nine wild roars ✪ video; after news of the debrecen bombing breaks

[earnedmystripes]

[Eyyyy, network. How're you all feeling today? Disgusted? Pissed off? Frustrated? Yeah, Kotetsu too. Hence--yep, that sure is a whole bunch of cases of beer in Kotetsu's living room.]

Sssssoooo. If anyone wants to be less than sober for dealing with this latest bullshit, come by my place, Heropa 14. You can bring your own alcohol if you don't like beer, and there's gonna be pizza and ice cream too, if you're a minor. Or if you just don't drink, I guess.

[The grumpiest, unhappiest sigh]

God bless the USA, am I right?

[ooc: Open log to follow soon!]

[ She looks on, visibly disconcerted by something. ]

This isn't right.

[earnedmystripes]

It's shit, is what it is.

[He usually tries to watch his language better when he's talking where kids can hear, but he's just so angry.]

But it's happened and there's nothing we can do to undo it, so that's what the booze is for, yeah?

[boobwindow]

That's not what I mean.

[ Her eyes narrow, though it occurs to her she should have been less vague from the start. ]

If we're talking about what happened in Debrecen, then getting drunk isn't going to help anyone but yourself. [ She shakes her head. ] And it's not about us.

i sure did misread karen's tag lmao

[He rubs at his face.]

...I know it's not exactly productive, I get it. But there's nothing useful we'll be allowed to do for 'em if the government has any say in it. They didn't even want us to help when the Hornets bombed a Soviet-allied city, let alone now.

We're not the ones suffering 'cause of this, I know that. Still...we got a right to be pissed off, don't we? They basically claimed this slaughter in our name.

[Inviting imPorts to be miserable together with comfort food seemed less of a poor life decision than going and making an ass of himself at one of the military bases or something.]

no, not at all!

[boobwindow]

Of course I'm pissed. Actually, it doesn't begin to cover my disgust that that happened.

[ It's naive to hope there won't be countless lives lost in this war, but it doesn't mean she can't be livid over the fact civilians got caught in the crossfire.

Some things just don't change between universes. ]

We can try to do something rather than nothing. Donations or even writing in protest to our local representatives in the government. I know the damage has been done, but maybe we can do something to ensure it doesn't happen again.

[earnedmystripes]

I'm all for donations if we can make that happen, but anything we try to protest they'll probably just say we're still brainwashed and brush us off. Not like they listened to us before they had such a convenient excuse not to.

[He's actually thought about it, for once. There isn't any outlet for his anger that doesn't involve getting himself into shit with the government, and he very unfortunately needs to stay at least nominally registered so he can help people as best he can as Wild Tiger. Which means all that's left to him is trying to dull the outrage itself, if only for a little while.]

I mean, the locals're actually praising the government for this shit.
