( Please don't stop until my heart no longer screams )

I'm sure a lot of you have noticed there are a lot of people appearing here from a place called Remnant. The world Nova City's guardian is from, all her friends and teachers... and there's a narrative going around that's being told from the perspective of a bunch of kids who don't know what's really going on in the world. They're students and they've gone through something difficult, so their kneejerk reaction is that everything bad that happened to them makes us the bad guys.

The world was broken before we did anything. [ Emerald's face looks concerned, worried. This is her attempt to show the world that just because a bunch of children are scared doesn't mean the people who scared them are wrong. ]

General Ironwood ripped a soul out of someone and bound it to a robot designed like a little girl to turn into a war machine. Headmaster Ozpin kept a woman in that school's basement because he was afraid they would lose her power if someone he couldn't control the person who received it like a puppet, trusting his every word. He chose one of his students instead of an adult, someone who would be able to understand what was happening around them, to carry that burden even if it would destroy her. Weiss may be a kind person, and she's done a lot of good here- I even considered her and her team friends, but her father pays off politicans, commits crimes for selfish reasons, and enslaves people based on their species. That man is the most powerful force in the business world- he can put the average person out of business with the flick of his wrist, and does so long as he can see a few extra dimes out of it. He destroys families, puts people on the streets.

What happened to Vale was sad. [ She looks down, her eyes actually looking like she's earnestly feeling guilty- she was. She really did dislike seeing the whole city burning. ] It was heartbreaking.. but these are the people in charge of this world. Cinder- the woman these people are blaming for all that happened- is not the monster they make her out to be. She saved me from starving on the streets and she's saved plenty of others who need help. We chose to help the oppressed, to fight along the others who had been thrown out like yesterday's trash like we were when those in charge pretended we didn't exist. She killed one of their friends who was trying to stop her, because that person would've killed her if she hadn't. As someone who's been at the mercy of someone from their side and had my life saved by Cinder before one of theirs ran a Dust-infused staff through my chest when I was already down and disarmed, I have no doubt she would've been killed instead of being heard.

[ She shakes her head, closing her eyes tightly before opening them up again. There's pain in her voice, pleading. ] What hope did anyone have when those people in power are such monsters? Of course we had to do something. I'm sorry for the lives that were lost. I'm sorry for the strife some of you had to go through. We didn't want to start a war, but when the people who lead you are the ones who pretend to be the good guys and hide the biggest sins from their followers, what else are we supposed to do? Fall in line and hope the world becomes a kinder place than it is? We chose to fight to have our voices heard. If what they were doing was really destined to fall on the right side of history, the whole world wouldn't have fallen onto separate sides of this so quickly.

All I'm asking is that you not forget that these teenagers- not even adults yet- are being forced to fight a war their leaders have kept secret from them for far too long and they don't understand why. They especially don't understand what they're fighting for besides their lives and their friends' lives, but that's not enough. They chose to become trainees, they should know what they're really fighting for. They should be angry. If they have to direct that at us because we had to take some routes that were harder, that's fine. But if you hunt us down for doing what was right in a situation none of you understand, that you've been lied to about since the beginning, how does that make you the heroes and us the villains?

You asked me to tell the truth when we last met, Ozpin. Your turn.

Action | Outside the Bay

[Cas, clad in torn, form-fitting jeans, a tank top, and a black leather biker jacket, stands with her arms crossed, watching the hologram of Weiss as she explains everything. Her eyes dart to the maps the hologram indicates and she takes one, sharp brown eyes scanning over first one map, then another, of each of the five cities, glancing up every so often to look around.

None of these smells were familiar, except the normal smells of a city: oil, exhaust, asphalt, mortar...city smells. It didn't smell like New York, the place she'd just been, but she was thankful for her metabolism to burn off the whiskey she'd had...however long ago.]

Kidnapped? [She wasn't talking to anyone in particular, though she was looking at the map at the time.] Who would want to kidnap me?

[He breathes a sigh, pocketing the cash in her wallet (at least that was still in her pocket).] Well, thanks, kidnappers. Don't mind if I do.

[The place didn't feel safe, but after two years on the road, she'd gotten used to the feeling. It seemed late, though not as late at it had been back...home? Yeah, home was as good a name for it as possible. She wrapped the necklace she'd been provided around her wrist and looks around, the looks down at the phone that had been in the box. It's a lot more fancy than her own prepaid model, but it's not like she's never used one.] Other kidnap-pees, huh?

Audio

[The voice that comes across the feed is young but mature, and while she doesn't sound exactly shy, she does sound a little uncertain about the whole thing. From the sounds of it and the wind, she's also outside.]

So...this just goes out to everybody. That's...different. [Yeah, Cas. They heard that, too.] I guess that makes this easier. The hologram just sort of casually mentioned there being other people kidnapped here? I guess it's nice to know I'm not alone. [And...I have no idea what to say to you people, or what to expect. There aren't any other weres here, at least...?] She also mentioned some sort of visitor's center, but it's a little late for that. [Maybe? Probably?] Is there a cheap hotel somewhere around here?
