04 > VIDEO - I Want To Know More About You

[databoner]

[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.]

[dragony]

You know there's only like... Three hundred of us, at the most, right? None of us have been around for more than fourteen months.

How exactly are we responsible for the government machine that was fully operational before any of us arrived here?

[glowsferatu]

You werent the first imports to come to this world either

[dragony]

So? What difference does that make? Is there any other overlap between them and us, besides title? Are any of our number mimics of those who came before?

[glowsferatu]

Whatever point youre trying to make is moot
Because what youre arguing against isnt what Im saying
Though there is the matter of Salvatore Quisma so thats one

But have you read this worlds history
This current government is the result of import reformation over 20 years ago
Not whatever youre talking about

[dragony]

Yeah, again, "reforms" that happened decades before we got here are not our responsibility.

Don't play so stupid, Kanaya. You're really bad at it.

[glowsferatu]

How dare you accuse me of being among the number of such irredeemable monsters!!
I would never be guilty of crimes like hers

[dragony]

Uh-huh. That's exactly how you would describe yourself now, anyway, isn't it? I've known you for how many years, now? Do you really think I wouldn't recognize you in plain text?

You could have tried using some more punctuation, at least.

[glowsferatu]

[ punctuation is for nerds. ]

If Im supposedly her
Why would she consent to the information being released

1/2

[dragony]

Why wouldn't you? You've confessed to it before. And on top of that...

[dragony]

"For all of these [crimes], the most the local authorities have seen fit to do is stick me in a room alone without my powers. Which is really great, I must say. Wonderful to know that we feed and house our criminals when law-abiding residents have no such amenities."

Between the self-loathing and that, if you're not her, maybe you should try harder to sound less like a "monster."

[glowsferatu]

But why would I
If I were she
Allow him to release any of this about Rose

[ why did she? how could she? hasn't she put her through enough already? ]

[dragony]

[ Him, huh? ]

Sometimes it's easier to hurt the ones we love than anyone else.

Besides, "underage drinking" isn't a big deal, and "dated a criminal" is more damaging to you than it is to her.

[glowsferatu]

Perhaps not to the public at large
But with the effect it would have on her
Why did I do that

[dragony]

If you weren't Kanaya, you wouldn't be thinking this deeply about it.

As for why you would... I don't know. I can't say I know much about your relationship.

[glowsferatu]

[ she doesn't respond to this again, there's no way to really save face from it. ]

not here;

[dragony]

[ victory finger pistols.gif

you know

if she ever did that sort of thing...

instead just squinting and wishing Karkat was still around... he probably wouldn't have known what to say, but he would have said it very loudly. ]

audio | id reads "power girl"

[boobwindow]

Kanaya, if this is really you... what on earth are you doing?

text, anon

[glowsferatu]

It isnt
And Im doing exactly as was stated already
Informing the public of just how dangerous imports are
How irresponsible it is to allow them to have the powers they do unchecked

[boobwindow]

Most of these imPorts didn't ask for these powers.

Whoever you are, Kanaya or not, you're not helping anyone by leaking this information. You're going to endanger people.

[glowsferatu]

And I suppose the people who have suffered at the hands of imports certainly asked for that by contrast havent they
It doesnt matter whether imports asked for them or not
They have to be dealt with because people are endangered already and its irresponsible of you to ignore that
Right now Im proposing a peaceful method of settling the threat
Dont force us to consider the alternative

[boobwindow]

You can't decide the extreme actions of a few paints all imPorts in the same negative light! Do we need to own up to our failures, though? Yes, I absolutely agree. No, we are not doing our best for each other. Too many imPorts barely have an idea what to do with their powers, let alone control them.

But it's irresponsible of you and whoever the other is to publicize this information! You're not solving a problem! You're adding to it!

And — [ She cuts herself off and there's a muffled groan. ] I am not arguing like this.

[ Good lord though, they succeeded in riling her up too easily. ]

[glowsferatu]

It isnt just each other you arent doing your best for
Your own are the only people imports seem to look after at all
Any collateral damage among the natives is only ever downplayed
Do you know a single name among the many who have suffered since imports returned to this world

[boobwindow]

I just said I'm not having this argument anymore!

Now show your face or I'm going to have to find it myself!

[glowsferatu]

You dont dictate the terms of this discussion
Just because you dont want to have this argument doesnt mean Ill just surrender and give in to your demands
Are you dense

[boobwindow]

When I said "each other", I wasn't referring to just imPorts.

But I'm guessing that doesn't matter to you. So which Hornet are you?

[ Or if it's Kanaya... what the hell has she gotten into now? ]

... no, forget it. I'm not wasting my breath. Don't think you can hide forever.

[ Disconnects. Time to do some digging. ]
