[The video comes on perhaps a few seconds too soon, showing Cal sitting in front of a window, a lit cigarette in his mouth. There's not really any way to tell what he's looking at outside, but after a few moments he takes the cigarette from his mouth and extinguishes it, exhaling more smoke.

Judging by the haze in the air, he's been there a while.

Once the cigarette is out, he turns to look directly into the camera. This is a very human way of communicating and he isn't sure that he likes it.]


Are we supposed to believe this place isn't actually hell? [Because so far the only good thing about it is Pell. Not that he's ever had a particularly safe life, but the ridiculousness he's seen in the short time he's been here is beyond acceptable.

He almost lights another cigarette, but thinks better of it, and sighs instead.]


All this for what, to stir up some emotions? [He laughs, but the sound is joyless.] Be careful what you wish for and all that nonsense.

So what happens when they get more of us than they can handle?

Of course it's not hell. Stuff like that doesn't exist.

[But places where 'gods' regularly mess with people's emotions do, apparently. Firo reconciles this in his mind by believing that it's some kind of hoax or trick.]

When there's too many, they'll probably cut their losses and let us starve. I don't see any of 'em sticking their necks out too far for us.

Hell would already be overflowing with people.

If hell existed, it would have everyone God didn't want from the beginning of time. I don't see billions of people here.

It's just a place Cal.It's as good or bad as any other. The only difference is this place doesn't seem to have an exit we can use.

[Can we all appreciate the nerve it took Flick to actually make this video? Or maybe your not as scary the morning after.]

You're going to use up all the cigarettes.

[She scoffs.]

Of course this is not hell. Would not have ended up here if it actually was.

[Not that she would have ended up in any sort of heaven, either.]
circumitus: Keep up the good work. (it's a 12/12/12 miracle)

Can't say. Don't personally believe in either.

[Even if they do exist, Rey doesn't believe there is a place for something like herself.]

Have died many times, however. Never ended up anywhere like this between deaths.

So by "handle" you mean if there were enough of us to take 'em on?
circumitus: Otherwise you'd be a dad by now. (thank god you're gay)

[personal profile] circumitus 2016-12-03 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but not dead here. Just wherever they came from, like those that are still living.

Means that, for some people, this is more like a second chance. Sure, things aren't always sunshine and rainbows in this city. But then, did not come from a place that was all sunshine and rainbows before, either.

Exactly the point.

You think people're gonna take up torches and pitchforks? If that's something you want, why don't you go and make it happen?

[Firo's making a big assumption there, but he's not used to thinking too hard about his logical leaps.]

We're not giving them anything. They're the ones who kidnapped us.

[Semantics, really. In a way, they are.]

What exactly do you think is gonna happen?

They can only do so much with an emotion. Even when people were murdering each other--I'm gonna assume you missed that--everybody came back anyway. Doesn't seem to matter too much, from what we've seen so far.
