towerofanimus | 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. ]

[He stares at the pamphlet. Oh, if only they knew.]

What's all this about? What happened here before I arrived?

Something is always happening. But you never know when you might need help.

Makes sense to me.

I've never seen much good come of magic, myself.

Every once in a while, you can get something good out of a sanctioned user but most of the time, that kind of thing is just too dangerous.

It's much too easy to be corrupted by it.

You could say that two hundred years from now and I'd agree with you.

[He laughs a bit uneasily.]

Funny you'd put it that way.

What's so funny about it?

[Actually curious.]

I've had that much experience to know magic is good, actually.

Wasn't... cursed with magic or anything, I just happened to be in a place where aging doesn't happen for a while.

[LEAN BACK.]

You're saying you've been around it enough to slow down aging? Just rely on modern science for that and run.

[Blank stare.]

No, I'm saying there are worlds where aging doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. I didn't go to Neverland willingly.

I haven't.... where I am from, modern science is using a splint and hoping a limb heals properly.

[That sounds a lot like heresy but he can't blame the guy for where he was born.]

Well, if you couldn't tell, I'm somewhere past a century in age and this lovely lady with me with probably somewhat older.

[Hey, Neal hates magic. It's not his fault he's been surrounded by it before, though.]

Then that's not a problem?

How long have you been a resident of the Tower, Sir?

Can't say for sure.

About a week, I think?

Not very long.

Have you been made aware of the events that took place this past month?

I've heard that some guy named Dax was killed but not the details.

Would you like to take a seat somewhere?

[ She doesn't want the guy to pass out on her. ]

[He nods, looking around for the closest bench of set of chairs.]

Yeah, sure.

[ Amberley finds a bench and takes a seat. She's still within sights of her companion. ]

[He takes a seat next to her, wondering just why she needs some sort of bodyguard here.]

So... how much do you know?

[ She doesn't exactly need it, but she sure does like having him around. ]

Dax wasn't just killed. The psyker was cannibalized by Ruana, another being in control of the tower. He was working in the inside to try to help us. Without him around, I fear it will be much more dangerous in the tower.

Which is why me and Ciaphas are trying to help out how we can. I'm not much of a fighter, I admit, but Ciaphas has seen his fair share of combat over his lifetime. He's a celebrated war hero from where we're from.

[It's probably a very good thing he's sitting down because he feels pretty faint suddenly. He may have come across evil magic before, but the administrators cannibalizing each other? He feels sick.]

That's... that's horrifying.

[But now he has resolution. These guys hate magic, and he does too. And he has a reason to want to help, now.]

I'll do what I can to help. I'm not a war hero, but I have experience with a sword.

[ She grins at that, holding out her hand for a more proper introduction accompanied by a handshake. ]

Amberley Vail. And you are?

[He shakes her hand.]

Neal Cassidy.
