Oh. So she was one of these kinds of criminals.
She should have guessed it from the start, long before she started spewing all this terrorist’s rhetoric that could have come straight from a bad rap song. The way Kotone had treasured her atrocities, the way she’d held them high above Zoe’s catastrophic failures even though dealing drugs was lower still–her views were so terrifying, and yet they were so predictable. She was no different than the angry, faceless killers who nightly roamed Snowpoint’s streets, so consumed by their selfishness that they couldn’t see how pathetic their violent lives had truly become.
Only thing was–this woman wasn’t faceless.
She was Kotone Zeapha, for Heaven’s sake. Kotone Zeapha could kill her right here and now in broad daylight because the Kantonian police force was too incompetent and all of Kanto too scared to fight back. Even if she managed to resist–Zoe Qin fighting a drug dealer on the streets! Imagine that!–this woman probably had tens of henchmen lurking in the alleyways, ready to shoot the shit out of Zoe or anyone else who posed a threat. And now that the beast had bared her teeth this way, Zoe didn’t want a bite.
She couldn’t risk that now, not when she had so much more to accomplish. Even so, she was never one to pass up a parting shot.
Slowly, she lowered her finger, but held the criminal’s gaze even as she began to edge away.
“In that case,” she said quietly, “I congratulate you on your false victories.”
that kind of criminal?
it’s dangerous to assume she && her underlings are SIMPLY THAT && nothing more (drugs are just one thing they deal in; with a horrid reputation for what they bring, many have come forth for their other services.) the common criminal doesn’t hold a candle to them, && those that try are brought down before their prime.
it’d be EASY, so very easy, to bring this woman from her high horse. drag her along the pavement, show her horrors she’d never seen (GIVE HER A CHALLENGE, && she’ll take it -- but prove your worth before she wastes her time.)
these types of people ENRAGE HER.
the world is expected of them, their teachings are top notch, high class assholes with ten thousand STICKS shoved up their ass -- && so they expect the same from everyone else. they want everyone to follow their example, their teachings, their viewings. && if you don’t, if you’re so far from that spectrum as the herald is, NOTHING YOU DO IS GOOD ENOUGH.
not that she’d want to be for a failure as her.
‘ lil princess, y’dunno SHIT. ‘
they could’ve had a life; they could’ve been normal kids.
they had the chance, && they would go for it --
only for the PIGS && RADICALS to tear it away.
... no, they didn’t just tear it away.
THEY BURNED IT; they destroyed it. killed, tortured, demolished. innocent, good people were brutally murdered in the infernos. && no one but those regarded as delinquents came to their rescue. two children without families became three.
they were nothing, && somehow... they became less than nothing after that -- only to GROW. violence was their outlet, their bread && butter (at the very least those who became their victims were those that wronged them in the past; those that wronged others in the most savage of ways.) did they see themselves as heros? no.
they’re the villains, the antagonists. but even they have morals.
‘ false victories? m’sure you know what they are pretty damn personally, don’t ya? FAILURE AFTER FAILURE, wit’eyes on ya every where. they ‘xpected th’world from ya, didn’t they? y’teachers, y’parents, y’students -- even strangers. they all watched, didn’t they? wit’pryin’ eyes, starin’ y’down, an’each an’every time, y’failed.
‘ an’now.. Y’KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE, don’t ya? t’be on rock bottom. t’be nowhere, no one.
‘ lemme tell y’somethin’ -- y’ain’t comin’ back from that.
‘ an’y’don’t like it, do ya? you’re HATED, despised. yer seen as nothin’ but a FAILURE now, not even worth bein’ called a rug for people t’step on. nah, yer more like a piece of shit. seen wit’disgust, scrunched nose, hated an’disposed of as quickly as possible. yer avoided like th’dead. th’only people that’ll like a piece a’shit like y’are freaks && dogs. ‘
