[Voice] Cold Reality

[unseenspy]

[And here's Jay with another Cold Reality report.]

Another New Feather cycle, hmm? Welcome, I suppose...although this place isn't meant to be welcoming at all. And for those who are boldly making claims, please don't delude yourselves. You're in for a much more difficult task than you're anticipating. Thus, you won't be escaping from here anytime soon. Not by your own will, anyway. So whatever sanity you have, be sure to hold onto it, because it will be tested.

Tested?

I rather think this strange place and its unnatural wings are test enough.

[The tone is light enough, certainly. Some concern to it, yes, but an undercurrent of a chuckle, almost.]

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Oh, trust me. By the time this month is over, the wings will be the least of your worries. You may even forget that you have the wings.

[voice]

[halftheduet.livejournal.com]

Oh?

I don't suppose you'd be willing to tell me more?

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

There's not much more to tell, really. Once you witness the experiments, you'll know what I mean. They happen roughly every month.

[voice]

[halftheduet.livejournal.com]

Ah. Yes. I read about those.

I... can only imagine. [And he does not like what he can imagine.]

[Well, look who it is. She hasn't spoken to JJ yet since she got here, so obviously Norma has to poke her nose into his business like a pokey thing.]

Oooh, so serious, JJ! Jeez, can't you just say "Yo! Welcome to Luceti, enjoy the party and tip the cute brunette with the sweet face"? You're such a downer! That's why you're such a shorty you know.

[Voice]

[Under any other circumstances, Jay would be thrilled to hear from her. But that remark kind of irritates him.]

Norma...that certainly wouldn't be me if I said that. And things will certainly be a downer if they don't heed my advice.

[Voice]

[lookinforlight.livejournal.com]

Oooh...so you were really trying to help people out? Aww, and here I just thought you were being grumpy! That's so sweet of you!

[Ohoho, did you miss her, Jay? Tell Norma you missed her. She knows you missed her and trolling ways.]

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

You know me too well. [That just might be a yes.]

[Voice]

[lookinforlight.livejournal.com]

[Th-That was not what she was expecting, and blinks for a moment. CURSE YOU JJ, YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO OUTSMART HER.] ...Well, it's good to know you're still the same.

[dreamfandom.livejournal.com]

You don't gotta put it like that...

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

And why not? I'm putting it in plain and simple terms that hopefully everyone can understand.

[dreamfandom.livejournal.com]

Why don'cha mention the parties! Everyone loves parties!

And a free balloon for every New Feather!

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

And what is there to celebrate? Our captivity? Why should we celebrate something like that?

[dreamfandom.livejournal.com]

Meeting new friends!

Good to hear someone finally decided to be the voice of reason here. No one should be content with just settling in here and being content with constantly being played around with, right?

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Exactly. So many people fail to see reason, it's ridiculous.

[Voice]

[repudiate]

Luckily I've recently come to find there are at least some decent people here.. Maybe we should all team up, we'd probably be out of here in no time at this rate.

[Voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, simply gathering all the decent people won't be enough to get us out of here that easily.

[voice]

[emperorsnewswag.livejournal.com]

I didn't notice these things came in cycles.

[voice]

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

If you'll pay attention, you'll notice that new people arrive every two months or so. That's the current pattern, at least.

[Moses reads the journal entry as it happens, frowning slightly. Some words go over his head but he gets the gist of it.]

Why you gotta be so damn harsh all the time? These guys're comin' in here all confused'n you just wanna throw 'em into a pit of rabid eggbears.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

I'm not the one "throwing them into the pit," as you say. I'm merely informing people of what to expect. I'm not going to give them a false sense of security by telling them that this place is all sunshine and roses.

[Because this place is far from it, as far as he's concerned.]

[rogue-hunt.livejournal.com]

[Okay, you have him there but still.]

I know it ain't all happy'n fun but I'm bettin' nothin' ever is for a lotta these people. All you're doin' is takin' away their hope. One thing to tell 'em they're stuck here, another to tell 'em to expect all hell to drop on their heads.

[unseenspy.livejournal.com]

They should have at least some idea of what to expect here. And it's better to drop all hope now rather than become disappointed after they've been stuck here for some time.

Do you have any idea how disappointed I was when I couldn't escape from here?
