Video | UN: aweful

[necroprince]

[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.

Best as I can.

[Now there was a lie, though it was easier to say it over text than if it had been voice or video.]

[martyrofduty]

Impressive.

[ It's hard to tell whether any sarcasm is intended in the single word over the network. Then again, it's harder to read it as sarcastic the truer the previous statement was. ]

[survivalthroughhate]

[Were it anyone else, Maul would have thought it was pure sarcasm. But it was very hard to tell with this man and his curious absence of life energy in the Force. Maul couldn't read Duty easily.]

Letting this go to any extent is new territory for me.

[martyrofduty]

It's good.

Consider their responses practice. Some people won't give a shit. Beat them by making progress. Then they're the fools.

[survivalthroughhate]

Good advice. I've heard it before. But it's much harder to follow when put into practice.

[martyrofduty]

I have a lot of practice personally.

Hmmm, you know how people often don't say what they mean?

[survivalthroughhate]

I do. It's irksome.

[Especially for Maul, who was often blunt to the point of outright rudeness most of the time, hating all the double-talk and lies people engaged in on a regular basis.]

[martyrofduty]

Those who curse your name tell you where they stand. It's honest, like you.

[survivalthroughhate]

[That--that was actually a good point. And yet--]

I don't mind people telling me where they stand with me so much as I do the veil of anonymity they do it behind.

[martyrofduty]

Tell them that, and let them tell you.

[survivalthroughhate]

I have. And all whoever is anonymous has shown is that they are a coward who has nothing but contempt for me.

[martyrofduty]

Perhaps. Perhaps they don't believe you. Prove it—with those not anonymous.

[survivalthroughhate]

............I'll consider it.

[That's about as good as it was gonna get with Maul as it is right now, feeling his back was up against the wall and with everyone ganging up on him.]

[martyrofduty]

All right, Maul.
