foolishjustice: (So I see...)

There have been a lot of strange incidents over the past months, where people abruptly lost control of themselves and acted on repressed desires, without regard for consequences. I'd like to provide an explanation for them.

When I arrived here, it was at the behest of a powerful and dangerous mage by the name of Masayoshi Shido. He wanted me to sabotage the school, and undermine the faith of both the students and the larger magical community in Daybreak's ability to manage and protect Candles. He wanted to weaken the school's image, in order to take over as the one in charge of overseeing the development of Flames.

He ordered this in complete awareness that such an upset would only hurt humanity's chances of overcoming Nightfall. His only priority was that he, and the people he deemed significant, survived and were able to continue leading their privileged lives. He believed himself to be a destined savior, but thought only a select few were worth saving, even if it meant turning his back on the masses.

I'm coming forward with this now because his conspiracy is finally undone. I told Daybreak's faculty of his schemes in October, and we were finally able to mount a covert counterattack at the end of last month. He wasn't alone in these plans, but his accomplices should be in too much disarray for a while to react effectively. I think I owe this explanation to everyone who's been affected by my actions, so I decided to say something now, while I have the breathing room.

This isn't a plea for forgiveness or mercy, I know everyone this matters to has every right to hate me. But I do hope you sleep a little better, knowing what happened and that there's no further chance of it happening again.

The state you've described, while I haven't been here long enough to witness it myself, sounds familiar to me. Several of my father's competitors have been disgraced by scandals that they would normally have had the control to avoid.

I don't think a guy like that was capable of feeling regret until we gave him a taste of it. I've no regrets about what we did, I'm just sorry for your sake that it had to come to something that drastic.

...But man, Japan is one seriously gacked up place. Glad I got shipped off to Germany instead when I was a kid. The whole culture just seems to have a thing for judging anyone who's out of the ordinary, even if it wasn't their choice.

A power is not bad in itself. Only what it is used for. Having said that, they do tend to align.

Man, that must've been a *real* culture shock. Mardi Gras is never celebrated halfway... and it being so unrestrained must've been baffling.

A call for help won't always be answered or go well. You may find times where it seems like you've got no option again. In that case, remember this and remember to keep looking.
buddinghopes: (huh?)

switching to private

Yeah... I do too.

[And after fiddling with settings a bit--]

What do you plan to do now?

It's a good place, so I can't blame you.

Maybe you should see about getting money out of Shido after everything he's put you through. You deserve it, frankly, and why not add insult to injury?

Wring every last cent out of him you can manage!
buddinghopes: (glad to hear it)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2020-02-07 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, fair point.

Still, that's going to be a pretty significant amount of money, huh? You should use it to take a vacation or something!

Okay, okay, vacation when the semester's over :P

So it only removes their inhibitions, and then they do what they would refuse to otherwise?

I can't imagine you getting a free fuckin' pass just because you went to help them or whatever. You still did a lot of bullshit and, you know, consequences and all that.

Also, shit, you're not worth me putting any effort towards beating the shit out of. I really, sincerely don't give a flying rat's ass about your issues.
