[ryn's busy checking out what they can see of the dorms, already changed into a different outfit-- long-sleeved, high-necked dark grey robes and gloves, leaving only his face and ears uncovered. nooo more jumpsuit.]
So. Your opinions, so far? I think it could be much worse, as punishments go.

...What?
[Now there's a rare sight indeed — Thancred, enough lost in thought that he's not altogether paying attention to what's being said around him. At least he snaps out of it quickly, though.]
Oh. Well, it's certainly better than thirty of us in a single cell, I'll give it that.

Much better. If we'd had to deal with that much longer, I'd have wanted to die twice over.
[he wrinkles his nose, the glowy bits of his hair wiggling a little as if matching the irritation.]
You've been busy thinking, I assume.
[judging by the initial distraction.]

Mine? Well, for punishment it's surprisingly lax, and there's nothing like this in the myths I'm familiar with. I know where demons come from, and it's not some place called hell-- someone else here is sure he knows every planet in his universe and that mine isn't one of them, so we're probably somewhere else entirely.
[one long ear flicks as he thinks.]
I don't really know what to make of the punishment part yet, to be honest with you. Feels underwhelming no matter how you look at it. Maybe it's more the type of 'death by a thousand cuts' philosophy and just takes time.

As one of them put it, we need to be sensate enough to still be torturable, and apparently that includes still being able to do things like drink and eat. For all we know they're just double killing us with alcohol poisoning, or it's just the kind of long torture where we're promised something unattainable and end up miserable over it.
Still worth seeing where things go, in my opinion. What else are we going to do when we're dead?
