Well, this has certainly been a fun little experiment, hasn't it now?

How easy it is for a human's violent, barbaric instincts to surface even when they are given the choice of peace.

How very typical of your race.

I have to ask you all a question, though.

Those that fought, when we so clearly gave you a way out... why DID you, hm? You cannot be foolish enough to think you would win. If you made it through us, there would be Parrotmon. Then Ravemon. All of which, I believe I pointed out, but by that point you would all be criminals, anyway, and not stand a chance against him. I figure it bears repeating. Over. And over again. And any heroic nonsense about making a point or taking a stand, or any thing such as that? Is nothing more than that. Nonsense.

You live beneath someone who I can be pretty well certain, at this point, you do not trust.

You cannot surely expect to close yourself off right beneath the nose of Tetha's Military Police, not when they're starting to crack down as they are. Thinking you are safe from anyone interfering with you... you will not be safe from that, dear Tamers.

Not so long as you keep huddled up in one teeny, tiny portion of this world, thinking you can stave off all evils from your self designed fortress. That is on the grounds of a place where you have no legal recourse, no power, and no real authority to fight back.

There are Tamers in this world that actually have a fortress. And even they have seen its heart ripped out and their walls torn asunder.

You are no different.

And in fact, in an even worse position than you really realize.

Or else you wouldn't have made such a lovely, glaring target of yourselves.

There are so many other concerns in this world. There are wars brewing. Wars happening right now. Enemies gaining power.

And yet.

You expend so much energy... fighting when you do not have to fight, and when fighting is in fact nothing but a detriment to your "cause" and how you appear to the world.

You are entertaining, at least.

But for now, little more.

This situation you are in, should you even chose to return to it... you are not up against some average super villain or crackpot mad scientist with delusions of world domination. You would do well to stop treating it as such.

And if you think you know what I'm trying to do, you are already quite wrong.

Because it is, since I know you are unlikely to take my advice and more likely to try and futiley throw it back at me, very much...

A secret.

[locked to the Syndicate and DATS. Yes, both]

So with a very large portion of the Tamers in Tetha scattered to the four winds, I wonder...

I am sure you are all aware that Tetha will be a crossroads to the next age of this Digital World.

The only question is...

Which one of you has the ability to capitalize first, hmm?

... The idea that you're manipulating us just became a certainty.

Am I?

Into what?

Or am I trying to make you think that I am, just because you are all so fun to watch at work? Scurrying like bees in the hive in which you live in.

Unless, of course, you can see a tangible goal for me, here. Hmm...

Xellos, what constitutes manipulation is a vast, and varied definition.

As I'm sure you're quite aware.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] digitalhimitsu.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, indeed.

But, we've already established this much, yes?

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] lionheartfather.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose we have.

So past THOSE formalities, it still bears my question in mind, does it not?

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] lionheartfather.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 11:54 am (UTC)(link)
It does indeed. But then, Xellos, it's quite obvious something is brewing in Tetha.

And considering the timing of your so-called warning, I can't help but believe you planned this.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] digitalhimitsu.livejournal.com 2009-08-06 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Who, me? Why, I'm just a good samaritan doing what he can, that's all.

That said, I must ask some questions, on behalf of the Tetha Police... Such as the involvement of some of your own agents, and their attacks upon us during this incident. The police are QUITE... Displeased.

I won't let you tell me how to discipline my subordinates, Xellos, if that's where this is leading.

However, your point is very well taken... for different reasons.

Oh, I would never DREAM of it.

I am just giving you fair warning.

I would hate for hostilities to increase FURTHER over such an... oversight.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] lionheartfather.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I don't give in to threats, Xellos.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] digitalhimitsu.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Sigh.

You people are irritating.

Why is that a threat?

Because I am who I am? Simply that?

Again.

It is a WARNING for a reason...

Expect to hear from Parrotmon.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] lionheartfather.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's because of your past allegiances.

...

A warning. I see.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

[identity profile] digitalhimitsu.livejournal.com 2009-08-07 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, so it's a grudge. I suppose I can understand that, but you should know that Mr. Kurata means no more to me than you do, Mr. Suguru.

As it is, I find both of you EQUALLY as interesting to where this world's headed. Two sides, one coin, as they say.

Just keep it in mind.

I suspect we'll be seeing one another soon. ^_^

I base my outlook on past experiences. And I never thought he did, it merely shows what methods you choose to associate yourself with.

...

This has been illuminating, Xellos.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

Well, yes, I would like to hope it has.

Here.

This one's a freebie. On the house.

Don't say I never gave you anything.

Re: [locked to Suguru]

...

Yes, but is this a gift, or a double edged sword?

Probably both.

Thank you, Xellos.
