They ended up holding the council beneath my very cage. It was all very official and solemn. Users cast glances up at me as I swung dolefully back and forth. If I didn’t get out of here soon, I was going to go cuckoo.
“This uzer, thiz boi, haz thrown himself uponz us.” One of the girls spoke up, presumably their leader by her positioning. “What shall ze do with him?”
A user raised a hand. “Spin ‘im?”
I blanched.
“We’ll keepz that suggestion in mind.” The user promised. “Anybody here willing to speak upz for him?”
Sweets stood up.
“We already know you’re in cohorts with himz, Cavie.”
Apparently rooks got just as much respect over here.
“I willk.” Cosmic stood up. “He saved my life.”
“Yez, we know.” She sighed. “He’z a hero, yah, we got that.”
Another stood. “He questions the rulos.”
I tried to spin my cage around so I could see who else had spoken up for me. The leader raised an eyebrow. “Iz that a good thing?”
“We’ve gono stagnant, girlos. We’re fighting the samo old battles, over and over. We’ve stopped trying to actually escapo.” She pointed up at me. “He hasn’t.”
Have you told them your message o’ peace and reconciliation yet?
No. Do ya blame meh?
Well, our position is kind of tenuous now, ain’t it?
What’s that word mean?
I ignored her, turning my attentions back to my impending doom at the hands of probably a pair of scissors. I finally got a good glimpse of my second defendant, to realize that it was the girl from the Galleries, Essa! I almost waved, then recovered myself.
She pointed up at my cage. “This little war of ours with the boys has gone on too long. We’re all stuck here, and here we are competing over settlements, instead of trying to find a way out!” She pointed yet again in my direction, and I winced this time. “He doesn’t want war with us. He wants to help us.”
Well, at least that part was true. I was getting misconstrued, but that’s all you can expect, I guess, when you’re on the mute.
I CON never remember who is and who isn't...are you a public schooler?
Is a lollipop the equivalent of a sucker, or is there a difference?
Nope, homeschooled. What about you? Ik your in college now, but I mean before that.
Ermm, Yes. I think a lollipop is technically those massive swirly ones. And suckers are gullible people the hard things you get at the dentist. Basically budget cut lollipops.
I thought you were, but I just don't have room in my head for everything I'd like to remember. Actually, I'm still in highschool, though I am taking a two college courses right now. So yeah, I'm homeschooled.

Never had a lollipop then.
Yeah. None of us have enough memory capacity. I had the sneaking feeling you were too. I am in highschool as well. Though we are the same age.
O.O ......you poor, poor boi. If I could send you one right now I would.

The girls still seemed hesitant, especially their leader, processing this call to unite with a boy (of all things), and actually do something.
The main girl suddenly shook her head. “Nah.”
Sweets burst in. “That’s it? A ‘nah’? That’s all we get?”
“That was just my opinion, not the sentence.” She paused. “I think we’ll hang him.” She burst into laughter. “Hang him? We already did that. Get it?”
“Yeso.” Essa dead-panned.
“Ah well, then.” Their leader abruptly stopped laughing. “I think we shall-”
I never got to hear my fate, because at that exact moment, the air was filled with war cries as a bunch of dark figures attacked my judge and jury. I spotted glimpses of green sombreros, and deciphered what was going on. It was the runners!
I couldn’t figure out who I was supposed to be rooting for. The boys were presumably attacking to recapture me. The girls presumably were going to pass a nasty sentence. Neither were good options. A better presented itself when Cosmic appeared in the tree next to me, scuttling up its trunk.
She hopped over to mine, landing on the branch that my cage was tied too. “Hiya.”
I barely had time to say my customary “hola” before she pulled out a pair of scissor. “Uh, don’t you think that’s a bad idea-aaaaaa!” I fell through the air, my protest ignored. My fall was broken by some grasping arms. It was still a hard fall, though, and the bottom of the cage got mashed in. I kicked it out, and stood up to find Essa and Sweets standing there. Cosmic dropped down to join us.
“How’d they geto in here?” Essa asked.
“Over or under.” I shrugged. “Does it matter which?”
“It does if we’re taking their routo back out.” Essa pointed out.
The battled was raging around us, but it appeared the runners were winning. I motioned for Cosmic to take the lead, and she burst off. We sprinted after her.
Yeah. None of us have enough memory capacity. I had the sneaking feeling you were too. I am in highschool as well. Though we are the same age.
O.O ......you poor, poor boi. If I could send you one right now I would.
You're a senior too?
I'm good, I prefer chocolate.
*mutters something under breath* Not exactly. Your 17 right? That's what I understood.
Chocolate lolipop! Actually I love chocolate so much I that I'm going to need a moment to regain my composure…..*goes back in closet and rants about chocolate with eating it* HA HA I LOVE IT!! *Snarf snarf snarf…….*
