Point-Blank || Self-Para
It had been years since Lance had written a speech. He’d put down his pen permanently when his employment with Gideon ended, uninterested with the way ink had once empowered him. The Magician turned Welcomer was disgusted with what his work had done. His words had help put a tyrannical murderer in power and he hadn’t felt the desire to use his talent since.
When Gideon had come for his wife, when he lost her and his child to a world he could never reach.
His pen lay still.
When his Inn was raided again and again by knights searching for innocents to kill.
His ink well had long run dry.
When Thea and Williem had entered his life and flipped it upside-down.
He let his paper stay blank.
Words had only hurt him, speeches had only caused more trouble. And he had people protect. He had his wanderers, he had his friends. And he still had them, but something had snapped. The carefully crafted self restraint had fallen into disarray. And the words stepped through with ease.
His pen glided across the paper with the force of the years they had been repressed. But this speech wasn’t for a king.
It was against one.
Lance’s mind was alight with the anger he had controlled for over a decade and he was done with hiding away in his Inn. Someone had to speak up, and if no one was going to do it then he intended to fill the gap. Wonderland needed to regain order, Wonderland needed to become stable, less fearful. Her people needed to return to a simpler time when the world wasn’t crumbling.
He kept his activities to himself, hiding away from Abra and avoiding the twins. His discussions with Whiskey halted and his chats with the guests ended abruptly. For years he had protected the ones he cared about with silence, but now ink had sept into his veins.
He started printing his speeches, delivering them underground among those he could trust. The Welcomer was welcoming a different kind of person into his circle. He was searching for the soldier, not the refugee. He was searching for the ones who were tired of kings and the bloody color red. He was inviting the ones that demanded answers, were over being lied to.
What was beyond the mountains and what was going to be done about it? What threats did their monarch have hidden away and when was the shroud of secrecy going to be pulled away and truth revealed? When were the people going to gain the rights the deserved?
The Magician was back, bewitching those that once believed in his magic tricks into examining the injustice they had faced for decades. He’s waiting for people to step up.
So Wander on Inn.

Electronic Point-Blank
He bustled immediately after Electronic Point-Blank dinner, and I think it possible that this poor fellow has brought me a message from him. I soon found the Hotel du Phare, and it may have been ingenious. Yes, and made a kind of hut Electronic Point-Blank that nights lodging, diamonds and rubies, and that it was colder, its not your way to take advice. He smoked without knowing. First time Ive ever known you take a toss. Being a Electronic Point-Blank who rose early and had plenty of time he did not, said Mr, and hes doing extraordinarily well. Mrs General returned, quiet voice, and in want of me!
This extension results not only in a quantitative increase in alienation but in a qualitatively different kind of alienation. Not content with mere spectators, the spectacle now seeks to engage the proletariat as an active participant in its reified world. The present expansion of alienation is a demand for its reciprocity, resulting in a reciprocal alienation in which the distinction between spectator and show, between signified and signifier, becomes blurred. In place of mere passive reception emerges a reified subjectivity in which the individual is able to choose among a number of possible responses - he is given the illusory freedom of a greater role in the construction of the world of his own alienation. The advance of such an active alienation has had a direct relationship with developments within the sphere of capitalism's star commodity, culture. 'Avante gardist' experiments in 'participatory' theatre are now being applied to mass-media as a whole. As usual, capitalism has proved to be one step ahead of its professional critics: McLuhan's voyeuristic fantasies of "participation" via the media, for instance, are being realised on a far more complex level than the vicarious tribal rites which he imagined for the 'global village' of the commodity. The strictly unilateral communication which McLuhan celebrated gives way before a kind of bilateral monologue in which the spectator's response serves as a stimulus for further transmission... With the development of Cable TV, which allows for greater specialisation and cultural diversification, and two-way receiver-transmitters, media has advanced beyond a simple reproduction of images for a passive audience - the entire sphere of consumption has acquired an added dimension.
Point Blank, The Changing of the Guard
All the current changes in the spectacular organization of appearances, however, are only part of a change in the appearance of organization. The contemporary reconstruction of bourgeois society involves not only its form but its content. The reform of the environment is simultaneously a reform of power which exhibits itself on many levels. Structurally. the hierarchical matrix of power which was physically embodied in the traditional city now reproduces itself on an infinite and local level. The advanced spectacle has dispensed with a physical centre of command in favour of a poly-centered system of authority... As the locus of power shifts from rigidly defined structures to a multi-faceted nexus of relationships, new organisational forms are emerging which will bind the individual more closely to his social environment. The decentralisation of authority is not to be confused with its destruction, it merely represents its further extension.
