[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.]

Kanji, calm down.

[a deep breath, and making this private to Condense. Time to attempt to negate this situation to the best of his ability. Gods, he's beginning to miss Naoto even more now.]

If you still seek a fight, then yes, we will face you. Though if we're all trapped here, wouldn't it be best to get along?

If you are not with me, then you are against me.

If you are against me, then you will perish. Its very simple.

I stand by those I consider my allies and friends.

[His tone has calmed considerably, yet still holds the authority of one who has led others into battle many times. Both against aspects of humanity itself, and against gods. After facing the goddess of the Land of the Dead, why should he fear death?]

You know, I feel sorry for you if you think that is the only way to live, because I know the type to think that always ends up alone in the end; empty.

Things may be different for your kind, but for humans, those who backstab and murder simply because those they interact with don't act the way you envision or cater to your wishes always wind up alone with no one else to even spare a word to. They can't afford to be considered weak, so they toss aside those who would genuinely care for them and condescending to those who think differently.

[He allows a calculating pause for breath.]

That is the truth I believe in, and I can only pray it doesn't happen for you like it did for so many others.

[The Condesce snorts -- the majority of said speech is lost on her.]

Next time I'm looking for an inane lecture, I know who to contact.

[...And just like the one of Emptiness he knows, it goes right over her head. Well, he can't say he didn't warn her Highness.]

I guess so.

[Protag-kun, out!]
