This is intended for people who have been here for at least a few months. Specifically from before the incident with the murderplants.

Please help by answering the following questions as specifically as you can:

1) How long have you been here, to the best of your knowledge?

2) Please list any unusual occurrences you can remember, in order, and any details you can relate- duration, how they started and/or ended, any other details you consider relevant.

Thank you very much for your time. I will be on hand in case there are any questions.

If that is what it is meant to be, it is the worst furlough I have ever experienced.

I only wish to be myself. I don't want to be altered in any way, or to be a copy, created here for an unknown reason.

My condition has improved, thank you. The wing remains, but I hope it will soon disappear.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

I think you are still yourself, even if you are a copy. Assuming that we are copies. If you know the same things, remember the same things, do the same things, and feel the same things, then you are the same person. What sort of difference would there be?

I am glad to hear it.

Does it mess up your clothing? I do not know how long the weird effects last, but it should go away pretty soon.

I can see the truth in your words. A complete copy would be a real person. However, if it were true, I can't say what kind of difference there might be, because I don't know how we might have been created. Yet I fought hard enough to win autonomy and respect in my world. I do not wish to be returned to a state in which I exist as someone else's experiment.

You would have no problem with copies of you being made?

My clothing simply changed to accommodate it, so I believe it might change back.

I can not say anything about autonomy but I think just about anybody here would respect you. You are a pretty cool person and you can slice buildings, so that covers most bases.

I can not think of immediate problems. At least not in the situation that is implied here. It still sucks to be here but it kind of sucks less because I know I am not missing my responsibilities or making my parents worry.

Although if we are copies, that would put a crimp in the plans to get out.

Well at least if it does not change back, you do not need new tailoring. And at least it is not cat ears.

Thank you, Jessica. It is not the respect of my fellow prisoners that concerns me; they are welcome to regard me as they see fit, but our captors do not respect our rights, and this troubles me.

I suppose there is no immediate, obvious problem, but it does make me uneasy. If they can do that, what else can they do?

It does please me to think that my presence here is not hindering the war effort, but on the other hand, if it was a lie, it could have the intent of making us more complacent. She did tell me that in response to my request to be returned to my comrades.

[Sephiroth gives one of her wry smiles.] Yes, at least I was spared the indignity of cat ears, for which I am grateful.

[notvitiligo.livejournal.com]

Captors generally do not respect rights, no.

I am not totally convinced that she was not making things up. I guess in the end it does not matter on our end, since it does not really change the immediate situation.

I do wish that I understood how these people can do all this. It is definitely [pause] uneasy-making. [Stupid vocabulary.]

[no-hometown.livejournal.com]

I treat my prisoners of war with respect. I would never violate their rights in this manner. [Sephiroth says this sternly.]

I'm unsure of what to think. I can see reasons for them to lie, and also for them to tell the truth. I believe it does matter. Anything that brings us closer to understanding could be useful.
