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.

"Almost a year" isn't a year.

And I want to stress that you got off very, very easy.

[survivalthroughhate]

My tolerance level for lectures from perfect Jedi on how I've messed up yet again is waning. If that's all you're here to do, save your energy and self-righteousness both.

[hopesparks]

I'm not lecturing you. I'm warning you.

[survivalthroughhate]

Young Jedi, I will give you a piece of advice that most Jedi should take: stay out of things that you don't know the full story behind. This has been going on since long before the two of us washed up in Trench. If you want to start something, I will gladly oblige you. Otherwise? Leave. It. Alone.

[hopesparks]

I don't care about your past. You forced a bond on someone against their will. That's the full story.

I'm not interested in feuding, but I will step in if you pull something like that again on anyone.

[Normally Maul would have been more willing to let the words go or at least approach the conversation in a less hostile tone. But he was in a bad temper at the moment and feeling like everyone was ganging up on him.]

ONCE. I did that ONCE! Am I going to be condemned forever in everyone's eyes for a single mistake?

So much for the so-called "compassion" of the Jedi.

[hopesparks]

[ Anakin is just as unwilling to let it go. ]

1) You're overstating things. You're being held accountable for your actions, not cast out from society.

2) Compassion isn't blind forgiveness and trust.

[survivalthroughhate]

The way most people act around here, the only suitable punishment for me would be being burned at the stake alive. That's about as close to being cast out as it gets.

I don't ask people to trust me. I ask for the same chances given to the other pathetic wretches here that mess up and then try to better.

[hopesparks]

Literally no one has said anything about burning you alive. You are, at worst, being verbally roasted. And a handful of people not wanting anything to do with you isn't the same as being cast out from society.

Giving someone another chance requires trust. Eventually, trust will run out and so will chances.

[survivalthroughhate]

[Maul ignored the first part of that message, the same way he ignored anything in his life that didn't fit the narrow point-of-view he'd cultivated for himself about the world around him. The second....]

Considering you have none of my trust, I suppose that says where I stand with you. Shameful. Hasn't anyone ever given you a second chance when you really messed up?

[hopesparks]

Oh no you don't trust me. My heart is broken.

Yes, but the difference is that I admit my wrongdoing and don't blame other people for my problems. I'm responsible for my actions and reactions, just like you are.

I make my amends and move on.

[survivalthroughhate]

I made my amends. I apologized and I've felt bad enough about it not to do it ever again. For someone who doesn't feel remorse, that's enormous steps for me.

I don't respond to threats, taunts, ridicule, or contempt. All that does is make me angry and when I'm angry I don't care to try to do better. Take a note from your uncle's book and try patience or kindness if you truly want to get a better response out of me.
