Captivity

[animusmods]

Characters: Romeo, France, Milagro, Ψiioniic, Germany, Kanaya, Romana, Dean
Setting: cells
Format: either
Summary:Welcome to captivity.
Warnings: drama/angst/horror
Note: Please use the provided subthreads to keep things somewhat organized.


You awake in a cell. It's perfectly white, seemingly scrubbed impossibly clean, and instead of bars a sheet of glass or plastic--it's hard to tell--covers the only exit. The cell block itself is really a cell circle--while each person is in their own cell, they can see all the others, the circle only broken by a hallway leading to a closed elevator door.

No unusual powers or abilities work, and any object that grants such skills has been removed.

Speak to your fellow captives?

"I... not really?" The sound of the familiar voice, so much like Dolorosa's, nearly makes Ψiioniic cry for a moment. He manages to stop himself, but it's a near thing. He shuffles over to be as close to her as he can get, wanting the comfort of the familiar. "I'm alive. Are you thtill okay?"

"I am as fine as I can be given the circumstances. They have yet to come for me," she tries to speak in a very soothing voice but it is seeped with worry both for the others and for herself. She moves the corner of the cell closest to his.

"Your horns..." she says quietly, "I'm sorry."

"It... feelth so weird," he admits, shivering. "My head hurts, but not as much as it should. And... I can't... see properly," he realizes, as the dim view of people seem to flicker about in their cells.

"I couldn't imagine not having my horns," she whispers more to herself than to him. Again she touches one of her horns, worrying that they will take hers as well. Taking something as constant as her horns was unimaginable.

"Did you do something to your eyes then?"

"They theem to be doing different thingth to each of us," he points out, trying to console her. For what little value it could possibly have, at this point. "Maybe they won't take yourth. My powerth... I can't control them. My vision twofold ith flipping back and forth and I can't tell the differenthe between patht and present."

His lisp is a lot stronger than usual, far closer to the way Sollux speaks. It takes effort for him to control it, and he doesn't have the focus to spare right now.

She really doesn't know what to say to him, "I'm sorry," is what comes out. She has been telling others that what happened is not their fault, but she can't help but apologize for his pain.

"It'th not your fault, Kanaya," he assures her quickly. "We're all in thith together. We can't thtart blaming each other."
