Curses-- if you can call this that-- lasting more than a weekend aren't common, but they happen. This seems extreme, though, even by City standards.

Some of the people in there-- No one deserves--

Is anyone making an effort to get them out?

Maybe it's time to try.

I think this goes somewhat beyond what we could call a curse.

I'd say it's time.

[as_damaged]

What do you think the best course of action is?

[dr_conscience]

Well, we're hardly the best-equipped in the City to try to get anyone out by force. I'd say we should find someone to talk to, but I'm not sure we can expect any semblance of reason either.

[as_damaged]

That's what concerns me. I have a feeling all the people best-equipped for a frontal assault are probably already inside.

Maybe we should bake a cake with a file in it.

[dr_conscience]

I'm sure it's at least a vast majority of them.

[Surprisingly, Wilson is not happy right now. Only probably not surprisingly.]

Sure, or we can start tunneling.

[Sigh.]

Hear from anyone who is still out here that might be better-equipped?

[onset]

Suggestions?

[as_damaged]

Unfortunately, this isn't my forte. I'd like to think there's some way to negotiate, but the Deities aren't exactly friendly, in general.

[onset]

I wouldn't know, unfortunately. Or fortunately.

[as_damaged]

Fortunately, probably. I don't think I've ever had to trade anything... I can't imagine what they'd ask for to let people go.

[anunluckypenny]

If you have any ideas, I'd be game.

[as_damaged]

I wonder if there's anyone in charge there.

[anunluckypenny]

Like a head ghoul? I don't know. I'd guess that the deities're controlling everything somehow.

[as_damaged]

I'm not sure. You'd think they'd need someone-- or something-- intelligent, to keep track of it all.

[monochrome_mirror]

Unfortunately, my magic won't work so well against the non-sentient guards. I still have some power, but I do best against conscious beings.

I would attempt to free certainly the innocent.

[as_damaged]

Under the circumstances I think it's more a matter of being humane than of separating the guilty from the innocent.

[monochrome_mirror]

...Perhaps, yes. I must learn more about the conditions of the prison...or I would if we had time. I get the sense that things in the City are done on a rush order, and I am not so used to moving so quickly.

[as_damaged]

Honestly, this has gone on longer than most situations we encounter here.

If someone can get me my big fusion cannon back -- it's inside -- I can blow the snot out of some guards! I just...I got jumped. That's why I'm in here...but they forgot to take this thing away from me.

C'mon, let's bust some people out!

voice;

[as_damaged]

I'm not sure I know what that is.

voice;

[thermonuclear_birdbrain]

It's what it sounds like! It's a cannon that shoots fusion fire and burns up just about anything that isn't me and is standing in front of it. I bet I can blast those zombie things to hell and back if I had that again...

voice;

[as_damaged]

That sounds like it would be just as dangerous to those who've been imprisoned.

[vicodincrutch]

Yes, lament the less fortunate. Please.

[as_damaged]

Sorry, I know how you hate it when people give a damn about others' quality of life.

[vicodincrutch]

This time I'm serious.

[as_damaged]

Sometimes things aren't about you.

[Except that this is.]
