WHO "Adra" & YOU
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!
ACTION Starstruck or waystations.
WHEN Tomorrow, April 19th. (Which means post-shuffle.)

Okay, as it turns out... it's really hard to get in contact with people when you don't have their names or their ships or their numbers. But—I'm trying this responsibility thing and I want to give those powers back. The ones I had to borrow last week? But I can't find any of you! Good job. Bunch of winners here.

[ SIGH. ]

Right, okay, I'm not who I look like, either. Not... Adra. Actually asked him beforehand, too, so fuck off about that. But if you gave your powers away last week, that was me. Let's see... Allen, Katara, and, uh, two short blondes. About so-high. [ Yep, there's a motion here for Steffa and Shirley's heights. SURPRISE, SHIRLEY. ] Let me know where you are, and I'll give them back. Like I said I would.

Well, congrats on getting there, I guess. [ Someone's bitter and it's obvious. There's no such hope of working his way up in public. ]

Stability isn't exactly easy to come by.

A year ago I would not have suggested this, but... sometimes, you can find stability in other people.

Other people are why I can't use my own face.

[arcanepower]

Are those other people here? Because, personally, I don't give a whit what you really look like. It can't be any worse than having fel-tainted eyes.

[He leans forward.]

You should be whatever you need to be. And if someone gives you trouble, set them on fire.

[mysterzie]

I don't even know what fel-tainted is. Does anyone even give a fuck about that?

[ Belth's point




his head ]

Haha! Now that would be a power worth keeping.

[arcanepower]

Yes, they do. That's what I have, and what Adra has. They mark us as blood elves. We're tainted by residual demonic energy so people automatically write us off as corrupted or evil or something else. [It's a big deal to him.] The ones who are not fel-touched act like they are above reproach, and they will kill us given the chance.

But, no. No one cares here. They should not care about your face, either.

[mysterzie]

So even if while you were here you could hide all that shit that would get you killed back home, you wouldn't do it? Because nobody here cares? What if any of the not-touched ones showed up?

[arcanepower]

I can defend myself. And if I can't for some reason-- I know the people on my ship wouldn't stand for it.

[He shakes his head.]

I don't like lying. It might solve problems for a short while, but they always come back threefold and worse.

[mysterzie]

It's worked for me so far.

[ Nice as their talk is, he is too set in his ways to change anything for the near future. ]

And sometimes there just isn't a truth, anyway.
