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.

Suggestions?

[anunluckypenny]

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

[as_damaged]

What do you think the best course of action is?

[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.

[as_damaged]

I wonder if there's anyone in charge there.

[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.

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!

[anunluckypenny]

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

[vicodincrutch]

Yes, lament the less fortunate. Please.

[onset]

I wouldn't know, unfortunately. Or fortunately.

[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.

[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.

[as_damaged]

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

[as_damaged]

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

voice;

[as_damaged]

I'm not sure I know what that is.

[as_damaged]

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

[anunluckypenny]

Whoever's in control, someone needs to help them.

[vicodincrutch]

This time I'm serious.

[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...

[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.

[onset]

I've... met someone who traded his memory. Temporarily, from what I understood, but still.

[as_damaged]

Sometimes things aren't about you.

[Except that this is.]

voice;

[as_damaged]

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