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.

You're really brave, Sora. I wish I could be as brave as you.

[ no jade don't put yourself down. ] Honestly, I think you're a lot braver than me, Jade!

[greenspaces]

[ She looks surprised, and then looks at the floor, full of shame. ]

Brave people don't tell their friends not to talk to them any more. That's what scared people do.

[ nope angst not allowed here have some hugs ] You can't be brave if you're not scared. Even the knights in the stories were afraid... but they're courageous because they go forward anyway. I'm not really that brave 'cause I'm too thick-headed to know when I'm in danger... or, that's what my friend used to say.

No, you're really strong, and you stick up for people... [ And hugs, she hasn't had a hug in forever (since last week), so have some sniffles. ] I got scared, so I hurt someone on purpose. And I made them cry.
