#My issue with him is that he's making a 'noble' statement with such little conviction that you can tell he's doing it to please others

[childofaura]

LittleKuriboh’s being a virtue-signaling moron on Twitter and I’m just-

It’s the whole “Minorities should ALWAYS voice their respective races” argument and like... It’s the most shallow thing for him to say for ass-pats.

At least people are tearing his ass apart in the QRTs.

QUESTIONING {part 3 of HACKED}

Yoongi looked up from his spot on the couch.

How would you know that’s true? He asked, his voice significantly smaller than it had been moments ago.

From these. You showed him a packet of records. From what you could comprehend, Yoongi’s father had been training and using Yoongi to hack into various government systems around the world. At a young age, Yoongi had tested with a higher IQ and his father ran with it, ultimately letting Yoongi take the fall.

So I can’t hack into my own records, but you can look at other files of mine? Yoongi asked and you shook your head.

I wasn’t looking for you, I was looking through logs to see how to handle people with your personality and I stumbled on your name. Why didn’t you tell me who your father was? You tried to figure it out for the nights leading up to today, but nothing made sense. He had a different name and his father wasn’t known to have a family.

I took my mother’s name at birth. I’m a bastard to my father and I was used like a militant child. They sat me in a room and tested me for various abilities. Finally, when I hacked into that guy’s account in high school, my father realized what they could use me for. So I began working in the government, hacking into security servers and formulating data so that the government could blackmail. You watched as Yoongi angrily spouted off his frustrations. His father seemed like a horrible politician who wanted nothing more than to control him and the country. A part of you cracked. You had been subjected to similar issues, your mother using you as a permanent test subject. But I got so tired of watching the citizens of my own country get fucked over. I cracked. I finally went off and released documents.

You went after your father. You said in a dazed way. You looked at Yoongi, who had his head hung.

He’s old, he doesn’t deserve me going after him like that. Although he treated me like shit, I’m still his kid. For the first time, you saw remorse in Yoongi’s action. A sweet side to a rather bitter man. But a part of you was angered by this.

How could you say that? He’s a horrible man for doing that. God, I thought that I wanted you to show remorse, but there’s a huge part of me that wants to beat the shit out of your dad. You responded, you didn’t have any idea what had gotten into you. Tears welled up in your eyes and your vision went red. I … I … UGH. You slammed your fist down on the coffee table and Yoongi let out a bit of a chuckle.

Hold on there, little miss feisty. I did what I could, but I paid for it. The people now have access to the documents and can see how the government fucked them over. I did my deed. He shrugged and you watched him lay back like he had done for the past week and close his eyes.

Oh shut the fuck up. You spat and Yoongi opened his eyes and looked at you. You continue to behave poorly. You’re not content with your circumstances, but you’re playing the noble hero card. You scoffed and Yoongi sat up, looking you dead in the eye. Huh, well, today’s session is over. You pointed to the clock and Yoongi continued to stare you in the eye. Not making any movements to leave, Yoongi just sat there, his gaze not budging from yours. You started to stand, when Yoongi reached out and grabbed your hand. You eyed the button that sat on the table next to you, it was meant for security situations, if you pushed it, the guards would rush in. Your mind contemplated pushing it, but Yoongi saw you look and quickly dropped your hand.

I’m not a bad guy. I just wanted you to know that. This entire experience hasn’t been the worst thing to happen to me, in a way, I’m free because I’m here. I’m not under my father’s constant watch. So I’m not remorseful because in a way, this opened doors for me. He shrugged again, but you saw something else in his eyes.

Okay. Well we can pick this up on Friday. You said and Yoongi’s eyes shot up at you.

Friday? Why Friday? Why aren’t you here for the week? He erupted with a myriad of questions. His eyes darted around the room and you realized so much from that small interaction.

You need to calm down. I’m going to come back. You reassured him, but he didn’t seem completely convinced. You realized that within a week, Yoongi had formed a connection to you. He saw you as a constant in his world and someone who was willing to vouch for him. Sitting back down, you timidly took hold of Yoongi’s hand. I have some connections of my own in the government and I think I have a case to help you. You said quietly. Yoongi looked into your eyes and it felt as though a scared child was staring back. A piece of your heart broke as you looked deep into his eyes.

A case? He asked and you nodded.

Everyone is in here for a reason that they caused, but a person who is forced to do a crime is seen as innocent and the person who forced them into the crime is the guilty one. You said before letting go of his hand and standing up again. Yoongi sat there, his eyes staring at an empty part of the room, and you could tell his mind was racing. Yoongi, you have to leave my office now. You said and he stood up only giving you a small wave and exiting without a word.

You packed up your things. The next day you made your way to your friend’s office, sitting in front of him, you laid out the case.

So Min Yoongi, the convicted government hacker, is actually innocent? Y/N, I thought you usually helped people that are insane, but looks like you’re the insane one here. You rolled your eyes.

Look at his documents, his statements don’t make sense. The government changed his transcripts so it made it look like he worked alone. I swear he’s innocent, his dad is the one who put him up to this. You ran your mouth at your friend who sat back in his chair.

I’m a second year at this firm, I can’t be bringing a case against one of the top government officials, saying that his illegitimate son was used as a pawn and that he’s actually a horrible man while his son is innocent! I’ll end up jobless! You looked at him and pleaded.

But that’s exactly what happened! You yelled and your friend looked around. Giving a sigh, he held out his hand.

Give me the documents, but don’t be upset if this goes nowhere. He said in an exasperated tone and you gladly tossed the documents to him.

This was the beginning of the trial of the century.

Azeroth Defense Council Forgets to Defend Home City

By Fisherman Swaffman

Like most articles I write these days, it’s with a grave heart I write this article. Perhaps after I open everyone’s eyes to this hard truth I’ll finally hang up my pen, go back to strictly fishing. Before we begin on the serious topic, I’d just like to alert everyone that Orruk is not dead. Some Goblins off the coast of Highmountain caught a glimpse of him before he darted away to avoid losing trace of his recent hunt. Now that’s out of the way, let us begin. 

As we all know, I’ve become somewhat of a respected member of society to some, while others view me as a little annoying runt. First off, if you’re one of the latter and you’re reading this, I resent that. Second off, as a general member of society it is my duty to see to its betterment. That is why I’ve often attended such meetings as the House of Nobles, the ADC, and a completely corrupt court case.  *Editor’s Note: If you have not read about the completely corrupt court case, you should go find it. I’m sure Orruk left some copies around Stormwind. 

Recently, the ADC has fallen onto some hard times. Don’t believe me? Just read this little snip from the Royal Courier and then tell me I’m wrong.

You see, after much of the original leadership of the organization left, the new leaders of the Alliance Defense Council have decided that claiming the defense of the Alliance isn’t enough. They have to be all of Azeroth’s defense council, which is honestly a cruel joke. While that’d be fine and dandy to claim the defense of all of Azeroth, the only problem is that there’s no Horde representatives on the council. How can the council claim the title of Azeroth Defense Council if they’re only representing a small portion of its people? Even before they claimed the title of Azeroth Defense Council, when they were solely the Alliance’s defenders they still didn’t account for all races of the Alliance. Most consisted of humans, with an occasional dwarf, draenei, and elf. Now, today, their leadership is mostly human, yet they’re the defense council of our whole world. 

One of the worst parts of this council is the fact that the leaders stationed on the Council aren’t even world leaders. Never has the Council of Three Hammers attender, nor has Anduin or Tyrande. Now, with the inclusion of Azeroth as a whole, I fully expect them to invite the Banshee queen to our doorstep so she can raise our dead for her unholy army. 

I wouldn’t even be writing about this topic, considering it’s just a bunch of human nobles pretending to be in power once more, but the problem is that a “reputable” news source is promoting them. That’s where the problem here lies, the Royal Courier is feeding its incompetent readers false stories about the authority of this power grabbing council. The next think you know they’ll be reporting on how my paper has been banned and I’ve been thrown into the Stockades. I wish I could end the story there, but there’s even more to feel sorry about.

The above is part of the same “Azeroth Defense Council” article posted above, this time the ADC pledging its support to the Stormwind city guard to help clean its streets up. A noble goal, considering the shit pile that’s been building up for months. If you have no idea what shit pile I’m talking about, go read one of my older articles. I’d take a moment to inform you, but I don’t believe I can handle that kind of horror right now. One would hope that the ADC got off their asses and truly did aid the incompetent guards in cleaning the streets up, as stated above, but let me shed some light onto what’s really been going on. 

*Editors Note: If you haven’t already, also go find the old article posted about the guard’s mishaps. That may help some confused readers on what they’re about to read.

The above is a picture of the Royal Courier’s recent article on a mishap that occurred recently in the Alliance’s Crown City, Stormwind. Odd, earlier the ADC pledged the guard their support, yet now a -KNOWN CRIMINAL- entered the city with -HIS FOLLOWERS-. Huh, you’d think that a competent city guard would be able to spot a known criminal, and even if that was hard they’d be able to think something fishy was about when they notice a man being followed by a group. Not only that, but the -COMMANDER- of the guard broke protocol, which is for more than one guard to respond to an alert, and took on a -KNOWN CRIMINAL- and his -FOLLOWERS- by himself. Hmm. . Odd that a man who’s supposed to be the commander of the city guard can’t even realize that taking on a group of criminals by himself is quite possible one of the dumbest decisions he could make. Why, I might even go as far to say that the only dumber decision would be letting a known necromancer walk away alive. 

Before anyone sends in any letters asking, the above statement is not a joke fabricated by me to help prove my point, this is a real article and real statement made by the guard Commander. Just as I stated before, the Royal Courier has decided to put the idiotic Commander on a pedestal for all to glorify for an idiotic decision. I believe they meant to say “Commander Aldenhardt foolishly took on three of the group single-handily. He miraculously managed to harm two of the cultists before a third made the smart decision and attacked the commander. They all fled, clearly done with their crucifixion and torment of the poor Commander.” That would make sense. Alas, I find nothing in this doomed world makes sense anymore. 

Anyways, back onto the subject: The guard Commander has now broken protocol twice yet he is still in command. I ask that we rise up and demand that a new Commander be chosen and the old one thrown into the Stockades for collaboration with necromancers and criminals. His current solution is to ask the known criminal, Demetrius Devereaux, to just turn himself in. I’d like to note that this criminal is known for many unmentionable crimes, and has been convicted by the courts before. The man somehow broke out of the Stockades, under the command of Commander Aldenhardt, and now runs free. How can we continue with our day to day lives knowing that this criminal roams the streets while the Commander is solving the issue by asking nicely? 

Not only has Commander Aldenhardt proven time and again that he’s a complete failure, the ADC supposedly “pledged their support” and the city has only gotten worse! Is the ADC working with Devereaux? Or is the ADC actually a puppet of the Burning Legion, seeking to throw Stormwind into chaos? Perhaps it is Commander Aldenhardt who is a minion of the Old Gods and would rather watch everyone die as our world is slowly corrupted? Where is Orruk in our time of need? Will this city ever make sense? Have the guards, nobles, and ADC taken the Royal Courier hostage so they will only write about their specific plots in order to advance their own agendas? All these questions and more to be answered the moment I cease hating this world.

((All of this should be taken IC as the paper is an IC article, in absolutely no way should this be taken into OOC))
