16th Campaign [Video] Open: Max 7 (Backdated Dec 9th)
Good evening, everyone. I am Satsuki Kiryuin, Guardian of Nova City, and due to the recent.. Unveiling of information, I believe that I owe you an explaination, To those of you that stood up for me, I am thankful for your kind words, but I believe that in situations like these it is most effective to handle things on my own. So, I will attempt to be as concise as possible.
First I would like to make clear that the evidence of Dr Albert Wily's tampering of the election is new to me. Some of you are aware that I challenged Wukong to reveal that information; and that was because I was confident he made-up the existance of this proof. After all, in the previous elections he had made the same accusations but had never brought that evidence to light. But I also warned him that if somehow it does exist, he should be prepared for the consequences, which he took for a threat but I will clarify on that shortly.
He is not wrong in that I have spoken to him in a manner that would damage ones pride. Where I come from, the ability to crush your opponents morale before the blade is drawn is an uncommon and priceless skill and I mention this because I noticed Wukong rather conveniently left out that he is a delinquent. A thief.
In the video log he shared with you all I would like to share his response when I asked asked what he had accomplished here in Genessia: 'I've pissed off a group of vendors, got a negative article in the paper about me, improved on my combat prowess.' After a bit of searching I had concluded this is the snippet he referred to:
[She pauses as she silently reads it over, then shakes her head as she attaches another link.]
Attachment: Paper Clipping
He said 'I'm pretty happy with what I have done'. He expects me to respect.. That. I will not. That is one thing I will never change about myself.
At the party he spoke of I was confronted by him and I used my words to cut him down. My intent was to humble him- to the point he would cast doubt upon his choices and rethink his position. I recall my patience was thin and perhaps I did go too far since he took that as an attack against the faunus. And that I apologize. I honestly have no issue with the faunus.
The election results.
It turns out Wily's tampering is real, and here is a question to consider: What would you do if you suspected someone cheated the system and you had evidence? Most of you would obtain it and bring it forward as soon as possible, correct? That is not what happened here.
So why is it now that Wukong has revealed that evidence? If he had acted sooner, surely he could have had Dr Wily, the person he despises so much, that hurt his friends, removed from office and be punished for his crimes. He could have prevented a lot of damage.
But he did not. So then what might be the true motive?
Well if one wished to aid Lady Schnee, and watch me crash and burn in a most spectacular manner the process by opening 'pandora's box', it could be argued the present would absolutely be the best time to do so. Unfortunatly several things were overlooked in his plan: The obviousness of his political intent, the hiding of his 'occupation', and more importantly the questionable legality of his actions.
I stand by that my intentions back then were in hopes of a positive result; his seeked pure destruction. On the other hand, perhaps none of this would have happened were I not so arrogant in the first place and I do apologize. I have since learned that I need to change my methods for manner more suitable for Genessia, and I ask for your patience.
[She pauses a moment as if letting that sink in.]
With that aside, I would like to address my other previous actions. I possessed a bias against Wukong and toward Dr Wily, but to understand my viewpoint, and to touch upon each point against me in an understandable manner, I must provide some history:
I believe in redemption- Dr Wily is not the first person to have made terribly poor decisions nor will he be the last. One might say Genessia is a 'second chance' for people like him.
When I met him it was obvious he carried personal demons. He was laughably arrogant, he made no secret of his disdain toward teenagers was beyond apparent. When I withdrew the idea of mandatory attendance, he was furious and threatened to take action on his own, but I persuaded him to see the others point of view. Once he backed down, I saw a ray of hope.I also saw a mind, dense with experience and brilliance. A person who had a firm grasp of a stable society's fundamentals, and someone that I could connect with if given the chance. And most importantly, if pointed in the right direction he could one day become a leader everyone could look up to.
[Satsuki closes her eyes a moment and lowers her head.]
Now I am troubled.. I wonder if he would have ever confessed to me that the election was rigged.
A similar tale goes for Princess Azula, the one who burned the hotel. She possessed a twitchy temper and believed that, as heiress to a powerful kingdom, that everything belonged to her. What I saw was another brilliant mind. She possessed intense passion, royal experience and strategic genius that, with a bit of tempering, would result in an outstanding leader. It was painful for me to see her make an entrance so similar to my own.
Then comes the Academy. In May of last year I declared the construction of Wily Academy, later renamed Honnouiji Second, with the intent to make attendance mandatory and the backlash was far greater than I had expected at that time. Understand that this was fueled by the culture I hail from, where my world possesses similar policies. I had believed that no price was too small to bring everyone together, learn from one another, build a proficient committee that understands the importance of getting serious and working to find the solution to escape this prison. I have since understood such tactics are unfit for Genessia.
Wukong believes that I will not change and that is understandable, considering our history. Even ignoring that I still lack a 'cheerful' expression and a friendly air.
I think that I have been improving- In the past I thought I would be remembered as 'The hero we did not know we needed' but the reality is it would have been 'That arrogant fool who tried to conquer Genessia'. Since the school incident I have personally spoken with people who challenged my declaration. I still keep company with my associates from home, but also with the likes of Koishi Komeiji and Bridget Frostheart, one who possesses colorful disposition, the other possessing reflective wisdom that assist in making social decisions more acceptable of this culture. There are many others, but I am afraid I have spoken enough as is. Just know I appreciate you.
I hope that those who still doubt my intent can look at history and see that I want to be a positive example. I want to prove that I am someone worth believing in, while doing something that I was born for. I also hope that those who were persuaded to vote instead for Lady Schnee because of this incident might reconsider.
Thank you for your time.
(OOC: tl;dr Satsuki pointed out that Sun did not mention that he is a thief and ultimately that was what Satsuki took issue with. She suggested that her harsh words were meant to inspire him to clean up his act then apologized that he took it as an attack against faunus. She then used his timing to paint him as a politically-charged, vindictive criminal.
Satsuki then explained that her connecting with the likes of Wily and Azula was with the intent of steering their talents and influence toward something greater.
She then explains that the Wily Academy fiasco was occurred because that was the way it worked from her home. She aknowledged that it was a poor decision and has since made an effort to fit in by working with others with differing viewpoints as well as her trusted associates from home.)
