possibly looking at entranceway, canon penny dreadful

[inefficacy]

Some may consider a place like that a blessing, a relief from the mundane and dreary events of their normal lives. They are provided for, given food and shelter, bundled together with those who find themselves in similar positions. I see it for what it is, a gilded cage.

"Come, let's away to prison;
We two alone will sing like birds I' th' cage."

Because if father even thinks for one moment that a new world will stop me in my pursuit, then he will be sorely mistaken.

Who knows, maybe there's a hidden secret beneath that place.

ethaaaaan ♥

[inefficacy]

You mean like a basement, where they hide all their monsters of course.

such a warm welcome ♥

[holdsoutfordignity]

You could say that. Ya could also say that it's like wolf in a sheep's skin.

i apologize for the lack of icons, busy weekend

[inefficacy]

Clothing. And I would go so far as to say any place that requires hostages over a long period of time is the epitome of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

No need to apologize!

[holdsoutfordignity]

Well if that's how ya wanna put it. 'Sides, I'd think it obvious on account of the fact that those folks there would be losin' their memories.

[inefficacy]

Well of course it's obvious, anyone with a pair of eyes can see just that much. However, there are always those who are more simple-minded, unable to see further than their own noses as they allow the distorted truths to be force fed to them. They don't question it, they just live out their own pathetic existences without so much as a murmur.

[holdsoutfordignity]

Sometimes folks prefer illusions to real life. An illusion can be more favorable to what one normally experiences at home.

[inefficacy]

Fanatics have their dreams, of course. Though illusions and dreams make men weak, they make them yearn for what they can never have. Pointless and lethal.

[holdsoutfordignity]

Mayhaps, but mayhaps it also gives men strength to reach it. Kinda like how you don't wanna go.

[Ethan you sweet summer child.]

I am not optimistic or naive enough to believe for one second that my mundane will not send me. They are wont to do whatever they wish, feelings and dreams do not come into the arrangement.

[Nope. He really doesn't want to go, but hell, if he's going then Caliban is going to take full advantage of it.]

[holdsoutfordignity]

[Well that beard of his is very silken and fluffy... It helps add to his sweetness.]

Sure don't stop ya from dreaming about not goin'. People can't help it.

[inefficacy]

[It must be the beard.... it explains everything.]

Do not presume to place your own experiences upon me, you will quickly find they do not fit the stereotypical mold you would come to expect.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[It always explains everything. Vampires bugging you? It's the beard. Your daughter is possessed? The beard.]

So far you're fitting quite nicely.

[inefficacy]

[If it's shaved off...probably the apocalypse.]

[.....Wait, what?

Does not compute.

Fitting.....in?]

Excuse me? Your attempt at humor is borderline terrible.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[Its what kicked off the series after all.]

Good thing I ain't attemptin' humor then.

[inefficacy]

[Okay that's it. No-one touches the beard.]

Go on then, explain yourself.

[holdsoutfordignity]

[That would be wise.]

For all of you're thunder, ya sure are a talkative type when a fella gets ya started. I'd also take it that you're a broodin' type.

Will a change of scenery bring peace? Perhaps, the cage lies beneath the skin.

[inefficacy]

Temporarily, for those who cannot recognize what their surroundings truly are. Those who are caged within? Perhaps it will be a worthy distraction.

[vakna]

Do you look for a reprieve from yourself? You seem charged with purpose.
