Video | UN: aweful

[She’s been here for over a week now. Time to get the lay of the land. The video opens up to a particularly tall blonde woman with a golden skeletal arm and a smirk. She's here to cause problems on purpose.]

Greetings, hello, salutations. My name is Ianthe Naberius. I’m new in town, twenty two, a princess of Ida, unfortunately single and dreadfully bored!

Now, I come to you today, not only to introduce myself, but to ask something of all of you.

Who do you hate most in Trench and why? I’m trying to meet people, network, but it’s so hard and overwhelmingly positive! So consider this an open invitation. Warn me about that dangerous scoundrel who kicked your puppy, seethe about how much you despise me for whatever reason, tell me about your parasocial hateful fixation on one of the local divinity. It can be a minor slight you want to complain about, a friend of yours who owes you two perfectly intact human skulls, or it can be an actual danger to this lovely little community of ours.

Now, before you try to say “this is childish and stupid!” You’re absolutely right, but it is a necessary part of self care to allow oneself to be an absolute cunt once in a while. [Or all the time, if your name is Ianthe.] So let’s not make any grand claims to being above something like this, mm?

Feel free to use the anonymity feature. Or the privacy feature, I guess, if you’re shy or worried about being fileted like a fish.

Oh. You're another one.

Your sister probably hates me because I don't take kindly to unreasonable assaults or abductions. I'm just a man, but I'm no fool.

If I'm doing the math correct then: your smaller sister seems well mannered enough, and your brother is fascinating to talk to if you know the right subjects. But, as I said: I'm already spoken for.

... You should be careful about Mariana. Your boss got a shot on her like I did to you sister, and she isn't very happy about it.

Even if it's not personal, I prefer not to engage with her if possible.

Her exact whereabouts are unknown to me. That's fine: I'm not sure I can blindside her again in the future.

Re: The Reverend Daughter, she reminds me a little of the student I was when I was younger. Someone that is a little too book smart to know what to do with people and how to gracefully disengage if they're too much to handle in the moment. That's fine.

It was hell to learn that lesson, but it was worth the effort.

It was a compliment, not a dismissal.

The people who dismissed me came to regret it. I'd never just dismiss anyone as being Shy.

The sweetest cat still has it's bite. Especially if it's a skeletal cat.

Ianthe Naberius, you said? Those are the names of an ocean nymph and a Marquess in Hell. Fascinating name.

Call me Athena. I suspect we'll meet in person some day.
