On Another Month in Prison

[didnazithatcoming]

Zhis is ridiculous. You shoot at vun little police officer, blow up a tank, kidnap two vorthless, no-name creatures, und zuddenly everyvun vants to keep you in prison for life! At zer very least you could have let me killed vun of zheir number, Mun! Zhis constant imprisonment is not acceptable; Millennium operatives are not prisoners of var!

I cannot remain here a minute longer. Eizher allow me to escape or let me shoot a policeman zo zhat zhey vill kill me und let me get on vith my life. It is humiliating, being zer caged pet of a verevolf und a Jew. How am I expected to be a fully loyal lieutenant, prepare zhis city for zer arrival of my battalion vhen I am rotting avay in a cell?

Und it has nozhing to do vith your zo-called fear of isolation.

[challengethegods]

You're actually suffering consequences for shooting at people?

I like this place.

[didnazithatcoming]

Two months, und going on a zhird.

I am not happy.

[challengethegods]

Maybe you should stop shooting people.

[didnazithatcoming]

I shot at people. I missed on purpose. I do not zee vhot is zer point of punishing my bad behavior - vhich is not even zo terrible! - vhen you are living in a city of sin.

[challengethegods]

[She's looking up what "sin" is. It's one of those really antiquated, meaningless words.]

Oh. Yeah, that seems kind of weird.

[didnazithatcoming]

Zhis place is a valking contradiction.

Und I do not appreciate zer fact zhat I am getting a raw deal because of vhot I am. Zhere vas a creature a month into my arrival who destroyed a good zhird of zer entire city. He is not zitting in zhis jail bezide me.

Technicalities, Tally. Technicalities, idealogies...I zuppose it does not help zhat none of zer handful of police essential in my capture all have zheir personal reasons for despising Nazis.

[challengethegods]

In fairness, something that would destroy that much of a city would be kind of hard to contain, right? At least, not without the resources we're used to.

[didnazithatcoming]

I admit I am not vell-versed in his zpecific case. But he is no longer a monzter, like I am.


...Zhey have taken my gun. It is probably in pieces now. Zhey have taken everyzhing.

[challengethegods]

...you could come back to Nautilus. You could get everything back.

[didnazithatcoming]

Zhere is no vun vaiting for me in Nautilus.

Bezides; better to be free und in Hell zhan a zlave of Heaven.

[challengethegods]

Did you really feel like a slave?

[didnazithatcoming]

Often to my own zentiments, yes. It vas terrifying.

[challengethegods]

What was so terrifying about it?

[didnazithatcoming]

Discovering I had zer heart of a traitor, for vun zhing. In Bete Noire, zhat is not a likely possibility; I can remain loyal forever because zhey make it much, much easier to hate.

[challengethegods]

That's called being human. Also having a conscience.

[didnazithatcoming]

I know. It is an incredibly irritating distraction. I hope never to encounter it again.

[challengethegods]

[Facepalm]

I forget there are people who didn't actively seek out that feeling.

[didnazithatcoming]

Tally, how can you ever be a good hunter if you begin to empazhize vith your prey? It is better for my army und it is better for me zhat I forever remain a monzter.

I like my role. Zer vorld needs monzters.

[challengethegods]

I don't intend to be a hunter any more. I never wanted the role in the first place.

And that "world needs monsters" crap is what Leslie was trying to pull, too. I don't buy it.

[didnazithatcoming]

It is a running zheme vith our mun. Leslie liked it because it afforded him an excuse. I like it because it gives me a purpose. I ztop becoming a perzon, und I become a zymbol. I am a little black svastika on zer map of history.

[challengethegods]

How poetic.

[didnazithatcoming]

Zhank you.


Und now is zer problem of getting out of prison before I am broken completely.

[challengethegods]

You've survived worse.

[didnazithatcoming]

Have I?

[viraltentacles]

Hell comes in many forms. I'm guessing your mun's entertainment is going to be yours.

[didnazithatcoming]

How can watching a zoldier rot in prison for months possibly bring her entertainment?

[viraltentacles]

Because it's you. As well as your karma acting against you.

[didnazithatcoming]

Karma.

Zo I am being played as zomevun to punish?


Perhaps it is time I investigated new muns.

[viraltentacles]

All are going to be the same you know.

[didnazithatcoming]

I find zhat hard to believe. Perhaps zhere are a handful zhat exist who vill not call me out of my zervice in order to extract justice, und who vill inztead play me as I vish to be played.

[viraltentacles]

No, they'll only play you as they want to. Humans are selfish like that.

[didnazithatcoming]

Zhen I vill find a mun whose interests align vith my own.

[viraltentacles]

Once again, humans are rather selfish. Most won't.

[didnazithatcoming]

Zo zelfish zhey vill not allow me to hunt as I please?

[viraltentacles]

Yes, though I'm guessing that you are rather selfish yourself.

[didnazithatcoming]

Very! Und I did not even have to be human to accomplish it.

[viraltentacles]

Then you deserve to be played by a selfish person.

[didnazithatcoming]

It is a shame neizher of us vill ever get vhot ve vant from zer ozher.

[viraltentacles]

Your mun will get exactly what they want from you...I'm guessing that it's already happening.

[didnazithatcoming]

I vill fight her at every turn.

[viraltentacles]

Good luck with that.

[challengethegods]

I would say that the threat of being erased from existence entirely and also watching all your fr-- comrades die or go back to Sleep is a lot worse than rotting in jail.

...But to you, maybe it isn't.

[didnazithatcoming]

As far as you know, my Nautilus und Bete Noire zelves are two completely different people vith completely different zets of fears.

[challengethegods]

Oh. I wasn't sure if you'd..."kept your CR", as my mun is calling it.

[didnazithatcoming]

I did not.

Vhich is vhy Tony murdered me after I kidnapped him.

[challengethegods]

[Facepalm again]

And why did you kidnap him?

[didnazithatcoming]

Zeveral reasons. Mainly I vanted his assistance in helping me build a base for my army, but he vas alzo zer employer of my first kidnapped victim zo zhat I could play vun off zer ozher.

Alzo he has been here a conziderably long time. I vas interrogating him as to zer nature of Bete Noire.

[challengethegods]

[Multiple kidnappings? For the love of...]

Okay, I'm liking this "City of Sin" less and less.

[didnazithatcoming]

Zhen perhaps it is best you ztay vhere you are. Go to zer nice city of change.
