THE HERO OF THE IMPERIUM

[hegantha]

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. ]

Cafeteria

[ladygreensleeves]

[England is just finishing her tea when one of the flyers is passed to her and she wastes little time before looking it over.

The writing at the bottom causes her to raise an eyebrow up at the two handing out the leaflets though, and she glares at them from where she's seated.]

Excuse me? "Sorcerers need not apply"?

[The angry and offended "Why on earth not?" hangs in the air, though she doesn't out right say it.]

[hegantha]

It's because sorcerers can be very dangerous. Even if they mean well, without sanctioning from the Emperor, they could lose their sanity and attack us in large numbers.

We aren't looking to hurt magic users in anyway unless they hurt innocent humans first. We're just being honest about who we're willing to protect in a time of crisis.

[ladygreensleeves]

You believe them to be insane?

[England raises a brow, but otherwise tries to hide the offence she feels at such an assumption.]

I highly doubt that. Sorcerers are not dangerous.

[She folds her arms across her chest.]

In fact, I'd say magic is quite useful in helping people. You'd do better to advertise after them.

[hegantha]

Oh, I don't doubt that it can't be useful, after all I've met many sanctioned psykers in my time. And no, they are not insane, but their connection to the warp can allow them to lose their sanity or even have their bodies be used to unknowingly summon a daemon.

I've seen both happen before, and they'd only cause complications to our current crisis.

[ladygreensleeves]

The warp?

[Admittedly, England's own magic could probably be dangerous in certain situations, since she's not very good at performing it, personally. But she ignores that annoying fact.]

That... all sounds ridiculous. A summoner can be as in control of themselves and their magic as anybody else.

[hegantha]

Yes, that is what some think.

[ Obviously, she doesn't believe England. ]

[ladygreensleeves]

Yes. Because it's true. Magic isn't something to be fearful of.

[hegantha]

I don't fear magic. Being smart and wary has nothing to do with being scared.

[ladygreensleeves]

Well, you sound as though you don't understand it very well, to be perfectly honest. It isn't dangerous if you know how to control it, and it isn't even something to be wary of.

[hegantha]

I've already explained that it can't be controlled without sanctioning from the Emperor himself, who obviously isn't here.

[ladygreensleeves]

The... what? What Emperor?

[hegantha]

The Emperor of humanity. I have learned that most people don't know of him but I assure you that being sanctioned is very important.

Cafeteria

[hideandhero]

That's what it says. Is that a problem?

Re: Cafeteria

[ladygreensleeves]

Well, it seems rather unfair.

[hideandhero]

I don't know. Seems rather safe if you ask me.

[ladygreensleeves]

That's absurd. Sorcerer's aren't dangerous.

[hideandhero]

Of course they are. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot, heretic, or both.

[ladygreensleeves]

Really? Because you sound like the complete idiot here. The incredibly closed minded one.

[hideandhero]

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded.

[A platitude from his own universe, thankfully.]

[ladygreensleeves]

[England just stares. So much judging over here.]

That's a very... cynical way of looking at things.

[Not that she isn't used to cynics.]

[hideandhero]

Unless you want some frakking psyker pulling everything you know out of your mind, it's the only way to look at it.
