blackestwool*There's a video feed, but all it shows is a black headband over the eyes of a heavily shadowed face. The shot was obviously planned to not reveal anything, and the audio feed's warped to conceal her true voice.*
It's funny, isn't it?
How there's this huge category in the D-Comm marked "Hostiles" amidst all the other social groupings around this place.
Almost like people would want to hide what they were writing from them. As if they could hide anything that we really wanted to know.
Pardon my filtering my identity out. You can call me the Woolen Spider of Malcanthet for the moment. It represents me better than my real name, anyways.
Now, who might be interested in a little help? Say, dealing with some of the deluded types who call themselves "heroes"? I've also heard some... Interesting rumors about Tetha. I must admit, all these people aligning against them, I'd love to subvert a few key ones, if pointed the right way.
I am willing to organize a choice meeting within as little of five minutes of a request, at your wish.

Date: 2010-07-10 06:05 am (UTC)You just hold on ONE MINUTE!
Nobody is lining up against US! We've already set our sights on each and every one of those pathetic chumps!
... Or so Ravemon likes to think, anyway. Too many wildcards, not enough proactive elimination.
I guess a whole world IS harder to subvert than a kingdom and its surrounding provinces... and it's not like there's any universe-unlocking items of power out there for easy swiping...
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 06:14 am (UTC)Still, if it's proactive elimination you want, I might be able to assist. Then again, in the right context, I might be capable of... "Realigning" some people.

Date: 2010-07-10 06:19 am (UTC)Now, if you can get the big boss sorts, THEN it's worthwhile. You can ruin the whole thing in one fell swoop.
But that's only good setup material for a subsequent chapter, only if you're sure there's gonna be one. Otherwise, it's a waste of valuable resources.
Now, going after a few people, that might be worth it. Might even be worth a bounty, if you can hit a good, plot-relevant target. Of course, the challenge in THAT is finding one. War's never got central figures on the good guys' side, except a couple of the better generals...

Date: 2010-07-10 06:21 am (UTC)Baaa.
... I told you to be quiet!
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 06:25 am (UTC)Anyway, what is your method? You've got my interest.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 06:30 am (UTC)Oof!
All you have to do is, with just the right tool, lay bare their ideals, and show what their own heroes are really like. I have yet to meet any who can withstand the truth enough to not abandon their pathetic ideals.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 06:37 am (UTC)Not so good on the anti-heroes and the experienced sorts. How long have you been playing for the winning team?
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 06:41 am (UTC)Without the boring details... The birth of my real identity was seven years ago, and I have served my Kage for my entire time as a kunoichi.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 06:47 am (UTC)Just how old ARE you, Kunoichi?

Date: 2010-07-10 06:54 am (UTC)I am a teenager by this place's standards... But so are most of the most powerful ninja in my world, so...

Date: 2010-07-10 06:59 am (UTC)There's plenty of heroes I've faced. Besides Billy, all either died, or ended up being good friends after my treatment.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 07:09 am (UTC)Either that, or you're still coming into things. Not even a true antagonist?
Hmmm, maybe not. Maybe you just haven't had the right hero come along.
Listen here, a good villain needs good rivals. You push around the pawns like they're nothing, and you're just the lord of nothing! A rival makes you grow, makes you better, more evil, more appreciative of the finer things in life and how you take them!
I'm all for the black and white interpretation of things, makes it nice and easy in fact, but an antagonist has to have some conflict of their own, or they're just mid-boss material!
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 07:16 am (UTC)And I view allowing rivals to develop as entirely impractical. Why not eliminate them in the first place?
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 07:22 am (UTC)And like I said. A villain without a rival is only defined by those he defeats. If nobody can give you a challenge, then you're either a long-haired pretty-boy destined for destruction at the hands of another pretty-boy, just some thug waiting for a hero to come around and step on along the way to a bigger story hook.

Date: 2010-07-10 07:46 am (UTC)And you don't get to pick, it's just what your abilities make you.
The Hyperion Hotel has plenty of good victims worth pursuing, every day more and more people move in. Just be careful there, too much pushing will get the whole place after you.
DATS Neon's also good, some overlap with the Hyperion. It also helps that they're trying to be the Bastion of law and order in the town. You'll get on the map with them, but they are kinda the fallback victims.
M.A.G.I. isn't that good of a target. It's a soft target, don't get me wrong, but it's not about good or evil with them. They're more a balancing type. Neutral targets don't get any reaction. Still, might be worth it for individual runs... That can be quite rewarding.
Then there's always Junk City... lots of gangs out there, plenty of room for a person to make a mark and gain a few levels, if you're into the whole RPG thing. But it's tough out there. It might eat you alive.

Date: 2010-07-10 05:59 pm (UTC)Ideally, a ninja should never work alone. In my world, a team of three or four is considered ideal, particularly if that team's abilities are well-balanced.
More significantly, I'm tired of waiting for a chance to cause some real trouble here.

Date: 2010-07-11 12:59 am (UTC)Tell me, would you like to meet up and choose a place to cause a little trouble? I'm thinking a choice location in Neon would be just lovely...
no subject
Date: 2010-07-11 03:06 am (UTC)Good luck to you however~
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 02:41 pm (UTC)Heeeee, maybe it's a Ram, Ram ram ram!
And what's with that low term. You say "deal with", I rather just kill as hard as I can! Besides, no better way to get rid of something than shoot it full of holes! But if you got the power to help me take out these idiots like the chumps they are, then I'm aaaall ears.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-10 06:03 pm (UTC)Killing is one thing... But I rather prefer my choice rehabilitation, given the chance. After all, an enemy turned ally is often the best ally of all.

no subject
Date: 2010-07-14 05:29 am (UTC)Or one that is... close enough, at least.
no subject
Date: 2010-07-14 06:16 am (UTC)After all, some of us have the blessings of beings far superior to us, that in turn make us far superior to the typical, weak human who has to rely on foolish ideals.

Date: 2010-07-14 04:56 am (UTC)Well then, Woolen Spider of Malcanthet, my name is Dr. Finitevus, and I would much like a meeting with you. I know of quite a few deluded heroes. Those who are corrupt and cannot see it.
Perhaps with our interests, we could work out a sound partnership.
