Less bullshit, also more bullsit. The throwing over the government wink wink nod nod is there, for sure, that helps. Not liking /him/ is a reason. He doesn't want to be in charge, she doesn't want him to be in charge, handshake meme here. Reward for 'Loyalty' said in the most sarcastic tone you can imagine. Wow, you love the Empire? That's great, bucko, get a raise or something. Give her a little boost, give some slight reason to be 'closer' in a way- or at least, yknow.. something?? Not a lot, in either group. Get promoted, get a lil bit more status. idk do more shit????

It also, in part, makes him like an idiot? Like that's not something he wants, but in part ruining his reputation is a form of self-harm he dances with. Randomly promote someone he, as far as people are aware, has never really talked to before, be vague about the reasons? Cause like sure he /has/ them but fuck if anyone besides Aja (who approves of this and maybe possible helped or at least thumbs up'd it) Hell if people assume she got it cause they are fucking thas a SLIGHT win in his books- not to drag her down with him but fucking up his own life is a passionate hobby. He only gets to sometimes. I have a hard time rping him cause he is supposed to come off as more put together, passively suicidal in the dream bubbles, less in the waking world, quiet and unconventional in places, but still... decent enough. Not a huge fuckup.

/me exists, flickering into being laying on the couch. A violetblood in grey-black camo pants that are part of some kind of universes military uniform and a tight sleeveless black top, those kinds with the high neck, yknow know the ones. currently, their hair is in a sort of butterfly loc bob, its cute! and does not match their general pissed off scowly vibe. They are also, heavily pierced, their face is covered in metal jewlery- their fins, horns, nose- they also, have metal arms and a heavy amount of scarring, a jagged mark cutting their face from their neck up over their eye, their shoulders are nothing but uneven violet marring. The hands of their proesthetics are visilby clawed.
