THE HERO OF THE IMPERIUM
Characters: Amberley Vail, Commissar Ciaphas Cain, and YOU
Setting: All around the safe floors. The cafeteria, dorms, etc.
Format: Actionspam is cool, threads with cain and amberley will be done separately
Summary: Propaganda is good! Everyone should know that there's a hero among us who stands up for good humans and helps protect them from the tower!
Warnings: Discrimination towards aliens and anything practicing magic. The shoot first, ask questions kind of discrimination.
[ Amberley and Cain can both be found about the tower today, the almost seven foot tall man following behind the smaller woman dressed in his normal military garb with his chainsword at his side. You do get the sense that he's being dragged around by her, mostly because of his stoicism and her cheery enthusiasm make a pretty jarring contrast.
The two each have a stack of handmade flyers they're handing out, which Amberley made with a marker and some scrap paper. Not the most high tech propaganda out there, but it was better than nothing. Everyone who runs into the duo will get one of these.
At least they're trying to help, even if it's in their own horribly misguided way. ]

Believe me when I say there are things you don't know and will never want to know about because it's dangerous. And it's not something that just exists in a single 'universe'. It's everywhere. It's why magic exists, why humans can perform amazing feats like shooting fireballs from their fingers.
In the days when the God-Emperor lived, this wouldn't have been a problem. But it is now.
no subject
I may be young, but I'm not dumb or stupid. Besides, those two words mean almost the same thing anyway.
[Tohko then sighed angrily.]
I will always want to know things, even if it's dangerous. And it may be everywhere in your universe. But in my universe, there was no magic like that or any God-Emperor. The same holds true for Enoch's universe, and Wilhelm's universe operates under entirely different laws than yours does. Universes..realities..call them whatever you like, but the things you remember and hold as a constant aren't going to be the same for everyone else. I may fondly remember Japan, but there are probably tons of people here who don't. And that's fine!
However, being a hardhead and not adapting is going to limit your options here. It's going to limit your allies and get yourself killed.
no subject
The next time you say there's no God-Emperor, I'll have to shoot you. Not because you don't believe in him. But because denying him empowers the dark powers. And frak if I'm going to let that happen on my watch.
no subject
[Thankfully, Tohko was wearing the ring Warmage gave her. She was more used to making rain, but..she had seen what he had done. Surely she could do it too.]
And it's true: in your universe, he existed. In mine, he didn't. But that doesn't matter now, because both of our universes are destroyed. However, this is only proving my point. We're both fighting and squabbling now because of you trying to shove your worldview down everyone's throat.
no subject
Then, surprisingly or unsurprisingly, he turns his head back to Amberley as if waiting for a judgement.]
no subject
If he does, this will all go to hell in a handbasket.]
no subject
Shooting her won't silence her.
[ Even if they did kill her, she'd only come back to tell her tale of being shot down for something Tohko seemed to be completely trivial. People would believe the book girl over herself or Cain and Amberley isn't in a position to handle the negative attention. ]
Though really, I'm disappointed, Tohko. I thought we were friends. Aren't friends supposed to be more considerate to each other than this?
no subject
We are friends. However, it's not right to pull large groups of people away from each other for no reason. Aliens and sorcerers abiding by all sorts of different laws and rules are here, but that doesn't make them bad and it doesn't mean that we shouldn't at least try to work together. Flyers like these will only create unnecessary conflict.
You are my friend, Amberly..but friend are also supposed to help each other not make huge mistakes or let them do something that they'll regret.
no subject
And I have nothing to regret. I will never regret serving the Emperor and please don't ever tell me that I am wrong for having faith.
no subject
I listened to your friend. However, he just made the same points over and over again while ignoring what I said. I didn't see where he tried to compromise either. While your actions haven't caused any conflict now, if people really take to this, it's going to cause more harm than good in the long run.
I'm willing to listen to a good argument. But both you and your friend have to understand that since the Tower is a melting pot of other universes, there are going to be good magicians and aliens here. They're not all out to kill people, even if that is the way it worked in your universe.
And since our universes are destroyed, we shouldn't worry about things coming from them to hurt other people here.
And I'm not telling you that you're wrong for having faith. There's nothing wrong with faith. But there is something wrong with stereotypes.
no subject
You can't really ask us to throw that away just because you say so. The most I think I could do is be willing to ally with non-humans and magic users during a combat situation, but even then, I would never turn my back to them.
no subject
[Tohko then sighed.]
I understand that you've been fighting with them in your universe for two hundred years. I'm not expecting you to completely change overnight..but couldn't you at least try to talk happily with a few? Make a friend and see if everyone here is that bad?
After all, you couldn't have expected, in your two hundred years worth of experience, to be thrown into this Tower, so there might be a few more surprises in store for you. After all, I'm friends with a lot of magicians here, and a few aliens. They're not all bad, I promise. Even outside of combat.

[ Since, you know, you can't be killed through a computer. ]

May I ask why? It's not like I'm planning on meeting any of these people later on.

Unless the people you met specifically told you not to tell others that they were magicians or non-human entities, then I don't see the problem. You're forgetting that I, and several other people here, don't share your views on magicians and non-human entities. We're not going to fly into a panic.
