Warnings: Possible violence and chocolate plot business.

[ Dolorosa had been working on this dress for a couple weeks now, collecting what scraps she could that fit her needs, but they weren't always easy to come by. It was the veiled cape that had been the most difficult, but she'd finally found the right material, and had gotten the dye to properly take.

It was almost finished, and soon she would't have to continue wearing this silly jumpsuit any longer. It only needed one last addition: her sign. It had been sweeps since she'd last worn it, or even been allowed to see it, but she ever forgot its shape, and so making the thread follow her whims until it took form was accomplished without mistake, and only the slightest pause.

It was a form of therapy, this dress. A reclamation of her identity. Within the hour, once properly garbed, she would once again be fully herself. ]

Oh, but the definition of one's crimes is usually decided by the rulers of a given state, is it not? Law can be entirely subjective, dependent on their predilections, to the degree where even being born may be considered a capital crime for some individuals.

[ Bitter much, Dolorosa? ]

[legislacerates]

[redglare purses her lips. she is restraining herself from going off on a spiel about justice and how it is far more important than the law because she doubts that the dolorosa cares, at least at this point. she will save her opinion for another time, perhaps if this topic of conversation continues.]

Very well then, what do you suppose the common crime is between all the inhabitants of this hivestem?

[mamadonna]

[ And that is the question which reveals just how much she's even speculating, here. ]

Well, I haven't any clue, actually. But there must be some consideration which powers the selection process. I would only expected it to be criminal in nature due to the similarities the situation carries with imprisonment. The note of welcome which we were provided on arrival would frame it in a more commendable light.

[legislacerates]

Subjecting us to random testing is hardly a benevolent action. And the administration's claims of benevolence are quite clear, and equally false, in my opinion.

[mamadonna]

No, I likewise have my doubts of the kindness they express. Propagandic measures are no strange concept to us, after all, and the majority of residents whose stay has continued far longer than my own speak plainly of the unpleasantness these wardens practice upon us.
