[Filtered to INMATES, excluding Wanda and Arthas]

Some of you have been here for years. I want to know what you've learned. [He's testing the waters here, putting out feelers. Who's into this redemption line they're spoon feeding us, and who's willing to fight for their freedom. Just not in so many words.] Have you allowed them to try and change you? Do you believe everything they've promised?

[Private to Arthas]

I'm told you hate this ship and everything it claims to stand for. Was I misinformed?

[Private to Ivy]

I think it's time we find out just who sees reason among us. [A pause, and an afterthought:] It would be prudent of you to avoid a man named Charles Xavier.

[Private to Charles]

Pyro. [What is up with this future kid mutants knowing us thing. :|]

Comments

[Private] fuck you Erik I can be pals with Ivy if I want to

[wedonot]

I saw you'd spoken to him too.

[Private] NOPE NOT ALLOWED.

[wecanavenge]

He knew our names. We're going to have a very active future, it seems.

[Private] YOU DON'T CONTROL ME

[wedonot]

Are you really surprised?

Private

[chlorophylliac]

A friend of yours?

[From her tone she may actually mean 'how many times have you tried to shank him'.]

Private

[wecanavenge]

He was. [JUST THE ONCE. ;;] He's a telepath. Unless you have some natural way of protecting yourself, it would be best to keep your distance. There is a reason I wear this helmet.

Private

[chlorophylliac]

I appreciate the warning.

Does he simply read minds or is there anything more proactive in his arsenal?

Inmate Filter

[hourglass_twin]

I have not changed, no, nor do I have any desire to.

Inmate Filter

[wecanavenge]

And why should you? Who are they to decide how we should feel, or act?

Inmate Filter

[hourglass_twin]

Perhaps some would say I should because I'm vengeful, power hungry and mad, but I would not agree with them.

[Private]

[insolubleriddle]

[It's entirely in text to keep himself anonymous.]

I'm disinclined to let the wardens change me, and I don't much care for what they're offering. But their methods work, and inmates are given opportunities beyond what they could ever dream of.

I can't deny my observations.

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

[Still voice on Erik's end; he's eying that anonymity there.]

At the price of conforming to the ideals of people we have no reason to believe in or respect. They've exchanged themselves for the sake of - what? What opportunities?

[Private]

[insolubleriddle]

That wasn't an opening for a debate, or discussion. It would be an exercise in futility; I want to conform to these people no more than you do, and I have absolutely no desire to change your opinion. I just happen to acknowledge the pros and cons of incarceration here.

Would you like to hear what I've learned during my time on the barge?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

I've learned to be real suspicious when someone I doesn't know starts asking dangerous questions.

And no, I don't believe their promises. I don't believe anything they say.

[Private]

[wecanavenge]

I introduced myself once before, openly. I'm disinclined to repeat myself, but as I don't know who you are, it seems only fair to say that I am Erik Lensherr.

What's your name? How long have you been here?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph]

The network's a busy place. You expect everyone to see everything you say, get ready for disappointment.

I've been here for ten months. The name's David.

[tatty_bye]

No personal promises have been made toward my person that I can recall, but the general promises?

They don't interest me. I did not die, regardless of what these people try to tell me, so I can hardly see how a return from death could yet benefit me. There are some properly termed 'graduates' who still remain, and perhaps they might be better equipped to elucidate. Particularly with regard to 'change'.

Have I allowed them to try to change me? Certainly. But the key word there is "try", is it not? [A chuckle] As if they could!

Do I believe what they are telling me? Well, I'm certain a good many of them believe what they are saying.

Filter

[wecanavenge]

Those 'graduates' have already accepted their brainwashing. Their opinions will be weighed accordingly.

What do you believe?

Filter

[tatty_bye]

Oh, it's not brainwashing. Not generally. I've seen that in action.

I believe they do not know me very well.

[surrenders]

A few people around here made it out. Might want to ask them.

[ Because she has no idea what she even thinks anymore. ]

filter

[wecanavenge]

[He knows a passive voice when he hears one.]

What do you think?

private, because she has sense

[surrenders]

[ She remembers this man and is very careful as to what she says; he's the kind of guy who'd hold her to it if she changes her mind in a way he doesn't like. ]

Seen people change, but not I'm sure if it's always good.

Private

[darknessb4me]

[Audio; a very cold male baritone. American.]

By who?

Private

[wecanavenge]

Does that matter?

Filter

[foresaw]

What I've learned can really only be applied to my own issues, I think. I came here wanting to change, but no, I still don't believe everything that's been promised to me.

[You're off the list for the uprising party, Isaac. :c] Do you still want to?
