changeitroundsome | 007 - [VIDEO] The rules of someone else's game

[As is his way, Facilier has made himself as scarce as possible on the network, while strangers filtered through in their droves. He's kept an eye on things, in case anyone he knows personally appears, threatening the very little life he's made for himself here. Luckily no one has shown, and he can breathe easily once more.

As always, he smiles amicably at the camera. Shadow, on the other hand mirrors the restlessness he's hiding, flitting back and forth around the library where Facilier has set himself up with a pile of books.]

So, that that? Our little guests have vanished into wherever they belong again? Not that they ever leave, I guess, but still. Wonder what the whole point of these little moments are? Maybe the Admiral thinks they're come kinda randomised visitation.

Anyone ever have someone they didn't want show up? Come on, don't be shy, ya'll can't have just had wanted visitors.

[Kira]

Has the boy spoken to you yet? ['The boy' being Merlin. He wants his talisman back, and he's getting antsy about it.]

[Mason]

It's done, your little...vampire deterrent. Where are you? I'll bring it by.

There's always a crop of idiots that wash in.

I did notice that. Kinda sad, if you think about it.

I've thought about it. I'm bored with it.

Can't blame you. It's the same thing, over and over again. While we just stand around waitin' for someone to decide if we're good enough people to be 'saved'.

Or if we're malleable enough to be obedient.

Some folk here are, gives the wardens ideas that we all can be.

I'm sure to some, obedience is worth its reward. Otherwise humanity would be all kings and no subjects.

Suppose you got a point. Never been one for serving, myself, and I reckon you aren't either.

Not particularly.

And yet, here we are. Stuck here.

He'll give up. Eventually.

You really think so? What would he have to gain from giving up?

...Then again what does he gain from doing any of this at all?

I think whatever it is he gains is completely irrelevant to who stays and who goes. He doesn't care.

So what's the whole point, then, do you think?

I don't know, or care.

You ain't even a little curious? Finding out could be a way outta here.

Fine. I'd care if it could get me out, but I doubt it will.

Ah, but you don't know for certain.

No.

It might be that it uses us for food.

...

Well, that's a morbid thought.

The ship is an old god, or something like it. I wouldn't put it past it.

Really?

So, when folk 'go home', they're actually just devoured?

[This. This is something he could work with. If there's one thing Facilier is good at, it's appeasing ancient forces. ]

I wouldn't go that far. I know at least a few have actually gone home.

An we can be sure of that? Could be they were just made to think they had.

Why bother?
