A low-tech declaration - Thursday morning

[veepofchess]

[Tacked on the inside entry doors of both dorm buildings for both schools. Typed, with what some might recognize as the flag of the Black Knights behind the words.]

Prisoners of Rakuen:

I am Zero. Some of you may know me, and would ally yourselves with me. Others would seek me out and have me unmasked. What I bring to you today, however, is unity. There is one unalienable truth that unites us all in ways we need only open our eyes to see.

That one truth is that we are all united in is that we are all prisoners of the Rakuen system. We are all forced to fight our friends, family, and loved ones, to unknown ends. We are all marionettes on the strings of a faceless puppeteer that uses his power over others to enslave them and force them to do his bidding.

But this has not always been the case. There are whispers about how the last session of this game ended. Freedom is possible for those that would stand and take it for themselves. The Prefects, the Headmistresses, and indeed, even the Mayor herself are all merely cogs in this machine.

And this machine is one I will tear down piece by piece and gear by gear until nothing remains. None will be left behind, and none that oppose me will find mercy. If you would join me, seek me out. If you would oppose me, then you endeavor to continue your own incarceration.

Dunno, he's always had a knack for flashy recruitment. Maybe people will join him.

[ people who aren't them, anyway. ] Suppose I'll have to go against him if he's set on startin' some kind of fight.

[herplaceinthesun]

Do you think it's a good thing, then?

[Aisha shrugs, she's not about to hook up with someone who won't show their face.] I hope you do better then than you did last time~ But seriously, be careful. Did you have to fight him back home, or do you remember?

[trollofthree]

It'll be interesting to watch... [ he doesn't run into too many memory blurs thinking about it, which is... promising? ] Ha, he was the most wanted guy in Britannia, before the end of the war. Might be a different guy, though. There were a few of 'em.

[herplaceinthesun]

Ooooh, going after criminals? Sounds like my kind of party! There was probably a system of them, or copy-cats.

This doesn't sound like a copy. [She claps her hands. This sounds like a mystery.]

I've always been on the side of . . . our Empire. My people's, I mean. But right now I'm on my own damn side. I don't like being threatened into agreeing with anyone, you know what I mean?

[trollofthree]

Right. It's better to work out your own reasons to fight, or it's kinda meaningless in the end. [ says the guy who only figured that out a year ago herp derp ]

[herplaceinthesun]

So, if this guy gets out of hand, you'll help me stop 'em, right? [She's just learning it herself, it's all good.]

Not that I disapprove of it entirely, but it seems like Zero might be a little full of himself. That's a bit dangerous~

[trollofthree]

He's definitely that! Sure, let's fight together. It's not as fun to go it alone, anyway.

[herplaceinthesun]

Awesome! Geez, this is more way interesting than the battling.
