Sweet little whispers, sweet little
whispers as the life slips out of you. I’m
sorry you have to die, but your lack of
compassion is contagious. And it’s not a
bug I want my friends to catch.
There’s only one enemy to a Tears
Dragon, and that enemy is apathy.
Convinced the Collapse was a result of the
dilution of passion, followers in this school
push to ensure that all things have some sort
of emotional response. Rage, fear, joy,
hatred, love, it doesn’t matter as long as it
isn’t indifference. They are the closest to
Zealots among the Oroboroi.
Followers of Tears are fanatics.
Intelligent and socially adept, they wander
from place to place instigating ‘scenes’.
Within these episodes of unusual
circumstance, the Tears Dragon steps in as
mediator and guide, helping the ‘actors’
properly face or express the appropriate
emotion. Few are able to recognize that
they are being puppeteered by the nearby
follower of Tears, and those that do will no
doubt face a wretched fate.
A rarely seen but not impossible
method of this school is the Challenger. The
laws of honor and chivalry imply a subtlety
that Tears Dragons do not respect. A Tears
Challenger has to work twice as hard to get
the emotional responses she craves, as she
herself is so muted in personality. The extra
effort pays off, though, in a twisted sort of
way. They become a symbol of what apathy
can do.
Tears Dragons feel their Province is
a play, with them as the star. There are act
breaks, yes, which buys about enough time
to change costumes, then it’s back to the
show. The show is all that matters. The
performance needs to make them cheer.
There is nothing else.
