It would seem that the state between death, dreaming and life has more to be desired. The reason for our continued presence remains a mystery as we play the role of docile prisoners to this...Emperor. While others may seek contentment in their cage under the guise of routine and monotony, I must question one simple thing:

Tell me, fellow occupants, how long are we to be kept in the dark?

Surely none of the Kedan's guests were aware of the creatures lurking beneath the shadowed depths of Tu Vishan. A small, inconsequential thing, perhaps, to those who no longer have the fear of death instilled upon them, but the opportunity to prepare for such onslaughts was stolen from us. We are all strangers in a strange land, fellow outsiders, and it seems as if the Kedan are more than happy to maintain that relationship. A relationship that leaves us in a state of inaction.

Citizens, for that is what we should rightfully call ourselves here, it is time to find our voice.

I seek the services of a medical professional- preferably one with a hand in anesthesia. Chemists, would also be welcomed.

those are very pretty words.

[it's not that she doesn't necessarily agree, but it sounds so like propaganda, or the useless, meaingless words that politicians throw around, that it puts her on edge]

i'm trained to about the level of an EMT, so i might be able to help, though if you need anesthesia you may need someone a little more qualified.

[Maybe she should point him in Septimus' direction, since magic might be the best bet.]

Do not be placated by mere rhetoric. The power of the masses lies in action, not observation.

Yes. The anesthesia is a rather important part of the bargain.

It seems that we have a poet in our midst, a real wordsmith. I feel a bit threatened, actually. I wouldn't want to have to compete against you.

Theatricality is a useful tool in circumstances such as this.

I like to think of this as more of a vacation than a prison of monotony or whatever. At least until I get bored with things around here.

I am so looking forward to you running into Evandau.

But, for the record, you are neither the first nor the only one to demand such information. Would you even bother to share it if you acquire it?

Aim your hostility at the ones keeping you captive, good citizen. They are the ones most deserving of it.

Most didn't seem to know what was coming. I didn't see any preparations against the creatures when the dive began.

Perception is an unusual thing, in times of distress. Can you be certain of such a claim?

So you plannin' to start a riot or something?

[That won't do anything but piss people off. People like Logan.]

Reaching the worst conclusion so soon, citizen?

[text, anonymous, as if that keeps anyone from finding out it's him]

[wallcrawler]

So does this come in an abridged version, or is this strictly a highbrow affair?

It is time to ask questions of the ruling party here.

[Kal isn't one to be swayed by people who speak like, especially not when their propaganda could easily turn into invading a land that isn't theirs to have.

He can understand the feeling of discontent at not knowing all too well- he isn't happy about it himself, and they really should do something about it. But he gets the feeling these words aren't just meant to help people get the information they deserve and need to survive.]

Fanning the fire isn't the wisest thing to do right now.

I fear I disagree, citizen. The fire must rise, and action must be taken.

oh my, how dramatic! you certainly have a way with words, sir or madam. do you have a revolution in mind?

and i know a bit of healing magic, but i have no idea what anesthesia is.

A revolution of thought, perhaps. [ FOR NOW 8| ]

Your offer is appreciated, but my needs must be addressed by science.

What makes you feel as if an anonymous voice is the one that people wish to hear?

Because the idea must trump the man.

If prolonged inaction necessitates such a response, so be it.

[Due to being out and about, Lois gets to this one late. As such, she spends quite some time reading the responses.

Investigative sense is tingling...]

For all our non-English speakers, our new friend here says we have no voice. I don't think it's our voice we're having any problem finding. Some of us have been writing plenty--not to mention the constant complaints here, in front of the Emperor, or any time or place this subject comes up.

[Because Lois and Clark are totally doing their paper thing in the background.]

Besides which, to the best of my knowledge, invading forces always like to take their targets as unawares as possible. So none of this is actually news, or shocking.

Why don't we cut through the rhetoric: leaving aside the 'how,' 'when,' and 'why,' supposing you win, what do you plan to do once you've overthrown the Emperor?

perma text, perma anon

[occupygotham]

It seems clarification must be brought forth. The issue at hand is of organization. The struggles of the individual can be remedied by the collective, as it were.

And though your penchant for the dramatic is quite entertaining, Ms. Lane, I have no plans to overthrow any establishment. I merely seek its...redistribution of assets. Notably in regards to representation. Equality must be had among all citizens, wouldn't you agree?

But please, tell me more of my plans. You seem far more knowledgeable than I on the matter!

It is not a revolutionary concept, for men to seek sovereignty.
