[Voice] Rollcall

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[The microphone turns on and there is a silence for a while, just the crackling. Finally Suzaku speaks, his voice is small.]

Lloyds gone hasn't he? [And he hadn't even noticed, hadn't realised how much time had passed since he last saw the scientist because of all the visions and voices and...]

Maybe... Maybe we need to work out who is still here, and who disapeared when we all... [When they all turned on each other, when their minds were taken over, so close to Geass that Suzaku was terrified of the power that was ruling this tower.]

Suzaku Kururugi still here.

Lloyd Asplond is presumed missing.

[It's taken Nina a while to find and figure out how to use the network terminals, but she's doing alright now. She listens to him, not sure what he's talking about, and feeling her stomach twist a little, trying to imagine what things it could be.]

When 'we' all...? [Then, just so she isn't completely ruining the idea behind why he made this broadcast, she does go on:]

My name is Nina Fortner. I'm new in this place.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[He feels a bit bad about potentially frightening someone who is new, but they need to know. They all need to know so it doesn't happen again.]

Hello Nina Fortner. [He has brought some scrap paper, the letter he got thanking him for his part in the 'experiment' actually, and a pen and writes down the name.]

Some of us were subjected to some kind of experiment by those keeping us here... It... was not pleasent for anyone involved at all.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

Just Nina is fine. [She tries to keep the worry out of her voice. She's pretty good at keeping it determinedly flat, but just the slightest bit of urgency creeps into it.] Experiment? What kind of experiment?

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

They operated on certain prisoners, changing them physically. They also... they seem to be able to control thoughts, feelings, compel others to follow their orders...

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

They what? [She heard him, just fine. But at that, she can't keep the horror from her voice.] But I don't understand how that's possible! [She doesn't understand how any of this is possible.]

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Neither do I... [Mind control scares him, and this was more powerful than even Geass] Just be careful Nina.

[brotherseyes.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you... Mr. Kururugi, wasn't it?

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Suzaku is fine.

I'm sorry she's doing this to be horrible

Milagro Reyes is still here.

[Action] sob so cruel ;;

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Milagro... [There is a silence and then a small beep as the feed cuts off, he's left the computer and has gone to find her. Luckily or unluckily as the case might be it does not take him long, she is in the second place he looks.]

Milagro... [He stands awkwardly, unsure of what to say]

I'm not afraid of you.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[Well it wasn't the reaction he was expecting but he wouldn't have been able to cope if she had acted afraid of him. He walked closer and bowed his head] I'm sorry Milagro. [No excuses, mind control that might be Geass or not does not excuse him for killing her.]

You're so lucky this isn't my official sector.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[Blinking, he has no idea what she just said.]

[princesslantern.livejournal.com]

If you did this to someone else, where I came from, we'd eat you alive.

[action]

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[And Suzaku nods, understanding now] And I would deserve it.

[action]

[princesslantern.livejournal.com]

You're not even going to bullshit some excuse?!

[action]

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head] There is no excuse for my actions. [Except that he was brainwashed but this is Suzaku we are talking about here]

[fifty]

I'm here! Uh, America.

I haven't seen Canada around, though. Girl Canada.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

Thank you America. [He writes that down, and puts Canada on the missing list.]
