Didn't we just do this last week?

[perpend]

[It's starting to look like this is going to be a weekly occurrence.

Just like last week, Cabanela waits a while before he makes his rounds, writing everyone quick notes and sliding them under each occupied door.]

Stay strong.
If you don't want to be alone tonight, meet in the dining hall.
-Cabanela

[Like last week, Cabanela hasn't bothered to provide anyone with food-- that would just be... rude right now, he thinks. Upon first entering, you'll notice that there are now four lit candles in the center of one of the tables.

Feel free to leave mementos for the dead; it's probably appreciated.]

Pretty much all Altered are considered criminals, back home. But -

[ The thing is, he kind of missed the point again. ]

- Luna and I, I don't think they're entirely wrong to classify us like that. We've made...mistakes. [ A shrug. ] As to the rest of it, it bein' run like that - I guess the general idea was "ship 'em all off to where they can't bug the rest of the world"?

But it ain't right! Why can't there be some kinda peace treaty between you and the regular humans, if they have a problem with you that much? Don't they got those juvenile prisons they can take you instead?!

[Why is Earth so messed up?!]

They gotta know that's not gonna work at all. Someday, you're all gonna break out and start your own country, that's how it works, sometimes with a bit of riotin' and violence, but it'll happen. That's how the Robot Wars turned out, and they got their rights thanks to that.

I don't know. I know they tried - I mean, there was a group tryin' to sort things out a while back. I don't remember the name. They got sold out, though, and a few of the Altered kids were killed and no one's ever really tried since. If you get found out, you get sent to Area D.

[ but MORDECAI ISN'T WRONG although he's off a bit. past her canon point, they may or may not take over area d and declare it a nation of altered...because that's going to end well...sol and luna are more resistance-aligned than aligned with that, though. ]

It's been workin' for them so far. Probably because we're not as unified as we could be, but also...I don't think a lot of us want that. I mean - Asura wants a safe place for the women. Who the fuck knows what Kidou wants...Luna and Goz and I just want to help the people who can't help themselves. But there are...other factions, besides the South and East and West.
