[ VIDEO / killed the radio star ]

[ Arthur is seated on the crumbled base of a statue, one leg drawn up and his chin on his hands on his knee. It's grey with pre-dawn; the fire that's lit just offscreen casts golden shadows over his features. ]

[ He is pensive and silent for just long enough that this could be an accidental piece of video - but then he yawns, stretches his arms ( Read more... )

Have you any particular thing in mind?

[ Voice ] supercilious December 7 2009, 10:07:59 UTC

Not particularly. It doesn't even have to be true.

[Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl December 7 2009, 10:14:01 UTC

Is there any specific reason for the request?

[A small laugh.]

You could say I'm buying time while I try to remember my folklore.

[ Voice ] supercilious December 7 2009, 10:21:36 UTC

I'd like to learn more about the people here. Knowing only my world and my time is beginning to feel limiting. And to be honest, I'm bored.

[Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl December 7 2009, 10:50:55 UTC

An admirable goal, I think.

Well. In that case, I may try for a more literal approach.

On my world, the country of my origin was nearly destroyed by an earthquake some years ago. In the wake of it, things have... changed. One of the biggest changes could be termed the commercialization of prisons.

The one I'm thinking of is called Deadman Wonderland. A prison, and a carnival. The prisoners are used as free labor, and as entertainers.

It can be a rather cruel place, though of course some believe its cruelty to be justice.

[ Voice ] supercilious December 7 2009, 11:12:02 UTC

I've never heard such a thing, nor seen a carnival, but I know well that justice can serve as entertainment.

Have you been there?

[Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl December 7 2009, 11:16:09 UTC

I've seen it, yes.

[ Voice ] supercilious December 7 2009, 11:21:04 UTC

Should I be asking if it was as a prisoner?

[Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl December 7 2009, 11:31:10 UTC

That depends. Do you think it's polite to ask something like that?

[ Voice ] supercilious December 7 2009, 11:50:51 UTC

Would I care about being polite to a criminal? But you're right, as you were kind enough to share a story in the first place, I'll refrain.

[Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl December 7 2009, 18:18:59 UTC

Mm. Besides, wouldn't that depend on the infraction?

[ Voice ] supercilious December 7 2009, 18:34:01 UTC

It would depend on any number of things, I suppose.

[Synthetic Voice ] internecineowl December 7 2009, 18:38:00 UTC

Indeed.

Really, it's been my experience that the world is not... full to bursting with justice. But I suppose that's another story, too.

[ Voice ] supercilious December 7 2009, 18:45:42 UTC

Truly? Perhaps not in this world, or in yours. You are not limited to merely one, if you wish to share it.
