Video -|- un: nunya

[The video starts with a shot of the invitation that she'd received, the writing bold and clear before she tosses the invite down and directs the camera up to her face, which looks entirely unimpressed.]

Tell me I'm not the only one that feels like this is some lame attempt to gather certain people into a specific area for an unknown reason, aka, a fucking trap?

[Someone was feeling especially incapable of trusting anyone from this world or any of the Orbiters. She held up the ring she'd gotten, not wearing it, but showing it.]

And as far as some kind of... compensation for the shit some people went through, this feels pretty weak to me. An invite to a trap-party, a gold coin, and a pretty little bauble, because clearly I'm that easily distracted and easy to appease. They realize that people died during this, don't they? And we're all supposed to just slap a smile on, pull out a dress, and go along with this like this isn't a giant fucking joke?

[There was a look on her face like she was really, really hoping someone would be as salty as she was over this.]

Maybe it's just in my nature to think everyone's out to screw me over, but when I've already been screwed over, and not in the fun way, I'm not exactly feeling inclined to bend over for round two. There have to be other people that think this is shady shit...

[Please tell her there were other people out there that thought this was shady shit.]

[ Thing is, he had though. Maybe it had been the poison in his system, making him see things, but in the end, before the fire claimed him, he had sworn he could see them coming for him. His fallen friends, his fellow Crusaders. His King. Even if it had been nothing more than a false vision, a hallucination, he will hold onto it. ]

Lying bullshit? Well, I'm used to that. And that's all the more reason to keep my path. Even if all the world is rotten, there is no reason that I should be as well. Tell me that you've never done a foolish thing because it was the right thing to do.

[If he had told her that, she would have hit him, hard, and told him he deserved more than false fever dreams. All the good people in her life did, and yet there they were, dredging in the shit like they didn't need to be. Idiots.]

I try to keep myself out of other people's shit. Every time I stick my nose in--

[A quiet pause, her glance darting down, thinking of the worst of the worst times.]

It doesn't work out well. And not just for me.
