Day 376 | private voice; (backdated, sorry!)
[ This voice call was meant for Kitty Pryde, Sr., but Lelouch was not quite specific enough when he made it, so both Kitties get to enjoy this brusque interjection into their regularly-scheduled routine. ]

Miss Pryde, I presume? [ And then, immediately, ] I'd like to report an incident.

[ Specifically, he'd like to report Suzaku's terrible life choices. Is there a form to fill out for that? ]

	[They did live together. It didn't take much to parse. Then again they live together now so...] The wardens like to play their timing games. Then again some worlds just have too much opportunity for unpleasantness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The most bitter of smiles, for one or both of those statements. ] Indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Forgive me for assuming, but I'm sorry for whatever experience you've had with the same. [ Trying for -- something more... thoughtful and sympathetic. Something that might build bridges rather than just... marinate him in his own unhappiness! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-30 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	That's okay, assume away. You'd be right. It wasn't a version of reality I'd wish on anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That's... a very heavy thing to say about your own world. Lelouch tries to imagine saying it about his, and can think of too many people who were happy even before the Zero Requiem. Carefully, ] Then I suppose it's better to be here instead? [ Timing games or otherwise. But he makes it a question, definitely not an assumption this time. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-30 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	For me. For some of us. Really, for anyone who'd be dead otherwise, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Euphie is still his first thought. And then, less comfortably, himself. ] ...I still don't understand why they wait so long to arrest us. But I suppose that's my... linearity limiting me. [ Belatedly, ] Are there a lot of [ them ] [ us ] people like that here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-30 10:17 pm UTC (link)
	That is probably what they'd say, yeah. I suspect it has more to do with none of this actually being a prison. But that's just a hypothesis. [Hard to test.] Mm, there have been a decent number and probably more than I'm actually aware of because we don't tend to advertise it. It's not the majority as far as I know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-05-30 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	Well, it's just such a personal detail. [ A little bit. Droll. But it sort of is. And... he's not sure he wants either of the people from his own world here knowing, which makes telling strangers less appealing. ] You think it's an experiment instead? [ Instead of a prison, that is. Yuuki suggested... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-05-30 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	One of the most personal. [Agreeing.] I don't know to what end, but yes, I think that makes more sense than believing they think all of this will lead to protecting timelines or rehabilitating us. We're investigating all avenues, but I think this one is the most likely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We"? [ The prison at large? The Force? A smaller group of your own choosing? And... let's stick to this topic, at least for now. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-01 03:56 am UTC (link)
	The investigative team. It's a branch of the defense force. Brute force alone isn't getting us out of this place. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-03 03:15 pm UTC (link)
	[ Well, no, obviously not. But. Lelouch lets out a willfully-steady breath. ] Especially not if you believe that this is all... simulated. [ Testing. Curious. Do you, Kitty? For his part, the actual escaping... doesn't seem to have much of a point. But information-gathering? Yes. Always. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-03 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	I don't think it's a possibility we can ignore. [And yes, she tends toward believing it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-03 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	[ Mmm. He smooths the lines of his shirt for a beat, thinking. ] If they control everything about this environment, investigation is only more difficult. [ Maybe they're not experiments, but they're certainly toys to the wardens, he thinks. If this isn't his real body, the choice to scar it was very deliberate. Just... as a small example. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-03 06:25 pm UTC (link)
	And so you see why we aren't all merrily on our way elsewhere yet. [Not exactly the easiest problem to solve.] Throw in people always coming and going and constant distractions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-04 02:40 am UTC (link)
	I wouldn't blame some if they simply gave up. [ Just, putting that out there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-05 01:11 am UTC (link)
	It's not a fight for everyone. Giving up is never the choice I make. [Even if there have been times when it was the choice she wanted to make about a few different things.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-05 02:00 am UTC (link)
	[ Heh. ] That's either admirable -- or stubborn. Though I suppose nothing stops it from being both. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-05 02:02 am UTC (link)
	I'm sure it's at least stubborn. I'll let you be the judge of the other bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-05 02:07 am UTC (link)
	[ Chuckling. He suggests, light, ] I'll be sure to let you know what I decide. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-05 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	I look forward to it. You were here for awhile before you know? One of the first. Maybe day 1. I don't know. I wasn't here until day 24. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-08 12:22 am UTC (link)
	...Really. [ Well. He could've disguised that discomfort better. A, a chuckle: ] How very inconvenient that I'm not one of the returned people who remembers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-06-11 12:48 am UTC (link)
	Maybe it's just as well. You can see things for how they are now and not for what you miss because it's changed or gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imperious 2016-06-15 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ Still mired a bit in his own thoughts, but... ] That sounds like something you've had too much experience with already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
