Explain to me. I'm curious.

We have always been prisoners here. We have always been used. We have never been people in our captors' eyes. We have known that experience doesn't matter; they'd send any of us to die.

How many times will you plead with them? Do you enjoy it? They'll never listen.

Why is this not prepared for? We can ensure the safety of our fellows - all of us. If another cannot fight, they must be defended. They are not liabilities; they are cooks, healers, couriers, watchmen. They are the people that keep soldiers alive. Your begging only scares someone already at the mercy of another. It will not save them. You could, if you would turn that energy to providing for their protection.

If you will not, I will. We must help each other.

Who among the drafted cannot fight, and is alone? What skills do you have?

Who will defend these people? It will be the most important job of all.

Organize yourselves here. If you can't find someone to partner with, I will help. I'm not going, but I will not let others go undefended.

(OOC: this post is for everyone; respond to each other and threadjack at will!)
