Round 4: confessions camera

[foundationmods]

This is where you can post anything your character says in the confessions camera room. The room is soundproof, and nobody on-site will be able to see or hear anything they say in there. Everyone outside of the site will see what is said, though.

We're keeping this post unlocked so everyone can see, since previous round characters will be able to see anything said here. Just remember that stuff mentioned in here won't be known to characters participating in the round unless the character tells someone about it outside of the confession room.

Akira Confessions

Week 2, Monday

[overconfidant]

Hello, viewing not-so-public. To the Foundation overseers, my formal complaint about all this is going in as soon as I'm out of this place. And I will get out. You can count on it.

As for the other people I'm sure are seeing this, I hope last week's lack of death made this a little easier for you.

We can do this.

I don't want any of us to die here. Dazai said the ones with the most determination would win. And when it comes to the bigger game of us vs the people that want us dead? I'm really fucking determined to survive.

And Yoshi, don't fry your brain trying to help. You need it.

Week 3 Wednesday after game

[Akira's eyes are red and swollen but dry now. He sits quietly in the booth for a moment before speaking, rubbing a hand against the back of his neck.]

I should have done this earlier like I meant to. My head would be clearer.

I don't know if they're just going to edit this out, but I'm going to try anyway.

It's not hard to guess a lot of you watching aren't 6350s. And I already knew what most of the Foundation thinks of us. 'Cartoon Heroes', right? We aren't real, we aren't people, we can be brought back from death over and over.

...have you ever thought about what it's like to die? Not to be dead, but to die. To die horribly, in agony, as many times as the Foundation decides we're worth keeping. We're real enough that we hurt and bleed and scar and get scared.

Goro was scared. I know him. I love him. He didn't want to die and he was afraid.

I didn't want him to die and it hurts. It hurts so much.

[Akira stops and takes a deep breath, hands hiding his face for a moment before coming down.]

Maybe the worlds we came from are just shows and video games here. But we are here now. Living in this world. Just like the rest of you.

And before you judge us, maybe you should think about what you would do, if you were here, going through this. Because this is the sort of shit designed to break people.

And we're people, too.

Week 4, Saturday

[Akira just sits in silence for a long time before finally speaking.]

What's the point of being empowered by relationships with others when that power can't keep any of them with you?
