[Arthur's in Level 0, still in his suit (he is so not changing out of it), which has some blood on the collar. He's got a nasty gash on his temple and bruises on the side of his face. The Brothers didn't actually beat him up, so much as... he fell down the stairs while trying to evade them. He just recently woke up, so he hasn't had a chance to see who else is in Zero yet.]

Looks like our visitors are immune to bullets. Anyone tried fire yet? [He groans and rubs the back of his head gingerly.] To anyone out there, keep your head down until you've got a solid plan of action. If they haven't tailed you yet, they might leave you alone. Use that to your advantage, because my guess is we're running out of time.

[Private to Dionysus]
Check in. Now.

[Private to Mal & Ariadne]
Mal, Ariadne? Stick together and don't draw any attention to yourselves.

[Filtered to Friends (Minus Known Aztecs)]
Everyone doing okay? [LINEFACE.] Please tell me you're not down here with me.

[OOC: FEEL FREE TO SPAM IN ZERO.]

You know very well that you should not underestimate me, Arthur.

I didn't say I did. I said they did. You're surrounded by divinity that doesn't even recognize you. Doesn't that bother you?

Not at all. [It totally does. A lot. A lot a lot.]

You know they can't do anything for you, right? Even if they wanted to, which they don't.

What? What do you mean they --- of course they don't Arthur. [He's taken to this sarcasm thing.]

[LINEFACE. GOD HE HATES YOU.] I mean I'm the only one who can get you your powers back. So try not to do anything stupid with your new friends.

Keep telling yourself that, dear Arthur. While I stand free and you wait for the axe and sword.

And you keep telling yourself you're powerful while you remain the weakest person here.

Yet I am not in zero, Arthur.

Take a look around you, then look at who's been hauled to Zero. Take a minute to ask them why they picked us.

Because you have no idea how to do anything with discretion.

Just ask them.

You could do something significant, important. [By which he means SOMETHING GOOD, but this will likely backfire.] Or you can just sit there and let everybody forget you exist.

Funny, I always got the impression you hated to be ignored.

And derive me of the satisfaction of seeing your death? Hardly.

I'm going to petition the Admiral to replace your entire wardrobe when this is over. I hope you know that.

Is that all you have to think of before you lose your life?

No. But you're worth about as much time and effort to me as you do to them. [Which is: NOT AT ALL. Arthur will become a better warden eventually, I promise :c]

Oh if only. Perhaps, unless you forget, I am responsible for getting you what you want most.

And you forget I can get a transfer.
