[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.*

Answer the question sheep. Or would you like me to call you "Pandora", just like everyone else?

[Anon text]

[brbtalkingtogod]

As Pandora we can do more than a single person alone. The strength of our group lies in working together.

We are not sheep. We simply want to bring hope back from the depths it's hidden at.

And if you think you need to show off by acting the way you do anon then you still haven't realized what is at stake.

A sheep is still a sheep no matter the color of its wool, or what you call it. They all follow the leader and try to match each other as best as possible. Lest they be picked off by the hungry wolf.

What you are describing are just huddled masses.

[brbtalkingtogod]

If you know how to read then you are at advantage. Or are you the type who doesn't understand the negative form of a sentence? And here I thought that you would be able to make proper conversation.

Oh. I know.

You are jealous.

Wood u lyk me to go bck to talkin to u like dis

...Ew, you are way too ego-centric.

[Anon text]

[brbtalkingtogod]

Oh, I hit the spot, didn't I?

So you ARE jealous.

[Anon text]

[idkworldruler]

No u said that you thought I would make proper conversation. So I assumed that you were unhappy with proper speech patterns of an English speaker.

...that is doubly disgusting.

[Anon text]

[brbtalkingtogod]

Sad you didn't catch what I referred to.

It's you who's jealous, not me.

[Anon text]

[idkworldruler]

It's sad that you don't seem to notice the extremely laughable cliche that you and several others just pulled off.

I think it's the other way around.

[Anon text]

[brbtalkingtogod]

I don't know about the state of mind of yours but it doesn't look too good. I am diagnosing a great lack of knowledge as well as courage.

I'm not the one in denial, that seems to be you.

[Anon text]

[idkworldruler]

Nah, I'm pretty positive that describes you. All of it, including your apparent inability to be able to read a person through computer text. Lulz

[Anon text]

[brbtalkingtogod]

That sounds much like you are trying your best to distract from yourself anon.

[Anon text] and I have returned

[idkworldruler]

Does it? Would you mind telling me how, what you base everything off of and where you buy your clothes?

[Anon text] welcome back

[brbtalkingtogod]

Pretty much everything you say. Like that just now too. Kinda sad if you ask me, being so lonely that you have to act like this to distract yourself.

[And that's not pity he has to share, far from it.]

[Action/not here sorta] don't mind me Mitch just keep being a great troll

*Because Enoch is standing right next to his chair, Lucifel gets the biggest hug for this post.*

[Action]

[brbtalkingtogod]

[That hug is unexpected and what did he do?]

Enoch...?

[Action]

[warriorscribe]

*He made an open show of solidarity, of course, on a level Enoch hadn't expected.*

That was a good one... *That's the only explanation he can really put to words at the moment. Hopefully Lucifel can figure it out.*

[Action]

[brbtalkingtogod]

I think so too.

[Lucifel smiles at the scribe. Yes, he figured it out.]

Mind if I continue?

[Action]

[warriorscribe]

*He's gotten better at that - Enoch doesn't want to admit it, but the adverse situation seems to have helped Lucifel in the empathy department.

Okay, he'll back off.*

Of course...I'm sorry.

[Action]

[brbtalkingtogod]

[Slightly at least. There was still a lot that the archangel didn't understand yet, although he had a hard time admitting that.

There is one good thing about this just now though: Lucifel didn't tense at all when Enoch hugged him this time.

Probably because he's occupied right now.]

... I don't like this person at all.

[Action]

[warriorscribe]

*Enoch looks at the screen again, his hand on Lucifel's shoulder.*

All he can speak in is mockeries, it seems.

[Action]

[brbtalkingtogod]

That's the jealousy of them, I'm very sure.

[It was more fun to argue with a child, this is like listening to a broken record.]

[Action]

[warriorscribe]

Jealous of people considered "sheep"? Mm...sheep are tended to, and have safety in numbers. Even wolves travel together.

[Action]

[brbtalkingtogod]

I can't think of many animals which aren't in a group. It might be harder to organize but it's much easier as well.

[Action]

[warriorscribe]

I wonder if that's why he has such disdain, because it's easier. Many mistake difficulty for merit.
