Shada! Shada?! Hello!? Er....What are you?! Bu-....WEll, um.....hmm..... Marty waves a hand in front of Shada.
Hello!? Please don't be dead.... Elkandar and Tyalla would hear Marty yelling like a madman.
Marty tries to poke Shada's nose.
Hello!? Shada!? What happened? Are you hurt? Marty tries to take the basket and set it behind the counter. Marty looks absolutely terrified.
Hmm.....I wonder if she can hear me? Please be Ok.
Far Away, Cylar Palace, Throne Room-Dungeons
Thenadier finishes his conversation with Lord Sebastien. Thenadier limps down the palace throne room's stairs before ordering a trio of guards to accompany him. Thenadier heads to the lower dungeons. He has been using his cane often lately, his leg had been hurting.
Damn Aceford. Thenadier growls angrily before marching therough the dungeon doors.
Alright you scum! Up! Head count! Thenadier walks down the hall of cells taking attendance.
Alright! Prisoner 346810!? Stand up! A frail, thin woman stands up in a cell.
Yes? whispers the starved woman.
Speak up! People don't mumble when they speak to me! A man sticks his fingers out of the near cell, trying to grab Thenadier. Thenadier is fast and swirls his cane around,
SNAP! The man's fingers break as Thenadier's cane strikes them. The poor man whines and yells. One of the guards unlock the cell and drag the one man out. The man yells,
No! Stop! Please! NO! Thenadier sneers,
You attacked a police officer. Assault. You are guilty and will suffer. Are you aware of the punishment? The prisoner whimpers.
How much do you value your eyes? Spend your brief time with them well. Take him to the gauging room. Heat up the poker too. Thenadier is emotionless and turns to the woman.
Flora Rightly, you will serve Cylar. You are required. I believe you knew prisoner 24601? Thenadier growls.
Marius? Thenadier snaps his cane at her cell bars.
Yes! Your old "friend" is a criminal.... Then? What happened to you? My name is Inspector Thenadier, you will address me by my name. Flora's pink eyes look over poor Thenadier.
Why? Thenadier laughs, it's a cold sound.
You know why woman. Guards! Open the cell, then follow me. Thenadier escorts Flora and the guards to the throne room. The gates to the dungeon close as Thenadier leaves. Flora is lead to the throne room to talk to Lord Sebastein. Thenadier heads to the Arcana tower. He limps up the flights of stairs before reaching the very top. Thenadier observes the kingdom. He hears a man preaching in the street.
More rebels. The bloody idiots are staging a revolution. Not on my watch....Listen to the mongrels....
Cylar-Streets
A dark haired man with a goatee stands behind a podium, he yells to the street pedestrians
Ow do you do? My name's Toque! These are my people. Here's my thoughts! "Not much to look at, nothing posh Nothing that you'd call up to scratch.This is my school, my high society Here in the slums of Cylar! We live on crumbs of humble piety Tough on the teeth, but we get by!"
Think you're poor? Think you're free? FIGHT WITH ME!When's it gonna end?
When will we rise! Something's gotta happen now or something's gonna give,
It'll come, the day will come! Where the leaders of the land? Where are the swells who run this show?
See our children fed, help us in our shame something for a crust of bread in all the god's names! With all the anger in the land, how long before the judgment day? Before we cut the fat ones down to size? Before the barricades arise?!!
The crowd cheers for Toque,
Hurrah! DOWN WITH SEBASTIEN!
Toque continues his speech,
Watch out for old Thenadier! The busybody would prefer to leave us to die in the streets, the crook would rather have us live as slaves of the law! He's worse than any of them! He's a bloody tyrant! DOWN WITH THENADIER!
The crowd cheeres, meanwhile poor Thenadier listens.
Charming.... Thenadier heads down and signals for various guards to calm the crowd. Thenadier heads to the square, Toque escapes.
Listen people of Cylar. Toque is a madman. Insane. Ignore him. Anyone disagree? Thenadier's voice is commanding as he addresses the crowd.
Yeah! I disagree! yells a man. Guards quickly grab him. Thenadier walks to the man calmly.
You are an idiot....You know that. In spite of the fact you are not strong, smart, or even clean you resist the law. People like you should be slaughtered like pigs. You're under arrest for disrespecting the government. To the prison with you... The man goes in peace. Having, in his opinion, served his country. He didn't last a week.....
