[ 02 ] video ~ dated to after evening sirens

[theosen]

[ The sun has finally set, and when the video opens, its to the pitch black gloom of a decaying city from a rooftop in Sector One. Monsters rove the streets in packs, each more grotesque than the last, and it seems as though the one recording them is only all too fascinated with their destructive capabilities.

Finally, a voice like age-old gravel addresses the scene below, a dark silhouette only just now made visible as he perches on the edge of a rooftop. ]

The world unwinds again.

[ He gestures with a clawed hand, his tone only growing darker the longer than he speaks. ]

Forever lending itself to chaos and destruction, not even the souls of the damned have a say in what manner they are to exist.

Humanity's struggle against the tide of time is pointless, a meaningless effort that bears only the light of death, the inevitable end of a once untainted world. As worthless as they are destructive, their existence is but a cancer.

[ A dark shape drops down suddenly, attempting to latch onto the speaker. Jerking about, his eyes glowing a blistering white, he all but tears the Death Squid off him, its body ripped to shreds by a powerful unseen force.

Turning his gaze towards the NV, there's an almost mad sort of gleam there, a fury that will not abate. ]

You have twenty-four hours before I raze this city to the ground.

Fight me, if you dare.

[ He vanishes then, and the feed cuts off. ]


[ ooc: Another for the 7DS Plot, Proxy One has been hit with Wrath. Obviously, he won't actually get to destroy the city (Alucard will stop him, I think), but if you want to encounter a wrathful Proxy? Just be warned, he won't be playing nice. ]

Re: voice;

[gaveherwings]

But he could destroy you!

[awakenings]

I'm not letting people die because of him!

[gaveherwings]

You promised me you'd try to resist it!

[awakenings]

My life isn't worth this city, goddammit!

1/2

[gaveherwings]

That's not FAIR!

2/2

[gaveherwings]

You don't get to decide that for me.

[awakenings]

You can't ask me to let him do what he wants.

[gaveherwings]

You don't think going to him is doing just that?

[awakenings]

So you'd prefer if I let him do what he pleases? Let him wreck havoc on this city?

[gaveherwings]

He's only using deadlines to taunt you.

[I hope.]

[awakenings]

And if he's not?

[gaveherwings]

You are not the only one with an obligation to protect this city.

[awakenings]

And where are they?

[gaveherwings]

I see several takers.

[awakenings]

Who will die against him.

[gaveherwings]

And yet you're unconcerned for my concern for you.
