WEEK 6

[lockdownmods]

[Week six comes like an ominous wave. If anything, the wall is more threatening that it's ever been. That sign from last week? Looks aged-- like it's far more than just a week old. But more than that, it feels like something is waiting to snap this week. What could possibly go wrong, after last week?

Said no one ever, at this point.

But still, if you look around this week, you might find out something. It's like someone has started leaving clues in places old and new. Take a look around.]

the garden

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... Rebecca?

[This... is not a good sight to see first thing upon walking into the garden.]

Did.... did something happen?

[throwabookatit]

[ This...isn't something she wants to explain. But. ]

Connor's- ...he was killed.

[ Her hands in her lap rest where the thirium was, now evaporated. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

[........... What. There's a sharp intake of air in surprise and Poe opens his mouth to ask what happened.... but nothing comes out. He closes it and just..... is quiet for a few long minutes before he organizes the thoughts swirling through his head and the emotions he's feeling enough to force out a singe quiet word.]


..... How?

[throwabookatit]

[ She shakes her head, mouth dry. How can she explain it. Just walking in, to find him on the ground, blue blood pour out, that thing in front of him-- ]

O- one of the...robots. V- Vivienne's- it. ...It murdered him. There w- was nothing...

[ Again. There was nothing she could do. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Was.... was it like with Plankton...? I'd... have thought they'd keep a better eye on them after that.

[Why are those things being allowed to wander around...????? Why???????]

[throwabookatit]

I don't know. I- I just showed up to find him there, and it was standing over him and he... He was just...bleeding out.

[ A hole in his chest, and nothing she could do but watch and cry. Not again. Not again. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

..... We're going to need to talk to the administration about actually keeping an eye on their robots.

[There's a quiet anger in Poe's voice. This... should not have happened again. Once is bad luck.... but twice?]

[throwabookatit]

I want to say a few more things t- to the administration.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

As long as you keep it verbal.... there is nothing they can do to stop you. There's no rule against justified yelling.

[throwabookatit]

If they even show their damn faces. I'm not just talking about fucking Hale, I want all of them to understand just what they're doing to us.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

I'm sure they are fully aware of it all... in fact... I wouldn't be surprised if they're watching.

[throwabookatit]

I want them...to know.

[ A growl in her voice. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Likewise. I want them to know..

[A small malicious smile flashes across Poe's face.]

.... and I want them to fear.

[Because those of them that survive this.... they'll need to be given a very convincing sob story.]

[throwabookatit]

[ It's not a kind smile that Rebecca gives him. It's not even a smile. But the look on her face...it's dark. It's horrible. ]

There's something we have in common.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

Good... I take it you'd also have no objections to stealing as much as we can and then razing this place to the ground if we have the opportunity at the end of this?

[He's already got the Clown in on that plan... so....]

[throwabookatit]

Oh, of course. All their...bloody technology.

[ She shakes her head. ]

It deserves to be put to damn good use.

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

It does...

[These people... really shouldn't be trusted with most of it.]

... although I can't help but think that some of it might be better off being lost in the blaze.

[throwabookatit]

...Some of it. But some-- I refuse to let slip through our fingers.

[ She has people counting on her, after all. ]

[blackcatintheruemorgue]

.... That's fair.

[... But will they ever get the opportunity in the first place?]
