34 [Zandali + Audio Translated]

[drinkuntilidie]

[Lately Kevas has found himself a calm spot in the keep. Maybe it's not where he wants to be, but he knows slamming his fists against the walls will do nothing but make them bleed. Instead, he's kept a large amount of his focus on his family, which is way this latest incident has pushed him to his breaking point.

Aht has just lost her leg because of this, and Kevas is livid.]

Every time something happens like this it's because we aren't told. We aren't told about the fucking dangers that sit right in front of us! We aren't told about the basic fucking facts about the place we're being kept!

[Kevas snarls and slams a nearby wall with his fist. Right now he's pacing the halls of the Great Keep because the last thing Aht needs is him raging over her.]

We weren't told about infected bitch when you knew! We weren't told about these dogs when you knew! How many times are we gonna be forced into contact with something that can kill us at a drop of the hat!? How many times does a fucking idiot have to something stupid before we're told even just a little about this god damn place!?

How many little mons have to injured or die before you care to tell us!?

[Kevas lets out one final roar of anger before pitching the journal at the wall. He's got nothing to do but hope Aht lives.]

Comments

[Audio]

[dontgiveafock]

[Joe is seething. Kevas has always been someone he's got along with, but this is too far gone.]

You were fockin' told, Kevas.

[What starts as a low growl increases in bite as Joe's words continue.]

As much as we were able to. Don't go blamin' us cause you lot can't follow a simple fockin' request.

[Audio]

[drinkuntilidie]

[When Kevas finally comes back to his journal he's still enraged. This doesn't help.]

When? In some half-assed comment when we all got her and too confused to even know what was going on?

What about the people who come after?! They people who will still come after?! Or is it just one and done with you people?

[Audio]

[dontgiveafock]

No. Repeatedly. The lot of you just don't fockin' listen.

Nieta said from the start to anyone that went near the soddin' dogs not to take the fockin' collars off. She told the girl again right before she did.

This shitstorm with the dog ain't no fault of ours.

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

Not your fault? You're keeping those monsters right next to us! Why are they even here? If they're that fucking dangerous why don't we just get rid of them!?

What about those damn hawks? Are they gonna tear our eyes out if we touch them? Oh hey, here's an idea. Why don't we go ahead and bring up those fucking stone crocolisks under the fucking keep!

[heavyweaponsbot]

Even one is too many.

[He doesn't have reason to be livid -- not like Kevas. None of his came in contact with the dog. But then again... There's the matter of the ink. The tattoos taking his boy over.]

[Good enough reason.]

They can say they warned us all they want. It changes nothing -- not if there is no reason not to. They want us all to follow blind, then blame us when we refuse.

I say, we give them warnings of our own.

[Sealed]

[drinkuntilidie]

No.

[Angry as he is he knows attacking the keep is about as helpful as smashing his head against the walls.]

From now on we get our own answers, rely on ourselves alone, and don't trust anyone in this keep.

Time to start finding the answers we need to restore our own homes. I'm done with this place.

[Sealed]

[heavyweaponsbot]

I trusted none on the ship. No reason to start trusting now.

[He grunts.]

You have a plan?

[Sealed]

[drinkuntilidie]

Not yet.

[He had more important things on his mind, like Aht.]

But I'll find one.

[Sealed]

[heavyweaponsbot]

... I will look, too.

Take care of your own.

[missmimmi]

Kevas.

[Pause.]

Yelling will do no good. Nothing will change.

[drinkuntilidie]

And what will? Continually suffering through whatever they want to put us through?

[missmimmi]

Nein. Perhaps think of a way to better protect ourselves. Or get information out of the staff willingly.

[drinkuntilidie]

I'm done with that. Just like I'm done with watching my family get hurt and waiting for Deoir to fix whatever mess this is. I'm getting them out of here and somewhere safe.

[Audio]

[vivenieta]

Filho da puta estúpido!

We should also tell everyone about your history and the things that you have done just in case you hurt someone?

You assume that there was no reason to hide the dogs. Have you not thought that they could be here to protect you? They are guard dogs, burro! There are worse things that we do not know. If one of them comes for you, and we tell everyone what the dogs are and what they are for, then you would not be safer. Only they would know to kill the dogs without taking the collars so that we could never find or stop them.

You were told not to remove the collars. I told you all many times. If you had listened instead of deciding not to trust me and covering your ears like um imbecil porra then that would have been enough.

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

I don't fucking hide what I am! If people want to know then all they have to do is ask. I abandoned my secrets a long time ago so don't you start fucking comparing me to this!

People don't listen without a fucking reason or some inkling of trust. You haven't given us either! Hell you aren't even keeping us safe! I've seen people dying since they fucking got here!

But if you want to blame us, then fine. I'll let you be the one to go to my little one's room and tell her that it's her fucking fault that dog tore off her fucking leg!

[Portugues + Translated Text]

[vivenieta]

You are like the idiot who starts to work somewhere new and thinks fire evacuation practice is a waste of time, then sues the company when you get burned.

When someone more familiar with a place gives you safety instructions, you need to trust them and listen.

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

[Sorry Neita but he hasn't got a clue what you're talking about there.]

The lot of you need to stop expecting people of this keep to do your fucking jobs for you. You don't want this to happen again? Then do more then give a half-assed warning! Either remove the dogs or make the collars impossible to take off!

Only someone terrible at their fucking job refuses responsibility and blames those around them! It's your fault the collar came off! It's your fault people got hurt! It's your fault my daughter will never walk again!

[And with that he slams the book shut.]

'We can't say. We can't say why we cannot say. Take us at our word, because that's all you'll get.'

Not enough. Not nearly enough.

[Nel wants to have that kind of trust, but that is a luxury they cannot afford.]

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

Never enough but all we ever get. By the Loa, I'm tired of my family being the ones to pay the price all the time!

[faithcrises]

When a dog gets his tail crushed under the wheel of a wagon, all he knows is that his tail is crushed. He'll never see what the wagon is carrying or where it's going.

They expect us to have the mental capacity of a dog under a wheel and rage when we prove otherwise.

[Zandali + Translated Text]

[drinkuntilidie]

I'm tired of the blame being pinned on us. If you put up a sign that tells people not to jump, then they are going to jump to see what happens. They won't know that they'll float into the sky unless they're fucking told!

If they really wanted to keep this from happening then they would have done everything they could to make sure it never happened!

[70ftandcounting]

...Kevas...

[drinkuntilidie]

[Son of a fuck. He really needs to start locking these from his childthings.]

Sunshine just...

[Calm down. Take a breath. Don't upset her more.]

Just stay in your room until this threat is gone. Alright? Do it for me.

[70ftandcounting]

[No because then she'd be wandering and end up eaten and it'd be bad.]

I -- I'll stay in my room. Don't worry.

[She's seen the posts, and -- welp. She's probably one of the few that actually obeyed.]

[drinkuntilidie]

[But it's not good for them to hear him going crazy all the time.]

Thank you Sunshine. That's a load off my mind.

[Last thing he wants to hear is her getting her arm torn off or something horrifying like that.]
