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?

Romeo's eyes widened as Psiioniic told him about his world, he didn't understand the thing about blood, or lower classes being repressed but he understood revolutionaries and slavery.

"Did you do it?" His voice is strained, but under it all there is a glimmer of hope there, "Did you stop slavery?" Because if there was one world where people were free...

Well it would make all the worlds seem a little brighter. "When Alfredo died he asked me to carry on his dreams for him, to make a world where kids like us wern't sold as chimney sweeps. Where all children can run free under the blue sky." Tears filled his eyes and he gave a sad smile.

"The world ended before I could even begin but did you suceed? Did you and your friend do it?"

Ψiioniic was silent for a long moment, before he finally shook his head. "No," he admitted, voice low. "We lotht. We were captured, SS was tortured to death in front of uth, Dolorosa was turned into a slave, and I... I became the Helmsman for Her Imperial Condescension. Disciple ethcaped, at least. But ath far as I know, low-bloodth are still being enslaved in the future."

He sighed. The topic was always depressing, and he tried not to think about it much. "But I still believe it can be done. SS sayth that something went wrong on our timeline, that our race wasn't meant to be tho vicious and violent. If we can just overcome it, there'th still hope for us. There hath to be."

"Oh." Romeo fell silent, that was awful and it made him wonder if he had ever had a chance. If adults couldn't stop slavery had he ever had a chance of making the world a place where everyone was free. If adults had died trying, how was one small chimney sweep going to suceed.

But he had to, because he had promised Alfredo. He had made a vow. "When we escape from here," when not if because even after everything Romeo had hope, "We can find a world that hasn't ended and make a place without slavery, where the bad people aren't in charge."

"That thounds like a really good idea," Ψiioniic agreed, smiling a little despite everything. "Maybe SS and Disciple and I can hitch a ride? And thome of our Descendents, they're pretty decent kidth. I'd like to live in a plathe with no slavery, that's why I followed SS in the first place."

"Yes we can all go, all the good people and make a world that's nice without bad people and without slavery. Then your friend SS's dream will come true and so will Alfredo's!"

"It'th a deal, we'll do it together," Ψiioniic promised him. "Welcome to the revolution, Romeo."

"We'll do it together," Romeo repeated with a small smile. He guessed the revoltion was like the Black Brothers and he was glad to be a part of it.
