I'm no good at speeches. Louis is far better at them than I am - but with him gone I feel that it's my duty to pick up his slack.

[It still stings a little to speak of his disappearance, but Aleph has had worse pains.]

Not because I need to intimidate the administrators. Not because I need to curse them. They know already what their crimes are. But everyone trapped in this tower needs to hear this right now.

Every tyrant falls. Every regime is overthrown, every cruel fist is shaken off. No matter how powerful, how old, or how deeply entrenched.

You know how many of us there are, and our numbers continue to grow. And with every new captive comes a new hope for freedom. Among us are those stronger than you can imagine, those wiser than you can dream of, those skilled beyond belief - those who may not have the power to escape on their own, but will risk everything together to bring down those who would seek to torture us.

With so many of us who are so strong, freedom is an inevitability.

It's getting closer. Even if we don't know when, I know we're approaching it.

[doesnotgetit]

This might be a bit of a setback, though. Dax was trying to help us, wasn't he? Without him, we don't know what the tower will be like now.

[Let it be known that however dumb Hakuno may seem, she also has surprisingly sharp moments!]

I... I still don't think helping others find their way out of this tower is impossible. It might just have been set back a bit. Until we can figure out if this changes things at all.

[video]

[alephbet]

...I know. But even without him, we're still not alone.

[video]

[doesnotgetit]

Is this a "we still have each other" kind of not alone, or a hint that there's a chance that one of the other administrators might have a change of heart?

[video]

[alephbet]

Either one, really.

[video]

[doesnotgetit]

Do you really think there's a chance of one of them helping us, after... [A look of disgust briefly crosses her face, before she shakes her head to rid herself of the images displayed on the network earlier.] After what happened to Dax?

[video]

[alephbet]

I don't know. But I don't think they're going to be as keen on Ruana either.

[video]

[doesnotgetit]

Yeah, I can only imagine. Knowing the big boss in charge will have no trouble eating you will sour anyone's attitude towards them...

[video]

[alephbet]

I wouldn't want to be in their shoes either.

[video]

[doesnotgetit]

Who would, really.

Though I do doubt that display affected Jason that much. From what I've heard about him, I bet he probably enjoyed it.

[video]

[alephbet]

I'm sure there are a few people who would enjoy the threat of that being done to them. Very few.

[video]

[doesnotgetit]

... Who could possibly enjoy something disgusting like that being done to them?

[... Why is her mind suddenly drifting to the Lancer she fought? Urk, no. He was more of a sadist than a masochist, right?]

[video]

[alephbet]

Didn't somebody ask if Jason was single...?

video]

[doesnotgetit]

.... What?

[video]

[alephbet]

I definitely remember that entry.

[He couldn't reply because playercest.]

[video]

[doesnotgetit]

[She cringes.]

... Wow, I'm really not sure what to say to that. I should probably be disturbed, but that feeling doesn't feel strong enough for this.

[video]

[alephbet]

Let's agree to not talk about it.

[video]

[doesnotgetit]

I can agree to that, definitely.

[video]

[alephbet]

So. Other non-Jason topics.
