Okay, I don't know how long Zodiac will- will keep this up for, so I'm making this as quick as I can and make sure to spread the word in case they take this down or-
[Or find other ways to keep him silent, to stop the message from getting through. He knew this would never go down well, he was dreading having to admit this and he'd honestly hoped he would have the time to talk to the people who cared about him in person- to soften the blow. But that might not work- not with how quickly the tide has turned.]
When I blew up mine and Fern's apartment in January, Zodiac asked that I work for them to pay for the damage I made. So they'd fix the place up again. I- honestly, I get working for them was a bad idea, but they wanted the remains of the peach and I wanted to find out what they were doing with it- and if I could find out how to stop them from using it. The best way of doing that was from the inside.
[He speaks from experience, unhappily, but from experience all the same. That's how he took over Corona in the end. Getting right to the heart and taking it down from the highest level- controlling the king and queen. He doesn't look proud about any of this, he hid things from people who care about him to try and stop his own mistakes making something worse happen. ]
So that's what I've been doing for the last couple of months. Paying attention to them and trying to find out what's- what's going on in there. Turns out the people in charge are demons- literally, and not the good kind. [Which, in hindsight, probably shouldn't be a shock to anyone given How Zodiac Are.] They wanted to use the peach to-to make an immortality drink. I managed to sabotage it to stop them making more peaches- because they wanted to sell them to whoever wanted them. I made sure that there's no way they'll be able to grow any more now, but I couldn't get to where they made the drink from the peaches they did get.
[Thanks, Moxxie. Varian sucks in a breath- he'd done what he could, but it wasn't enough. ]
They haven't drunk their immortality peach juice yet- they're still finishing it up from what I understand. But-but I can think we can all agree that immortal immoral demons in charge of a good portion of a city is a bad thing to have. We- we need to stop them before they do that.
[He hesitates- he'd be remiss if he didn't reveal something else he learned there. It might not matter to a lot of people here, he's seen real, justified anger towards all of Zodaic. He gets it, he's felt it too, but...]
They're not all our enemy. Zodiac. Honestly from what I've experienced most of the workers there are just average people trying to support their families without...without any real options to do that otherwise. The people are the top are the ones we gotta be worried about. That's...please, try to keep that in mind. Whatever's done.
[He takes in one last breath, readying himself for whatever comes from this. He's expecting people to be angry. He's expecting to lose friends, gain enemies. He accepts it tiredly for what it is. It won't be the first time.]
I'm sorry for hiding what I was doing. I didn't want to jeopardise the sabotage and I- I kinda hoped I could get this done without anyone getting hurt or dragged into this or- I'm just...sorry. I tried.
[And it wasn't enough. As usual.]

Good. I'm glad you're safe, at least. As much as I want to offer my personal protection, I'm afraid Zodiac has eyes on myself and my team. It'll only endanger you more.
[The blond looks down for a moment in thought.]
I believe I should ask my questions in person. Have someone you trust with you and pick a meeting spot. Try to give me the place and time offline. I'll come alone.

[They really don't like you, Jusis!]
Okay, that's...that's fair, I can do that.
no subject
[Hey, man, they gotta get in line 'cause Jusis doesn't even like himself!!!]
Excellent. [...] You did well, Varian. This was information we sorely needed, and you set them back significantly by destroying what you could. If you need a place to live, even for a short while, I can offer my residence. Or you could ask Elliot to see what he thinks.
no subject
[Not for anything in the WORLD.
People keep praising him for this and he's not sure how to deal with it. There are two dragons in him and the one that thinks he deserves all the hate in the world is usually louder than the one that desperately needs praise. ]
I...I guess. I wish I could have done more. I didn't want anyone else to risk getting hurt. But thanks, I'll remember that.
no subject
[Elliot Craig is a Threat, especially to anyone who threatens his students.]
Anymore than what you did would've posed a grave risk to you. Your life and health are priceless treasures. If not for yourself, then for the people who care greatly about you.
no subject
[He loves Elliot a lot but he knows the guy would not take a threat lightly.
Varian is about to argue that he doesn't really think his life is that priceless, but that added clause of the people who care about him makes him stop. Because as much as Varian doesn't like himself, he definitely never wants those who care about him to hurt.]
...I didn't think of it that way. I- I guess you're right. I mean. For the people who care about me...anyway.
no subject
[Good, at least he's got Varian thinking about that. Jusis can certainly understand and empathize with those feelings. He still feels that even now, like he's never going to escape his mistakes.]
Keep that in mind as you move forward. That said, I shall meet with you in person soon.
no subject
[Baby steps, this boy will learn some real self-worth one day!!]
I will, thanks. See you soon.
