They brand us like cattle. Expect us to play house. Assign crapass jobs.

And of all the places to wage the Cold War 2.0, they pick fucking Florida. [ she scoffs, as if that's somehow the worst offense of all. ] How do we leave this shithole?

Yeah. Haughty, but better than the ones who have been here for three years and settled in enough to want to stay, and better than the ones whose reaction to being kidnapped is to ask how they can help their kidnappers.

[hardedged]

And better than the ones who bitch to random strangers.

[ aka — you. ]

[devoutish]

Only a warning of what you're gonna encounter here. Best be prepared for it.

Thanks, pops. Real helpful.
