[ Things have really changed since she got here.
She still remembers Keine's words - about trusting the gods who have done them no real ill - and feels very naïve, and wonders what the other is thinking now.
Her face is very grave as she turns on the video to address the whole city. What she's about to say might get her in trouble with their unkind patrons, but she's ceased to care. ]
... it's become clear to me -- and, I think, to many of us -- that the gods of Asgard are not our friends, and they can't be trusted. They're willing to hurt us, bully us, and even kill us just to get what they want, and they'll do it over and over. They said as much to me themselves. In fact ... I hate to say it, but I think we need to consider them our enemies, and plan accordingly.
[ She shuts her eyes for a moment, in deep and troubled thought. But she is calm, and unafraid. She opens them again, and there is steel in every aspect of her. ]
To be honest, I'm not too sure what that means. It's a big task to undertake, and possibly a dangerous one. But I think what we can do is try to be ready for anything. That means working on our powers, on self-defense, and possibly even a warning system. Maybe a designated safe-house for anyone who can't fight. I'm open to ideas.
... thank you for your time.

One last thing. I am aware that saying these things might make me a target for the gods, if they're willing to go that far to punish us. But I wouldn't wish that on anyone else. Please, even if you agree with my belief that they are our enemies - think twice before admitting as much.
( Private to: Sora, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, and Ven )
I'd like to speak to all of you. Soon, and in person. You especially, Ven, Riku. But I expect all of you to come. No buts, and no backing out of it.
[ Is she upset? ... yes. All this death has been too much. ]
Tomorrow, in front of Odin.

Yes, that would be the idea. For all I know, this will make me a target, but I had to try.

You've made everyone who's commented on this post and agreeing with you a target.

What -- what has she done? ]
[Text - Filtered]
... yes. Yes, anyone who agrees with what she's said here is risking making themselves a target as well. All she can hope is that they understand that risk. She can hardly warn them - is there a way to append extra footage onto her transmission? - but ...
She breathes. Deeply. ]
That is a risk we are all taking.
That said ... if I knew how to add something to the transmission, I would.

Too late now. The damage has been done.
Maybe you should think carefully next time about the steps you take.

Maybe *you* should stop trying to antagonize me.

You're right.
Thank you.

No problem.
And just because I'm feeling generous today [haha] I'll give you a hint for what's to come:
What can't you find in the darkness? The answer isn't light.
[Text - Filtered]
Is this just another riddle?
[Anon Text - Filtered]

I'm not so sure I'll like a surprise from you.
What you can't find in the darkness... Strength. Hope.

Fine. If there's no light, you won't be able to find your ________.
