open | an alenroux press release

[A couple weeks after the conclusion of the Exalt Oracle trial, a communion message goes out to all Kenos’s shard-bearers — at a brisk mid-morning hour for Springstar residents, and evening for those night owls in Highstorm. Surely an agreeable enough time for all, yes? The voice will be familiar enough to anyone who listened in on the ambassador talk a Kenos month ago; it’s Liem, mayor of Alenroux Meridian’s resident straight man.]

Greetings, everyone. I have some updates to share regarding efforts to make Alenroux fully and safely inhabitable, which I hope you will be pleased to hear.

Last month, prior to the events surrounding the Oracle, a contingent of Springstar military overseen by several shard-bearers launched a multi-pronged expedition north into Alenroux’s forests, in order to locate the source of the monsters that continue to infest the woods. While I’m sure those of you who frequent Alenroux will have noticed that the flow of especially dangerous, augmented creatures mostly died off after the dismantling of Aetós’s underground facility, we have not been able to expunge the general monster population from the forest despite ongoing efforts, so this was an attempt to remedy that.

These expeditionary forces succeeded in locating three separate cornerstones and portals that were previously disgorging monsters. At this time we think it likely that they were connected to the timestream in some way that allowed creatures from other worlds to come through, but the portals themselves proved extremely hazardous to life attempting to breach from this side. All three have now been destroyed, and while we cannot say with certainty that there are no further portals out there, we are optimistic that this will allow the danger to those living in Alenroux to be further reduced by the joint forces still stationed there.

If you have further questions, you may direct them to me, or to Hayame, Akua Sahelian, Keitaro Miura, Gray, Byleth Eisner, Link, Kim Dokja, or Dee. [He means D.]

The congratulations of a demon are not needed here.

Begone.

[Is Liem not actively talking to him? She doesn't give af!!!]

Well, seeing as they have already been given, I would say it is too late for that.

[ Why do you have to be such a hater, gosh!!! Though he’s not actually bothered by her harshness at all, naturally. ]

May I not even commend people for a job well done? That is quite sensitive of you.

Commendations have no value when they are given insincerely. They become what may as well be mockery by their very existence.

So swallow them, and begone.

Oh, how cruel. What makes you think my praise is insincere?

[ You can practically hear the smirk in his voice, but that’s because he’s trying to get a rise out of her. His praise is sincere in the sense that he respects good work, and at least Liem had deigned to share useful information. What’s not to praise? But he’ll also gladly make it seem insincere to be a bully, so. ]

I did not allocate the time for an entire series of lectures in my schedule today.

You know why it is.

[Because he is a demon, and he has practically admitted he does not care at all what becomes of any of them, of their worlds, of anything as long as he has his fun. So the words of someone with no real investment in the cause, with no real care for the stakes... It's-]

So take your trash and go. I will not repeat myself.

I will not.

[ Blunt! It's in fact far blunter than he normally is, since he's feeling rather confident when it comes to Hayame. Wonder why! ]

I have my questions, and so long as at least some Meri see fit to answer them, I shall remain. If that displeases you, perhaps it is you who should "leave".
