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. ]

A problem with the human race? Aye, so I do. [This is hilarious. No, seriously, he was just going to go force down some oatmeal so his stomach will leave him be for more important things, and he gets roped into this. Lovely.

He leans forward, eyes widening dramatically.] Nary a more lying, deceitful, backstabbing lot ever to walk the earth. Should know, as I be one.

[ She noticeably relaxes at him admitting to being a human. ]

There's some truth to that, I'll admit. [ Girl can barely trust anyone in her own department ] But I'd rather trust my own species than anyone else, and besides, these are trying times were we must try to stick together.

[When you come from the 18th century and your former bosun was a former slave (along with quite a few other loyal crew, lost one way or another), your attitudes on things like racism and such tend to be a bit...Skewed.

And when all your friends are pirates who'd stab you in the back for the last penny on the table, your attitudes on sticking together tend to be...Skewed.

Which is why he chuckles darkly at that, raising an eyebrow.]

There be more than truth to it, and I can tell as such that ye know it. [He pauses, feeling his stomach grumble.] Humans be a shifty lot, lass. Inherently capable of stepping on each other to get places, but I suppose I'm nary surprised that they'd be doing it to others, too.

But it do be a shame to see such a pretty face involved in such an ugly business. [Is that creepy? Yes. Is it meant to be that way? You bet your sweet fanny it is.]

I wouldn't be worried about me.

[ She points off to wherever Cipahas happens to be, but you know it's close at hand. ]

Even if I am incapable of protecting myself from big scary monsters, he does quite a good job of taking care of me.

[ This is only a half truth, the truth part being that Cain would rip anyone to shreads that tries to hurt her with his chainsword if he ever found out about it. ]

[Well, not quite the answer he's been expecting, but one that makes him snort all the same. And his attitude will be why he is forever alone.]

Seems a bit unfair, letting a man pick up slack ye can't handle. A body might think ye may just be in...The wrong line of business.

Oh yes, it's quite a bit unfair. Luckily he doesn't mind too much.

[ She just smiles sweetly. ]

But I've got a job of my own to do. History won't write itself, after all!

[Oh. One of those. W E L P, lady.]

Then that says to me you're definitely in the wrong line of work, as I have little patience for those that twist words for one side, making the other the villain to fit some preconceived notion that good is black and white.

But I suppose ye think ye be on the winning side, and all that.

Of course I'm on the winning side. Though you're wrong, I'd say I'm pretty good at understanding both sides.

Is that so. And please, miss. Do tell. What makes ye so sure of that?

Recording the facts without bias is part of the job.

[ Okay to her credit this is only half bullshit. ]

[At which he holds up the flyer like it's something offensive. Because it is! Just...Not in the way it probably would be to anyone else.]

And I suppose this be a fine example of that lack of bias, eh? Tell me, just what be so bad about the other that ye'd throw in with the murderous, thieving lot we humans be.
