[well, at least he's managed to work out computers. Now it's time for a public service announcement. A very short, aggressive one.]This claim that our worlds are gone: it is false. Were my country and its people destroyed, the Will of Heaven would not have allowed me to live. Why is such a lie propagated to all, when it is the cause of so much

[Suzaku doesn't look happy, in fact he looks utterly miserable and his voice is quiet]

I believe it is a ploy to keep us in line from our kidnappers, to make us believe that even were escape possible we have no where to go.

[needsmoartact]

[Keiki's point exactly.]

In that they have failed.

[knightofangst]

It doesn't matter if they have failed or not since they are more than powerful enough to keep us here.

[needsmoartact]

The kidnap itself is not the issue I wish to discuss. I have nothing to say on that point, rather it is the spread of falsehood to cause pain I cannot condone.

Maybe they do it in an attempt to break us? Our faith?

[Because Link is very much PISSED about this as well.]

[needsmoartact]

Maybe. It is reprehensible no matter the reason.

[triforcewielder]

I agree. It's a foul joke.

[evertosoar]

Hey, I shouldn't be here either if my world's gone, but I went back and it all was.

[needsmoartact]

[he's not sure if he's understood correctly]

It was gone?

[evertosoar]

Everything was dead. I couldn't find anyone and it was all--

[He makes a vague gesture.]

But it's not like I'm trying to be all doom and gloom! I mean, we just need to know the situation so we can bring everything back.

[needsmoartact]

[this is most troubling.] I don't think you understand. Were my kingdom destroyed, I would be dead, or dying. A kirin cannot outlive their kingdom.

[Well, this is an interesting prospect.]

What do you mean you wouldn't have been allowed to live? [Is this automatic, or something?]

[needsmoartact]

I am bound by Heaven's mandate to the King of Kei, and her kingdom. As a kirin, I cannot live independently of her majesty or of the Will.

Simply put, there is no reason for a kirin to exist if their kingdom is no more.

[lethechained]

Do you mean that you literally can't live? Like a special bond? [Or magic?]

[text]

[needsmoartact]

Precisely so.

[princesslantern]

Obviously it's a lie. If somethin like this was going to happen, the corps would have known about it. We would have put up a fight.

[needsmoartact]

I'm afraid I do not know of a corps, but I agree. Something so catastrophic would have been foretold by the sages.

[princesslantern]

We're the kind of people that keep countries and people from being destroyed.
