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.

[She huffs a laugh again.]

You are a bold one, I'll give you that. Pleased to meet you, Usagi.

[lightthedarkness]

So I've been told. But not sure what I did this time to get told that.

[necroprince]

I mentioned I'm a princess. Former princess technically, current prince. I can't say I'm used to people outright approaching me and declaring us friends all on their own.

[Usually people try not to approach the malnourished, sickly looking, resentful shadow of someone so beautiful and warm you'd have to be blind not to see her, especially when that resentful shadow happens to be one of the most powerful necromancers of her generation.]

It's certainly new, at least.

[lightthedarkness]

Oh, well lots of royalty has come through Deerington and Trench so I'm used to it, honestly. [Never mind what Usagi is, herself.] You being royal doesn't stop you from wanting friends, so I'm not about to go "oh, shouldn't do that cause she's a princess or prince."

I've befriended gods, too. We're always seeking out others in some form or fashion.

[survivalthroughhate]

My apologies for my enthusiastic best friend there. You can set your watch by how quickly she decides to aggressively become friends with new Sleepers.

[But this is said with an immense amount of fondness.]

Best just to go along with it really. She'll just wear you down into friendship otherwise.

[lightthedarkness]

I will never apologize for befriending people.

Besides, you love me and my aggressive friendshipping!

[survivalthroughhate]

I will only admit it was one of the best things to ever happen to me. I cannot speak for anyone else you have followed about and been a friend to until they were forced to be one back.

[lightthedarkness]

I don't force people to be my friend. That's not being a very good friend if I did. And before you use yourself as an example, I did not force you... We just weirdly kept running into one another and it worked out that way.

[survivalthroughhate]

Yes, the Pthumerian group therapy sessions were good for something after all in Deerington. I had never had anyone be as nice to me right from the start in such a long time. Not since I was young and at school.

[lightthedarkness]

All the more reason to keep doing it, as far as I can tell.

[survivalthroughhate]

It has had some effect on me. Still deciding if it is for good or ill.

[Lies. He knows it's been good for him, he just doesn't want to admit it.]

[lightthedarkness]

Nope, I know you like it~ Or I'd be a part of that list.

[survivalthroughhate]

Oh, hush, and focus on the new friend you're making right now. If they turn out to be evil incarnate, I'm sure you'll get them on the right path within a year.

[lightthedarkness]

You have first-hand knowledge of my skills, so I'll take that as a compliment.
