188. Captivity Meme!

[this_time_i_win]

THE CAPTIVITY MEMEYou've been captured - or maybe you've been held captive for a while now. Whatever the case, you've lost your freedom, and there's a specific person responsible for that. You might be a prisoner, a mental patient, a kidnap victim, or someone's pet. Maybe you're there willingly, or maybe the choice has been taken away from you

[She sits by the cage and waves the fake mustache in front of his face.] Idiot.

Are you ready to come out and behave now?

[werewolf_hacker]

[He's jammed against the back of the cage. The lights are too bright and everything has a slightly surreal edge.] Well, I don't know. Are your so-called friends gonna keep having their brand of fun with me?

[rebelle_elle]

Probably. [She shrugs.] It's what they do, Ben.

I told you not to follow me, didn't I? It's like you were asking for this.

[werewolf_hacker]

Of course I followed you. I was worried. These people are killers, Elle. They're going to hurt you eventually.

[rebelle_elle]

[She tsks.] Ben. The only reason I'm not hurt right now is because they're counting on you performing. So long as you do what they want, they'll let me live.

[She drops to her knees so she can meet his eyes. It's not the largest of cages.] Can you do that for me, Ben?

[werewolf_hacker]

That depends. [He swallows hard.] What do they want me to do? [He failed Prissy, and she died because of it. He doesn't know if he can go through that again.]

[rebelle_elle]

Just fight. They know you can't kill an angel. [She pushes her hand through the bars and strokes his shoulder.] And try not to die, but that's mostly me.

There's a another problem, Ben. They got your angels.

[werewolf_hacker]

[He chokes.] They did what? How? They can't-- [He makes a wild grab for her arm.] They can't make them fight. Can't.

[rebelle_elle]

I convinced them not to. But only if you do. [She clutches his hand.] Ben. You have to fight Tziporel. It's that or they throw Guri into a death match.

[werewolf_hacker]

[Blank horror. He recoils hard against the back corner of the cage with his arms over his head.] Tziporel's a baby. I can't--

Elle, you have to convince them that this is a terrible idea. Have to.

[rebelle_elle]

I tried, Ben! This was the best I could do! At least it's not someone in your Pack, right?

Ben, if you don't, they'll kill us all!

...Okay, captcha is seriously annoying. I'm tempted to move our business.

[werewolf_hacker]

But. [He shakes his head.] Tziporel is Pack. He can talk to Zev, and Zev can talk to him.

I can't, Elle. I can't fight a little kid.

Same here. Bleh.

[rebelle_elle]

Then you'll have to watch everyone else die, and they'll just make someone else hurt Tziporel.

Re: Same here. Bleh.

[werewolf_hacker]

Consider it moved.
