to access the magnitude of this betrayal
❝ could not be more vague if she tried…❞
it’s a half mutter - an external musing. how on earth could the people of new colorado be wary of ‘betrayal’ when they have no fucking clue what that constituted. was it something simple - or a more heinous crime? only rumour and whisper and nothing concrete. which - in moss’ opinion - was just dumb. deciding to impose a curfew on citizens because of the ‘actions of one’ - as so astutely stated in the public address was… …even. more. stupid???
had vivia been sniffing fermented vegetable vapour?
who exactly was betrayed? how were they betrayed? why was the punishment citizen wide? why cut off comms to the entire city? what rule was broken?
too many questions and no answers forthcoming - rattling around in the mechanics mind like fireflies trapped in a jar. it’s – frustrating at best… infuriating at worst. plus, the curfew was hampering his work… not that he had to work beyond the alloted time - BUT - all of those extras, the equipment for the hunters, and his little – uh… side projects… tended to be done ‘out of hours’. so yeah… he’s pretty pissed.
❝ telling people they’re being restricted ‘for their own good’… that they’re being punished for a ‘betrayal’ - a crime that they - did not commit - is a sure fire way to piss off the entire populace. en masse. like… what goes through their minds??? seriously??? ❞
❝ keeping people in the dark… don’t need to be a psych expert to know that just causes anxiety, paranoia, unrest… this whole thing is a box of frogs… a sack of cats… a barrel of… cows? look i don’t remember what the old world saying it but it’s madness. ❞
