[ANON TEXT] ON COWARDS AND COLLARS
Open your eyes, Tower.
Collar checks are back on.
I was told once that these checks are important to ensure our survival here; this belief is clearly flawed. Or if it ever were a fragment of the truth, how can that notion even be justified now when we are all now so painfully aware of the true nature of our existence here. Shouldn't we now all be feeling the adverse effects having not had our liquid changed in over a month?
This liquid is at least part of the integrity of this many-layered prison we reside in. It strengthens the bars of our cages, twists our wills into obedience. Our souls, cores, spirits - whatever you would call them, we are powerful enough to be a threat to them! But currently, we can be only as powerful as they allow us to be. Only ever as "free" as to whatever-extent the nerve of whichever admin feels that we deserve.
Yet still here we are, all lined up neatly at the Infirmary like cattle to a bi-weekly slaughter. You hear your color announced and like the mindless drones they would have of us you follow without question.
It's a part of Tower-life.
It's disgusting to think that you all still think this is a necessary requirement, that it is somehow justified! Or perhaps you have given up already. Well, you might as well go down there and offer yourselves to her, surrender all that you have left to the Tower of Animus.
A stone in an ocean will only ripple the water, so will a few pebbles. A landslide may flood the land, but a big enough chunk of rock can obliterate everything.
Next time, ignore the announcement. Avoid the 2nd Floor. They cannot force us all. The clock is ticking.
[OOC: Signups for the MASS COLLAR BOYCOTT are here and run until the day prior til your next characters collar check.]

Yes, yes! Well said, mon petit! Nothing will get done if we do not take some risks.
Even if it takes a while. Even if it ends... [He shrugs, smiles, and tugs at his collar a bit awkwardly.] ...badly. We have to try.

That's right. I have been alive for over fifteen hundred years now. I can't see this long life of mine ending in just one short year. They call me a coward, but I still have some fight left in these old bones, you know? With all of us doing something together, they have to pay attention to us!

[He laughs at his private little joke (though maybe it's not so private, depending on how much America's learned about his own Revolution by now).]
But in order to do all of that, first we have to fight. We have to win. Then we can change things all we like.

Right! [France nods.] Always stick to your beliefs, darling. Don't let these people convince you otherwise.
[A little rude considering this is a public feed, but whatever. He can deal with a few silly disagreements.]
