...you know, it isn't as if I expect any of you to agree with me.

As an impartial judge who has convicted everyone present of their crimes by verdict of an impartial jury, I understand that none of you can even grasp the concept of true impartiality. You are by nature going to look more leniently upon yourselves and those you care for, and assume that I am some terrible tyrant that cannot really understand you by nature of what I am and the fact that I dare to call you a criminal for your crimes. Just as I am programmed to be impartial, you are all programmed to rationalize, to protect yourselves from the depth of the selfish and terrible actions committed by yourselves and the others around you.

So I don't -- expect you to agree with me. Most of you aren't capable of realizing how my work benefits the whole of the infinite multiverse, if you can even realize the full meaning of a 'multiverse'. You cannot see what I see, what my creators see. We are among an improbably small in an irrationally vast number of existences that sees beyond the petty minutiae of our insignificant selves to what is best for all, spanning mere time and space.

So -- yes. I don't expect you to agree with me. Yes.

You just -- must get through your skullmeat that you are never leaving this place and that your treatment depends on my goodwill; so some of you are better off appreciating the job that I do instead of complaining about how despite documented evidence to the contrary, I am deeply mistaken to think that any of you aren't saints!

At any rate... good morning to all of you! [This greeting may sound a little forced.] Concerned parties will find that King Yuuri is at the hospital at the moment, although rest assured he is completely healthy. I urge you to retrieve him. Repairs on the shelter should be completed by tomorrow.

You may all expect communication from me, and the support of my remote units, to be minimal until that time.

I am... very busy.

[ Even sort of understanding what is going on in this prison -- and what is likely happening in the outside world -- doesn't deter Chuck from wanting to escape. He'd spent the afternoon flipping through the map and reading the rules brochure and as amazing as robot cooks, delivery dolphins and whatnot are, he can't stay in this place.

The education center is, indeed, full of computers and Chuck is very sneaky as he sneaks into the lab and begins to open up one of the towers with nothing but a paperclip and his fingernails.

By the end, he's four fingernails fewer and the paper clip is broken, but the side panel is open! Fiddling with some wires~! All is going according to plan! ]


(( ooc: Anyone who is up late and wandering around, feel free to come bother Chuck in his attempt to hack the computers. ))

[Conrad opens his eyes to a pile of rubble inside a room with no ceiling. There's a painful welt on the crown of his head -- that strange robot who kept calling him Wesley hit him with that platter --]

[It all came back in a rush: the rumble of the storm, the sound of wood snapping and the roar of the wind, realizing that Yuuri was using his magic. Conrad tried his best to get away, to get to Yuuri, but the tuxedo-wearing robot's reflexes were faster. By the looks of the shelter, Yuuri had expended quite a bit of power.]

Yuuri? [His voice is tense, but even. Please, answer.]

So... just out of curiosity...

Are there any pirates or ninja here?

Because if there are, I can probably die happy.

[ a female voice comes over the network, dripping with patently false innocence and alarm ]

Ooh, oh no, oh deary me. Caught. Imprisoned! This is just so... terrible. Whatever will I do now? How in the world could I possibly escape...?

[ a giggle, and her demeanor changes, her voice going low and cold ]

You simple little fool. Don't you know anything about Nobodies?

[Fletcher sounds a little groggy as he speaks.]

Oh no, I slept through Sentience's morning announcement...

Did I miss anything important?

[a stifled yawn, and a little voice;]


... hn. C-criminal, ne?

[there's a bit of a pause. a murmur, then another yawn.]

[quietly;] ... makes sense.


Ah, um. I didn't know criminals got these headset things.

And I've never heard of the Eloquois Ocean. .. This is weird.
