[Look, it's not because of his sentencing that he's making a message like this; he's been meaning to apologize to everyone that he hurt last month. Stupid Jerry and the stupid council had kicked him to high gear, but he definitely doesn't feel forced talking like this. Just. A little anxious and shit, because who wouldn't be?

Maybe it would be better if he just personally reached out to those that were affected, but honestly, some memories around that time are foggy. Kind of happens when you have a splitting headache from your powers while dealing with anger caused by corruption.]

Hey, uh, in case you didn't know, I was the one that destroyed the club building. [Kotone didn't mention it in her broadcast, because she's that kind of person, but he'll own up to it.] Thanks for everyone that's helping out with that, by the way. I'm gonna be working on rebuilding too. Can't have TWAT club without the building, right?

[Ha ha......]

Just wanted to also apologize for everything. Especially if I hurt you, I... I don't remember some of it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen and shit. So, uh.

[.....]

Just wanted to say that.

[SMOOTH AF. Just going to end the feed now.]

[this all seems like a bad idea.]

putting this out there. i don't think being chemically altered is gonna save you from heatstroke or falling off a mountain. or starvation.

[there's probably some crazy monsters out there too, but jinx might think it's fun destroying something like that.]

[opheliac]

heatstroke - keep up fluids, splash water on myself, dont wear heavy layers of clothing.

falling off a mountain - dont be clumsy and stupid. use hoverboard.

starvation - pack food.

[laserguy]

assuming you don't run out of food and water before you get to the village. just saying, that would be a lame way to die.

[he's unhappy, but why admit that!!]

you're really going to do this, aren't you?

[opheliac]

isnt it obvious?

okok look, ill be serious just this one time.

the locals for the most part hate us ( more like they hate her, but details.) the rumpies and the kee-kees are at war with each other. wars can last up to months or maybe even years. and WE cant go to either of those places unless u want to be part of the fight. i'd go for the heck of it because i love seeing mayhem, destruction, and things OR people go up in flames. but i cant so whatever.

in order for a city or town to keep buzzing, u need to have endless supplies and resources coming in. to put it simply: trading goods. this is basic how to rule an empire step 1.

aldrip and rumpy had a thing going, and we might STILL have a thing, but we're cut off right now. and definitely cant ask those kees for help. so when the time comes when we, as a city, run dry, and believe me......... we will, who will we go to for resources? especially when this war can last for who knows when?

whether i go now by myself or not, traveling to the mountains or the desert is an inevitable thing we'll have to go through. but why wait until we are low and desperate?

[laserguy]

we don't know the war thing for sure, right? thought one of the Chosen was responsible for that big... explosion.

[.........]

jinx, are you really just... escaping because of that?

[it's not like scott hasn't thought about it before, but.]

1/3

[opheliac]

its obvious dont u think?

they hate each other and there was a big kaboom. they say its one of us and its pretty known we are in good terms with the rumpies.

whose to say they think we are working together?

2/3

[opheliac]

( but that second message tho.... )

3/3

[opheliac]

and what makes u say that, hot eyes?

[laserguy]

[he really doesn't want to ask this, but it feels like he has to.]

are you the one that caused that explosion?

[opheliac]

( it's times like these she wishes she could go against her morals and lie. )

depends how you look at it.

[laserguy]

[so, that's pretty much a yes.]

jinx......

why?

[opheliac]

what do u mean "why"? i already told u. it depends how u look at it if i did it or not.

sheesh, do i need to make u a new pair of shades?

[laserguy]

yeah, i think you did do it.

why would you attack an entirely different city?

[not that he's advocating for her to shoot at the council here, but at least he'd sort of get that.]

[opheliac]

if u think i did it then maybe u and jerry should team up. be the BEST of buds.
i didnt, u numbskull.

[laserguy]

what-- it just sounded like you did! okay fine, sorry. don't lump me with lame jerry.

[opheliac]

its about knowing the story.

look. a thing happened. and ok yea what caused that thing to happen was a doohickey that belongs to me. was i there? yes.

but WAS it intentional? thats something u should ask urself. or me. before u just slap on the handcuffs on a person and throwing them in the slammer.

[laserguy]

so.

you're unintentionally involved. what the hell happened???

[opheliac]

i have a special... item. from home. ive always had it on me. and i kept it tucked away for a VERY long time until recently. see, my rival left his hoverboard here. its super cool. always wanted to ride it!! but what he uses to power the thing is out of juice. so i used my stuff to combine with his. and it worked out ok soooo didnt think much of it. no reason to question it!

i was around the kee-kee area to do some investigation and a dumb bird knock my item out of my hand. and my item decided to explode, and its SUPER WEIRD because the brainy scientists at the academy back home stabilized it so it WOULDNT do that. not anymore anyway.

i mean ok, the kee-kees SORTA had it coming for screwing me over, buuuuuuuuuut even if i wanted to put them in their place, TOTALLY not how i fantasized it in my head. yea, i was aarroouuunnnd the area, but i wasnt there to blow them up. i just wanted to watch them. very carefully.

so i bailed. jerry knew instantly, and didnt give me a chance to explain myself, and here we are.

[laserguy]

[he feels a headache coming.]

so it was a volatile energy source or something? guess that explains the explosion.

you know jerry and the council doesn't care about our reasons. they only care about what resulted from it. shit though, jinx, even if it was an accident, this is pretty bad still. it's probably best to tell people what happened.

[opheliac]

and WHY would i do that exactly?

[laserguy]

i mean, everyone already knows that a chosen caused the explosion.

it sucks letting people sit around and wonder what the hell happened instead of coming forth about it. especially crap like this.

[opheliac]

right. and me fessing up will do what? make everything better? stop rumpies and the kee-kees from slicing each other's necks?

[laserguy]

no, but look, it's going to be better than people thinking that this was done on purpose.

besides, you want to like. tell your side before anyone else says stuff. or figure out that you're connected and spreads shit.

[opheliac]

i think u got me mixed up with ur gf or all of ur other friends, scott. do u really think if i tell my side of the story, the people here would believe me?

my whole thing is to build guns and explosives. im all about kabooming everything! u really think theyre going to buy i didnt do it on purpose?

[laserguy]

i mean, maybe? it's not like you're a known liar.

think of it this way. since you love explosions, why would you lie about it. you'd own that, right?
