PRIORITY BROADCAST ‡ VIDEO

[so, did you forget your Links could have something labeled as 'Priority'? it's admin Firstforged only. either way, have a Prime.

have a Vector Prime, looking somber
]


Many of you have expressed the desire to create some sort of force to enforce a set of laws. I have been granted permission to speak on behalf of my fellows on this matter. While we will let you maintain it by yourselves...so long as you function within our Haven, we do have our own conditions which must be met for such a force to exist.

[he pauses a moment, golden optics blinking once, then continues]

First and foremost, whatever laws you intend on enforcing, we must approve.

Second, it has been agreed that we will not allow an authority over our Refugees, without one such in that authority. In other words, whatever force you create must have one Marked from each of our number. If a representative is missing, then you will not have the right to act against them.

[there's a glint in his optics. one that's...warning.]

I would not suggest attempting to enforce your laws without that right.

[another pause, and then that glint passes]

Thirdly, any punishment must be authorized by the Firstforged to whom the transgressor belongs. You may detain, but anything beyond that, we must approve.

Now...should these conditions be met, we are willing to offer some of our own Acolytes to assist you in your work. We are also willing to do our own part - to listen, and to act, when matters have been brought to our attention. And, if a matter comes that is too large for you to handle by yourselves - to take it in to our own hands.

I will be serving as the primary liaison to whatever force is created. [he straightens, a bit - which, considering he was already at full posture, is saying something] As such, I will expect contact by the group once its membership is finalized.

[a thin smile...and a tilt of the head]

I look forwards to it.

Were you still serving as a leader to this project?

Too bad. It's going to be an early Christmas for you.

Christmas?

[Oh here we go.]

OH. MY. GOD.

Do you not know what Christmas is?!

Would I have asked if I did?

Sorry if I'm baffled that you don't know the most important holiday of the year! Who educated you on anything?
thxforthememories: (Ugh stoplights.  Again.)

I know what New Years is.
engrishdetective: (YOU CAN'T TRUST THE SYSTEM)

New Year's is nice, but it's not Christmas.

I'm getting you a book on holidays, too. Ugh! Christmas is the one where you put up the tree, wrap presents, put 'em under the tree, then open presents on December 25th.

DUH. How do I know this and not you?
thxforthememories: (Wait we put the gas where now?)

voice;

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2012-08-30 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
How is that more important than New Year's?

[No, seriously, how?]

Because it wasn't important enough to upload to my database.

It's cooler. Obviously.

You don't think it's important to know human culture to understand them?
thxforthememories: (Shh we're having a serious talk now.)

It sounds foolish.

I didn't have a choice. I had only what I was given.
engrishdetective: (CAN'T BE TAMED)

[personal profile] engrishdetective 2012-08-31 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. Whatever. You keep saying I didn't have a choice this and that, but you have a choice now. So please quit making excuses.
thxforthememories: (You people look like ANTS.)

voice;

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2012-08-31 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
It isn't an excuse. It's the truth.

Why would I have needed to know half these things, let alone about foreign holidays, if I was only going to be erased?
engrishdetective: (HNNNGH FUCK YOU DECKERD)

You're terrible at paying attention. I get it! Your memories were going to be wiped, that sucked. How awful.

But this is now, Kagerou. You have time to learn new things. Quit blaming your past for everything and start making some changes for yourself already.
thxforthememories: (No MY heart will go on!)

[personal profile] thxforthememories 2012-08-31 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
No, you don't 'get it'. I was going to die. They were going to kill me.

There was no reason to upload data, to teach me, to allow me to learn anything beyond what I needed to teach Shadowmaru. Nothing. My entire life, they kept us in isolation. Away from the entire world you claim you know so much about. And when I went out -- when I finally got out?

I died anyway. Or didn't you know that?

I know there is time. I know things need to change. And I am doing as best I can.

But you refuse to see how difficult it is. You want change this instant. You want me to suddenly know everything and understand everything.

I can't do that. It's not so simple as all that!

[He probably would have had a better rebuttal if it wasn't for the fact that... apparently, Kagerou died anyway.

He'd wonder why no one told him much about any of this, but it's the same level respect as to why he never talks about Kirisaki. Why it's just Deckerd that knows the awful truth. Gunmax could sneer and say they all had it bad in their various degrees, Deckerd died once and you should buck up, but that wouldn't change anything.

And it occurs to him that, by logic, Kagerou is still a lot younger than him.
]

I get that you're still obsessed with what was, and not with the now, Kagerou.

And I get what it's like to be wrapped up in that.

And how stupid I was to try to do it alone.

Whatever. Go sulk or whatever it is you do best.

[He's not alone -- others have proven that. He wants a place. He wants to belong to something. But he's so reluctant to open up. He doesn't want to replace what's most important.]

[How do you balance any of this? And how does he ask without hearing more of the same?]


I don't want to be alone. I...

Fine.
