Sooooo.

Here's a bit of an awkward question:

How many of you guys have someone you don't exactly like holed up in one of those pods? And I don't just mean like "wow that guy's a dick" I'm talking more along the lines of "this guy is a GIANT dick and he will definitely try to kill us [ read: him ] when he wakes up."

Is there any way to...I don't know, pull the plug out of the pods? or something? Do you think we'd get in trouble for that?

[ A little casual accidentally-on-purpose murder never hurt anyone right? Like especially when it's for the greater good, which this totally is. ]

Ways to humiliate and demean us, I expect. It would explain the tacky robes from before.

[rhygret]

Those things were a literal fashion Nightmare. You wouldn't catch me dead wearing one of those things.

[tummyflowers]

I'd even hate being caught alive in one, if we're being honest.
Though maybe better than being in one of those pods.

[rhygret]

I don't know, it depends on how long I'd have to wear it. And who'd seen me in it. Might be worth it to stay frozen.

[tummyflowers]

I can respect that. Apropos of nothing, who is it you want to see the plug pulled?

[rhygret]

Oh, you know.

A megalomaniacal, psycopathic dictator.

The usual.

[tummyflowers]

[Oh no. This sounds dangerously like Richard.]

Well... he can't be all that bad, right? He's probably just misunderstood.

[rhygret]

He wanted to shove a metal skeleton inside my body and wear me like a meat suit.

[tummyflowers]

Wait. What would happen to your old skeleton?

[rhygret]

Nothing! My skeleton is perfectly fine. All pieces where they need to be.

[tummyflowers]

Two skeletons does seem like it would be a bit crowded. Are you sure he wasn't doing this to make you stronger? For instance, I make my guards wear metal armor all the time. If I could get them metal skeletons, I might just do that. A little bonus, really.

[rhygret]

You realize that when you remove someone's ENTIRE SKELETON they die right?

[tummyflowers]

I mean, maybe. It's not like I go around removing people's skeletons all the time. What do you take me for?

[rhygret]

A guy who doesn't know how bodies work...?

[tummyflowers]

Well I'm certainly no witch, either.

[rhygret]

What do witches have to do with anything??

[tummyflowers]

Because that's the sort of thing witches do???

[why does he have to explain such a simple concept?]

[rhygret]

Witch do not stick metal skeletons in people! They're all about magic and brooms and stuff, not tech.

[tummyflowers]

Hm. That's a good point. Plus, they don't care for iron.

[rhygret]

I
What
???????
What??

[tummyflowers]

Or is it silver? Copper maybe?

I could have sworn it was iron.

[rhygret]

Where are you even FROM that is so not a thing!

[tummyflowers]

England?

[No, it really is a question for him and not a passive aggressive sarcastic answer, but text does not give a clear picture of which of the two he means.]

[rhygret]

[ It's okay... Any other time Rhys would consider it sarcastic, but considering the circumstances and the absolute nonsense coming out of this guys' mouth so far, Rhys assumes it;s as weird...inter-dimensional culture clusterfuck. ]

And that's...what a planet? System?

[tummyflowers]

It's an island.
