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
[He seems to be quick to annoy this person, but she was correct. He had made an assumption, but he didn't actually know the full details. Hiiro usually isn't the type to really ask about these things, after all.
She probably isn't serious about the partial deafness, but a flash of worry still bleeds into there, at the idea that she might have actually gone deaf.]
But I am worried. You did not actually go partially deaf, did you?
no subject
No, I did not.
I nearly lost an eye and my leg was crushed.
[Wait, didn't he see her wearing an eyepatch already before? Nevermind!]
But I am healed now, and just as strong as I need to be to go through with everything I promised in my announcement.
no subject
Do you plan on destroying Zenith entirely?
[Is he okay with that? To be honest, this wasn't his war as he hasn't chosen a side, and in truth, he has seen the extent of the damage done to the citizens who aligned with Meridian. There is no judgment from him, nor condemnation. A sort of understanding for the reason, even if he doesn't agree with going through with it.]
Are all of Meridian of the same mind?
no subject
[She has been called cruel many times by members of her own faction... But she does not think she is. This is war. And unlike some, particularly some she would love to name on the Zenith side... She took no particular joy or arousal from the act of killing. A sense of satisfaction, if she herself had been wronged, or she had proven herself, but...]
If that must include others, like those who support those Zenith shard-bearers, or even my fellow Meridian if they provide succor and sympathy to our enemies instead of loyalty to Springstar...
Then so be it.
[But as for the other Meridian-]
Unfortunately... my fellows are sometimes weaklings and cowards. So no, they are not all of the same mind.
no subject
Umu. That does make sense. If everyone isn't convinced of a cause, it would be difficult to move forward. That might be the main challenge right now.
[Perhaps that is an odd thing for him to say, especially since he waffled for so long. If anything, he doesn't agree to hurting unrelated people, but people who are in the way of doing the right thing...]
I plan on joining Meridian, so that would make us allies soon. I may become a nuisance, but I hope you will teach me how to become a proper Meridian.
no subject
[All these upstarts who think they know things!*
* Which is the opinion of this bitchy mad centaur lady, not her player!!!]
But I will still teach you, if there is something required in you that is in me to provide. Otherwise, I will refer you elsewhere.
Once you commit properly... I expect to hear what it is you think needs improving before the next Oracle appears.
no subject
Umu! Thank you. I will do my best not to disappoint.
[Or continue disappointing. He might take a while to acclimate to the emotions that will come once he chooses a path.]
