SILVER

[following from here]

Tahu gasped in a final shock of pain as he pulled the last of Marendar's spines free of his torso, flung it away. Something was dripping on the dirt beneath him. He shuddered and readied himself, clasped a hand to his right side, cauterized it with a sickening flash of heat, then half-collapsed again, heartlight beating rapidly.

No more dripping. He raised himself at last, took a full breath for the first time in days. His mind was still hazy from long pain, but the removal of the suppressing rods made it easier, and he felt his elemental powers returning fully.

Ahead, the shattered husk of the Titan rose in sheer cliff upon sheer cliff, up into the sky. From this vantage, little could be seen of the dismantling efforts that had been started. Part of the head was in view, and one empty gulf of an eye stared straight out into the air. His teleportation had flung him many kio across the planet's surface, but finally he was almost there. And when he arrived....

It wouldn't matter. His powers were useless against the Hunter.

Everything had been.

Santa got me a kart for Christmas. I am so happy. I am going to ride my new kart.

I drove to the castle. Peach drove behind me to the castle. Peach wanted to make sure I was safe. Peach took a picture of me driving to the castle. But dropped the camera. She is very clumsy and funny! I am happy to be at the castle with Peach.

I drove my kart all day. I had a lot of fun. I got lots of practice driving my kart. I played so much and I got tired. I am going to sleep. I had lots of fun today.

if you're like even a little bit sincere in your belief in restorative justice you'll keep seeing it forever. "X did Y to Z" isn't important because Z was harmed, what's important is that X is a bad person for doing Y. we can keep bringing up that X did Y forever YEARS after the fact, no matter how the situation has been handled privately between X and Z, because what happened to Z isn't important. What's important is that X doing Y makes X a terrible person forever. You see this a lot in the lily orchard harassment campaign.

I remember a little while back playing a visual novel on stream and someone informed me later that the creator groomed someone. Horrible, obviously, but looking into it the creator already privately made amends with the person they harmed, acknowledged what they did was horrible, plus the situation was several years old. Realistically? none of my fucking business. A resolved situation that does not need to keep being relitigated again by me, who is completely uninvolved. Why was i told about it anyways? because X did Y, and that makes them a terrible person. Why would you associate with a terrible person? why aren't you condemning them?

Because simply put condemning a person forever isn't justice, a person is allowed to fuck up and move on, and continuously regurgitating receipts and being condemned by random strangers on the internet does nothing for the victim.

NAMING

The tone sounded from the Coliseum, signaling on-duty Matoran across the city to retire.

Tegte finished sweeping debris from her hextant of the cooling station floor and put up her Bolhii-stick, shook her feet dry and filed out with the others. Through the banks of steam they marched across the Ga-Ta border: Ga-Matoran north and Ta-Matoran south, step in lockstep as the suns went down.

Step in lockstep, except for Tegte. Every few beats, she'd add a step extra, just to let off the building electric feeling she felt. It buzzed in her brain and her limbs, and sometimes she just couldn't contain it. That extra step helped though. Hopefully no one noticed.

It was the end of the eighteenth cycle of an eighteenth Great Cycle, and at start of the previous shift, she'd received an additional tablet with her normal duties: a summons to be re-Named. The Naming Day was tomorrow. That was where the feeling came from...excitement.

One by one the workers filed into cool resting-cells. One by one their eyes darkened.

One by one, except for Tegte. Her eyes still shone, thinking.

Sheev's Plan:

  • get elected to senate for naboo
  • start new sith order
  • work republic and separatists against each other. recruit evil guy to lead separatists.

(this jedi kid is wicked strong!)

  • get jedi in deep with clone army. (save some clone jars for later? just in case...)
  • PIVOT: Make the jedi kid evil. dont need separatist guy anymore. got a new evil guy.
  • make my evil guy kill his jedi pals when they come to arrest me. ill finish em off with my lightning attack

(fucking guy used his sword to bounce my lightning back at me! honestly my fault. takes a minute for the lightning to wind down and he got my ass on the bounce. fair play. now i look like a leather couch but its fine. can blame jedi for THAT too)

  • Use the clones to kill the jedi, have my evil guy kill the seperatists, keep the army, spin into empire
