You arrived here not too long ago. Or maybe it was years ago. It's possible you've forgotten. However it happened, you're here now. And by the time we're done with you, you're going to be seeing things our way.

Somewhere, for some reason, someone's decided that you need an attitude adjustment. Maybe it's just an enemy group trying to change your allegiance. Maybe there's a cult that wants you to accept that its God is the only one. Maybe it's just an anger management group taken to an extreme.

Will you escape? Or will you accept a whole new Truth?

In the prompts below, your character can fill any number of roles. You could play the newcomer, whose mind will soon receive tampering. You could be the educator in charge of delivering lessons. Perhaps you are a rebel trapped here, trying to keep hold of yourself long enough to help all its victims escape. Or maybe you've already been indoctrinated and simply want to help others understand that everything will be so much better if they just open their minds to the real truth...

Feel free to mix and match different elements if you'd like!

1. It was aliens all along! We've been invaded by alien forces! The trouble is that it's really hard for people to resist invasion from them. Obviously, we should roll over and welcome our new overlords... Don't you agree? No? then perhaps some time in this stasis chamber is just what you need. Or maybe it'll be easier to let this little critter run up your bellybutton. Or perhaps there's another way extraterrestrials are sweeping over mankind.

2. We were always at war with Eurasia. Oh, you naughty scamp. Did you come across some information you shouldn't have? Did you find some government secrets, or walk too far out of line? You need to learn to stop asking questions. Trust that your social betters know more than you. And if you can't trust? Well, your government certainly knows everything about you. Will you still know yourself when they're done?

3. There are four lights! Whatever you were before, you ain't that anymore, Kid. You're just cattle. Meat. Labor. Your Master tells you to believe something? You believe it without question. You don't need your freedom, or your independence, or any of those things you used to know. And if you get mouthy about it, then we're gonna make it hurt until the pain wipes your brain clean. Understand?

4. Sex Ed. You're going to have to loosen up, you know. Look at you, so stiff and stern. You can't possibly be comfortable dressed like that. Just loosen up a little, have some drinks, and loosen up with a quick Old Fashioned. An orgasm here and there is great to relax the tension in your joints. Don't be such a prude! It's just a way for people to share good feelings.

5. Born again. You thought you knew what kind of faith was the right one. But that was before you knew about the real deity. What has your God done to help you? You must be so sad and lonely... Here, why don't you come to a place where everyone loves you? All you have to do is swear on this little book here, and we can offer you Paradise...

6. Do androids dream? It started with regular implants. You wanted to be thinner, so you had an operation for your stomach. You had heart problems, so now there's a pacemaker. You got hit on the head and now there's a plate in your skull. You had an accident, and now you've got a prosthetic leg. But lately, the technology in you seems to be finding a way to send impulses. Slowly, the whole community has been obsessed with replacing parts of themselves. Some of them seem obsessed with replacing their biology, and surgeries run rampant. What's the sudden obsession with technology? And-- oh gosh, that stranger has irises that can change color on the fly! Maybe another quick surgery won't hurt...

7. I put a spell on you... Make up stuff of your own!

((Newcomer or indoctrinated. Everything is fine, but ask if you want to do 4.))

Interested in a Minako?

((More than interested! Whichever prompt you want to do is fine.))

She couldn't remember how she got there. The battle before, yes. She'd given herself up to be the Seal, she remembered, but why had she awakened in the Velvet Room... and why did it look so different? So shadowy? So foreboding? Minako had never been afraid of the dark, but this wasn't right.

Panting softly, she crossed to the door and tried it only to find it locked away. It'd always opened for her before... Stepping back, she sighed and wrapped her arms around herself, her crimson eyes nervous as she looked around the room.

"... hello? Is someone there? Anyone?"

The room is silent and dark. Parts of the room are completely lost to the shadow, and even still the shadow almost seems to move, swallowing up other parts of the room and trickling closer to Minako's feet. It moves over the chair Igor usually sat in, making it disappear...

And then the elevator starts moving, and the shadows retreat, scared off by the light filtering inside. Beams of it break through the bars and land on the table, the Compendium, the patch of carpet at Minako's feet... and on a boy, suddenly sitting there in Igor's chair, head lolling forward as he sleeps. Minako isn't the only one who's escaped from the Seal it seems... Ryoji, suddenly normal, no longer joined with Nyx, has been freed as well.

[No smut, shipping okay, assumed cr okay. Peter as newcomer.
