Day 363 - Open Video/Action
[Video]

[The video opens on a man sitting squarely in view, his bearing better suited to someone awaiting a big job interview than a newly incarcerated prisoner.]

Hello, MarinaNova Asylum. My name is Felix Gaeta. I'd say that it's a pleasure to join your ranks, but I don't want to start off on a lie.

I've been over the information I was provided with on arrival and it left a number of things unanswered. Namely... [a pause to pick up a notepad] ...is all of this really virtual, and, if so, does anyone know where our bodies are?

Do you have a leader or any kind of civilian government?

Is everything here actually free for the taking, or are there strings attached?

[He pauses again, flips a couple of pages, and sighs.]

Maybe this is a better question: do you have an archive or some other collection of information that hasn't been provided by the wardens? No one wants me to go through all of these, including me.

[And scene.]

[Action]

[Gaeta can be found at the library—taking notes, likely—or at any of the many eateries in Marina, admiring the sheer selection available. He won't go out of his way to be friendly.]

	Are there ideas, at least, or do I need to make myself comfortable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-25 02:23 pm UTC (link)
	There are ideas, but you should probably get comfortable, because they're all long shots. Not that I'd blame you for being eager to get back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	["Eager" is such a strong word.] You're pretty calm about being imprisoned. Is everyone this accepting? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-25 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	I've been here for almost ten months. I had a lot of momentum for getting out those first six months or so and then it started tapering off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-02-26 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	The prospects are that bleak? Encouraging. [He writes something down.] Morale doesn't seem as low here as I'd expect it to be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-02-29 01:56 pm UTC (link)
	We're a couple of days away from the place being open for a full year and we don't have a lot to show for our efforts against it. As far as morale goes... I think the part where there's always food and entertainment keeps a lot of people happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-01 04:01 pm UTC (link)
	So our robot dictators want us to be too content to want to fight them. That could imply that they wouldn't be able to hold out against us if we rebelled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-01 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	That is the kind of optimistic thinking that sounds completely logical and will probably get you disappointed. [But he's thought the same thing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-01 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	You don't think it could be true? There are a lot of ways to fight. Maybe no one's found the right way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-06 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't still be at it if I didn't think there was a chance. I just know it's rough when you think you'll be here hours or days and it turns into months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-07 04:01 am UTC (link)
	[Thanks for reminding him that he could be here for months, Sam.] What happens at home in the days or months where we're not there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-07 04:20 am UTC (link)
	[Hey, it could be years for all he knows!] The thing we've all heard? Another version of you is there to do what you'd do, but without breaking any laws. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-07 05:33 am UTC (link)
	[No.] I don't suppose you've heard where that version comes from or what happens to us if it gets killed, have you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-07 01:34 pm UTC (link)
	I don't. I assume it came from a warden originally. If it is true mine's already died a few times. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-08 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Is getting killed something that happens a lot where you're from? [Equal parts concern and curiosity.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-09 02:02 pm UTC (link)
	It's normally just one time, but my life isn't normal one. [He's usually more reserved with that, but where is reserved getting him in prison life anyway?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-09 04:28 pm UTC (link)
	I'd say so. How's it possible to die more than once? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-16 12:35 pm UTC (link)
	Here you just come back the next day now. Which is easy enough because of the virtual reality system. At home it's a little more complicated and rare. [Just not for the Winchesters.] You have to know the right people. Who aren't usually people exactly. [Not human at least.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-20 06:23 am UTC (link)
	Complicated. [A raised eyebrow because coming back from the dead should be more than complicated and rare since Sam is from a universe without robots that resurrect themselves.] What are they, exactly? Not cylons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-20 05:12 pm UTC (link)
	Cylons? No, angels. Demons. Death. I should probably be bracing you more for that or trying to explain I'm not as crazy as I sound, but it gets old. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-21 03:52 am UTC (link)
	You do sound crazy, and I wish I had reasons to think that you aren't telling the truth. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2016-03-21 04:06 am UTC (link)
	If it helps any they aren't big factors here. But if you ever get the chance to pick a world to go to after this I wouldn't recommend mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	didwhaticould 2016-03-22 03:32 am UTC (link)
	So noted. The only simple, reliable thing that humanity has going for it where I'm from is dying; I wouldn't want to go to a world where even that gets complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
