Er... you are not really sure where all that came from. Strange images fade from your mind, leaving you with a vision of a sea... a Sea of rust dunes, ash and desolation. Is that the Lightning Sea? What it was, or will become? And you think you saw some sort of tilted spire or tower?
Knife Mother Praxagora's eyes narrow a little. You think she wants to ask you something in private, but cannot do so in front of her delicate and beautiful, er... "handmaidens", the Knife Sister gang. She is pondering how to do this, but suddenly Princess Hercules blurts out:
- He is... MAN-SPLAINING! I hate Men! This is what they do all the time! Explain things to women! We don't need your explanations, stupid Man-words! And...
Princess Hercules is suddenly caught mid-sentence, stricken with utter horror. You notice that her gaze has fallen upon the folding machine pistol case handcuffed to one of your arms
>>5391977>>5392697the case full of scantily clad, disturbing anime girl stickers that you neglected to remove.
You can see Princess Hercules turning a little purple. The mechanical gauntlet fists of her tactical combat exoskeleton flex and curl in boiling rage, as she erupts:
- This ... MAN... is a disgusting, demeaning, unspeakable... DEVIANT! Look at ... look at those objectifying images of... I cannot even...?! And he has even handcuffed them to his fleshy Man-hand, so that he can have them ready at any time to... urgh! I HATE MEN! We must kill them! Right now!
(The Knife Sister gangers grin murderously and chatter with eager anticipation, brandishing weapons)
>If you can somehow satisfactorily explain why you are in possession of these unsettling anime images, handcuffed to your wrist, the human hand with feeling and tactile nervous function, you will achieve the greatest oratorical feat since the ancient rhetoricians invented the Synthemata. (Write-in your genius excuse)>(Taunt Princess Hercules even more) well, you know, with what you are wearing... (stare meaningfully at her chest)>>5393412>(Try to persuade Lady Praxagora. Will it work? Is she who she claims to be?) My Lady, it is time for you to come home. Come back to the Palace, the Verdant Sanctum. Leave the slums behind, they are not for the Highborn. I will take you home.>(Side with Haukwode, turn to him and shout:) Give the order, now! Kill them all! (Attack Knife Sister Gang, Princess Hercules, and Praxagora)>(Side with Knife Sisters) It was... the corporations! The Isonomy, Paribus Foundation, they did this! They brainwashed me... I really respect women! And... whatever your Knife Sisters are. Please - I need help... (jangle the disturbing anime case handcuffed to your wrist pathetically)>Well, the time has come to kill everyone. (Write-in a weapon and a target.)>Something else...? This is too embarrassing
