is there a fucking reason why we can't just blow this place to hell and let it burn?  Ain't nothing those doctors can do if there's no Institute left.

It's not like you don't have the materials.  what's wrong with all you goddam "geniuses" if you can't even manage a single fucking bomb?!

There's no joy in a bomb, you imbecile. There's no buildup, no excitement, no prolonged and bloody suffering!

Honestly. If you're going to kill someone, kill them right.

[clockmongler.livejournal.com]

I concur.

I like you.

Joy isn't the point, smartass.

and you sound way too experienced for comfort.

There's some here that can create items that are explosive in nature. But for most, escape as it were, isn't the issue. Some people are missing powers or abilities, even their true form--things that make them who they are. Even if they left that way, would it really be called escape or freedom if they're still encased in what the Institute has trapped them in?

The same goes for where people have been taken from. Alternate worlds, different planets, different times. Most would like to go home, not just outside.

I believe that's why we're trying to understand and take it down, rather than merely blow it up.

And some of us would rather be what we find ourselves now than what we were before.

Then you'd better work fast, dammit. before we all going fucking out of our minds

Burning down the building would likely require taking control in the first place. Even though there are many who would deserve getting caught in the explosion, surely there are also others who would not.

[gothamnight.livejournal.com]

do you really think we're ever in control so long's we're in here?! And hey, there's always sacrifices to be made, duh.

[clockmongler.livejournal.com]

Lack of motivation, I suppose.

[rough, but undeniably masculine anonymous handwriting]

[gothamnight.livejournal.com]

Motivation as in "sorry, I don't have any balls" or motivation as in "let's just drag this all out 'cause torturing minds out bit by bit is fun"?!

[anon, disguised]

[piggy-king.livejournal.com]

Blowing up the institute just isn't fun enough! Besides, would you want to just blow up Landel? I should certainly hope not! Someone like him deserves to be tortured slowly and painfully.

Oh, yeah. Plus all that stuff about other people getting hurt, I guess.

[rough, but undeniably masculine anonymous handwriting]

[gothamnight.livejournal.com]

Slowly and painfully?

You're one sick bastard.

[bullygeneraleva.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone who can pull all of this time/space crap is actually going to care if you burn down their fake hospital.

[rough, but undeniably masculine anonymous handwriting]

[gothamnight.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah?

what the fuck else is there to care about?!

[jokers-wildcard.livejournal.com]

Now that's what I'm talking about! Why can't more people make sense?

A bomb large enough to do substantial structural damage to the institute would take far more supplies than we would be able to collect in a single night or store over multiple nights. Simply because something is explosive doesn't mean it can take out a building.

Brainwashed patients have damaged parts of the institute before. They revert to their original state at the end of night. You're assuming that whatever's controlling this is stationed in the institute, and we have no reason to believe that's the case.

Explosives could serve a purpose in opening up more of the institute to exploration, but demolishing the thing isn't an option.

As Renamon pointed out above, "escape" means different things to different people.

I think I take offense to this, considering 'genius' was used in the note.

Something happen, then?

[emotionl4arobot.livejournal.com]

Unless you claim to be the only genius here, or happen to have been unsuccessful in creating an explosive device, then I don't see why you should take offence at this, as it's hardly directed at you and you alone.

How would you suggest that we evacuate everyone in that case? Not to mention that there is the matter of any technology that might be in this facility that could reverse the restrictions and changes done to some of us. Would you destroy that as well?

Still looking for your little robot body, love?

[haplesstracker.livejournal.com]

The problem there is that blowing it up involves getting out of the building before it goes all to the smelter. And if we could get out of here, then it wouldn't be an issue anyway.

[k4t4str0ph4l.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with you that you need other people to do it for you? Don't tell me you've had your wings clipped...

[stalksperverts.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, because violence is always the answer.

[bullygeneraleva.livejournal.com]

It's usually an answer. There was a Georgian who said, "Death solves all problems. No man, no problem."

[never-learns.livejournal.com]

Try it. I think it's pretty much guaranteed that the building will be back to normal the next day without even a sign of the damage.

[zeus-incarnate.livejournal.com]

I know someone who has been developing explosives, of a sort.

a) everyone would need to be out of the building
b) there is no way to set them off, currently
c) like all other damage done at night, we have no way of knowing if it will go back to normal or not

I have been retrieving the necessary materials to create incendiary explosives. If one were to try to burn the institute down, I would require much more raw material.

Even ignoring both the moral and selfish reasons not to just blow this place sky high, it's not that easy. You're not going to take down a building with the equivalent of someone's high school chemistry project.

[grosse-sklaven.livejournal.com]

I don't think most people have been around here long enough to know, but this is not the first 'Landel's Institute.' There was another before this one, and the 'transfer' took place between one night and the next.

To put it succinctly, I don't believe that blowing up the building would honestly cause that much of a problem. This is not, however, to say that I'd be adverse to seeing the results.
