[great_king_of_evil]

[ Greetings people of the tower, have the King of Evil who cursed the tower this month appear on the terminals, for the first time in over six months. He looks fairly neutral, with a very light smile. ]

So long as it been since I last posted here, and yet I see nothing changed. The same cycle has been repeating over and over again, both here and where we come from. Higher powers play with those they see as inferior... Cruel and pointless games meant to satisfy their own amusement. From the tortured crowds sometimes a voice arise, then many--

But at the first bone tossed their way, the mindless masses go back in rank behind the higher powers they chose to venerate as deities. At the first occasion to forget, they chose blissful ignorance. Yes... In the end, complacency reigns. People always return to their meaningless preoccupations and lose of sight what should matter most.

[ He pauses and shakes his head in disapproval before continuing. ]

Have voice even been heard in this tower? Many entertained -and without a doubt still do- the idea that following certain golden haired women would bring them what they longed for. Yet, nothing happened. All they did was replace a deplorable situation with another, build a false hope they could comfort themselves with. All they did was turn a blind eye on reality.

Not a voice arise to stand against the status quo. [A very short and deep chuckle.] How pathetic. Tell me, Tower of Animus, do you not believe time has come for you to awaken and bring about an end to this?

Not here, but watching and stalking

[Because he knows the game and he knows that ranting in answer will do nothing except amuse the poster.

Though, seriously Ganondorf. Seriously?]

Not here

[great_king_of_evil]

[ Speak about a courageous and brave hero.

Seriously. ]

not here, either

[pitiedthefool]

[And he thought Izanami was bad, monologuing on how humanity did much of this very thing. Though, if he believed that of everyone... well, he learned long ago that not everyone will listen to anything but what they wish to. It would only amuse him if he even responded, even though this triggered him when he saw it...

Nope. Going to simply keep an eye on this. He isn't foolish enough to speak over the network on certain subjects as it is; this being one of them.]

Action!

[justabignobody]

[Well, given the recent lack of network activity apart of one certain post, Riku can make guesses what Yu is looking at right now and he does seem about as impressed as Riku himself is. (Meaning not at all. >.>;)

He keeps his voice low when he steps up behind Yu out of habit and precaution - walls got ears and all. It certainly doesn't hurt to be careful.]

Pretty full of himself, isn't he?

People aren't ignorant, the truth is just kept away from them, thanks to you.

We can find a way to end this without following someone who's only in this for himself.

[Yeah, Ryoji knows he'll probably get in trouble for this, especially if whatever Ganon did to his shadow is still in effect, but he can't help it. He needs to let his voice be heard somehow, because he's still too afraid to tell anyone he cares about in person.]

Truth cannot be trusted into the hands of those who would use it in favor of these very deities. They would twist it and shape in what pleases them most. Deviate it from its intended use.

Truth is a weapon.

As for your accusations, I see no basis to them.

Bored, are we?

[ The Evil King is unimpressed. ]

Indeed, princess. This month has been pretty uneventful ever since your friends faithfully played the role of the Hero of Time in our story. Such a shame their exploits ended there.

[sacred_flamer]

Hey, who the hell said we were being complacent? Some of us are actually trying to do something about being stuck here, instead of making everyone else miserable!

[...says the person that follows other people around like a puppy dog.]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ A low chuckle and he shakes his head. ]

I did say it. You have not done anything of consequences. You imagine yourself as a hero who actually tries to do something, don't you boy? I commend your spirit. But please entertain me.

Tell me what you have accomplished so far that is a step toward freedom? A step toward independence? A step toward the revival of your world?

[And to think she enjoyed being on team villain, too.

He reminds her of someone she knew a long time ago who was also intent on overthrowing tyrannical rulers.]

Besides those with the "good guys" aren't really better. ]

Because delivering bad villain speeches to the tower is going to accomplish so much more.

If you're gonna make a villain speech, at least make it interesting and not a complete snoozefest.

[great_king_of_evil]

Interesting how if one you hold in admiration had spoken the same meanings, maybe with different choice of words, you would call it an inspirational speech.

I suppose that cannot be helped.

[puppy_lancer]

maybe
do you have a plan?

[Not that he'll listen, seeing how it's Ganon.]

Your question alone is answer enough.

Private - Voice

[scorchedchivalry]

I am calmer. Speak to me.

[great_king_of_evil]

Not here. Too dangerous.

Where can I find you?

[The small light of the video feed reflects vaguely off of von Doom's mask as he watches.]

[At some point, he begins laughing. The audio filter and image is cut off, so he is not heard by anyone online nor seen.]

[yamaxanadu]

To actively go against the tower and the system we are subjugated to?

I can't say whether it is time for the public to do something or not, they will act when they act, they will have enough when they have had enough. It only takes a few charismatic people to lead a rebellion, but I am unsure if that is necessary in this circumstance.

But then, I can wait. I can always wait. Wait and see what everyone does and see if those actions are black or white.

[great_king_of_evil]

I believe you may have to wait for a very long time, especially when considering those currently serving as leading figures.

But I shall admit I am curious. Why do you believe such actions should not be necessary in our current circumstances?

[Anon/Text.]

[hystericull]

fuck off. this place is better than being stuck on a rock waiting to die.

i'd rather have some stupid fuck think i'm being complacent than fight to go back to limbo.

[great_king_of_evil]

Indeed a fate none would envy.

But thank you for confirming my words.

lulz u shouldnt troll
but y should some1 follow another

[great_king_of_evil]

Troll? Believe me, what ever this means is not my attention.

Again, you are amongst those who did not understand my words, sad. Before following another, people here should find the power to speak their voice.

[Voice]

[provenworth]

[This is the most long-winded 'I told you so' that she has ever heard. Ever. Ah, but his words do nothing but add salt to a still very raw wound and she can't help but find herself getting riled up.

Which is exactly what he wants, she's sure.

But there's an even more horrible thing - an awfulness that even she can't deny - and that's how there's a little too much validity to his words than she'd like. How much of the 'game' had she been a part of? Had Ruana used the wedding for sport, as an experiment to see how the initial reaction of those in the Tower would take to such an event, to have them rise up against a 'voice of reason' (as he called himself), and then watch the horrible fallout when one part of the pair was quickly removed just shortly after?]

So then what should we do? This cycle will continue on until we stop it, and while there are those who've tried just look what it got us.

[Nothing but despair, pain and angry Admins.]

Its almost funny, hearing this from you. You, who have had just as little success as those 'certain golden haired women', complaining about complacency when you seemed just fine and happy doing the things you've done to others.

[Like make her a mini-Turk, brain-wash Reno, manipulate Shion's hand into killing him.]

Those are big words from a big man with little results. Even if there were those among us ready, willing, and able - getting to that 'end' is much easier said than done.

[Voice / Semi-Locked]

[great_king_of_evil]

"Those who've tried."

[ He chuckles and slowly shakes his head, with a nearly cruel smile. As if such people even existed within this tower. ]

Would you care to please elaborate on this? I see no such people here, not even you. Yet you should have even more reasons than I to stand against this tower.

[ He pauses and locks the video before moving onto the next part. ]

Everything I have accomplished in this tower so far has had a meaning, a purpose. I know you refer to what I have done to Reno, and by extension to others-- Xion, Shion, you. If I had not made it clear enough before, I shall repeat it: the three of you were of no consequences to me and I felt no animosity toward any of you.

However, you are certainly aware of what Reno had done. You were targeted because at some point, you stood between him and I, nothing more. I know little about the world you come from, but I doubt traitors are treated with more respect or with less severity. I doubt you would have done any better, would you have been in my position.

I could have handled his betrayal differently. As far as I am concerned, I have been generous, but in the end this matters little. Ruana and her dogs have settled this for us, haven't they?

[ Obviously referring to Reno's disappearance-- And he unlocks the video for the next part. ]

Soon two years will have gone by since this tower first welcomed residents. Yet, nothing happens. My point is that people are not even trying to get something accomplished.

You know, it works a little better when you don't insult the people you're trying to encourage.

[Text]

[great_king_of_evil]

Encouraging them with usual methods would do naught but encourage them to sink deeper into their complacency. People tend to display more vivid reactions when offended.

If they truly take offense and skip past the meaning to see only the insult, their case is not worth the attention in the first place.

[gomu_ningen]

[There's a loud ringing of successive button mashing before the image of the young lad appears on the screen. His eyes curiously dart about at some thing off of the camera's view, the familiar sound of keyboard smashing echoing from the other end.]

"Where's my food? I keep pressing buttons but nothing seems to be coming o-"

[Turning to the screen, he finally notices the powerful looking man, raising an eyebrow as he merely stares back at the screen for what seems like a long minute of silence.]

"Huh? Who're you?"

[Video]

[great_king_of_evil]

[ ... Ganondorf shakes his head slowly at that. Asking his name after this speech, what lack of taste. ]

My name is Ganondorf, but I believe it won't matter much to you.
