We were brainwashed. Overwhelmed with fear when we went to try to leave, beaten if we objected to interrogation, violent when they released us from it, and then some of us turned that on our rescuers.
[ helplessness. that's the overwhelming feeling. ]
i know people who should have decked a whole squad of kidnappers mortals and magic sorts and all reckon they were highly skilled and had some kind of blocker like how you can jam signals, y'know? but for superpowers
[ after all, if there's magic that can probide and share powers in wyver, why wouldn't there be the obverse? ]
Yeah, I had a cuff. Kinda like something I've seen back home. It was enchanted by dark magic there, so I can assume whatever they did to it was the same or worse.
[ and the same or worse than Pan's dark magic means they're all screwed.]
[ it's good advice. very dad-like, in his estimation, not that he has much to go on. it's the sort of thing he could imagine his dad saying, even though he never really knew the man.
he doesn't know how to reply to it, so he doesn't say anything at all. ]
really?? then we ought to schedule lunch asap. jb hasn't seen another dog in ages! what kind of dog? does he have magic powers?
Works for me, sounds like we both have too much free time on our hands right now. Might as well use it to keep the dogs social. Technically, a puppy. Best guess is Chance is an English shepherd. Hoping he doesn't have magic because it wouldn't take much for him to surpass me in abilities, and I don't need him taking over.

most people had it worse though.
you alright?
no subject
[ since they're being honest.]
Like you said, most people had it worse.
Were your injuries inflicted by the captors or the captives?

i get it if you don't wanna say

no subject
that's such shit
are you recovering okay?
[ from injuries or, worse, death? ]
no subject
[ not really injured, and she made it out alive - just traumatized.]
But the power involved in something like that is something I keep thinking about. I should have been able to hold my own.
