WEEKLY BULLETIN


[This week, the bulletin opens with a video. It's been shot from a webcam that seems to be perched atop a computer screen, and in front of the screen is Robin, biting her lip as she types frantically. If she meant to start recording herself, she doesn't show it. A timestamp in the corner reads 17 NOV 03:02.

The room behind her is cozy, resembling the control deck of a battleship as redecorated by a teenage girl. That's essentially what it is, after all. The red beam of the lighthouse flares occasionally at the top of the screen.

Robin's harried typing continues for a few moments, uninterrupted, until a shadow slinks up from the staircase behind her. One by one, strings of fairy lights flicker out, the room going dark save for the glow of the screen. Robin finally notices just before the last of the lights die, her hands freezing on the keyboard, but she doesn't dare turn around, not yet.

This video comes with sound, and everyone's device's volume will crank to max volume to really emphasize Robin's shaky breaths as she listens, head tilting to glance over her shoulder at the darkness. The image flickers, crackling with static and distortion, until—]

[Robin whips around, her chair toppling over as she stands, but the video crackles again, and she's flung back against the desk. The computer screen crashes to the floor, taking the camera with it, and the feed stays focused on the floor for a long, long time. Eventually, it fades into static.

When it clicks back on again, the camera has been cocked up just enough to pull the room into view again. The timestamp in the corner reads 28 NOV 14:26.

Robin is slumped against the wall, filthy with blood and sweat, eyes glassy as she stares up at the forest spirit looming over her. The spirit cranes their head toward the camera, their eyes flashing green, and they wave to the viewers in a clumsy, jerking motion. Then, they drop something heavy and metallic in front of Robin, and she jumps at the sudden noise. It's a lantern, long broken and in pieces.

The forest spirit tips forward at the waist, bending down to press their face against Robin's as she whimpers and tries to keep still. They negotiate their forehead against hers, their green eyes flashing until she musters the courage to look up, and then they trill.

There's a scream, and the feed again cuts to static.]

You didn't. It's not fair that you were killed. It's not fair that anyone was killed.

These spirits are different from the ones in Beacon. We have names for those in town... the Postmaster, the Librarian.
We see each other and exist as individuals, we care if anything happens to us. Our hearts are connected.
That's a sign that this can work. That it has worked. A suffering heart has trouble seeing anything outside of its own pain, I understand that, and I know what I'm asking is a lot.

You and I haven't killed each other, but hundreds of people just like us over nearly a hundred years... have. It's going to take work to reverse everything they might think they know about us. But I believe it can be done. I'm not asking you to trust blindly. I'm asking you to give building that trust a chance.

I thought so too, back when I arrived.
I don't know what else I can do.
But will NOT let them kill me again. If anyone comes after me, I'll kill it. There's no negotiating with these things once they are set on skewering you like a rabbit for a roast.

You are standing in the defense of these creatures, and yet those same creatures may have pushed previous people to their limit. The Keeper said that before. That people went crazy here. One doesn't just choose to suddenly turn into a maniac.

Those hallucinations, the green-eyed spirits- ever thought that people got tortured into madness. Into killing themselves- unintentionally or on purpose.

I've given them a chance. I've been giving them chances since I arrived months and months ago. Always doubting Keeper over those creatures, letting her be the responsible one for what happened.

Not anymore.

Hey, repeating myself here, but I'm not defending them. I'm not justifying what the spirits do.
Absolving or holding to account these guys based on our sense of right and wrong is pointless.
Exploring the really difficult opportunities might just be key to our survival.

For what it's worth, we do a pretty good job sickening our hearts all by ourselves. But the green eyed spirits sure know how to help that along.

Anyway. Thanks for hearing me out. I am sorry about what happened to you.

[There are so many things that settle wrong with Xayah as he says that. She was a former warrior, killer, by now probably even recognized as a war criminal, if Vastayans found peace with humans. There is nothing, nothing more important than life and freedom.

Both of which were taken away from her during her life and now in death too.]


I'm not going to be anyone's puppet or experiment. And I don't need pity from you.

A puppet? Experiment? Pity?
Give yourself some credit and give me a break.
I understand you're hurting and you're angry, but that doesn't give you a pass for what you do and say with it.
featherknives: (Watch your toes)

[personal profile] featherknives 2019-12-03 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
This place doesn't see us as anything but yet another attempt to solve the mess they themselves probably created.
I refuse to die over and over again for some kind of "learning experience"
And nothing gives you a pass to tell me what to do or think
You go back to your murdering spirit buddies
And tell them that if any one of them even crosses my path, I'll kill it

Again you confuse compassion for pity. Boundaries for orders. You're so blinded by your anger all you see are threats all around you.
What you want is something to take your hurt and anger out on.
Sorry, but I'm not your guy.
featherknives: (Default)

[personal profile] featherknives 2019-12-03 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
the day will come when you as well will die by their hands
I'll see your pity and compassion then,when your dying moments come to haunt you.
Until then, you are right, you are not my guy.
