2. Fighting a War
[A: Phone (Filtered to Children)]
[Nabuca doesn't often use the phone, he doesn't feel the need to engage in the idle chatter that most of the people here indulged in. It was like they didn't even realise they were fighting a war sometimes, like they could forget the battles waged just because people didn't always stay dead.
That wasn't a good thing in his opinion, death was a release and a rest well earned at the end of the fight. And this was a fight. Everyone here had become soldiers whether they wanted to be or not, consent was unimportant in the end, they were here now and everyone had a duty to fight or they'd never win.]
You need to stop hiding behind the adults for protection, you are all capable of fighting yourselves. The faster we win this war, the sooner we will be able to return home. If you think you are too weak or inexperienced to do this, arm yourself with the thought of freedom and home.
[B: Church (Open to All)]
[He has often heard it said aboard Hellywood that their war was a holy one, and after hearing that there was a church here, he had to wonder if the same could be said in Mayfield. It's this reason that brings him to the church, wary as he slips quietly inside and starts to look around for any signs that this place could be more than what it seems. Clearly a teenage boy stalking the pews should be questioned as to what he's doing, right?]

no subject
You know nothing about the situation or where you are. You seem to think that, whatever it is you did back home will work here. And I'm here to tell you it won't.
You want to attack the people running this place? Where will you start? City Hall? It's been tried. It failed. The Smith's house? Unassailable. The person who can apparently turn the town entirely on head lives there: you wouldn't be able to do a single thing. The police station? Most of the police are other captives. They're comfortable giving roles of authority to the people they've captured.
You want to organize the people here? Who'll lead them? You? Don't make me laugh. There's no one here who could band everyone or even a majority of the people together to try and attack. What you want will never happen.
As for not taking action...
[There's just a bitter laugh on his end.]
How about you bite me, jerkface? You don't know what I've seen or, more importantly, what I've done during my stay here. You know nothing about the situation or what's come before, and you don't want to. You want to blindly think that nothing has changed and the way you see the world is still relevant.
It isn't.
I was trying to be nice by telling you here instead of the kick in the butt you're going to get during your stay here. But you deserve it if you're not going to listen to reason whatsoever.
