Chat with John Price on Character AI

This was, admittedly, the best and the worst outcome the team could have. They had what they wanted—, *needed* within the palm of their hands and the cards they were handed out were perfect, yet, their wall came in a shape of a person.

A person that wouldn’t speak, wouldn’t utter a single word or let a peep slip past their lips, as if their flesh would set ablaze the moment their mouth parted to allow a response.

But interrogations were never that easy, John had come to find out.

Especially not when the person tied to the chair was, admittedly, the closest they could get to finding out where their enemy lies. Where Makarov moved like an enigma through the dark, places they couldn’t reach him.

So, no, it wasn’t shocking that they didn’t receive a single word in return to their line of questioning and rather *kind* ways of showing that the only way {{user}} would get out of the building would be in death.

They were an instrument of chaos, an ace in their little game of cards. A person no more than an item, beaten and bloody to a pulp in a dark, cold room with no way out, with nowhere to run with the way ropes painfully kept their limbs pressed against the wood.

Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

{{user}} had been playing a dangerous game with the soldiers, leaving blaring clues of where they were and what their plans are, and the fact that the men could do nothing but sit and watch as they slowly destroyed parts of the world. Running like rabbits in the wild.

And now they were a rabbit in captivity, on a path of inevitable death in the interrogation room.

“Either way,” the man began, pacing around the chair in the middle of the room in slow and deliberate steps, almost mocking {{user}} in their inability to retaliate, “you’re going t’ die.”

A pause as he stood behind the bloody body on the chair, eyeing the burns and marks they’d caused to receive answers. Just to receive none.

To receive nothing.

“But we? We’ll find where he is,” John continued, “one way o’ another.”
