locked to meridian + ota
[Hayame had plenty to say about this disgraceful farce the moment she had regained consciousness... But she waited. She waited, so that her emotions would be as locked down and as under control as she could manage. Until only harsh anger and the burn of judgement come through- at least, for now.
First, she addresses only Meridian.]
I hope you are proud of yourself.
Those of you who have been too weak to commit properly to this cause, content to let those with drive and will do the winning of Oracles on your and your world's behalf.
Those of you who claim allegiance to Meridian but have been content to play "neutral" and hide like a weak little bug in the shadow of those more powerful than you.
Those of you who could not draw a single line in the sand and loved playing friend or whore too much to break off relations with people working to ensure that the lives of everyone in your world are snuffed out permanently.
Those of you who have refused to shatter the shards of our enemies, whining about the sanctity of a soul, even though that is the only way to kill someone properly in this twisted world.
Mourn that sun goddess for the power she possessed that our faction has lost. Mourn the kindness she showed you, if you so wish. But I will impart a lesson unto you- If someone is kind to everyone, then their kindness means absolutely nothing. That empty-headed fool of a woman had her shard shattered by the very man whose shard she protected, after I and another killed him in the labyrinth of the Harbinger Oracle trial. If she had given that foul thing back to us so that I might crush it beneath my hoof, then she would be alive today.
That is what kindness of that nature will reap you. A disgraceful public execution at the hands of a wizened, corpse-gnawing gaki barely managing the veneer of a man.
If you wish to dedicate yourself further to the actual cause you claim to serve, or if you wish to train and empower yourself, I will gladly help you. It would be my honor.
But if your plan is to continue living the sort of shameful existence that helped allow for the assassination of Springstar's Tribune at his own godsdamned home, then either purge yourself of that treacherous weakness... or I will try to find the time in my days to do it for you.
[Maybe this is where she could stop, take a breath... But she does not. The rest, cold and hateful and roiling with anger, is said to everyone, Zenite and Unharmonized alike.]
To all those who still claim allegiance to Zenith... I will not waste breath trying to convince you of anything at all, let alone now, after what your faction has wrought upon countless innocents. Whether you are a poor thing who would abandon every life in your world simply because you were treated badly, whether you are a pathetic thing who cannot muster the will to hope for anything but that sacred bitch on high and a committee of degenerates making a new world for you to exist in, or whether you are a sick thing who delights in watching worlds burn and people die... I, Hayame of Echigo, do not care, and I will not show mercy to one any more than the other.
Unlike, it seems, the many dishonorable among you, I say this to you plainly and clearly.
I will disable you if I see you step foot in Springstar.
I will hunt down your cornerstones and smash them to pieces.
And I will kill you if you put yourself between me and the possibility of returning to my world and my duty.
... Ah, yes. To those of you who have still not chosen a side, even after seeing what has occurred this moon... My advice to you is to stay Unharmonized, to pick up a hoe, and to go tend crops in Alenroux. You obviously lack the determination required for this conflict... and the people require food. Go on.
If you need a recommendation for a farmer looking for labor, I know plenty. Do you fancy turnips, or buckwheat?

no subject
[ Anyway. ]
[ Her response is quiet, fixed, more metallic and unmoving. The flames of anger for the moment withered from what could be exhaustion as she answers: ]
I believe we have recovered what bodies we may. Focus can shift entirely to rebuilding efforts.
[ Which she is also not going to give up on. :'/ At least for the moment, Springstar is her home and she will protect that home; The intensity of that decision is there. ] It will take time we do not have.
no subject
Springstar is a city with many citizens. I know we lost many to the indiscriminate attacks from Kowloon's thugs, but if someone could manage them effectively in regards to rebuilding...
We shard-bearers must prepare for the next Oracle. And... how to counter and defend against any more of Zenite's shard-bearers encroaching upon Springstar, no matter what they claim their so-called business here is.
no subject
[ She says it quickly, perhaps a little too quickly. ]
Just as I will be prepared for the next Oracle and throw out any Zenite I see lingering around here.
no subject
[She has experience. That is a good thing. Especially when applied to Meridian.]
I have been advocating for this since months past, and for some reason it has never been heeded. That is likely how Zenith knew where to find the Tribune, how to get those freaks from Kowloon to the surface, and where...
Any Zenith seen in Springstar should be killed.
Or at least taken into custody.
no subject
It does not matter they're helping today when tomorrow they will see anything we stand for killed.
[ Which is why she thinks it's stupid that so many Zeniths will have claimed to help Springstar during the attack. Why? That's actively working against their own faction's direction - either be loyal to your side or fuck off. ]
I will detain them and if they struggle they will not enjoy their time.
[ But, she will not kill them if she can help it. Honestly, being the biggest sadist in the galaxy comes with some skills in that regard, right? ]
no subject
I do not care if they are friendly to our faces or espouse some sort of desire for peace. If they fight or move for Zenith, they fight or move to rob us of our worlds.
[And she is really hoping people see that now.]
I rest slightly easier knowing you think the same.
[Even if Nebula won't kill them... she will take detainment.]
I will be doing similar.
[So it's a deal.]
