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.]

And what issue is there to take with them
More than that would there even be a list of targets that no issue would be taken with by someone
If we could have listed every import we would
Even those who dont intend to be dangerous can be made into the weapon of someone

[rathercommon]

Yeah, except that that could be said of anyone. Even you. I mean, if I knew who you were, I could probably draw up a really threatening-looking profile of you. Apply a few green filters to your portrait, use threatening-looking fonts, and then talk about how do we REALLY know who the Hornets are? It's just basic fearmongering, really. Truth's well and good, yeah. But you're just using manipulation to make a lot of kids look frightening.

[glowsferatu]

If you wanted to Freddie Lounds it sure
But the problem with the both of you is youre so concerned with getting attention that you arent concerned with reality
Everything listed here is a legitimate fact
The difference is that we actually know who these people are
So Im sorry if youd rather just ignore how many of your peers are guilty of murder and genocide
But that only displays that you are part of the problem
No surprise that you turn out useless

[rathercommon]

I'm not ignoring people who are guilty of murder and genocide. I'm saying that listing up people's vulnerabilities (because, REALLY, we're supposed to hate a girl for the fact that she could be taken over by a powerful creature? THAT'S clearly blaming the victim) or associations (because yes, OBVIOUSLY having a loved one in jail makes you SO wicked) and pretending like that's some hard-hitting truth is complete rubbish. It's fearmongering.

I mean, really, are you even SERIOUS with that first one? Oh, yes, the imPorts, how dare they have been traumatized at some point in their lives. How dare they be prone to panic and unhappiness. Do you actually think you're going to reach ANYONE when you bloody lead with that crap?

[glowsferatu]

[ kitty isn't wrong, really. somewhere kanaya recognizes this, but nick isn't about to relent. ]

No blaming the victim would be to say those planets shouldnt have been in the things way
If this isnt blaming to killer it would be blaming the gun if anything
But youre clearly more concerned about the killer than the dead

But the point youre missing is that this is only a sample of treatment that all imports deserve
Because the danger is present even in those who dont choose to spread it
As long as imports have powers those powers pose a danger to this world

[rathercommon]

Guns are inanimate. A girl isn't. A girl forced to hurt people is a victim.

But OK. I see what you're saying. So you'd hate the government even if we hadn't shown up, right?

[glowsferatu]

A girl forced to hurt people is a weapon
You dont know that as well as we do

[rathercommon]

[ She narrows her eyes a little bit. Weird... ]

Maybe I don't, no. But I don't know all that many who have been forced to hurt people, I guess.

[glowsferatu]

You wouldnt
You lack the experience for it

[rathercommon]

What about you?

[glowsferatu]

Would I be talking about it if I suffered the same lack

[rathercommon]

Maybe...After all, sometimes we talk about our friends. It might possibly be a friend of yours who suffered. But it was you?

[glowsferatu]

Maybe me maybe a friend
Maybe someone I had to stop
The point is I have plenty of experience with it
What does that matter

[rathercommon]

I just want to learn a bit more.

Who was it who forced you to do that?

[glowsferatu]

What kind of idiot do you take me for
Im not here to tell you stories

[rathercommon]

I don't want stories. I'd just like to know where you're coming from.

[glowsferatu]

Im not here to waste my time either

[rathercommon]

I'm an imPort. You've got the chance to reach me and change my mind. Isn't that something you'd like to do?

[glowsferatu]

Should I be asking again what kind of an idiot you take me for
Because you arent even a third as clever as you seem to have deluded yourself to believe
And Im through wasting my time

[rathercommon]

OK. I'm not lying, though. I do just want to know more about you.

[glowsferatu]

[ which is, of course, the problem. and why she doesn't respond. ]
