[Video, forward-dated to the afternoon of the 11th] One last part...

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch is holding a sheet of paper - thin plastic, really - in front of him.*

This is what started this, I'm sure you've all seen them now and know what I mean.

*He lets out a breath and lowers the paper.* And if the red-collared brute somewhere behind me doesn't see fit to attack me for this just yet, I'd like to say something. An apology. To our current administrator, for the trouble this could cause on his undeserving watch, but most importantly, to all of you. To everyone who was here at the beginning of last month.

*There's a pause while he takes a breath, steeling himself and preparing for possible attack. When he speaks, he doesn't look up at the screen, playing with the sheet of plastic in his hands.*

...I've had over seventy names in my lifetime, and I've somehow found myself with yet another alias in this tower, and I'm certain all of you have seen it. I am one who would call himself Pandora.

It was never my intent to bring harm to anyone, but if not for that incident, we would not have been able to find this, it was hidden in the glamours. I am so, so sorry for everything...true enough to my newest name, the demons must be released before we can find hope...

*He looks up at the camera again.* So let us find it together. Let us all stand strong. There is no need to be an enemy...no need to be an opponent to anyone. Ruana is a danger to us all, here and at home. Above and below.

*He glances back for sign of his retrieval unit...and warily turns back to the camera, allowing his feet to rest after the efforts to put up all those pieces of paper.*

[She is silent for a moment as she watches this. Quiet for a bit, then she turns on the video function and decides to post. There is no reason for Enoch to deal with the repercussions by himself.

Everyone who went down to those levels that time is part of this, are they not?]

Enoch is not the only one who calls himself Pandora. I do as well.

[sageprincess]

As do I.

[She might have preferred to keep this quiet for a bit longer, but... she can't very well let the others take the fall when she was so deeply involved.]

[Video]

[alephbet]

Thank you.

I will stand with you as much as I can.

[For now there is no difference between them, no matter how different the places they came from. They share a common goal and a common enemy.]

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

Thank you, Aleph.

*This will be a difficult task. Not that difficulty would deter someone like Aleph...

In fact, this sounds like something someone with Aleph's experience should be able to handle well. Enoch is glad to have him on his side.*

[Video]

[scentofmakai]

Hey, Uncle Enoch... is that smart? Saying 'hi I'm a leader of the rebellion'?

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch just smiles.* It doesn't matter now, Zett. It isn't in Pandora's hands now.

[Video]

[brbtalkingtogod]

Isn't it funny? I've adapted a new name in addition to my own as well.

[Lucifel chuckles.]

I, as well, am Pandora.

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

*Lucifel has never stood beside him before. He has always been behind, off to the side. Not a fighter but a safety net.*

...You would come forward, too?

[Video]

[tohko_amano]

[So that's where the information was gotten. Explanations could be had later..if they were going to out themselves-as she had seen in the comments, she had to calm down. Tohko sighed and smiled before she spoke.]

I suppose I should come clean as well. I too, am Pandora!

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

I wouldn't have thought any less of anyone who didn't come forward...

*Honestly, he heard that sigh...*

[video]

[bloodyashes]

[...Well, revealing themselves like this is stupid, but if you're in, you're in.]

Count my sword as well.

[Probably only Zelda knows exactly what he means by that, unless Anise or an Ion payed attention to their Hod history.]

[video]

[pitiedthefool]

[Nolo bros unite]

And my bus stop sign.

[With that faint smirk of "his retrieval unit stalker is likely to attack him for it soon," he adds:]

Welcome back, Asch. [Or should he say "welcome back, Pandora's knight"?]

Anontext

[idkworldruler]

Are we going to do show and tell afterwards?

[Anon text]

[brbtalkingtogod]

Of course anon, next thing that's done after that is a campfire.

[Video/Private]

[great_king_of_evil]

Reckless. You must be eager to bring more unwanted attention to you.

And I am not speaking about me.

[Video/Private]

[warriorscribe]

It isn't about the attention, and only one person's attention would be truly "unwanted" in the first place.

*And what can she do anyway? She could take action against him, but the wheels have been set in motion. The information is held in too many minds to modify, and more people than him can act on it. It was safe, now, in the big picture, to reveal himself this way, for the sake of the people who had suffered because of his actions.

Also he sees that little lock icon. He's pretty sure Ganondorf likes to taunt people out in the open where others can see, like he did Guy and the other victims of Jason's last time. So he wonders what this is about.*

Why are you filtering this conversation?

[imperialsun]

...so that's what Nanjo was talking about when he mentioned Pandora. I get it now.

[warriorscribe]

Nanjo...? *Because of how obscure it had seemed to be among the infiltration group, Enoch had thought the tale wasn't well known, and he thought Naoya here was talking about Pandora as a group. He just didn't ever remember meeting anyone by that name...*

[egotrigger]

you guys are gonna get yourseslves killed

but whatever i know he wants to get in on the fight

so what do we do

text

[warriorscribe]

And we die if we do not act, either by remaining unsupported or sent home and siphoned out.

As of now, we continue to spread this to make it indelible, and make what moves we can when we can make them. We only have the vaguest of direction at the moment.

*And yes, he does consider an admin's disposition a factor of what moves can be made when, unlike some others here. After all, they're people too. And in a less selfless sense, having allies on the inside would be invaluable.*

[Video]

[halfpintsorceress]

Cripes, I've missed a lot. Last big thing I recall was that first council thing that wound up devolving into a lot of arguin'. Just what have you guys been up to since then?

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

*Wow, she was gone a long time. He's grateful for Jason's memory tampering, rare as approving of memory tampering is for him. The poor thing...* Ah...quite a lot. Have you already been told anything?

[Text]

[neverbeamemory]

So now you would have us stand and fight alongside you, after forcing our hands by already significantly stacking the
odds against all of us?

[By which he's referring to the timer of course, and now Pandora's (yes all of them) literally throwing the gauntlet down against the Tower with this broadcast.]

I had you as one for pretty words, though I did not have you as a fool until now.

[Video]

[bloodyashes]

And when were the odds not stacked against us? When were we not at a disadvantage?

[A snort.]

If you think that things would have improved if we took no action, then you are the fool here.

[Video]

[gradosfinest]

[When the feed clicks on Amelia's simply standing there, straight and at attention with her hands folded behind her back, expression more serious than it usually is. It takes her a second to figure out just what she wants to say, especially given that this isn't someone she's actually met before.]

... so you're the people fighting for us all, against the admins? Are you sure it's a good idea to just say it so openly?

[There's a pause as she shifts for a moment before voicing her second question.]

And what do we do now?

[Video]

[warriorscribe]

Yes and no. With this, it's in the hands of the tower at large. We had to keep it secret before, to protect it. But now the information is safest in as many minds as possible. That's why it doesn't matter anymore, my involvement. I helped cause people suffering, and now that I don't have to hide it, I must take responsibility...

*"What now?", this isn't the first time he's had that question. As if they had any clear plan...but he won't speak more for now. His response to the first thing she asked was enough, and he didn't want to distract from one topic for something that essentially wound up being so small...*

video; icly late response, after the admin post

[tacticaldisaster]

[--- Ha. She chuckles to herself upon viewing this old post.]

"Pandora," wasn't it? It seems I wasn't paying as much attention to the network as I should have, as of late.

[And then she's all business, just like that.]

That being said, we seem to be of the same mind. A unified front against the admins would be much better at this point than the disorganized skirmishes of the past. We're running out of time, after all.

[warriorscribe]

*Oh? A reply ten days after the fact? Nice to see it didn't end just like that.*

Exactly, we don't have time for fighting amongst ourselves. We never should have in the first place.
