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?

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.]

A barge where they seek redemption rather than corruption.

It sounds almost too good to be true.

I am sad, but well.

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.

I do not want to think on that, Lord Rassilon, if we think like that then we're going to drive ourselves crazy.

But perhaps it's possible to go home with them, to figure something that would allow us to do so.

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

Perhaps... But if the Chronarch's right, the two... possibilities should never meat.

Well, however things will go, I am confident that we shall be free some day!

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

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

Be confident in that.

Are you trying to get yourself tortured?

Private

[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?

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

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

We will. Sooner rather than later, I really do believe that.

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

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

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Does it matter in your eyes?

Private

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Where is he? I will help him.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

Yes. ...Shall I tell you a secret? Something to cheer you up? [Do need cheering up?]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

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

Are you going to torture me too?

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I would like to hear a happy secret, yes. [She does. Sirius graduated.]

Private

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

[The relief it's strong.] Level five, room eight. Never leaves if he can help it.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

[He smiles widely.] I am engaged. [That's happy, right?]

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

That's wonderful! I'm so glad for you!

Private

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

Will he come to my cabin now? I will hide him.

[Private]

[shortsghtedlove.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Omega asked me yesterday.

[Private]

[persephonepearl.livejournal.com]

I am so pleased to hear that! A bit of light in the darkness!

Yes. Don't forget, my dear, we may suffer losses, but we gain also. And as much as it pains me to see that the wardens are still successful to some, I am sure things will turn out well.
