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.

[Kohaku didn't initially have much reaction to this, glancing it over and making a note of it before going about her day.

It wasn't until an hour or two later that she remembered the strange encounter with Jolyne and Jailbreak.]


That was YOU!

Yeah you used it on me to make me get in a fight with someone and then I spent the next month and a half scared that I was being stalked by some crazy mage.

So, you know.

Thanks for that.

So then you were the one who made Adelaide act all mean and attack Desco!
descolation: (>:T)

[personal profile] descolation 2020-02-06 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
But Adelaide wouldn't have acted like that if you didn't mess with her mind, right?

[The specifics, while not entirely lost on her, are a bit difficult to grasp considering she's a ten year old, but she understands about that much.]

Then you should apologize! Desco didn't see one "sorry" in your whole post! And she's sure of that, because she had to read it several times to make sure she understood it!

[...there's probably still a good amount of things she's confused on, but it's fine.]

What? You mean you could alter somebody's heart just like that, and...
infestedcouncilpresident: (Why this)

[personal profile] infestedcouncilpresident 2020-02-06 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Thats

Surprisingly fair

Who will vouch for you in all this?

So that's what all of those weird occurrences with people flying off the handle were caused by. Makes all too much sense now. Cognition's a hell of a thing.

...Glad we dealt with Shido. Knowing the full scope of it now makes me not regret for an instant going to help deal with him. His attitude hit... a little too close to home.

It's good to see you finally come clean. While I was not one of those who had their inhibitions taken, and while any injuries I received weren't lasting, I saw some of the distress you caused in a number of people. I hope you've learned from this.

Thank goodness Shido's been dealt with now.
buddinghopes: (I'm listening)

[personal profile] buddinghopes 2020-02-07 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
I can imagine.

I'm just glad you're free of his crap now.
shockingblue: (Frown)

[personal profile] shockingblue 2020-02-07 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Even that's too kind for someone like him.

He treated you worse than a pawn. More like some kind of attack dog. And for someone in his position, I find that beyond unforgivable. A change of heart was the justice he deserved.

...Hopefully it's the justice that can give you closure along with your freedom too. Even if it takes awhile.
shockingblue: (Serious)

Guy like him? Wouldn't be surprised if he knew you'd back off. I also don't think he gave a single damn in the world if you did find out. Because he probably figured you would either just lose your nerve and fall in line, or he'd have you dealt with for going against his vision.

Considering how twisted his vision of the world was, I'm sure you're right that you'd never be more than a tool. I don't think he would've accepted anyone as his son unless they were in perfect lock-step with him in everything he did.

...Sounds like a rhyming tune to a song I've already danced to.
