[Someone is bored. And when someone is bored they do stupid things, and this would probably be classed as one of them. Besides, Gabriel's starting to get curious to see how people react to things.]

So like, I did something like this to someone once. For almost four months. It was pretty hilarious if you ask me. Groundhog day was a great movie, so I was feeling inspired. Pull the strings and see how they reacted. [There's zero shame, sorry Sam.]

Anyhoo. When I was doing that to my unwitting victim who shall remain nameless, stuck in my tangled web of illusion, I made sure to keep a close eye on them by disguising myself and watching. Simple right? So these staff apparently never show up but see everything anyway. Which means that they're probably one of us. I mean that's the only thing that makes sense. Pretend to be a hostage, fit in with the crowd and so on. Classic textbook.

So. Start making your excuses, I'm interested to hear 'em.

Oh before I forget. Has anyone here actually died? Not counting the captain who was dumb enough to keep coming back.

[aw hell yes. it was boring anyway.]

Maybe this place needs it. Sitting and not saying anything wasn't doing anyone any favors.

( too real. TOO REAL. )

You realize if this goes bad, if people don't stay calm about it, someone could get killed.

[He's not sorry.]

No-one has even died here yet. Someone dies? Then good for them, they found a way out. Look, this is a possibility that has to be thrown out there. People aren't going to fight that hard if they aren't hiding anything.

That's not how this goes down, that's never how this goes down.

( she'll just be finding something sharp in case someone gets hanged. again. frick everything. )

Well then what would you suggest?

I mean, sitting around doing nothing isn't helping either. And you know what? If the staff are so keen on keeping us, they'll step in before they lose a captive.

They can't be that keen on keeping all of us if they routinely wipe out a quarter of our numbers without a trace so maybe don't provoke them? And don't start any riots without proof?

( filed under: things clarke griffin learned the hard way. )

So you're just suggesting sitting around doing nothing. I've been sat here for ages doing nothing, so something has to happen to get the attention of the staff here.

Wait, when did we lose a quarter? Did I sleep through that fight?

( yeah, doing nothing is kinda exactly what she's suggesting )

Have none of your friends disappeared and stopped answering their doors? Because mine have.

[Sorry, Gabriel doesn't agree and he's not the kind to keep opinions to himself.]

Good for them! They beat the system. I'm going to do what I want to do because I refuse to sit here and wait for that to happen to me.

If you get anyone hurt, I'll —

( ... be really, really angry. because there's no good way to finishthat threat she's not really all that scary. and from the huffy look on her face, she knows it. )
