Who: you!
Broadcast: video
Action: Marsiva
When: right now tbh

[when the screen turns on, there's nothing but blackness for a few minutes, followed by a string of very angry-sounding curses. There's the sound of fumbling before a woman's face comes into frame, and she squints at the camera before her eyebrows turn down in a scowl.

Someone is not happy]

If this is supposed to be some sort of joke, then I am not laughing. Though I find it rather cute that you seem to have made your walls fire-proof.

We shall see what else your bloody ship can stand up to. Return my damn weapons.

[that's it, that's all she has to say. With a huff, she fumbles and manages to end the feed]

[experiencepoints]

I mean, I was never the social one, but compared to... Kaito constantly getting chased by Aoko, Vetoed had a reputation for explosions, shit like that. Yeah, you were the reasonable one.

[noprophecies]

. . .

[should she argue this or accept it as it is]

I would not say reasonable, but I was not in trouble nearly as much as they were, mm.

[experiencepoints]

Comparatively reasonable, then.

[noprophecies]

I threatened to kill the Cats. Twice. I would not call that reasonable.

[experiencepoints]

... What, all of them?

[noprophecies]

With the exception of Aoko, yes. I did not want them in our dorm after that one terrible game.

[experiencepoints]

... Let's... not talk about that game.

[She just looks away from the camera at that.]

[noprophecies]

Oh, certainly. I'd rather not as well.

[it still made her so mad, months later]

[experiencepoints]

Yeah.

... We're supposedly being watched by enough people that, even if I don't really believe that, I still try to avoid talking about Echoes in general.

[noprophecies]

Oh, so they are voyeurs as well as cowards? [she huffs out, annoyed] That is smart, though. If I must speak of them, I try not to refer to them by name.

[experiencepoints]

I try to as well, and if I can avoid it, describing them at all. I don't know exactly how they gain power, after all. Is it the name specifically, or anything about them?

[noprophecies]

I do not know either, unfortunately. Which is why I try to be . . . what is the phrase? Safer than sorry?

[experiencepoints]

That's the one, yeah. And I agree.

[noprophecies]

They took enough, I think. I'd rather not give anything else if I can help it.
