You know~ whoever it is who's "saved" us all and locked us up here? It's not very polite to make us wait an entire week for answers to our questions. I mean, you can't exactly blame us for being impatient, can you?

For example, I'd like to know what this collar is and whether I should use that candy you were so kind to pack for me. If you don't mind~?

It's a big pain in the neck, that's what it is.

Also rather impervious to force.

It's a classic power demonstration. They're letting us know that the flow of information is entirely under their control.

As for the collars, I haven't the faintest.

[pavomuticus]

To force? Well, I wasn't expecting to be able to pull it off.

[pavomuticus]

That's no fun at all, though.

[rangefound.livejournal.com]

Mass kidnappings aren't traditionally notorious for being a laugh a minute.

[pavomuticus]

Are you sure? Have you ever witnessed one before?

[rangefound.livejournal.com]

Bit of an expert on horrible things people do to each other, yeah.

[pavomuticus]

Then how can you say they're no fun?

[thisclinchesit]

Tried to break mine. Didn't go well.

[pavomuticus]

Now, I'm sure you're a big strong man, but I didn't think it would be that easy even for you. That would just be silly.

[marvelously]

At least they're...kind of pretty collars! Mine makes my eyes stand out!

[pavomuticus]

Yellow isn't my color at all.

[marvelously]

Oh! I think it...still looks very nice!

[pavomuticus]

Well, I appreciate the thought. I suppose I can live with yellow as long as I don't die at the end of the day...

[marvelously]

No one's going to die! Why would you say something like that?

[pavomuticus]

It's just that the last collar someone attached to my neck injected poison into my body... I do have some antidote in my trunk, but I'll have to take it pretty quickly! It's been nearly three days now.

[thisclinchesit]

Heh, well, it was worth a try.

[marvelously]

They injected poison into your neck?! That's so terrible! Why would anyone do that?

[pavomuticus]

It's how the death sentence worked! We were all used to it, but if that's what's going on here, it's not really fair, is it...

[marvelously]

It's wrong. That's not the kind of thing you should have to get used to. And if it's what's going on here, I'm going to stop it from happening!

[pavomuticus]

I do admire a man who tries to get the job done.

[pavomuticus]

[What a sweet girl. How naive.]

Would you like a piece of candy just in case?

[marvelously]

[Naive doesn't even start to cover it.]

Oh! That's right, you said you had candy, didn't you!

[thisclinchesit]

I do what I can, miss.

[pavomuticus]

I do~ I'll share it with you just this once, because you're so sweet, but I need to save it so try not to eat it unless you feel like you're about to die. Okay?
