[nospaces] [attr="class","post2 comms"] DARIUS INFIYAWEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:24PM[attr="class","replyto"]But I am curious, since the person who told me they don't give a shit about the Vale hahaha i never said that did i...JULIUS IS TYPING[attr="class","post2"]
damn, he hasn't deleted this many attempted texts since...never, to be fair. even the ladies don't get this kind of forethought. but still, julius has a hunch about the vale. and he can't afford to be honest, here, can he?
[break][break]
not if he wants to be in on the game.
[break][break]
he has to lie, keep up the ruse. julius kingston has to..
[attr="class","post2 comms"] DARIUS INFIYAWEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:24PM in my defense, martyrs are made-up after the fact but i guess you already know exactly what happened there i'm sure i didn't end up back here without sybaris pulling strings. was it you? was it sun haneul??JULIUS IS TYPING...[attr="class","post2"]
...but the truth spills out. julius kingston is dead, after all.
[break][break]
he keeps typing. he feels like an idiot, but he hasn't slept in days, and he's already lost everything. what more can he lose? he wants to know.
[break][break]
he needs to know.
[attr="class","post2 comms"] DARIUS INFIYAWEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:29PM i get it u got trucks full of weapons. ur blowing up infrastructure there's a public expansion plan, and a private destabilization planJULIUS IS TYPING...[attr="class","post2"]
he's delirious.[break][break]
he's lost it entirely. [break][break]
his head feels so wonderfully clear.
[attr="class","post2 comms"] DARIUS INFIYAWEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:29PM serafim strix was in the vale blowing up the dam on sybaris' dime, wasn't he?you HAVE to be subsidizing this shit. no way the vale is profittable enough to be pulling this many CLs out of the woods and i helped you on accident, maybe but i helped you. accelerated ur plans by a year at least. and you helped me in return martyrdom was just a nice bonus |

[nospaces] [attr="class","post2 comms"] JULIUS (VALE)WEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:45PMZo and Baz were both on the money huh You really are a clever cookieWell, there's a lot of things I can't sayBut I do think it's a damn shame you lost your family and your home, JuliusI'm sorry about that, trulyDARIUS IS TYPING...[attr="class","post2"]
he waits it out for a response, before saying:
[attr="class","post2 comms"] JULIUS (VALE)WEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:45PMBut you did help me"On accident"And you're alive, so let's consider that debt paid. Doesn't matter who it was. It's a favour no one's gonna hold over your head.I don't believe in luck or chance. At least, I don't reward someone for being luckyI'm gonna be straight with youDARIUS IS TYPING...[attr="class","post2"]
julius kingston, more than most, seems to understand the complex game they are playing in the vale—creating unrest, creating opportunities. securing allegiances and making bets, at a high level, about who's going to end up on top. [break][break]
but he is also a liability.[break][break]
darius doesn't consider the rebellion to be much of a serious force—but julius can't have an agenda outside of sybaris's, for him to be any use.
[attr="class","post2 comms"] JULIUS (VALE)WEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:49PMIf you want to visit the Vale again and have a final goodbye, there might be an opportunity in the future to do what you did on accident, on purpose If you're interested, I'll keep this number around |

fuck darius infiya. fuck spec ops. fuck everything about this stupid resurrection he had never asked for. [break][break]
there is a saying, in the vale. everyone's a king in the peninsula. you just gotta cut your crown's worth from the cloth. you just gotta sell the land itself. [break][break]
(but he's angry for no reason, he knows. did he ever really believe it? in the rebellion, in danya reed? [break][break]
he still remembers how it felt, when the invisible airship fell from the sky, when he heard the thundering of the cavalry's hooves. there was no hope, and he had always been okay with that. something about a boulder, something about a hill. something about the madness itself being a kind of pleasure.)[break][break]
but this is. an outsider. playing games, using him. [break][break]
there is a violent kind of hatred, enough to wake her hermione through the veils of the curse, enough to make her open one eye and ask, both bleary and caustic: [break][break]
what is it, julius? what do you want?
[attr="class","post2 comms"] DARIUS INFIYAWEDNESDAY, 1 DEC - 3:24PM[attr="class","replyto"]I'm sorry about that, truly thank you and it's fine loli'll be real with you tooi really don't carei'm not going there to say goodbyei'm not visiting homei'm not an idioti'll go and do whatever you want me to, but i want to know the truth. about the omerta. there's something i'm missing, and i'm going to find out, and if i help you, i'll do everything your way but i want to knowthat's it. my terms and conditions[attr="class","post2"]
the funny thing about the saying, everyone's a king, is that the word for merchant comes from king. same roots, really. to own is to sell. to set the price of something is to rule it.[break][break]
so the phrase, in the vale: "to rule your soul" —to the be true to yourself— means the same, in the end, as selling it. |
