Grand opening!

[avibusraris]

[As soon as it's 7:00 am, there is a loud beep that echoes through the corridors of the prison. It's time for an announcement as the intercom comes on.]

Good morning my wonderful criminals, how are you all feeling? Don't worry, I can assure you that dizzy spell will wear off as soon as you get up and stretch those legs of yours. Be careful of your collar as well, as you might have guessed it has all sorts of functions! Also, today is December 8th, Sunday, and it's currently 7 am.

Now, it would be in your best interest to read your manuals that we've given you, just so you can get nice and settled in.

I'm afraid it's a little cold outside, if you have time to check the courtyards then you'll most likely feel that winter's breeze on your rosy little cheeks! Do be careful, I don't want any of you getting frostbite on your first day, that would be tragic.

Since it's the grand opening for you new comers, we are currently holding a small party in the cafeteria! Grab your soon-to-be-friends and head on down. We have tables set up and food as well!

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

[With that being said, the doors to the cells now slide open, allowing the inmates to leave their rooms.

In the cafeteria majority of the tables have been cleared away, and the ones that remain have red tablecloths on them, nice and fancy! The spread consists of luxurious food, even sweets of all kinds. Since it's December, it seems that the warden is in a rather giving mood, aren't you all lucky! ]

Now now, darling, statues don't talk. [ The poor reaction just seems to give Anastasia a bit of a smile. ] A person would step aside.

[cykeologist]

... And why exactly should I do that?

[Now she's just annoyed at this woman, really.]

[impureheart]

Because you don't want to go making dangerous enemies on your first day.

[cykeologist]

Huh? But aren't there guards for that sort of thing...?

[impureheart]

How many guards do you think are on the side of prisoners? [ She pauses, then stacks another question on that one. ] How quickly do you think they can be swayed to take certain sides?

[cykeologist]

Well, they'll take my side if I'm following the rules, won't they?

[impureheart]

For now, perhaps. Not forever.

[cykeologist]

And why not?!

[ Boy, do you agitate her to no end. ]

[impureheart]

This is a prison. That should tell you something about the righteous nature of human beings.

[cykeologist]

But... I still believe in people! Not everyone is completely horrible!

[impureheart]

Not everyone, no, but you're hardly in a place for the pure of heart now.

[cykeologist]

[Athena's eyes lower at her statement. She knows, but... she wants to believe that good things can still happen.]

I guess you're right.

[impureheart]

Don't worry, I'm sure somewhere there's an incorruptible soul. Though I doubt they're anywhere near a prison that puts its inmates on display.

[cykeologist]

... I suppose you're right.

[ If they are that pure, that is. ]

[impureheart]

I'd hardly speak unless I knew I was.
