[ Feferi looks worried-- frowning, braiding and unbraiding a lock of her hair ad nauseum. She doesn't speak at first, distracted by something offscreen as soon as she turns the feed on. She brings her attention back to the tablet after a few seconds. ]

I have been thinking a lot lately, and I think I understand now what other people have been saying the whole time.

We should leave here. I mean it, just leave the Hold! They cannot do anything about it if we do. I know they can't send us back, and they're probably not going to kill us because they need us, and even if they tried, I bet we could take them on! We fight and win against the UE, why couldn't we fight and win against the Initiative? We have magicians, scientists, doctors... everything! We could make it on our own if we wanted to!

[ She gets herself all worked up the more, the finally sighs and deflates a little, her shoulders sagging. ]

I don't want to be here anymore, I am tired of being the scapegoat for something we didn't do.

[ And, quieter: ] I wish my lusus was here...

[[ ooc: Feferi is currently falling victim to the runeblade shadow demon thingies from this plot here. ]]

Well obwiously.

You're often the first adwocatin' optimism an' belief in the cause or whatewer.

[fintastic]

Well maybe I am done with all of that!

[caligulas_aquarium]

Look I'm sorta loathe to be all up in defense a' these morons but [BUT BASICALLY HE'S WORRIED ABOUT YOU GEEZ] you're jumpin' on the pessimism train a little too late there, ain't you.

It's not exactly the first time we got bombed an' diseased, or blamed for it.

[ Eridan stop let her wallow in her sudden and inexplicable misery. ]

But the natives never treated us like this before.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Psh, yeah, right.

Just makes it obwious you weren't here for the riots.

[fintastic]

Yeah I was! [ Wait was she? Now she's just not sure. Is she just conflating everything that happened in New Mexico with everything that's happened here? ] It doesn't even matter, they don't want us here.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Well aren't you already in a good position to not got to fight for 'em anymore.

You got your own place already.

[fintastic]

It's still their island, and they're still going to try to send us on missions.

[caligulas_aquarium]

Then don't participate ewen if you're shipped off anyways? Ugh...

Look, just.

Don't do nothin' stupid.

[fintastic]

I won't! I will plan it out really well, I'll get help with it. It'll be okay.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[YEAH BUT THE LAST TIME A FISH TROLL SAID THAT WAS HIM.

AND LOOK HOW THAT TURNED OUT...on the one hand he can't let this go, but on the other hand he just has no idea what to do here.]

Well what if noone's interested in helpin' out?

[fintastic]

[ SHHHHHhhh we don't talk about that anymore. ]

You won't help me?
