Excellent dream plot bunny prison escape
May. 2nd, 2022 03:57 pmI do not know why I ended up sleeping until 3pm today. I started trying to sleep at midnight, only checked the internet once around 0230, and only had to get up once to check my house hadn't been broken into. Also my alarm went off at 1101. Staying asleep until 3pm seems excessive.
But I had an excellent plot bunny dream.
The Doctor was in prison. Which is not usually a problem for long. And it was the sort of prison where you can wander around and get meals and meet people and all sorts, so there seemed to be opportunity all over.
But it was like that time the audios kept 8 in prison by making him believe the consequences of leaving were too terrible.
If the Doctor escaped, every other prisoner would die.
All of them.
If anyone escaped really, which was why the prison authorities didnt mind all the mixing.
Everyone knew the cost of escape, so no one let anyone try it.
But it was a 'humane' prison, so any intentional deaths also counted as an escape
since they wouldnt be serving the rest of their sentence.
... that kept the violence... lower.
So the Doctor got there and realised:
No one can escape
unless Everyone does.
