animus_network | 004 ❀ Invisible words explode with scorn

[Hey there tower- you know this face? She doesn't make it a point to use the network often, but when she does, it's usually for a good reason. Today's reason seems to be making announcements, settled in the library with tea beside her and her sketchbook in hand as ever.]

Strega- we will have breakfast tomorrow. All of us. Please don't make me have to come and bring you down. It would assuredly not be worth the trouble.

[Don't make her do it boys. It'll be ugly. Or at the very least, unpleasant.]

Willow- I have more things ready for you, if you would care to come try them on. I feel I may need to request a few more types of fabric from the tower if I am to continue, however. I would like to get the rest of these done properly or not at all.

[Because so many projects, so little of the necessary fabric to use- but half-assing things isn't her style.]

There is one more matter I'd care to bring up, if I may. Her Imperious Condescension, if I might request your attention a moment.

[She picks up her tea then, fingers curling delicately around the cup. It's not an actual request of course, because she takes another sip and continues on regardless-]

It has come to my attention that you have taken issue with the fact that one of your subjects is in a moirallegiance with me. While I am certain you have nothing but his best interests at heart- [she's absolutely sure of the opposite, actually]- I feel I must implore you to kindly mind your own quadrants. Presuming of course, there are any more of your subjects here loyal or willing enough to enter into them with you. If not, perhaps you should look into finding a quadrant-mate outside of the limited number of your people- it seems to be working out just fine for some of the rest of them, after all.

[She takes another sip of her tea, then sets it aside and reaches forward toward the console.]

Ah- and if you should hurt him again like you did before, I believe you will find that not everyone is quite so willing to let you do as you please, Highness.

[Chidori out, yo.]

I will.

Like a grub to the slaughter.

When shall I expect you?

Yo. You try to harm him, you'll have to pass through me first.

[alskdfs Kanji this is Strega business.]

I can handle myself, Kanji.

[... There's a thanks in there somewhere.]

[She laughs.]

If he wishes to involve himself in my business, then he will not be spared. Nor will you.

That decision rests on your shoulders alone.

Hey you know the saying, you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us?

Deal with it.

Then by all means, I will be happy to indulge your death wish.

[Alright, he's had it. He has to speak up at this point. Both out of concern for his friends and others here, and because he can't ignore this out of a clear conscience.]

...We may be weaker alone, but we've taken down a god before.If you want to go through them, then you have to go through all of us.

So we'll say this again lady, Get Bent.

...Kanji. [Bro, I love you like a younger bro and best friend and I'mma let you finish, but you aren't going to be Mr. Wall alone.]

Senpai?! I'm not gonna let her boss them around! Gals like her piss me off.

I know. [He's pissed too, even though he doesn't show it as well through the cold exterior.] But if you are going, you're not going alone.

Ken's my friend, too.

[He's what now.]

[F.R.I.E.N.D. Friend. So Ken, how does it feel to have someone empathize with you even though they aren't from the same reality?]

[Not here]

Keep him away from this, in that case.

[She doesn't know who you are, but she knows Kanji, and if he can keep Ken out of trouble then-]

He should not involve himself. And neither should both of you.

I'll do my best.

[He doesn't know you either, but he knows Minato and Ken. While he doesn't agree with your team's reasoning, he does empathize.]

Just don't get yourself killed.

[Okay but seriously. You're kind of decent and all but - ]

This is our business. Let us take care of our own team.

Ken... [He's worried for you, okay? He knows how close Kanji is with others he likes.]

We've faced plenty of tough things. We can handle it.

I'm ready now.

Leave both of them alone. Like everyone else is saying, you really don't want everyone against you, no matter how powerful you think you are.

[She's terribly amused by the crowd she's gathered.]

Your underestimation will be the downfall of you all. Once it starts, I will ensure it doesn't stop.

I suggest you talk sense into your comrads if bloodshed is truly something you wish to avoid.

I guess we're at an impasse then, because I think you underestimate what others can do when they're trying to protect someone important to them.

I'll talk to them, but I'm not their master. We choose our fate of our own will.

Indeed, just as this woman has chosen her own by involving herself with me and my subjects.

I am not a monarch driven by mercy. Know that well before you make your decisions.

Monarchs who terrorize those they call "subjects" have a history of being forced off the throne. Just so you know.
