Live!!

Who: resident dragon man and you
Where: Lobby
When: 184 morning

Good morning, everyone! I've decided now is the best time for us all to have another debate, now that our guests have been excused.

As many of you know, most of those guests were like me. Damned from other shows, instructed to take part in the show to make it more entertaining. During the week, we all saw and did many things, and hopefully, no one is holding much of a grudge.

Especially toward Future is Now, because I offered to murder, but they refused, and tried to protect as many people as possible, and we still were victorious, some how. So they should be applauded!

That aside, there was also that. . .live. As someone who has also stabbed a child, it made me think. How exactly do I want to reach my goals, and what should I sacrifice to get there? Personally, I don't think my stance has changed much, but we definitely shouldn't stab children. Only deimos! So I apologize for my brash actions from before.

So my question for the rest of you, even though violence can't be completely avoided here, when is it an appropriate first choice of action? I imagine many of you may have had to make extremely hard calls this week, so I have to wonder. Please discuss.

It was not a joke. Please take me seriously.

I am a creature born from the Abyss—the equivalent of a demon—and I am possessing Song's body, because she formed a contract with me.

time to grab his shoulder]


Did someone tell you that? What a bad joke.

[resonantblue]

Is this denial? You sound like Song after I told her the same thing.

[windsofwar]

I. . .

It's not denial. Why do you think it's true? Can't you just say you're human? Who decided you aren't?

[resonantblue]

My memories. I remembered it and felt it to be true.

Silence would show you, but these memories involve grotesque violence.

[windsofwar]

Do you also stab children?

[resonantblue]

Not presently, but probably at least once in the past.

Because people change.

[windsofwar]

. . .

Well, that's proof, right? People change. Like you.

So no matter what you say, you're human to me.

[resonantblue]

I am not human, I am "deimos!" I am saying that deimos can change!

[windsofwar]

[CRITICAL HIT]



I know. I know!

But. . .

[resonantblue]

If you know it, why is there a "but?"

[windsofwar]

But don't you want to be human?

[resonantblue]

[FREEZES]

...what?

[windsofwar]

Want to be human. . .? You do, don't you? Why would anyone not want to be?

Silence. . .

1/2

[resonantblue]

[right, like, sometimes you examine your entire existence and outlook, yet]

...

[resonantblue]

—I like myself the way I am!

Understand that, human or deimos, anyone is capable of being aggressive or kind.

[windsofwar]

[a slight flinch]


Anyone, huh? But what if they're just exceptions to the rule?

[resonantblue]

What if they are not and these "rules" are wrong?

[windsofwar]

--why would they be? Monsters are bad and people are good. It's simple, isn't it? Things should always be that simple.


Why. . .would you tell me this now? Wouldn't it be easier, just to pretend?

[resonantblue]

I am telling you this now so you can change, too.

Like I said, I have high expectations of you. You can do better than deceiving yourself and everyone around you.

[windsofwar]

--myself? How did you know?

[resonantblue]

You just asked me if it would be easier to pretend, when I cannot agree with that. That would be worse, too—misleading everyone just so you can lay claim that all deimos are evil.

[windsofwar]

I'm not trying to mislead anyone, I just. . .

[d-deflates]

Things are so different here. How do you know people won't turn on you?
