[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.]

Indeed. Yet what else can an ignorant mass do, than act as an ignorant mass? I have lost my hopes to see them better themselves long ago and the spectacle offered by this tower has only confirmed my beliefs.

As for your question, obviously not. And if left to them, nothing let alone an attempt will happen.

I cannot believe that people would take no action against their ends when given foreknowledge of it. It's unthinkable.

You have been here for a while, I take it? And nothing has changed, you say.

It is not unthinkable. It is their very nature. A few have taken action, but scared of the consequences they have scurried back into their hole, safe and away from harm.

I have been here for a while indeed. And I even have had the pleasure to see the residents of this tower stand by Ruana's side and protect her when they had an opportunity to at least try to act against her.

...Might I ask when and why? As far as I can tell near everyone hates her. I'm surprised to hear that at one point they did actually defend her.

I believe this all happened half a year ago... The situation was different, yet the hatred against the administrators and her in particular was as strong as it is today.

Ruana paid a visit to the residential floors of this tower. Someone used this ocasion to try and murder her... However, rather than chose and assist in the effort against her, the residents of this tower willingly stood by her side and shielded her with their own lives. They gathered around her such flies unavoidably drawn to the very fire that will extinguish them.

With what we know today, it is safe to say the attempt was doomed to fail. However nobody knew that much then, yet when faced with the possibility to fight their enemy they chose to crawl at her feet.

This, is the true nature of those who reside in this tower. Today they speak of defeating Ruana and end it all, but once they will be faced with a concrete opportunity to test their words, they will not do anything.
