[well, at least he's managed to work out computers. Now it's time for a public service announcement. A very short, aggressive one.]

This claim that our worlds are gone: it is false. Were my country and its people destroyed, the Will of Heaven would not have allowed me to live. Why is such a lie propagated to all, when it is the cause of so much grief and suffering?

[Suzaku doesn't look happy, in fact he looks utterly miserable and his voice is quiet]

I believe it is a ploy to keep us in line from our kidnappers, to make us believe that even were escape possible we have no where to go.

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

[Keiki's point exactly.]

In that they have failed.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter if they have failed or not since they are more than powerful enough to keep us here.

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

The kidnap itself is not the issue I wish to discuss. I have nothing to say on that point, rather it is the spread of falsehood to cause pain I cannot condone.

[knightofangst.livejournal.com]

[Oh so the kidnapping itself is fine is it. Blank stare] After everything they've done I don't think they care about lying to us.

Hey, I shouldn't be here either if my world's gone, but I went back and it all was.

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

[he's not sure if he's understood correctly]

It was gone?

[fifty]

Everything was dead. I couldn't find anyone and it was all--

[He makes a vague gesture.]

But it's not like I'm trying to be all doom and gloom! I mean, we just need to know the situation so we can bring everything back.

[this is most troubling.] I don't think you understand. Were my kingdom destroyed, I would be dead, or dying. A kirin cannot outlive their kingdom.

[fifty]

And I'm a country--if all my people and my whole world's dead, I'd be dead or dying, too.

[Well, this is an interesting prospect.]

What do you mean you wouldn't have been allowed to live? [Is this automatic, or something?]

[text]

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

I am bound by Heaven's mandate to the King of Kei, and her kingdom. As a kirin, I cannot live independently of her majesty or of the Will.

Simply put, there is no reason for a kirin to exist if their kingdom is no more.

Do you mean that you literally can't live? Like a special bond? [Or magic?]

[text]

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

Precisely so.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

I see.

[That... definitely makes things interesting, as far as the argument about what's going on goes. She does have some other things to say, but one question kind of distracts her.]

Is that frightening?

[princesslantern.livejournal.com]

Obviously it's a lie. If somethin like this was going to happen, the corps would have known about it. We would have put up a fight.

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I do not know of a corps, but I agree. Something so catastrophic would have been foretold by the sages.

[princesslantern.livejournal.com]

We're the kind of people that keep countries and people from being destroyed.

I don't know about that Will of Heaven stuff- but I don't really buy all this stuff either. Really fishy, you know?

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

I understand that such things are limited to my own world, but the situation seems to be similar for all of us.

[airof.livejournal.com]

Pretty much! I don't really buy all of it but I can't really leave, you know?

It'd be nice if these guys would show up though.

[needsmoartact.livejournal.com]

It is a ruler's prerogative to remain apart from their subjects, but I am forced to agree.
