The empress en route with Alternia to personally take part in his public execution on Live Television to provide a message to any remaining rebellion members..”

You had been walking down the street to rendezvous with a Mr. Cronus Ampora to discuss.. to discuss.. You can’t even remember. Everything on that Day was a blur to you now, everything else however- was not. One minute you are darting down alleys and weaving through streets and the next minute your mouth is covered and you’re being electrocuted in your side. You felt all of your hair stand on end the second between the tazer meeting your side and the second following where you fell unconscious. When you awoke you were cuffed and bound in a prison cell far too small for your comfort. Across the way you recognized a familiar face, one of your peers unconscious on the floor. You tried to call out but you came to the realization that you were gagged as well. Your outcry was muffled and spittle dripped down your chin as you squirmed and got yourself upright. You growl and hiss at any sound that echos in halls.

Three Days Seven Hours and Fifty Two Minutes, you counted every minute that you were trapped in that cell. You counted every time you screamed to the best of your ability, cried, clawed at your own skin, bled, wanted to throw up, and cursed everyone and everything around you. You’ll tally them down:

You screamed 192 times.

You cried 1 time.

You clawed at your palms endlessly.

You bled from those scratches for 1 hour in a whole.

You wanted to throw up 7 times.

You were still cursing everyone around you.

You slept 0 hours.

Your vision snapped to the sound of a bang distantly, you wearily creak your head towards the direction of the sound that you just heard, leaning your head against the wall behind you and staring at the corner where the door and the wall met. You heard another bang and some popping following, then everything felt hot for just a moment and you were out again. When you awoke again you were covered in dust, but a troll wearing a gasmask was dumping water onto your face. You were surrounded by trolls carrying weaponry and adorning masks and hoods, makeshift body armor hanging on their frames. They stared down at you like you were the sun incarnate, holy and decadent. Their eyes were wide as you tested your jaw. You were rattled suddenly by the blinding flash of an explosion nearby. You jolt upright with a sudden burst of energy and look around you, two young trolls help you to your feet and you look around you. In the time that you were out, the buildings around where you were being housed were in ruin and burning. Sirens blared in the distance and smoke danced up into the air. The moons hung overhead and made the haze dance with purple and green. You opened your mouth to say something but were met with the incessant whirring of drones overhead. You and the crowd of trolls immediately scatter, two other trolls helping you walk and keeping you sturdy. You watched in raw astonishment at the sight of a drone wailing down and crashing into buildings after suddenly being burst into flames. You continue to run, it looked like the sight of that old movie, Latula- Telula had shown you it when you were younger. Independence Day it was called, if you remember correctly. Everything was burning around you and descending into chaos.

That had been perigrees ago.

Currently, you had been Kakrir Vattos, a burgundy blood troll who worked in a factory who played with electronics on the side. You had to step up again though, and you had shed that name and disguise, your skin burnt hot with the red of iron, you were angry. You wanted to put this capitalistic society into the grave as you had already struck it in the knee for the rest of the world to see. Shocking, is what it was, really.

You open a palmhusk for the first time in what felt like sweeps, you hadn’t told anyone that you had survived.
