LIVE!

Who: Cardigan
Where: in front of the game tower
When: Day 39

[Here's Cardigan. They're never and full uniform and that applies today, dressed in just a plain undershirt. Even the sword customarily on their hip is missing.]

It's been a long couple of days so I'll try to make this short.

Avante's 'oath' Live hasn't been put to much use yet, but I want to make one now.

The oath is this: I swear to every unit that I will always work to minimize harm, and to do my utmost to prevent death and suffering among all units, as much as the protection of my own unit allows.

[a short pause, oath done.] I know that sounds pretty watered-down, but I think we're better of acknowledging that when it comes down to it, we all want to protect our own units and those we care about above anything else.

[Now,]

I do truly believe the best thing we can do to protect our own units is to protect each other. For that we need to be able to trust each other. Despite some of the outcomes of the last game, I think it was pretty good proof that we can trust each other to do what's right.

But a big part of trust is accountability when trust is broken. Games like the last aren't going to stop while we're here, and there's even been violence outside the games. [not pointing any fingers ZRAEL but you know who you are.]

I've already made this clear to Taisho, but I don't intend to keep it a secret. If Yasuragi again willfully acts to cause death or intolerable suffering to anyone here, I will kill him, outside of the tower. If, before that time, we as a community establish guidelines on how to deal with what violence we can control, or if Taisho presents a reasonable plan of action, I'll happily submit to that instead.

[That appears to be the bulk of the announcement.]

Thanks for listening. I have two things left I want to mention.

First, anyone who prefers to think there's no point in trying because we're helpless victims of the games should remember that it's the same Hosts running the games that make us all better afterward, and the same Hosts that give us our abilities. Consider carefully how much you want to continue to depend on that 'goodwill'.

Second, with that in mind, anyone else who can swear to do their best to protect their fellow idols is fee to join me in my oath.

Now now. Don't get angry. They just want to do what's right and be spiteful at the same time. These qualities both work well in our favor.
