capeandcowl | STAGE Shadow - [video] Backdated to the 6th because I am the latest

[The comm feed is unsteady, giving brief glimpses of the person holding it- Shinji, or at least something that looks like him, with yellow eyes - and the building he's standing in front of, some kind of massive metal pyramid.]

I'm not going to waste my breath on you people and give a long speech explaining what I want. You don't deserve that. [He spits every word, teeth grinding together in between them.] You're failures, all of you. You can't even save a bunch of kids, and even if you could get your act together and try, you don't get that it doesn't matter. Not a damn bit of it does.

The only thing that matters is how much you can get out of everyone before you have to hurt them. Push them away, kill them, whatever. Life is all about hurting. It's the only constant. Hurt and get hurt until you can't any more.

[He starts walking towards the pyramid, thumb sliding over the screen. A thumb covered in blood.]

So come on,. heroes. or whoever the Hell. I'll show you how little you mean before I crush the life out of you. Or before you do the same to me.

It's all any of us are good for.

[ after having already spoken with karkat tonight, his words are a little more barbed, and she can't well leave that sting unchallenged. ]

Shinji, you're talking like an idiot.

Like you have any room to talk. But that hasn't stopped you before, huh?

I do what I must. If only to spare others.

My failure doesn't mean they should be implicated in it as well.

And why not? All this power in one place and they couldn't do that much? They're all as worthless as you.

That much what? At this point I doubt we're talking about the same thing, but I don't really know what you're talking about anymore!

All you're doing is raging, raging for nothing! And just what does that accomplish, Shinji?

Accomplish? Who said I'm trying to accomplish anything?

[He sneers.]

Sometimes pain just exists for pain's sake, Kanaya.

Well, if you want that power put toward something, you obviously have something in mind that should be accomplished. Otherwise you're just whining.

And you'd know a lot about that, wouldn't you?

And just what are you implying with that?

That you're just like me! I used to think you were better, that you were someone to look up to, but no. You're worthless too.

I never pretended to be worth anything. It isn't my fault you assumed I was.

It's not, but it doesn't make me want to hurt sinethung aby kess,

Fine. You want to hurt something so much, then you can start with me.

Good. I was tired of hearing you talk anyway.

[He sends a text file containing an address.]

We'll be waiting.

I'll make sure you're not kept long, then.

[ shall i take it to the log then? ]

[He answers with a distorted laugh.]

[also yes]
