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.

You are lucky to have been revived, from what I have heard. I cannot say I would have been so merciful.

[arealeyeopener]

Congratulations on understanding that you shouldn't stab children.

And start with yelling, then escalate to punching if needed.

[windsofwar]

I didn't die, a deimos simply ate my arm, and sorcery was used to turn me into a duck.

[windsofwar]

That sounds a bit brutish, but it is what it is. Most civilizations talk things out anyway.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Is that what it took?

[I can't even...]

[arealeyeopener]

Yeah just try using your words. Silence thinks you're smart, don't let her down.

[windsofwar]

What? I'm not wrong, am I?

[worthathousand]

....A great deal more mercy than I would have given, then.

Why, in the name of every god, did you try to kill Talon?
After our past conversation, I thought that perhaps I was getting through to you that this is no war like you have known.

You know talking about who's appropriate to stab isn't going to go over well either, right?

[windsofwar]

[clenches fists!!!]

I--I don't intend to let any of you down. Though I'm not sure what to think of the implication that you all assumed I wasn't smart before.

[rollplayinghouse]

[that gets a very cold look from Maki]

[appears in a smoke cloud! Poof!]

Don't stab anyone! It's bad luck!

[windsofwar]

No place is like my war back home, I'm finding.

He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, a convenient target. He has plenty of skill as well! And reminds me of someone I know, in retrospect. But regardless, I'll accept that it was a poor decision.

[arealeyeopener]

You stabbed a child.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What about a deimos child? Do you stab them?

[windsofwar]

Isn't it more awkward to dance around the subject?

[hissterics]

Uh, can't you just ask your psycho unit full of murderers?

[windsofwar]

That doesn't implicate intelligence--[wait wording]

[resonantblue]

It is only appropriate in self-defense—when someone else is attacking you.







Nobody should be attacking anyone.

[windsofwar]

That's a myth.

[windsofwar]

My only unit is Future is Now. They're not murderers--aside from me, I guess.

[windsofwar]

--right, in an ideal scenario. This is just hypothetical. [sweats;;]

[arealeyeopener]

YEAH EXACTLY.

[windsofwar]

. . .




[fuck]

Only in self defense, or if they were harassing humans. Of if they're unfortunate casualties.

[rollplayinghouse]

You would think so. But most people would call it "tactful." It's generally polite to act like you won't stab anyone.
