☾001☽ video/action
[Yuri is seated in the kitchen of Odin House. He's made himself some tea. This particular kind of tea is not ideal, and the same can be said of the honey, which is of rather low quality, but it will have to do for now. He takes a thoughtful sip, then returns the teacup to its saucer.
He operates his bracelet with ease, beginning a video feed; he's used to similar technology, and he experimented with the device until he became proficient in its use. When he speaks, his expression is grave, his voice calm. He has himself under control now, and there's no outward sign of the anger he feels.]
My name is Yuri Petrov. I'd like to make a public statement of my dissent, though I doubt whether our captors will listen or respond.
No matter the stated aims of those who have brought us here--and those are dubious, at best--it is never acceptable to abduct people from their homes and hold them against their will without cause. It is an inhumane and insupportable act. Children have been taken from their families, and parents from their children, I'm sure. Others have been prevented from carrying out their duties, great and small. No matter the details of our lives, those lives have been disrupted. Many of us are rightfully distressed, though I have no authority to speak on behalf of others now, but speak only as myself.
In accordance with the ideals of civil disobedience, I refuse to willingly participate in this endeavor. I can never agree or cooperate with those who would subvert justice in this reprehensible fashion. However, I will do whatever I can to aid others in the same situation, and to those who feel as I do, you may consider me your ally.
[Well, he's said his piece. With that, he takes another sip of his tea.]
