Finding those abducted civilians forced your hand early, but you did gain some more insight into the type of people she is targeting; and theories ran wild. When you get back to your current place in the shanty town you can still hear the ring of cell phones every 15 minutes in different quadrants but eventually die out and leaves the place in an ominous pre-dawn silence. The air feels tense. She could lash out any minute, and she does not disappoint. A distant, obnoxious ring tone breaks the silence, and then another, and another, staggered slightly as to not be an obvious mass message. The sounds break across the shanty town like a slow rolling wave, heading towards you. There is a long, quiet pause as you wait for your phones to go off and then each of your phone go off simultaneously. It's footage clips from your battle in the Dome. White hybrids dash around Calvin and his pack tearing into Lotus' guards and what look to be normal civilians trying to protect themselves; but you recall that location was swarming with demons. Maggie callously executes guards trying to move their wounded to safety, David is shown pushing the priest from the sound booth before running off camera, a blur of "Injin Joe" savagely cleaving a man's head open. Each clip artfully strung together to smear each of you in a negative light. Then text scrolls across the screen, "But I saved the very best for last..." Valen is framed in the very center. Instantly, you know this is from the very depths of Despair's lair, the exact room where the clockworks were first revealed to be more precise. Instead of automatically playing, this one taunts you with the big opaque "play" symbol in the center. Push Play to "watch" the video State if you watched the final clip, or if you've seen enough and delete/close your phone. Then explain your reaction to what you've seen. -------------------------------------------------- Rewards: Individual - +10 exp Group - Stealing Beth's idea - you get a one time use "do over" decided upon as a group - will last until Lotus' chapter is resolved. |

I close my phone calmly, looking grimly as though a part of me just died, I open a portal and walk through. Oh and yes. |

Xerxes looks up from his phone and looks around. Keeping his thoughts to himself " Well that just happened, What's next" |

Maggie watched in grim horror all the way to the end. "Fuck," she muttered as she jammed the phone back into her pocket. She glanced up at Calvin adding, "I'm gonna make that cunt eat her own asshole." What do we do now? We could make another video out of her footage, reorder the clips to make the story seem like something else entirely. It's easily done, and may remind people how easily a story can be twisted in media. Make it a love story. That might give people a pause to think for themselves. I don't want to just not respond, that looks like we're just rolling over and accepting her shit as truth. But if we get into a back and forth video war, we look like squabbling fourth graders. I'm not sure it even matters at this point. The ones who are going to fight have always wanted a fight, and the rest are just going to try not to be collateral damage. I'm not cut out for this. I'm an art major, for fuck's sake. Ohh... but what if I WAS a political science major? Or knew one? Or you, know... went to school with a few hundred? Maggie dug out her phone and started hunting for the number to the registrar's office. |

Calvin stewed on the video for a moment, refusing to meet anyone's eye contact. Valen had retreated to whatever hellscape he fancied this time, Xerxes was clueless as ever, and Maggie was just as pissed as he was. They should have just stuck to plan A, a vague message and kicking in her front door. After a few moments he started to gather himself. He texted Killer to get a laptop and get to work on something for him. He texted around back in Columbus for people to get as much consented footage and photographs of the wounded, the ailing, the funeral, and as much eyewitness testimony of the events that were a direct effect of Lotus's betrayal. He gathered what was sent and forwarded it to Killer to put together, accompanied with text. "It's true that video footage can be easily manipulated, especially by those with the resources and talent at their disposal. It's clear no video of evidence can exactly be taken as fact in this day and age, but actions resonate. The Uratha have suffered numerous casualties at the hands of a known werewolf hater. She struck when our backs were turned facing a greater threat that she denies exists, even after having her own men slaughtered by one of their kind in the blink of an eye. Even after the demon Pride humiliated her she'd rather turn on her would-be allies and make them into enemies, too hungry for power and rank. "Ask yourselves what sense any of this makes. What would we have to gain in slaughtering her men unprovoked? Surely we would have known she would use her influence against us. What sense does it make that we would slaughter the clockworks (the image enhances the destroyed clockworks on the ground around the room) if we were the ones in control of them? (The footage switches to the clockworks underground) Why would we bother exposing these if they were our servants, previously unknown to the general population, unless you count the poor souls being taken, tormented, and slaughtered in the shanty towns surrounding the dome? "(The footage switches to show the wounded and affected from Lotus's actions, the scarred and disfigured) The greater threat we all share is still present, but Lotus only cares to further her own agendas. As we stated before, we are here for her and her people. The view the populace of Atlanta as our allies, but Lotus must pay for the atrocities she's committed against the Uratha and against the Lance. We are here for the people, and right now that means bringing her a swift justice." (The footage continues to play any testimony from the survivors of the battle in the dome. At the end, the footage is black, with only text on the screen) "Lotus, you tried to slaughter my people and silence us so that you may reign over this city, turning a blind eye to the demon threat and to the catastrophe that will occur if they are not stopped, whether it be brought on by them or one of the organizations that would enact an insurance policy. Little pig little pig, your days are numbered." Once completed Calvin shows it to Maggie. "Any proposed changes before this goes to Satchel for propagation?" |
