♓ Video ♑ (color coded so you know who is who)

[haircestor]

[The video feed flickers on to show a lovely adult troll, tyrian colored eyes matching her tyrian painted lips. Thick black hair down to the ground that seems to wrap around her figure. She, all together, looks rather bored, like this is some tedious effort she doesn't want to deal with.]

Hello, Vatheon.

[A smile touches her features, one much softer than most would expect! Less condescending than her title implies.]

I feel now is a good time to introduce my presence and-

[She turns her head away from the video for a moment, something obviously caught her attention. The video becomes shaky as she walks quickly.]

Grand Highblood?

[The video doesn't turn from its original position, but a low rumbling voice can be heard offscreen:]

Well, my lady. Didn't think I would be all motherfucking finding you here so quick-like and shit.

You're so eager to fight and take on the world, Summoner... and believe me, I understand. You saw what she did to my best friend, what she did to my family. I have my grievances with her too. But don't let your eagerness alight and turn into a blaze that scorches away everything you're fighting for.

Unity, Summoner. And that includes the indigos who would choose a different path. Don't make enemies of your friends by poorly chosen words.

Have I lifted a hand to her? have I rushed off like some wriggler?

And anyone that truly knows me, Signless, won't be so quick to jump to such thoughts. These words are strictly for who they are directed at. I do not have time for weak emotions and bitter spines.

Don't you dare accuse me of not caring! Don't you even dare. You've seen what she did to Psii, what she continues to do to him!

Don't throw aside everything you've worked so hard for! Heart on fire, mind on ice! Calm down!

The Psiioniic needs to be chained away from her to undergo reverse conditioning, that or his only freedom is death, unfortunately that can't come to anyone here. Which means she will not die either.

I am not throwing aside anything! [Yeah, bit of yelling now.]

I am making my presence known! I am showing her that I don't believe her lies, I am making sure she knows she is not welcome. By lance, psionics, or fang and claw, she will know the agony I feel for our world. I would undergo the unholy ritual to see her empire's demise.

[Getting kind of worked up over here too.]

Don't let your anger control you so! If you succumb to rage and violence you're no better than they are!

Think, Summoner! For someone who once controlled entire galaxies, what could be the worst punishment imaginable? Being ignored! You're feeding into it and giving her more power than she deserves by getting so worked up! Don't you get it? That's what she wants!

She'll never be ignored, Signless, you know this. Especially with followers here. They'll feed into it and she'll merely reach out to gain attention again. Whether that be by continuing this fake bullshit or by resorting to her familiar sadistic tendencies we all so well know.

What she wants to so make us think otherwise, make us believe that she truly does not care about this place. LIES. I will NOT BE SILENCED.

[Can't be tamed.]

And what is your long-term plan, then? What do you propose we do, in the face of this adversity?

Video; filtered

[rebull]

I will dedicate my life to making sure nothing happens.

[withoutasign]

You would give up everything for that? Aradia, Darkleer, Psii, myself?

You're almost as devoted as the Grand Highblood, if that's the case.

[rebull]

[His gaze narrows, but that's his only physical reaction besides speech.]

My devotion to this cause stems from my love of all of you. This is my life, this is my purpose, I had already accepted it before I ever came here and had merely hoped I could keep it behind me until I returned.

I am fine with never seeing any of you again if it means your safety. I am fine with death if it means my friends and loved ones will remain alive.

[Raises his chin slightly.]

I would take my own lance to my chest if it meant I could succeed in this goal.

[That... is really touching, actually. Signless thinks it's a bit misguided, but still touching.]

Then I pray it never comes to that, my friend.

Do not waste your prayers on me, Signless. Use your time to think of the others.

[withoutasign]

There's always time to pray for you along with them, Summoner.

[rebull]

So bit it, if that is your wish, Signless. [Stone facing at you now, man.]

Video; filtered

[withoutasign]

It is.

[Warm, understanding grinning at you now, man.]

I'll come see you when I'm in the bubble.

[rebull]

I would prefer if you didn't.

[withoutasign]

That never stopped me before.

[rebull]

[He really doesn't have much of a response to that. Just a stern glance.]

It should.

[withoutasign]

But it doesn't.

[rebull]

Foolish.

That's what everyone says.

You would do well to take it to heart in certain situations, prophet.

I have no intention of getting myself culled, Summoner. There are too many souls, both troll and human, who need me here.

Video; filtered

[rebull]

It pleases me to hear that.

[withoutasign]

The same applies to you, you know. There are many here who would be heartbroken if anything were to happen to you.
