[Video] un: foxtales
[The initial video opening just displays a new sign on the wall of the common room. It looks like someone managed to find a piece of whiteboard and an erasable marker to incorporate into the sign. What does the sign say?
10 weeks without murder
Yes, you read that right. The whiteboard part is where the 10 is written with marker. It's clearly been made to be regularly updated. Kurama's voice when he speaks is...close to his usual calm tones but a little tense.]
Many of the people here will wonder why this sign is needed. The people who need it know why. I am one of the first group to fall through the Fissures, so this encompasses the entire history we know of of outsiders in this world.
I'm going to keep it updated appropriately, since...there might be more of us, apparently.
I would like to ask that no one tamper with the sign except for accurate updates. This is not a prank and it is not for pranks. It's for people that have suffered.

You call their not being trapped in whatever the fuck was happening to them an illusion?
You want an illusion, I can do that, literally or figuratively. Literally every friendship I can remember before I got here was that - an illusion borne of my powers.
Telling someone that ten weeks have gone by with no one having to kill anything worse than a giant bird or carnivorous deer, when they've been trapped in a place where it was a constant? That. Isn't. A fucking illusion.
And I'm not just talking semantically. I'm talking that what he's doing is a significant comfort to those trapped in a functional warzone. It's telling them "they're safer here". Maybe not safe. But safer.

That's not what I meant when I said the sign was an illusion, but I don't feel like arguing anymore. I promised Jetshard I wouldn't keep pressing the issue so I won't. You're free to think of me as a villain if you want. I don't particularly care.
This goes for the rest of you as well.

This won't alone get you your first rank in the Diplomacy skill, but remember, comforts are sometimes the only thing we have.
