[mercurio]

i'm really gonna need to record this

[roseblooms]

...There's more but it's rather, um.

Disturbing.

[mercurio]

??

[roseblooms]

I think I killed one of those monsters with a tree.

[mercurio]

i want to say that's actually pretty cool..?

[roseblooms]

I mean...yes, in theory, but in practice I also killed something.

[mercurio]

dude i've killed like 20+ monsters in the past three weeks

[roseblooms]

And it doesn't bother you? Knowing you're responsible for the death of something that way?

[mercurio]

what else are we supposed to do with them?

[roseblooms]

I don't know.

It wasn't as though I had another option, but to do it. But it still feels strange that it was a choice I had to make, anyway.

[mercurio]

it's either them or us to be honest

[roseblooms]

"The ends justify the means", in other words...?

[mercurio]

yeah
consider how many people you saved from disposing of that monster

[roseblooms]

What if it hadn't been a monster? Would you still feel that way?

[mercurio]

thing is it wasn't anything /but/ a monster
if it were a person i wouldn't just say killing them is the way to go about it obviously

[roseblooms]

Then I suppose the next logical question is what separates a person from a monster, isn't it?

[mercurio]

[oh, he gets it]

you're not a monster
whatever you're changing into
it's still you

[roseblooms]

I remember being hunted, before. Someone thought I deserved to die for what I was.

[mercurio]

there's probably people out there who think hunting chocobos is a sport too
that someone was wrong

[roseblooms]

Still, at the risk of playing the devil's advocate, it does beg the question of where you make the distinction.

THIS IS SO HEAVY...

[mercurio]

yeah it does definitely
i'm not saying it isn't something we shouldn't define if people like you and others are going to undergo these kinda changes
but innocent until proven guilty right?
all you did was destroy a monster that was /attacking/ our city and likely the people in the vicinity
had it been an innocent then we could /really/ worry

SORRY PROMPTO LET'S DEBATE MORALITY I GUESS

[roseblooms]

That's true. Everyone is entitled to their chance...but what they do with that chance determines what consequences follow for them afterward.

These things made their choice to come here and seek to harm us. They've earned what they get...

jfc kurama im crying

[mercurio]

if you're worried because of what you saw in your memories
it doesn't change who you are /now/
them memories don't need to imply who or what you'll become
