Memorandum 1
Jul. 28th, 2012 03:51 am[The view is distorted, as if a deliberate screen were in play here somehow, and the crystal is held aloft. While it's obvious the crystal is being held in something due to how closed off the view is, it's not clear to the viewer what it is, a microphone of a sort. It is turned briefly to spare a passing glance at a decent crowd in some facility with dim lighting.]
Now, let me present your Savior! AMON!
[A hand clasps around the crystal and adjusts it's grip before holding it so it's now viewing the masked face of a man.]
My Brothers and Sisters, thank you for coming. For those of you that know me, you know I strive for a true Equality that will unite us now and forever.
[He gives a pause as a small round of cheering starts and he raises his hand to end it prematurely.]
For those of you that have come, be it out of curiosity, spite, or even boredom, listen to my words. Listen to my vision of a Dagaria, no; a world united with Equality. My quest began long ago. My family lived in Suo-Oshima on a small farm when I was a boy. We weren't rich, and none of us had the training or talent to use magic. This made it very easy for a wizard to extort my father. One day, he confronted this man, but he took my family from me. Then, he took my face.
[He pauses to let that sink for a beat.]
I've been forced to hide behind a mask ever since.
[He moves to one side of the stage he's on, and raises a hand and finger to make a point.]
The Avatar has arrived. She's brought promises of Balance and Harmony for you.
[He crosses to the other side of the stage, and like with the rest of this speech, the crystal has not wavered from the view of his mask.]
What she fails to realize, is this is not Equality. Only I can bring that us to that route, because I see with eyes unclouded by magic. I am no wizard. I can not offer you spells, potions, or any quick route to glory. Ours is a hard fight. Ours is a true fight. Magic will never bring Equality to us; it's a form of oppression. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so you see the Avatar is a lost cause before it even reincarnates, for even from it's own birth, it is swaddled and sheltered, and kept from the true nature of the world. How can we, "normal" people, cope in this environment of favoritism? Left and right we are opposed by those in power, and who are those in power? Magic-users. There is a solution.
[He crosses again, finally resting in the middle.]
For those already interested, you may talk to my Brothers and Sisters that will escort you out. For those that need further convincing and proof I can help us achieve Equality, I invite you back in the same way you have found this meeting; for then I will show you...The Revelation.
[As the crowd begins to disperse, Amon finally regard the crystal completely.]
As for you; those chosen few...I invite you to come as well, in person if you wish, so that you may know that none may escape the promise of Equality, whether you accept it, or not.
[He passes the crystal off to whoever had the microphone before, and it is summarily shut off before anything else can be seen.]
