video || UN: Ozymandias
[When the feed starts, it's clear that the man using it doesn't fully understand the technology, as he's holding it very far away from his face. It doesn't seem like it will be an issue though, seeing as he's basically yelling once he starts up talking;]
People of Riverview! Your blighted gatekeepers have informed me of the situation I have been summoned into, and I shall say this! [The feed swings around to a side view as he gesticulates,] Truly, though it is not what I am usually called upon for, rebuilding a civilization is certainly a worthy cause for I, the man upon whose works stand all the temples of the world! However!
[And now, the view zooms in rapidly, TOO close, on this weirdo's face. He's still yelling. This is just a bad audio-visual experience all around.]
What merits can you claim, that you should call yourselves worthy of the aid of I, Ozymandias, King of Kings!? [He's very emphatic about this. He's certainly proven to not be King of Volume Control.]
I am not so generous as to lend my mighty power to any motley assortment of fools! Prove yourselves worthy or incite my wrath!

... I suppose you do have a point, in a way. None of us are really required to just accept that everyone means well, especially if they're not from our own homeworld. But to me it seems like it would be too exhausting to distrust everyone from the beginning. Even if it is naive or tiresome, I'd prefer that to not trying at all.
[ Forever the optimist. But.. she was a little surprised to hear that kind of response from him. At first she was going to write it off as a weirdo being weird. ]

... I do not wish to distrust everyone. As you say, it is exhausting. However, a ruler who blindly grants favor to any that ask it will quickly become exhausted as well.
As things stand, I would prefer to conserve what fraction power I may draw from this place.
[Whatever that's supposed to mean.]

... I see what you mean. It might seem.. stingy to some, if you're selective about who you help, but you have to protect yourself from being used too. [ Wheras Marinette... is liable to burn herself out offering help to people and taking on more than she should. *cough* ]
Okay, well... then that brings me to my next question: How do you gauge who's worthy of your help?
no subject
... I would say it depends on the situation. Rather, I look for those who have conviction, a goal, a clear head... A strong will. Whether that means proving themselves in battle amidst the flames of war or with their words in a rational discussion.
[A small hint of a smile.]
So far, the one who has shown the most promise is you.

I see- [ Yeeeeah, those things definitely fit her, not to brag or anything. Though she's caught off guard by that last bit. ]
Wh..ME? I'm... flattered, ...but.. what about the other people who have responded to you? Don't they show as much? [ She was just a wee teen kidlet~! Everyone else was an adult, pretty much - surely they'd have it together more than a kid. ]
