I'm going to assume that a day is enough for us to recover well enough over everything, so there are a few things I want to address now that the app has been secured again.

First of all, since it's troublesome only speaking on the app and we never know when it might be compromised again, I made a code for us to use in reference to each other. It's not completely finished but it should give you an idea of what I'm going for. I'm open to any other suggestions on what to add to it. Different demons have been assigned different flowers. Combatants and Navigators can be distinguished by where they "grow".

[insert list here]

Secondly, we need a place to meet up in real life. A few times in the past, the first round has used my dorm, but that isn't sustainable especially since other Awakened are and can be adults. I suggest a school-funded cafe project. Those of us attending Green Valley can use various excuses as an extracuricular activity focusing on economics, cooking, or whatever else. Adults could act as supervisors. Someone is free to mention a better idea.

Finally, I think we should start investigating figures of significance in Eddan and preparing to dispose of them if they turn out to have anything to do with our current situation.

Dispose of them?

[This can't be serious.]

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

[What, what's the big deal]

[singlefaith]

As in kill?

[Needing to make properly sure of this before explosion.]

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

[singlefaith]

No.

Absolutely not.

[Plainly she didn't know Ciro as well as she'd thought she did. How could he even consider such a thing?]

[kokuyoyo]

[In Ciro's defense.... Chikusa is a very different kind of person.]

[The kind of person who's sighing because, while he's not surprised this is being brought up, he'd really rather it not have been.]

Why?

[singlefaith]

Why?

[Does she really have to explain this? Why are they even having this conversation?]

For a lot of reasons! One, you can't just kill people; it's murder. Two, you don't know that any officials have anything to do with this, so you can't point the finger unfairly. We don't know if anyone in power has anything to do with this; you can't make the assumption -- not to mention you could miss other evidence. Three, if people aren't supposed to know about us, how do you think a trail of police reacting to murders is going to help?

Four, again, you can't just kill people. Especially when it just makes it more convenient for you. How does that make you any better than them?

[Ciro has been around her mothe-- well, not her real mother, but it doesn't matter. Is he dangerous? The thought is twisting her stomach. Most people don't just consider murder as a casual option.]

[kokuyoyo]

I'm not saying it makes me better than anyone.

Ignoring the rest of what you said for now, there is such a thing as justified homicide. If someone is torturing or plans to kill you, you're allowed to retaliate for your own life.

Chikusa.

[Do we need to have a Talk?]

[A talk about subtlety?]

[kokuyoyo]

[Oh fuck it's big brother]

[time to bail]

I wasn't doing anything.

[transient_specter]

Most people get upset when you talk about murder.

[It's not like he does, not really, but uh.]

[kokuyoyo]

It would be for everyone's own good in the event that it happened.

[He doesn't know why that's not enough!! Gosh. People and their morals.]

[transient_specter]

It's not something most people can handle hearing about.

[kokuyoyo]

Most people can't handle being trapped in a mutated school being attacked by thousands of rats until a monster with a multitude of eyes appeared.

When you discover a disease, do you pat the virus on the head and say stop it or do you cut it out completely?

[singlefaith]

Diseases aren't people! It's not even comparable.

[This is a name she recognizes, and this makes her stomach jerk again. From their limited interaction, Ankh has been kind to her -- yet he's considering murder too as though it's an actual, viable option.]

[connivingbird]

If they are infected to the point of those rats and that many-eyed Yummy thing, do you think that they are human still?

[singlefaith]

That's making another assumption that they might be without any evidence.

And even if it were true, if there's any possibility that they can be saved, you take it.

[connivingbird]

Do you really think that I have not encounter people like that before?

Some people do not wish to be saved; and please don't insult my intelligence by suggesting otherwise. I have seen more then enough humans who willing let their greed for their addictions turn them into creatures that feed off of others before.

[singlefaith]

People aren't all the same as one another. Just because you've met people who were one way doesn't mean these people are the same.

I don't care if the person wants to be saved or not; I'll help them anyway. People can change their minds, and they have the right to be given the chance to do so. And again, this isn't necessarily what's really happening anyway; you can't make a judgment on someone without knowing what the truth is.

You'd want to have the same done for you, wouldn't you?

[truthkills]

sometimes you've got to extract the virus to another plane and beat it until it explodes

trust me, I'm a doctor

[connivingbird]

And now you sell used phones to some poor Unawakened children. How times have changed.

[truthkills]

hey, someone's gotta sell phones, might as well be someone who knows what's up

but seriously I can probably at least take a look at anyone with any medical problems, even if I have pretty much no equipment right now

trying to put out feelers to get an x-ray machine

[connivingbird]

I can't help you there, even though I suppose to have some kind of money. There are these humans called managers that try to limit things I do for the betterment of my career.

I would point you to others before myself. As much as I dislike the limits, I do not have any issues even in this human form.

[truthkills]

my fake life here probably would have offered to take over for manager for you, but I will admit I don't know much about that except you should probably lie, lie, lie to them

make up stories that sound nice and humanitarian and you can spin anything to their liking
