[Much as he hates saying 'told you so'--no, that's a lie, he enjoys it very much sometimes--he just can't resist the urge. He's been watching the kedan get more and more aggressive by the day. Hell, he just lost his job, too. Good times.]

Considering everything that's happening, maybe the next time I tell you people that these kedan aren't friendlies, you'll actually listen.

[HAHA NO, NOBODY EVER LISTENS TO DEAN 8|]

Are you just bored?

[Someone's a little cranky.]

[notamachine]

Not bored so much as tired of being right. You're not sounding so hot.

[He rubs his forehead in frustration.] What did you expect? It stinks around here. Literally.

So are you looking for a fight here, or...?

[counting down until a slew of replies defending the kedan start popping up tbh]

Do you like to stir the pot, or are you actually dense enough to think this broadcast is going to go down well?

Re: video;

[notamachine]

I don't really care how it goes down. Truth's truth, whether or not people like it.

People in occupied areas can get hostile even to those there to help, pal. That's hardly unheard-of.

[... at least from where and when he's coming from...]

I'm not your pal.

[Ororo's sitting cross-legged on the chair before her console, arms crossed similarly.]

Public opinion changes faster than a politician's lies. Last week, they loved us. Today, they hate us. Twenty bucks to say it'll be back to love the first time they need us.

[That's the way it always goes.]

[Grantaire just scoffs. it's a good thing his eyeroll can't be seen through audio, or his perpetual deeply-marred frown.] No one is friendly when they've begun to starve. The first to be blamed are always foreigners, minorities, and nomads.

Re: audio;

[notamachine]

Maybe they should've thought of that before they started dragging people here.

Antagonizing people won't help anything. Do you have any actual suggestions?

Resources are scarce, and people are hungry. Of course the locals are going to be suspicious and looking to blame us. Doesn't mean we should go making it easier for them. And it doesn't mean they're evil.

[notamachine]

Don't make 'em little beacons of sweetness and light, either.

[ Oh Dean. Bless you. ]

What do you expect? There are foreigners in their land starving their families. [ Shrug. It really doesn't matter if the foreigners wanted to be here or not. Not to Iorveth, really ]

If it were my lands, I'd have bound us to bricks and sunk us into the ocean the moment we arrived.

[Pfff. Dean snorts, amused.]

Yeah, that sounds like something you'd do, alright.

[lostundercover]

Newsflash, asshole. When you tell people what they already know, they have no reason to listen.

[seriouslytwisted]

They did start out as not-friendlies. I mean, we're kidnapped and all.

Re: audio;

[notamachine]

Good luck convincing this crew of that.

[What up, freaky turtle thing.]

[polyhistor]

I'm not sure that 'rubbing it in' is actually conducive to anything.

[andaway]

Maybe next time you'll say so without insulting me.

[B|]

[notamachine]

Maybe next time I'll care enough about you to try.

[but don't hold your breath, bro.]

[gaudy]

You should consider being less of an annoyance. I have had no problems. [ Well that's not true, Fenris has had plenty of problems and a few close calls; he just expects people to treat him like that. ]

[notamachine]

[Uh huh.] Well, aren't you special. They must be friendlier to freaks that look like them.

[Sorry, Fenris! Dean isn't feeling too friendly himself, by the sound of things.]

[chiot]

Ain't no one's friendly if you're fightin' for food.

[notamachine]

Nobody'd be fighting if they hadn't brought us here in the first place, squirt. They should've thought of that.
