[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.

Because that's not what happened, and I know it wasn't your fault, and I have, in the past, told people that when asked? The truth does mean something. To most people, anyway. But like you said - it's fair turnaround, right?

[survivalthroughhate]

The truth? Truth is a narrative people use when it's convenient for them. Few people care about it no matter what they say. Most of the time, people have as much care for truth as they do for what's blown out of their nose.

[frogfear]

Truth - genuine truth, not just someone's interpretation of it, is one of the very few constants in this place. No matter what you or I tell people about each other, it doesn't change what actually happened.

[survivalthroughhate]

That is the type of truth people are interested in hearing or believing about least of all.

[frogfear]

You don't give people enough credit. I think most prefer the truth over being misled.

[survivalthroughhate]

I see them clearly enough. It's optimistic fools like you who see the good in those around them.

[frogfear]

It's not even a matter of seeing the good in people - most people don't like being played for a fool, or being lied to. Especially if they feel like they're being manipulated. I bet that goes for you too even.

[survivalthroughhate]

I've been manipulated my whole life. That's how I know people lie all the time. Truth is nothing but a point-of-view to be used any way someone sees fit.
