[Accidental Video]

[The tablet turns on and it quickly becomes obvious that the owner is not aware it is on, especially since the camera is first blocked by a piece of dark fabric and when the owner steps forward it is clear it was a part of her dark kimono. Misaki slowly kneels down in front of a makeshift altar, a round table that has been torn in half and placed

You look very lovely in the kimono. I'm sorry the tablets interrupted your ceremony. [A pause]

I'm not certain what to make of her, though I do know that nothing good ever comes from such powerful people thinking they're worthy of making such important decisions.

Thank you, no harm was done. I simply would rather some had not seen something I had kept secret. [She inclines her head in gratitude none-the-less.]

As for Themis, I must agree. I think we may have all experienced a situation where somebody in power made a decision which hurt us and the ones we care for. It is not something we can change, unfortunately. We have learned time and time again that we are powerless in this place.

Do you mind me asking what you were keeping a secret? [Because she can't quite figure out what there could be secret.]

I don't believe we're completely powerless here, at least not as much as some seem to think.

[godlessblossom]

What can we do, in your opinion?

[She glances toward the mini shrine.]

I wanted to keep at least one secret to myself in this place. It did not matter what, just that I had one secret to myself that this place would not expose. Now I have nothing.

[She doesn't want to add to Misaki's embarrassment, so she ignores the first part.]

I don't really get what she expects us to be able to prove to her, except maybe that we're all really resilient and would fight to make our worlds better if given the chance.

[godlessblossom]

[Her eyes flicker away for just a moment at the last part.]

If we knew what she expected of us then it would be possible to prove our worlds deserve a chance. I believe this may be why she did not tell us otherwise we would present false faces.

[video]

[voodooing]

Maybe. Or maybe she just doesn't want our worlds to be saved. I don't know. I think we're just...damned if we do and damned if we don't.

[video]

[godlessblossom]

How pleasant. [She sighs, holding a hand to her head.] As much as I dislike the thought of returning home I do not enjoy the thought of it being destroyed.

[That picture... It's hard not to feel a some sadness well.]

Perhaps I should get you a case...? [To keep the communicator from capturing private moments. Ruka doesn't feel it necessary to bring up what was broadcast, but she doesn't bother hiding the concern written plainly on her face.]

[video]

[godlessblossom]

[Of course, the one person she did not want to see that. Her face is carefully blank as she nods.]

I believe that would work. We should all have one.

[video]

[flowingsong]

I agree; I'm surprised it's not something we thought of earlier. [A big, hardy case, one that covered most of the tablet--maybe the mic, too, would save many a lot of embarrassment.

. . .] You all right? [It's meant to come off as a general question, not pertaining to anything in particular, but it's more than a little obvious as to what it is asked in regards to.]

[video]

[godlessblossom]

[She nodded in agreement, looking forward to something which would save from further embarrassment. Upon the subject change she looks uncomfortable for just a moment before holding her head high and speaking with confidence.]

I am fine. A year has passed since my arrival and I thought it was past time I paid my respects to those I didn't have a chance to mourn before.

I feel like we're kind of back where we started... except Hades had already decided to destroy everything, and this Themis is still making up her mind.

It doesn't seem very fair, judging whole worlds on just a few people. I don't know what torturing us is supposed to prove anyhow, but no matter what we do or don't do, it's not like any one of us can be the face of a whole world. There are so many different ways for people to be...

[video]

[godlessblossom]

It is possible she will bring in more people from our worlds so she has a wider array to judge from. She did mention that the more people she brought in the more information she would have.

[She crosses her arms over her chest.]

However no matter how much we object, there is little chance of us being able to do anything.

[to_rebel]

I wonder how long and how often we are to be tested. [Someone's had quite enough, thanks.]

[video]

[godlessblossom]

[She shares the sentiment.]

Until we are completely broken, it seems. I am tired of these powers who believe they have a right to judge us and harm us.

[video]

[to_rebel]

They have no right.

[video]

[godlessblossom]

No, they do not, but we lack the power to stop them.
