five ☠ video | open to both sides!

[There's something distinctly different about Fear when he turns the video on this time. He seems even less human than normal, not breathing, not blinking, as if he's forgotten how to manipulate his form so that it actually appears lifelike.

He manages to move his mouth as he speaks, but the motion doesn't quite sync up with the words echoed in through the mic.]

...so I've finally failed.

[His eyes are unfocused, but he looks downward, contemplative.]

I only got half the city out. It won't be enough- we can't start over, not without Hope. So it ends here, I suppose.

[He takes in his first breath since beginning the recording, letting it out in a long sigh.]

I'm sorry.

We don't trust you. We still don't, but we've run out of options.

( Well, it's not like Hope doesn't know that she doesn't particularly trust them either. Even if she's more inclined to believe them now, that doesn't mean she's about to believe that there won't be a knife in their back in some way or another.

But, more to the point, this reluctance to disclose hits too many nerves; some of the posts caught, talking about the things hunting them down hit even more. A soft, bitter snort of laughter escapes her before she speaks. )

Don't die. It's not fun.

( There's no point talking about the fact that some of this panic could have been averted if the population had been informed beforehand, that things likely could have been different if they'd had the full story. Maybe people wouldn't have been so quick to want to kill the gods, but that's neither here nor there.

It's too late to fix those mistakes. )

I would prefer not to. I am aware that if I die, we are all lost.

[Hope is, after all, the only one of all the gods who can revive people.]
