[accidental....er, well, it's not much of a video really]

[The first thing you see when the video starts up is....fur. Lots and lots of fur. This fur blob seems to be rubbing itself against the web-cam, and the whole rest of the laptop, and even though you can't see anything else past it you can still hear a familiar nightmare's voice in some sort of one-sided conversation.]

It was never a big deal before

I'm afraid the month is just beginning.

You sound like you have someone in particular in mind.

[samriprosecutor]

Not in particular... But there were several people being fed disinformation on that post. The picture she was painting for them didn't leave you any opportunity for a good first impression.

And if they all choose to believe her crap and refuse to work with me over things that's their own problem. The worst most of them can do is bitch and moan at me for a while.

Provided that's the most they--or any of their friends and colleagues--can do, that's all well and good. But I'm loathe to allow lies or half-truths to be spread, regardless of the subject...and even more loathe to stand back and allow a good man to be threatened over a benevolent and unavoidable act.

....a "good man", hm?

Some things just can't be helped. And I don't need someone trying to stand up for me only to get caught up in it themselves. As I said, I'll think of something.

[samriprosecutor]

Hm. I don't suppose you'd be willing to keep me informed on what that 'something' will be.

[darkmirror_vr2]

....yeah, of course.

...It's not in my nature to sit idly by and simply let injustices occur. Yet time and again that's what's demanded of me by the mores of this place.

It's...extremely nettling.

....I know how you feel. But this time I do have to ask you to.

You'll exercise the utmost caution when dealing with her?

[Locked]

[darkmirror_vr2]

Do I ever not? Relax, I can handle this.

[samriprosecutor]

And if at any point it begins to look like you can't...?

[Locked]

[darkmirror_vr2]

It won't.

Are you exaggerating to dissuade me from involving myself further, or are you really so confident in your own abilities?

[darkmirror_vr2]

I'm telling you to have a little more faith in me than that.
