But... how?

As far as I can tell, we're compelling to run trial and expulsions. And probably kill as well.

Not that part, but-- the rest of it. What's been set up here.

As far as I've heard, personally, I don't think anyone's refused to attend entirely, but I do think it might be worth finding out.

That is an idea.

They probably enjoy our shock and pain, so if we could remove that...

Well, there's that as well, but I don't think

Given the nature of expulsions, I couldn't ask anyone not to be there for someone important to them, and at this point I think all of us have at least someone.

I mean more along the lines of not engaging with this during the week. We're not being forced into the classes, but we don't fully know how much they matter.

Hmm. That caused people to be cursed, didn't it? Assuming that's what happened to Catra.

Though, Dimitri wasn't. As far as I know.

I think it was theorized, but didn't she say she went to at least one or two? I recall there being some confusion about it.

Did he not attend, either?

Oh, did she?

Dimitri didn't attend any classes our first week here, but I don't think he suffered any consequences.

There was a lot being discussed at the time, but I think so.

[and i don't remember where it was so if that's wrong then it's wrong!]

If it was safe for him, though, then

It might be worth doing again, if you'd be willing to help test it out. I know we've all discussed what sort of situation this seems to be, and if it turns out to still be safe to just-- not go, then we could try it on a larger scale and see if a lack of engagement does anything for us. Forces them to show their hand a bit more, maybe. Or maybe we'll just find out it can all be easily ignored, and then we have one less thing to consider or to worry about. We still need to know as much about this place as we can gather.
