A question for the Chosen: why have you not banded together already? Some arrivals go back to almost a year, and yet you're still here. You're not without skill. There are summoners, magic users, and bomb makers in this city. Directed efforts could surely overpower our captors if there was direction.

Possibly there are those who want to stay here. Those who are dead in the world that they come from. But what of the ones who want to go home? What do they say? Are they just content to live their lives here while they have unfinished business at home?

It's possible that some of the lack of action is complacency. But others... may be a lack of leadership. Instead of waiting around for someone to save you, have you considered that you might be able to take charge of your situation? What holds you back? The Council? Jerry? That is one man, and an entity that we haven't seen thus far.

For now, it's food for thought. But I'd be interested to know who would actually be interested in leaving this place, instead of playing house in a world that dictates their actions. For those who may want to stay... what would life be like without the "Council" watching your every move?

We're both covered in it. You're not an exception.

[it's not said with any sort of malice... just Lelouch stating a fact.]

If my absence is noted there, then I won't be able to finish what I've started. But we don't have to worry about it right now, because we have a long road ahead of us before then.

[they don't really know anything about this place, still.]

[Rolo's frustrated frown only deepens. He wants to keep arguing it, and there's plenty he could say. But is there even any point? Lelouch seems stubbornly, stupidly set on this, and neither logic nor emotional appeals made a dent in that conviction. What else can he do to prevent his brother from throwing his life away so pointlessly?

(He could subtly sabotage Lelouch's efforts in getting back. That's a tempting option.)

His jaw tightens as he gives Lelouch a long look, until he finally turns away without responding, returning to sit on the bed and picking his tablet back up. Somehow, it doesn't feel like backing down. There's a weight in that silence that says this isn't settled.]

[even though he can't really say he knows Rolo like the back of his hand, he feels like he knows how to read the silence here. and it's not like he would think Rolo would be beyond sabotaging him, either.

it was just something he'd have to keep monitoring.

as for making a comment about what Rolo was doing or something of that nature... he doesn't. he just goes back to antagonizing adults and teenagers over the internet.]
