[ well he sure as fuck doesn't know come monday when the new rule hits.
but for now he is just. discreetly pointing at a few cops who are lingering nearby to make sure the new heroes in training don't get too out of hand. ]
It's better not to talk too much while we're here, but the biggest one is maybe finding a way to make sure people are back at their dorms by a certain time. If the doors lock again, that leaves us all too scattered and vulnerable otherwise.

As I do everything. [ but he's shaking his head. ]
I've never been good at following exact orders anyway. Especially when those orders aren't always right. We can't overreact yet, but...it's stupid to ignore that something is more wrong than we'd anticipated.

Of course there’s something dodgy about the place the kidnapped us and keeps giving us unlimited cash like rich parents fobbing their kids off with pocket money.
[ that’s… kinda what it’s like. ]
I would maybe say attempting a jailbreak is a really good way to get yourself on a watch list or four, but— It’s probably better not to throw hands and get ourselves slapped with a bunch of restrictions. Especially if we want to investigate without limitations.

I'm really looking at these sponsorships in a whole different way now. [ is this hush money. ]
The jailbreak was a good idea and we just...got a little tangled up. I think the leaders being the ones to arrest us is the only reason we're getting out tomorrow, so we'll see how much we'll be watched after that. [ but she has a point. ] The less suspicions on us, the better then?

Did the leaders figure out what you were doing, or did they get told to arrest you by someone “higher up”?
[ like a punishment for them too. arrest your unruly charges and throw them in jail. this is what happens when you fail to control them. ]
Always. You can’t move freely if you’re being watched. And maybe we already are being watched — there’s certainly tons of cameras everywhere at any given moment. But there’s being watched, and being watched.

...Sure. I'll keep it in mind that you want to help out.
[there's a lot you can do with intangibility. he thought about it before they learned the prison nullifies your powers, but... he didn't exactly want to involve someone his age who wasn't already involved.]

Unfortunately, given how things have already gone, one holds little faith in those in power not having their own private agendas.
[ like a smart fox, it should be noted this is murmured, so he's not shouting his views from the rooftops. otoh, it's truly hysterical trying to imagine what level of anti cop this government hired sword is. then again he's far older than the creation of the police force themselves so it's fine, probably. ]

Mm. Something to note if it were to happen again. [ not that. he's planning or expecting it. something something lightning doesn't strike twice etc. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW. ]
But I suppose I too must be grateful regardless, that it did not go poorer than it did. The mood would be much more sour after today's events.

This guy...
[he mutters that to himself audibly, because he is rude.]
I'll ask you if I ever need to learn what they're teaching nowadays. I achieved mastery years ago, but it's helpful to get back in touch with the basics.

The police called in the leaders because they assumed they were being attacked by villains. [ he seems annoyed by this. ]
I think it's pretty obvious we're being watched somehow if we had a whole database about us before we even woke up. Plus we were all introduced at that party. The whole thing had to be a set-up for being under surveillance.

[ nods! ]
And you better give me--director credit? Producer? Whichever one of those means "gave you the idea in the first place."
