[Oh look, a new post on the imPort communicator! Although this time, there seems to be no ID attached to the post, it's entirely anonymous. It's pretty late at night on the 25th, surely some people will be up.]

Heroes.

How safe do you really think you are?

Do you think your secrets are really your own?

The truth will always be found out.

You don't belong here, and you know it.

The people here deserve better than what you, and the Government can give them. They deserve the truth about their saviors...

Within the next 12 hours, this information and more will be shared with the public. For a group of "heroes," there is quite a lot of blood spilled under your name, isn't there?

Do you know how much damage you've done?

The actual toll you've taken on this world?

Half a billion is taken out of the pocket of the civilians you've "saved" to cover damages, freebies, and those Swear-In ceremonies. Money that could be put towards so many other things; poverty, food shortages, housing for those people who really need it. Like parasites, you take from the host and give nothing back.

And all for what? So that the Government can hope to convince you to be their personal weapons of warfare. After all, you're the only kind of weapon they have that they can simply bring back to life should you die. Those nanites in every single imPort body ensure that.

So Heroes.

Do you think you can really make this world a better place, with all of the baggage you have tying you down? Maybe there is a chance you can do some good… But you need to first remove the threads that hold you to the deception being administered.

[OOC: Aaaand Inumuta is currently infected with the Hornet's Mind Clone of Miguel Rodriguez right now! So he's not exactly himself at the moment. Right now, Inumuta's doing the whole anonymous schtick, but if any hackers/people capable of tracking him down do any digging whatsoever, they'll find him. He's intentionally not covering his tracks as well as he could have because as a Hornet, he isn't shying away from any jabs he can get at Imports.

So, action is possible, but please try to coordinate with other players in this! Feel free to threadjack, whatever!

Side note: Please forgive my typos, and I'm sorry for the poor choice in pictures for some characters, if I used a picture you don't like and want a new one, send me a link. Also also, I will update this post with a few more characters once I hear back from a few people to get their final approval from my plotting post.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

OK.

Did you do what's listed there?

Yeah. It's all true.

And before you ask, yes, they're all things I've done with full knowledge and awareness. Nobody controlled me, or coerced me to do them.

When did all that happen? Here, at home, in the City?

The City.

Well, to be more specific, one of those was in New Vesuvius, which was a version of the City on a separate Earth, but it was still before we arrived here.

Although, I suppose the associations could be all of them, actually.

OK.

Can I ask what the circumstances of those incidents were?

Why?

Are you trying to figure out what kind of person I am?

Not really. It's more that I'm trying to figure out how honest this person is being. There are ways to lie using the truth, after all, and people are all to happy to do that to win over people to their cause. I want to know if that's what's going on.

For me, it's exactly as described. The names and circumstances don't change much.

[ Other than... make them slightly more reasonable... ]

They were things that had to be done. That's all. ]

Why?

The only people something like that matters to, it would be the ones I committed those crimes against. And neither are in much position to care, even if I wanted to apologize.

That's not exactly true, though. Your actions are being used to paint the rest of us as mad or worse. If they weren't truly evil acts, then we should know that so that we can at least defend ourselves from those accusations.

We are far more dangerous than anyone has ever accused us of being, Kitty. That is the truth, and there is no defense against that.

I'm not going to let you, or anyone else, try to excuse what I've done, and you're wasting your time for trying.

[ Huff. ]

I'm not trying to excuse what you've done. I'm trying to figure out what the truth of what happened was. And I'm perfectly aware of how dangerous we are, thanks, I'm not a bloody imbecile.

Really? You could have fooled me. You're more concerned about the way we look than what we are. Poison is still poison, no matter the shape of the bottle.

I decided they needed to die, so they did. That's all there is to it.

[ DO U REALLY FUCKIN WANNA TALK TO HER ABOUT POISON RN ]

Crap.

I would say I'm sorry, that the truth doesn't suit your agenda, but that would be dishonest.

Find your heroes somewhere else.

Stop being a twit. I'm not looking for heroes.

Look. I just spent a full bloody week locked up in an underground bunker, and then in a hospital after I was nearly murdered, because I'm part of a group that the Hornets have decided are awful. So PLEASE don't think that you can lecture me about me being concerned with our image. I've not done anything to hurt a single one of them, nor any of the people here, but I got lumped in with everyone else because of our image. Our image bloody well matters. I'm still getting sick if I smell food, that's how much it matters. So try to stop being so self-involved for thirty seconds.

My answer isn't going to change, no matter how many times you ask. Get as pissed off as you want about it, but it's pointless.

I'm sick of repeating myself.

Isn't that nice? You do love yourself quite to an excessive degree, don't you?

Ah yes, because insulting me is going to make me change my mind.

How much clearer can I make this? Stop fucking asking me for a different answer. You're not getting one.

That wasn't an insult. You love yourself. You love your secrets and your lies. You think they're more important than the ability of those around you to understand what we're being attacked for.

Well, you're zero for three, and an idiot on top of that. The answer is still no.

Leave me alone.

The fact that you also know yourself really badly doesn't make ME an idiot.

No, it's your constant and consistent wrong conclusions and idiotic strategies that do. You don't need any help from me to accomplish that.

[ Sometimes she regrets texting, because there's no real satisfying way to let the other person know you're hanging up.

Oh well. ]
