[This communicator has been hacked.

Attached to the broadcast is the alias LUNATIC, a name some of you may have come to know by now, though most of you will not have. Not to worry, of course. There will be plenty of opportunity in the future...]


I have been watching.

[The speaker's voice has been manipulated to sound both artificial and faintly hollow.]

There are sinners in your midst. [You know their names, don't you? Perhaps some of them even spring to mind: Lucifer, The Manipulator, Annie Leonhart, Reiner Braun, Bertholdt Hoover...and so on. It's possible you even sympathize with some of them, though it's clear the speaker does not.] You answer their crimes with rewards of friendship, forgiveness...and freedom.

Foolishness.


[What follows is clearly exasperated, but spoken in such quiet tones that it forces listeners to be all the more attentive.]

As expected, heroes...your idea of justice...is weak.

But that is why I have come.


[The speaker pauses, perhaps for dramatic effect, for when he begins again there is a certain zealousness to his tone.]

My name...is Lunatic.

[Do not mistake him for a hero.]

I will strike down the evil that has arisen. For the wicked ones...there will be no escape. The time for them to atone for their atrocities is now.

They will hear the voice of Thanatos.


[Those listening closely may hear the crackling and hissing of flames in the background...it grows louder and louder before the communication is suddenly cut and the line goes dead.]




[OOC: Please note that icon links have been broken. This broadcast in no way reveals the connection between Yuri and Lunatic.]

[Laughs.] No, that's not what I meant. I meant I missed all the vigil theatrics. I mean... Thanatos, really?

[Switches to a slightly more serious tone.] But seriously. Revenge-bent bastards like you have clearly never read the mind of someone who repents. You're just morally and scientifically wrong. It's that simple.

Okay, so what is it about, Drama Queen?

So you think when someone does something wrong it's like they've got some kind of wrongness-debt they have to pay, right? Let me tell you something.

[Gets a look like he's about to say something really intelligent, and then:]

That's fucking stupid. You're not three years old anymore.

[Actually feeling a tiny touch of sympathy for Lunatic at hearing this; he's often felt the same way.]

Hey, I agree. Senseless slaughter is awful beyond words.

But you gotta make sure you're not adding to it.

Not real justice, no. But the shit that passes for justice is very fucking senseless. That's why I can't stand you morality-mongers. You ally yourself to this made-up set of principles and end up just as bad as any shitty government.

No, I'm saying you make your own laws and then apply them indiscriminately to everyone around you. You can't go through life like that. It's not real justice.
psychicpsycho: (10 - Hmmm)

I think it's hard to find. I think it involves taking everything on a case-by-case basis and that's hard for people because we want to make rules about everything. We have bad experiences, or we're just plain selfish, and it distorts our vision of what's right. [Big talk for someone who ends up being very idealistic himself sometimes, but hey, he tries.]

But if you're being lazy-- if you're just making these big pronouncements and not even trying to curb your own corruption-- what's even the fucking point?

[He frowns. This seems to have struck a personal chord with him. Perhaps it says something about just how deep it goes that he doesn't have any angry off-the-cuff snark for him-- though he does sound angry when he responds.]

No. People can be in desperate situations. People can change.

Why? Why can they only get worse?

[Deciding that sounded way too obviously emotional, he follows it up for cover.]

You're saying a lot of big statements and not giving a whole lot of reasoning.

[personal profile] psychicpsycho 2014-08-13 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
What are you saying, it just makes them evil? That's bullshit.
psychicpsycho: (04 - Gettin' real tired of your bullshit)

[personal profile] psychicpsycho 2014-08-13 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
What's that supposed to mean? [What are you planning, Lunatic?]
psychicpsycho: (10 - Sour)

[personal profile] psychicpsycho 2014-08-13 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
What the fuck kind of-- [Ah. Cut off.

He shakes his head angrily, but the truth is, Lunatic's words have gotten to him. He stands up to leave his room and go out walking.]
