Week 3

[airlockedmods]

[Four people dead now - six, if you include the crew. Things have been a little rough on the Starfield Penitentiary this week. Blaze Dudely doesn't make a public reappearance during the weekend, so you've got a few days to yourselves to recover, though he's probably still sticking to his office hours if you really feel like going to see him. On Sunday morning, you may find that you're recovering a a few other things as well - both strange dreams and some new items.

In addition, there's a new set of doors at the end of the corridor, by that empty space where you'd been having your fight club. Looks like you've got a new wing to explore.]



Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

[chides]

I guess we'll find out.

[ebonyknight]

The question is: do we really wish to know?

[chides]

I would like to know what we did to deserve being locked up here!

[ebonyknight]

I know why I'm here--or rather, I know what I've done to deserve prison. I already escaped my execution once before. For some of us it may not be so easy to take.

[chides]

Wait--slow down. You were supposed to be executed?

[ holy shit what kind of criminal are you apollo ]

[ebonyknight]

[She calmly holds out her PIP and taps at her profile. "Other Crimes: War crimes".]

Albeit the charges were hyped up and made by a political enemy of mine but I find it cowardly to lie. I helped create an empire from scratch. Any general or politician can tell you that is a bloody path.

[She once sicced a sea serpent on an unsuspecting populace, too.]

[chides]

[ he knows that much, but execution? that's not a punishment that really happens back at his world. ]

...I guess so. I'm just surprised. Execution's not a thing back where I'm from.

[ebonyknight]

Again, like I said it was originally arranged by a political enemy. The Prime Minister wanted me out of the way.

[Albeit, the people who were going to do the execution would only have done it after verifying the claims.]

[chides]

That's...rough.

[ really rough. damn. he really doesn't know what else to say. ]

[ebonyknight]

[She--

Shrugs.]

Such is life.

[chides]

Where you're from, I guess so.

[ that's rough buddy ]

[ebonyknight]

If you were the second in command of a large empire, yes. That woman probably only let me live this long to serve her own goals.

[thanks buddy]

[chides]

Sounds like a pretty corrupt ruler.

[ebonyknight]

Not for long when I get my hands on her and get my doll back.

[chides]

[ an overthrow, huh? that...sounded a lot like something korra would say. ]

What was that about a doll?

[ebonyknight]

Not an actual doll. Think of her as more of an empty vessel devoid--[I'm sorry.]--of actual feeling.

She is key for controlling a particular kind of weapon, hence why that damn Freesia kidnapped her.

[chides]

Is she an actual person?

[ what the fuck kind of world is this ]

[ebonyknight]

I.. suppose you can say that.

[mako you don't want to get the backstory.]

[chides]

Sounds like a pretty messed up situation.

[ he doesn't know enough to commentate anymore than that. perhaps it's better off that way. ]

[ebonyknight]

If the dream I had was any indication, I did get her back. The Prime Minister is still going to get the end of my blade, though.

[good boy.]

[chides]

Oh. Well, I guess that's...a good thing.

What kind of ruler do you think you'll be?

[ebonyknight]

Me? I'm not planning on taking over. Being the military commander was too much of a bother.

[chides]

So you just want her gone? How about the person who's taking over?

[ebonyknight]

We're trying to take the empire back to the ground. Without her there will be no leader and no reason for it to exist.

[chides]

Oh. That makes a lot more sense.

[ damn apollo that's ambitious ]
