a video post by an evil woman in evil clothes, or something ((c) CAH)

(OOC: Please note this UPDATE to the extent of Faith's double's attacks on the city!)

[After the first day of lighting temples on fire, Faith's double steals Faith's phone for just long enough to record this video and have a bit of fun with anyone who comments. Okay, a lot of fun. It's just so good to destroy her goody-two-shoes counterpart's reputation.

She starts as Faith would -- cheerful and bright.]

Hiya, everyone! Faith again, just wantin' to say hello to all of you I haven't met yet either 'cos you're new or, well, we just haven't met!

[She waves, like always, like she can't help but be happy despte the odds.]

In case anyone doesn't know, back home, I'm a Phoenix! [You can almost hear the different in how she says the word, the capital P -- the real Faith wouldn't give it such importance when talking of herself.] Not an actual bird or anything -- that's silly! wish I could fly, though -- just really, really powerful.

[And now there's a subtle but palpable change to her face and eyes, like a shadow coming over her. If you've ever mer Faith, you know this isn't her, because she'd never speak of herself like this.

Right?]

Powerful and rare, like a phoenix from mythology. I am one of very few. My people call me a living legend. Some think I should be served and honored like a god.

I think so too.

So if you see those puny little temples falling to bits in all that fire, that's just me takin' care of business, cleaning things up -- nothin' to worry about! Say goodbye to your gods, Hadriel, and let me take the helm.

My name is Faith, and if you have faith in me, you'll all be fine.

[For a split second, her grin goes sinister -- and then she giggles and blows a kiss, and the feed cuts out.]

[The Maketh who responds looks oddly calm about the whole mess. Probably because the original is currently bleeding to death in the guardpost, but those are simply details in the grand scheme of things. This Maketh also emotes more and doesn't hold herself as stiffly. The more you know.]

How proactive of you.

[Oh? And who's this? A double, like her. An ally, then.

Faith gives a grin with twisted edges.]

Just doin' what should've been done ages ago. The gods are tyrants. I'll be a better leader than they could ever dream of being.

[The double nods thoughtfully. Individuals with power are always worth knowing.] Of course. And an individual like yourself has need of people to manage things. Don't you?

Yeah, that's not going to happen, Faith. We don't worship or honor the current gods, why would we even bother with you? I mean, take them out if you can, rah-rah, but don't expect me to kiss your ass after. [ The world is just so fucking... God damn, what the hell, gods? ]

Sharon, lovey, I'm just takin' a page from your book, if what I hear's right! Though you know, you're right? I don't need to be worshipped.

All I need is to know the gods are gone and I'm in charge.

Yeah, see, you won't be in charge and not a single person is really going to listen to you unless they're weak-willed. [ But, let's back up to what Faith said first. ] And if you were taking a page out of my book, Faith, you would have already taken over the city before you made your announcement.
