Everyone got the same call-- and now we're all stuck in HQ with no hint of release in sight.

The reason? No one knows.

How are you coping?

Ours too. [Luci looks down at the bar, hard.]

Part of me says to leave it alone, the other part of me thinks that first part is some kind of weird, reasonable doppelganger.

[He laughs a little, but. After being hauled up to Lesedi's office, he really feels like he needs to leave this thing alone. And that's... It doesn't feel like him.]

Which part's louder?

[The reasonable side seems to be winning for him.]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

The part that says to leave it alone.

[She drops her forehead into her hand.]

It just feels wrong. Or at least disjointed. I'm leading us all into rebellion against Predator, but I can't do shit against whoever's responsible for essentially doing the same thing Predator did? Minus the handcuffs and crazy Rube Goldberg death machines? The hell is wrong with me?

[traumatizing]

Yeah. [He frowns into his drink.] It doesn't feel like me either.

[It's wrong. So much of this is wrong.]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

But what do we do about it? That's the worst part-- we can't just make ourselves feel differently, and if we don't know what's causing it we have nothing to push against.

[traumatizing]

Maybe we're getting old.

[He scoffs at his own joke, but he's got no better answers.]
