ONE ❢ VIDEO

[firstreturned]

[The woman who appears on-screen does not look particularly angry, or even that getting angry is something she makes a habit of beyond possibly rolling her eyes when a barista writes her name wrong on a Starbucks cup. She's standing against a nondescript stone wall much like Hope was in his first broadcast.

After a moment, a mildly curious expression resolves itself into a perfectly pleasant smile that appears to be entirely sincere in nature.]

While I can't say I enjoyed having to be brought back at all, that was a wonderful welcome you creatures gave me and I wanted to thank you for it. It's like you couldn't even control how much rage you were expelling.

I see many of you have had a look at my armory, I hope you enjoy it. Keep up the good work and I'll keep you as well stocked as you keep me.

[Yeah, it's an awfully big coincidence, having someone called Rage turn up at the same time feelings of the same seemed to be spiraling out of control for everyone.]

It's almost like there was some kind of outside influence on how little control we all had over the rage we were, as you say, expelling.

[firstreturned]

Well if you don't want to feel something, just stop. It isn't that hard is it?

[recinerate]

[Oh boy, Beyond has to laugh at that; it's a harsh, grating sound, bitter and mirthless.]

This must be your first time dealing with humans as well, I take it.

You've got some really nice knives. I think I'm going to like you.

[firstreturned]

[Oh, Cash, the perfectly pleasant smile becomes positively brilliant for you.]

Why thank you, they are nice aren't they? Glad they've gone to a good home.

Re: Video

[ she beams back. ] It makes this place feel a little more like home.

You must be a very talented fighter to have an armory like that.

[ The politeness, the hair -- at first, it's all too much, and Arya just stares at the camera like a deer in headlights.

Then it occurs to her that that's a little rude. Ordinarily, she wouldn't care, but she doesn't want to make anyone called Rage angry. And she knows someone who looks an awful lot like Rage who would demand some politeness. ]

It's, ah, terribly -- no, not terrible, nothing is terrible -- very, yes, that's it, it's very nice to meet you. Um. Lady Rage.

[ Arya had forgotten how terrible she was at being a proper lady. This, she thinks, is a pretty good reminder. ]

[firstreturned]

[Rage merely waits out the deer in headlights time Arya is having with a curiously raised eyebrow. The politeness serves her well and she is granted a pleased smile.]

Why thank you human. Lady Rage, I like the sound of that.

[whichend]

[ nod nod. common courtesy. she's got this. ]

Thank you for the armory, Lady Rage. The broadswords were quite nice especially, and the maces. I've never used a mace before!

[bekommen]

[Huh. Not quite what Nick expected from someone named Rage, though really what did she expect? Someone who looked more like a moody teen mallgoth, maybe.]

So you're Rage, huh. Heard you're supposed to be my new best friend or something.

Video.

[firstreturned]

Really? Now who said that? Not that they were wrong, I believe I'm very friendly.

[lingeringhope]

Finally, someone to speak to besides these human creatures and Fear. It's been excruciating.

video

[firstreturned]

Oh, I can understand if it was just you and Fear, but these little humans he brought are rather delightful.

[smited]

[ ... wait, what? this is rage? but she's so calm. ]

I take it the anger was your influence, then?

Text.

[firstreturned]

[And Fear is a dirty hippie instead of a spider monster, is Rage really so surprising, Cullen?]

It's possible it was a side effect of my return. It wasn't intentional.

[closerift]

"It's like you couldn't even control-"

[ PAH. Cecily looks Less Than Pleased, scoffing lightly at the newest addition to the god squad. ]

Sure you're Rage, and not... I don't know, Apathy?

[firstreturned]

Hmmmmmmmm I'm not familiar with anyone by that name, are they new?

Voice

[amos_moses]

Ah. So you're the lady we have to thank for the extra knives.

[Amos honestly isn't certain that's a thing to be thankful for, because it means that many more people have the means of hurting him if it comes down to it. But, well, he does appreciate having a few more of his own.]

Voice

[firstreturned]

Yes, are you enjoying them?

[themightykamina]

What, brought back? Lady, I don't know who you are, but I don't think anyone sane should be thanking anyone for being brought to this pit. I mean, look at it.

[firstreturned]

I'm Rage, one of the Gods of this place. You're right though, It's nowhere near as nice as it was before Hope made it suitable for you strange delicate little creatures.

[video]

[vendetta]

[ First a text-only conversation with Fear, and now this strange beauty shows up. Miller's first instinct would have been to flirt with her during a different time in his life, but now his intentions are much more straight-forward.

For one thing, he wants to get a feel for each of the gods that claim to power this city. For another... ]

Yeah, I took a look at the armory. [ His brow is knit above his sunglasses. ] I found it pretty lacking myself.

[ How easily does she anger? She seems calm enough so far, but for some, it's more of a hair-trigger response. ]

[video]

[firstreturned]

What did you find it lacking?

[Well, she could be quick to anger, but if she is he hasn't found the trigger yet. She seems genuinely inquisitive in her response.]

[notjustinthemirror]

Do you take requests for what to keep in there?

We could use some rocket launchers, for instance.

[firstreturned]

I could be inclined to grant requests for those who make it worth my while.

Though I don't know why you'd need a rocket launcher, you're so artistic with the blunt force trauma.
