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.

[Ace COULD swear, but will he? So far he seems content to lurk far enough away to (probably) be out of camera range and just...watch Cardigan be Cardigan.

As usual he is neatly dressed in full uniform, including gloves, though his hair is (also as usual) a lost cause.]

Woah, so dramatic! I promise to do my very best too! Iiiiiif you've found out what exactly happens, when someone dies outside of the tower, y'know?

[ muttering ]

This ridiculous demand again!

[ Well, he has time to get his ink and then march out to the game tower

COUNTERLIVE where he writes a declaration in pen and then presents a written oath ]

If you require it in writing, then I shall present it you now! Taisho has no intention of letting others dictate our actions! If it is necessary, then I will take action in Yasuragi's stead, I swear to it here and now.

Do we have any hard rules about making someone real small and putting them in a jar with holes poked in the lid?

[Sigh.

She's going to try to talk to Cardigan WITHOUT the rest of Taisho around.]
unbr8kable: (really now)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-09-20 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Just what sort of action are you swearing to take?
syncintohell: (Pilgrims)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-09-20 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I said what is necessary, did I not? I have no idea what will be asked in advance.

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-09-20 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
As a deterrent for murder. Tiny jail.

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-09-20 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Cardigan's statement was pretty clear. Yours isn't. Unless you're volunteering to die next time your teammate decides to be a dick...?

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-09-20 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
That'd work out for everybody, wouldn't it?
rollplayinghouse: (ca2-017-3)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-09-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[PRESUMABLY.

When she finds them, she just offers:]

For the record, I'm fine with that situation. You could have just killed him without the prior warning. Now he'll know what he's getting into.
neigh_sayer: (W O W)

[personal profile] neigh_sayer 2018-09-20 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Huuuh? Just die? That's no good! If they're dead, they can't ever come back. . .isn't that kind of unfair, taking it out of the tower?
syncintohell: (From atop a mechanical skyscraper)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-09-20 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hah! I would sooner take off Cardigan's head than submit to another's authority.

I said what is necessary precisely because it isn't clear in advance what we will need to do. I do not care what is being threatened, Taisho's decisions are not yours to dictate!
rollplayinghouse: (s32)

[personal profile] rollplayinghouse 2018-09-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine. I can't promise half my unit will ever be reasonable, though.
columbidaring: (7)

[personal profile] columbidaring 2018-09-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe just as an emergency fight-stopper then.
unbr8kable: (how bizzare)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2018-09-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like you can do what you want. You just got a heads-up of what'll happen in a certain case.
syncintohell: (the light through the darkness)

[personal profile] syncintohell 2018-09-20 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
To act as though rank threats are not demands for control is absurd.
