Well yes, that goes without saying. I doubt any of us are going to just stop looking around just because of a tiny setback.

[ being arrested isn't exactly tiny, but okay. ]

Do with feeling. And a healthy dose of spite.

[ … ]

Blindly following what you’ve been told isn’t a good thing. They can’t expect us to not do a little digging — but we should be careful, precisely because of that.

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.
resumed: (neutral ♕ seriously?)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-26 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
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?

[personal profile] ballies 2023-09-26 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
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.
resumed: (neutral ♕ seriously?)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-26 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
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.

[personal profile] ballies 2023-09-26 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
… Considering we have profiles and everything, you’d think the police would be better informed.

[ she’s just insulting them while in the prison, nbd. ]
resumed: (closed ♕ I don't want to talk about it)

Not if they were looking for an excuse. [ nyeh. ]

And here I thought we were supposed to be put on a pedestal.

Juuust like modern day social media. It really is a virus.
resumed: (calm ♕ #justghostkingthings)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-27 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ he's nodding because he actually doesn't know that much about social media itself other than it exists and there are apps. ]

Then guess our next step is to figure out how to eradicate it.

… The entire hero system?
resumed: (unsure ♕ /raises eyebrow)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-27 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
At least the system here. If they want us to take responsibility for things that happen to heroes in training, why not start there?
ballies: (056)

[personal profile] ballies 2023-09-27 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Dismantling something like that’s not going to be easy. But it does sound kinda fun.
resumed: (smile ♕ devious)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-27 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
A good challenge? Let's say for...I dunno. Seven weeks. What do you think?
ballies: (089)

[personal profile] ballies 2023-09-27 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
Make it quicker. I don’t like the idea of this happening again — the sooner it’s down, the less chance there is of something we can’t control happening again.
resumed: (closed ♕ I don't want to talk about it)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-27 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
None of us like that it's happening, and if we could dismantle everything tomorrow we all would. [ he is prepping for the worst case scenario. ] We need to know more about why we're all really here if this is how they're going to respond to us.
ballies: (039)

[personal profile] ballies 2023-09-27 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s the main part. Knowledge, information. We can’t act without it.
resumed: (neutral ♕ listening)

[personal profile] resumed 2023-09-28 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Then we go back out there and try researching again. Maybe now that it's been a little time, we'll find something more useful.
