YTSK II: Chapter II
In Universe Date: 6-7 April 2021
Oak sceams and kicks as he is being dragged to his cell. "LET ME GO YOU BOURGEOISIE BOOTLICKERS! Are you really just going to help your president imprison his political opponents?" "Yes, that is our duty." "You didn't even give me a trial before assuming me guilty! Sad to see proles like you assist in the president's war on democracy." The guards throw Oak into his cell. "Well, personally i am sad to see you supporting our Mapperdonian enemy." Oak screams from his cell, clinging to the bars. "MAPPERDONIA IS NOT THE ENEMY! THIS WAR IS A HOAX CREATED TO STOP CLASS SOLIDARITY! THE REAL ENEMY IS THE BOURGEOISIE!" The guards ignore him as they walk away.
Oak is now stuck in his cell. He is greeted by his cellmate. "Welcome to the club. My name is A.S. Mapping. What is your name, new one?" "I am Oak. I was imprisoned for dissenting against the president." "Tenax is becoming more and more authoritarian, isn't he?" "Yup. Now i'm wondering, what are you in here for?" "Uh, well..." Laughter comes from the cell on the opposite side of the hallway. "A.S. Mapping was imprisoned for intentionally broadcasting an ISIS propaganda video to the entire nation when he was a news anchor." "Fourthirds, for the last time, THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" Fourthirds is skeptical - "Haha, no. I know where your real allegiance lies, Muslim boy." A.S. persists - "I don't support ISIS and i never have. They are kharijites who will all go to Jahannam." Fourthirds retorts with only a single letter: "Z".
Fourthirds then turns his attention to Oak. "Welcome to jail, Oak. I believe i haven't introduced to myself to you yet. I am Fourthirds." "Hello Fourthirds. Why are you here?" "Well, it happened back when i worked in a farm with my current cellmate, Zed." Fourthirds points to Zed. Zed laughs. "You see, one day there was this vegan guy protesting our farm. I believe the rascal's name was Koopinator. We argued with him and he basically said that there was absolutely no difference between killing pigs, and actual sentient human beings, whatsoever. That the difference was completely nil. We agreed, so we dragged him to the butcher table and slaughtered him. We then feasted on his corpse after properly cooking it. A few days afterwards the police knocked on our door and arrested us. Something about first-degree murder."
Oak takes a deep breath and then drinks a bit of water from the sink. "Well, nice to know who i'll be rotting in prison with. I hope that we can become friends." Later in the day, Oak goes to sleep, anticipating his second day in prison.
In the midst of the night, Oak is awoken by the sound of a loud explosion. Aegea storms into the prison, followed by Suomi, Devon Rowell, and the rest of the People's Army of Videomapistan. "Well, well, well. It seems that our friend Oak has ended up in prison. What did i tell you about trying to achieve socialism through electoral means?" "That it wouldn't work?" "Exactly. Time has only proven me right. The working class will never gain their rights through bourgeoisie democracy! The system is rotten to the core, and the only way to defeat it is by completely tearing it down in a violent socialist revolution! From the ashes will rise a dictatorship of the proletariat. Will you join me, Comrade Oak?"
Oak is unsure. "Well, i appreciate the offer, but i have my doubts. I have a feeling that a failed attempt at a violent socialist revolution would just backfire and hurt the socialist movement overall."
Aegea looks at the other prisoners. "Is there anyone else interested in joining me?"
A.S. Mapping is also not entirely enthusiastic. "I'm not too fond of socialism." Fourthirds and Zed nod. "Same", they say.
Aegea is frustrated. "Well, if you guys insist, you can stay here. If you're lucky, then maybe someone else will come here to free you. However, if you support socialism and true liberation, then you should join me. You have nothing to lose but your chains. Choose wisely."
To the readers: Oak, Fourthirds, AS Mapping, Zed: Do you accept Aegea's offer to join a socialist revolution, yes or no?
(Readers were given a choice to have their character join Aegea's revolution. Oak, Fourthirds and Zed agreed, AS declined.)
