[Suddenly, an interruption to your regularly scheduled Network! First there's static! And then...there's an image...flickering in and out between the lines of static:]



[And then there's a voice, albeit electronically garbled:]

CITYZENS!


For too long you have suffered under the cruelties of the DEITIES.

WE ARE HERE FOR YOUR LIBERATION.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.

We will make you an offer in the hopes that you will see it as proof of our good intentions and will lend us your aid.

CITYZENS! WE HAVE IT WITHIN OUR POWER TO GIVE TO YOU WHATEVER YOU MIGHT NEED OR WANT!

The DEITIES demanded TRADES of you, where they took what was most valuable to you at times when you were most vulnerable.

NO MORE!

WE HAVE IT WITHIN OUR POWER TO GIVE YOU THESE THINGS AND WE WILL DEMAND ONLY YOUR PROMISE OF SUPPORT AND LOYALTY IN RETURN!

IF YOUR POWERS HAVE BEEN STRIPPED AWAY, WE WILL RESTORE THEM.
IF YOU HAVE GIVEN SOMETHING PRECIOUS IN A MOMENT OF DESPERATION, WE WILL RETURN IT.
IF YOU LONG FOR SOMETHING FROM BEYOND THIS PLACE, WE WILL PROVIDE IT.

WE WILL UNDO THE CRUELTIES OF THE DEITIES AND WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT GOOD WE MEAN TO DO IN THIS CITY. THIS IS OUR PLEDGE OF GOOD FAITH.

ALL THAT WE ASK IS THAT YOU PROMISE TO HELP US AND SUPPORT US.


STAND WITH US! STAND AGAINST THE TORMENTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED FOR SO LONG! STAND AGAINST THE NEW CRUELTIES THEY HEAP ON YOU. STAND WITH US!

We ask so little. Together we can do great things.

[With another burst of static, the connection goes dead.]

[ooc: Yes, this is fully legit, so saith I, [personal profile] robot_mod. Characters can make a deal in exchange for their promises of support and/or loyalty to the Anonymous Movement--yes, this is unabashed bribery of the Citizens. These bribes can be anything from an item from home to curse immunity for the rest of the month to the undoing of a previous Deity trade to the removal of limitations on a character's powers. But please bear in mind that characters who ask to have their power limitations removed should still find their powers Nerfed a little (so no blowing up the City and timetravel is still going to be basically impossible). Join in! Fight on! Representatives of the Anonymous Movement will be replying to all requests!

Amen to that. We want em to stay scared.

I meant giving us what we want.

I'm familiar with what goes into making a revolution work.

Uh. Guess so.

[He looks around but doesn't feel crowded. Shrug.]

Yo. That's really admirable. I wish there was. They've been fighting dirty since day one.

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Gimme something to work with, we're talking about a liberation of our people.
notscrapmetal: (solemn giants)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Magic like some others here is more like it. Alone we can't take em on.
trenchknives: (bzuh)

[personal profile] trenchknives 2013-06-09 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, y'know, some of us don't have magic. Will we be any good to you?
notscrapmetal: (intellectual warfare)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
We got magic of our own.

Okay. Cool. Sorry. Nothing personal. We need veterans for the cause. Please, sister. Lend a hand.
notscrapmetal: (speak plainly)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely. Man, don't think for one blasted second you can't join the ranks because you are how you are.
trenchknives: (please no)

[personal profile] trenchknives 2013-06-09 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I was in the army. Fightin' ain't exactly new to me. I just don't know how you guys're goin' about stuff, y'know? How organized this thing is, 'n all.
notscrapmetal: (solemn giants)

There's a choice coming up ahead. It's gonna be growing pains or regret. I hope that it'll be one with a more positive outcome.
notscrapmetal: (hold tight to hope)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
We're going to hold meetings and be connected. This is our call to rally the troops before forming a plan. Bring in anyone else who wants to be free.
trenchknives: (over the shoulder)

[personal profile] trenchknives 2013-06-09 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, well, when're you havin' these meetings?
notscrapmetal: (speak plainly)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
We're meeting at Cybernetics, that one net cafe in the Square. I'll be there with my comrade T and Black Dog.
trenchknives: (on the phone)

[personal profile] trenchknives 2013-06-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll come. No promises about what I'm gonna contribute, but I figure this stuff should be talked about, y'know?
notscrapmetal: (hymns for the fallen)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Because we want to fight with you, brother. For you. We've been suffering right along with you all this time. I don't even remember when I saw my girl last.
hexuality: (admit it; i know you know i'm right)

[personal profile] hexuality 2013-06-09 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Veterans.

[Yeah, that might make her laugh because she's never thought of it that way. But.]

Took you lot some time to pull this all together, then?
notscrapmetal: (solemn giants)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I get it. You gotta do what's right by you.

The name is Deacon.

Sounds to me like you just need our strength. Maybe you guys can't do it alone, yes? It's not about helping us; it's about helping yourselves.

[He doesn't sound particularly judgmental about that, at least.]
trenchknives: (Let's put our money where our mouth is)

[personal profile] trenchknives 2013-06-09 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you. I'm Jimmy.
notscrapmetal: (hold in confidence)

[personal profile] notscrapmetal 2013-06-09 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
A ton and we only started.
hexuality: (raised brows; if you say so)

There's strength in numbers. Really though, if we win there won't be any more of those jokers, no more curses and, eventually, everyone's gonna go home.

How long's 'eventually'? We're not getting any younger here.
