Must we really do this again? You recall how unhappy I was in that starship hell; how is this any different? There is no Cause, no amis, what on earth am I to even do? It will be dreadful.

--Yes, even with him! I cannot countenance it, whatever he may have done at the last. The man confounds me, and I knew he had it in him, but we do not get along and never have. So why do you insist upon it?

Do you know, we did not only do it for the poor of Paris whose wishes we apparently discarded, in spite of the July Revolution. They were a catalyst, and perhaps one that we used as the main focal point, but all of us, our band of brothers, also did it for ourselves.

I cannot say I would conduct myself much differently, as that which drove my actions was the calling of necessity, but there we are, then, aren't we? Hypocrissy, perhaps, but living in a world against the constraints of our consciences was not quite living either, was it?

...I can only hope that they, and she would not have found me lacking. I know enough that my brothers, and you, do not, and there is comfort there, no matter if it's deserved or no.

I doubt that any others understand, but then, perhaps, they were not meant to. Those who need it know enough, and perhaps that is all that matters.

You know perfectly well what you've done, Madame Mundane (No Cher for you, not now) and perfectly well why I am furious right now. Not only do you let a newcomer come in and replace me in the affections of the one person who was willing to at least pretend at liking me, you've also given other headmates, most notably your precious favorite a chance at something that was, this time, supposed to be mine, that you had promised and plan to fail on delivering because something better has come along for Enjolras, yet again.

First, I lose someone I cared about to the man who destroyed what could have been my republic, and now I lose my chance at being alive, at being real to someone who I love, even though I was supposed to go next.

But then, I'm not as real to you as they are, am I? I am not allowed that chance again while they will have many.

It is good to discover where I lay in everyone's estimation, at least, I suppose, including yours. I did think you held me in some higher regard than that, but my mistake, I suppose, anyway.

It will not be the first time I've been shoved away for something else, now will it?

I hate this and you, and that all there is for me to do is once again accept it and perhaps get ready to move on from here. No point in staying, is there?

Apparently, no longer yours,

Pest? So that's what we're callin' it these days? Well, I never. Gent like me bein' called a pest, an' to think I was honourin' you with my good company. Not that there's much to be doin' round these parts. Ain't even sure what you got planned for me. I've got things to be doin', you know. Can't be hanging around here like I've got all the time in the world.

An' who's this bloke you keep going on about? Nothin' like him. Or Sikes. Me own man, that's me. The Artful Dodger. You, though, your call me Mister Dawkins, we ain't rightly knowin' each other yet. Anyway, why would I want to get involved in some ... bloomin' revolution. Every man for himself, an' Dodger first, that's how it goes.

Anyway, it's in France. Not going there, not on your life.

So... where do we begin, eh?

First off, ye let me grow up. Now that, I'm actually alright with. Ain't like I was gonna be angry at not getting shot down - an' did ye have to keep the gettin; shot part? You do know that hurts right? A lot! Ain't complaining, but... Bloody hurts! Anyway, not what we're here for, even if I don't rightly know what's got into your mind wiv this idea.

I get past the barricades - an' nice, yknow, lettin' me see people die an' then losing me faith in any type of revolution. Fanks fer that, ain't ever sure how I'm gonna fank ya. So, get past the bloody barricades, grows up, moves ta London ta get away from France an' her bloody prison galleys... an' end up seeing a bloke what kills people so some lady c'n make pies? That other people then eat?!

...We sure this is a great idea, Mun? Only, I'm finkin' you may be a bit wrong in the 'ead...

 Okay, well - 'knocking around' makes it sound worse than it is. I didn't think I was being that loud.
 

This is alright though. Not as bad as I've heard some of the others say, at least. Unless I'm here to be proven wrong, in which case...I'll just have to hope you're feeling nice, I suppose

What's next, anyway? A game, or..?

No, truthfully, I hate you. I hate you and I have every reason to do so. You continue to force me to remain in a place where my freedom is restricted beyond any reasonable levels, when every month since this trip to the worst hell I have ever known, I have begged you to remove me from that place of suffering beyond any I have ever personally known.

I am aware that it makes me lucky to have never have known worse tortures and persecutions, but when there is an easy solution towards removing myself from it, and you refuse to let me have it, I can very safely say, Madame, that you torment and oppress me beyond any stretch of reasonable behavior. I will contend, too, that even Malicant, at the worst points of my capture, would not have sought, or loved my misery, nor caused even half as much pain or suffering towards me personally. That you continue to drool at the concept of forcing me through such a disgusting display further proves your deep disturbances and your complete lack of regard for anyone, save for your own amusement.

There can be no regard for any, male or female, adult or child, countryman or one who hails from somewhere lesser, who seeks to ravage the soul and spirit as you do, and I refuse to pay it to you just the same.

You might make me suffer the agony of having every moment monitored, of having to beg permission from my captors for each unhindered breath I take, breaths that are allowed only in minute increments and of the most shallow sort, but there are things which neither you, nor any "agent", nor Combeferre, as brainwashed as he has become, and as biased as he is in his preference toward them, can force me into doing and being and I intend to see them out, no matter what the consequences.

They may chain me up in the temple now, and may restrict my movements and my speech beyond anything reasonable, but they cannot make me eat, or sleep, or carry on supporting their oppression by "working" for them. And truthfully, I should think they will be pleased that I plan to spend my days in starring at the walls of our disgusting cell, as I will be doing exactly what they intended with their idiotic decrees of dragging me into a prison I cannot escape, which is being restricted and tortured. I do not, however, have to gift any of them with any real response.

Had I known that such a fate awaited me when you determined you were going to place me in that world of suffering and pain, I would never have agreed, for there is nothing, anywhere, and no person anywhere to make any of this worthwhile. Instead, I shall be sitting here and loathing all of you complicit in my torture for the rest of my life, or rather, death, or whatever it is, with you.

Today is your American Day of Thanks and I, most assuredly, Madame Mundane, am not thankful for you. I was, I suppose, to a point, that over in Teleios, you managed, at last, to negotiate with the moderators who play my captors to allow me to have something of my soul back.

[It was an all game event, Enjolras. Everyone in game got something and all it required was the mun telling the mods what you would like. It's not a torture chamber there. ]

I will also, no doubt, look forward to the months ahead, given the ability of expression I've had given back to me, with a real press, and a paper, and I was thankful to have found some sympathetic individuals, even a few who might become new friends there, and I do wish to speak with the Lady Jane again, and soon, and all in my life there is slowly, but rather steadily, improving, and I realize that I ought to feel some measure of gratitude towards you, and in the matter of that place I do.

But in the matter of my other world, of the Island that has been my shelter and my home, given me a daughter, the younger "siblings" that I never knew that I would like to have, and that I have been proud to defend and fight for, and even found a new career in, you have finally managed, finally managed, to use my deepest fears and regrets against me so very effectively that I have literally no idea of where to go from here, and have no desire other than to curl myself into a shaking ball for days, perhaps even a week or longer.

Trigger/Content Warnings: Torture, Zombies, Enslavement, Imprisonment. It's not a good time on the Turtle for him right now. )

I will not ask how you could do this, because I suppose by now that I know your cruelties are not reserved to those who are not me, but this is so deliberate, so terrible, and so complete that I do not know that I will function there again, though I very much wish to as the new world comes in to play. I will however ask you, yet again as many of us seem to, What In HELL Is Wrong With You?"

I simply do not...I have not... There is nothing to be done, and I will never escape him after, even if I walk from there, and I know that now. I still live with what was done to me in July of a year ago, and still have wished to die with it, and now you bring me this new, and incredibly varied, infinitely worse version of events to cope with.

So, No, Madame, I am not thankful, I am far from grateful, and you had better have a good way out of this one, I assure you, if you ever wanted my respect again.

I told you I was willing to negotiate if you would be willing to consider a reasonable course of action. You've found one at last, and, so, we have our accord:

One more month, and then we re-visit this.

I doubt that anything will change my mind, but, nonetheless, I am willing to see it out now that I know there is an end to the torture in sight.

Perhaps you are a human after all.

Then I have lost, and you have won.

I hope you will enjoy reaping all the reward of what you've sown. Thank you, for stealing, and crushing my soul so thoughtfully and thoroughly and for breaking me by sending me to the Hell I made it very clear I never wished to go to.

I give up. I give up on fighting you, fighting the world, fighting the setting, the people, and everything else in this.

You have, no doubt, awaited this for a long time, and here it is, at last. I hope that you, at least, appreciate what you have done.

-A. Enjolras

I am not sorry, and I mean every word of what I say. Things have, at least, become marginally better, but I still remain trapped in a near eternal Hell where there is no respite, where I am judged wrongly, and unfairly, and expected not only to perform, but to submit to the will of those who are wrong, who call themselves gods but make statements and allegations that are bald faced lies in nearly every instance, where they seek to turn me into nothing but a slave, and where nothing will improve from the way that it is now ever again.

You've helped enough, and Combeferre has helped enough, but this is not a world I wish to exist in, and there is nothing further in it that can move me to stay, or to behave as if I am only your performing monkey. There is nothing in the injustice, the corruption, and the lies, the insults and the perversions of everything I care for that can reconcile me to be happy, or to pretend at happiness here.

I know that you will never listen, and I will forever be trapped, because I do not dare to dream that I might be allowed to escape, but I do not have to like the fact, or anything at all about the place now that so much has changed. I request that you remove me now, but knowing that will never happen, I, at least, request that you leave me alone to die here next time I throw myself at death if you are not willing to free me through more conventional means.

I thought that we had had an understanding, and it seems I have thought wrong.

As you continue to allow this, I continue to lose respect and faith in you.

fought we'd already done that whole going to the place wot wants you to kill people fing. Aen't really looking forward to going back, but if that's wot you want, 'pect I'll have to play along again. Aen't looking forward to this. Aen't into the killing. Don't know much, but I knows that. Anyway, you never even let me get a gun last time.

'Ponine's there though, aen't she? Aen't bothered about Maman an' Papa, but you said she wos 'aving a rough time. I'll see to her, don't you worry.

Well, best be getting me best hat on then, aen't I?

Remove me from the fucking game at once. You've seen me when you force me into things I do not want to do, and I very much do not want to be there. They have tried their best to take Combeferre from me, and it has been working, might I add? ,to force me into servitude by calling themselves "gods" and passing judgment on me when they have no right, and proving, through their false charges that they disregard me and those who I am no longer with. They have taken everything that was remotely going to be good about the place from me and I will never be able to get it back.

I would rather die altogether than spend one second longer in that place. Tell them that you are too busy, and that you've decided no to dragging me through all of it. There is nothing there to make me happy since they've been allowed to take him from me and shove all of us into slavery without even allowing us to be together for one moment of the day.

I am through. And I will make your experience there miserable until you've pulled me from the game.

You ARE good.

But as you said yourself, Madame, I am far better.

You know what it is I need, and you know what it will be like until that is granted. Hard for you though it might be, please. Let me pay for what I've done, for my attempts to shirk that punishment which was my due, which I condemned myself to long ago.

In addition, it is time I made things clear to those who are left, before they vanish too. I cannot keep taking their presences for granted, as I've now come to learn, with Courfeyrac...

You must make these things happen next month or in this so things might become normal once again. I know you, and I know myself, and there is no way forward until that has happened. Understood?

Well.

You've outdone yourself this time, dear mundane.

Hunger games.

You wish for me to die, and probably painfully and terribly, while being scared out of my wits the entire time. Do you realize that I am still ill? Still ill and you are bringing me directly into such tomorrow. I am going to die. I am going to die from an acute and very painful heart attack or fit or something brought on from all of this even before I have the chance to be killed by another person. Such stress on the heart is not good for me when my cold is fast turning into bronchitis, which will not stop until I have full blown pnuemonia as it is. Even now it's getting harder to breathe at the very thought of what you'll be doing to me.

I cannot handle such excitement though I thank you for thinking of...

That's going to get me nowhere, isn't it?

Well. Let's hope I die messily and quickly before the rest of the terror sets in, shall we?

Madame Secretary,

I warned you of my objections and you did not listen.

Now, together, we are both in Hell.

Enjoy handling the consequences of your idiocy and refusal to allow me some input in the way that I conduct my life. One of us ought to do so, after all.

I must say, monsieur, your nervousness worries me. You do not think your skills are adequate? Well! I am nearly inclined to agree.

I should hope that your accomplice, that woman who would claim the right to portray my wife, will be able to procure a better set of these...icons than you have thus far. I am grateful, at least, that you do not call me by that name which you had originally intended. "Not Borat," indeed! As if that were all that needed to be said! As if I have not had enough scorn and misery heaped upon me! But you were wiser than this. Very good, monsieur, very good!

This name far better befits a man of my character and position, would you not agree?
