You don't need to do this. I have been on both sides, and you do not need to let this happen to you. Don't give in.

[Inmates, and those odd wardens who've been acting out in entries. If you think you're on it, you are]

Visitors. What are you? Where are you from? Does anyone know? Does anyone remember?

I wish to help you.

We are not animals and we do not need to be.

[Private to Sirius]

Come see me.

They say they are from another Barge. A better Barge. One where they seek redemption instead of corruption.

How I wish we could abandon this ship for that one.

Are you well?

A barge where they seek redemption rather than corruption.

It sounds almost too good to be true.

I am sad, but well.

I keep thinking that if all the inmates traded places between Barges, everyone would essentially get what they wanted.

Wishful fancy, I know.

What may I do for you?

Well spoken, Persephone.

And I wonder how their reality is. And if there is a counterpart for me also. [A good one? But he doesn't have much hope.]

Thank you, Lord Rassilon.

I have heard they seek redemption on the other barge. Perhaps we are the wardens there. Perhaps we guide our mortals to be the best selves they can be.

Perhaps, but... Have you spoken to Lady Atia? She seems to be one of the visitors and... Well, there's also this current Kirk. He seems different. Is he reformed or...? Lady Atia, she didn't seem surprised by being an inmate, but when I mentioned that we were here for corruption... Could it be, Persephone? That the same people are still the inmates, but...

In an alternate universe, everything could be so different. We could be the ones needing to be reformed.

My lady, they'll never have as much of me as they think they do.

Be confident in that.

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am, Rhade. I just worry with each graduation...

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

Look... I uh. I have an idea. I'm thinking that we should try to get messages to ourselves. I know some of the people here, that came from that side. Maybe they can take recorded letters with them. They brought their physical forms, at least.

Are you trying to get yourself tortured?

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Does it matter in your eyes?

[Private]

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

[Silence. For a looooong stretch of time.]

I would prefer not to see you hurt.

[Slater's voice is shaky.] Listen, love, I'm fine. The other place is fine. All I gotta do is wait this out an' I'm hunky dory. But the me that was brought here? He's… he… he needs your help. He does. He's Loki's inmate an'… and he needs help! He can't even be corrupted, ok? He's… we've got a line, all right? An' even if that line could get broke, this guy… he's gonna get broken long before.

I'm ok, but just… just 'elp him, ok? Please! Please, just help him?

Private

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Where is he? I will help him.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

But Persephone, my dear, I like doing this! These mortals, these inmates deserve to be tortured and punished. After all, I am their god.

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Loki, they do not deserve this. No one deserves this.

Are you going to torture me too?

[with_discipline]

Not mine. [All the scorn.]

[acid_rayne]

Do what?

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Be like this. You do not need to be animals.

After what you did to the rest of us?

I think not...

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about, Atia?

[Private]

[with_discipline]

Subtlety may be of use to you, Persephone.

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Perhaps. I see no use to it when Biff may take my journal, or another warden might take theirs.

We want to help you, yes. In fact, we want your help, too. We're going to make sure that if you've turned to the Light you'll never have to go back to being evil again.

Arthas, we cannot promise them that. They need to make the decisions themselves.
