ღ you know i'll take you to another world

[anythingforyou]

[...Well, if nothing else, this trip to Giratina's World has been enlightening if nothing else. Even if everybody just kind of found out nothing that they really wanted to find out, nobody had to die tonight, and frankly, that was enough.

This has to be one of the oddest places to do their usual 'after near death experience' parties, to say the least, but food is generally one of the better cures for such a thing and will be seen to, one way or another. Even in this weird, weird world.

Rest easy, everyone. Even in...quite possibly the most uneasy place known to man.]

Boy, you have some really low rates.

[Is that inappropriate to joke about? OH WELL]

No, that makes sense. Lucas was the first human child I've ever really interacted with, so I don't have much context for it one way or another. I think I'd call it experience, more than bias.

[Michael goes quiet for a moment, chewing over his response.]

I do think this group would have still cared, if we met Dawn when she was alive. But I don't really think you're wrong. I know you aren't, we generally keep pretty up-to-date on shitty things humans do to each other...she would have been right in front of us, though. Maybe fighting a god or something. That's hard to ignore. Not like the knowledge that children somewhere else probably have it rough.

[So, if you carry that out...] Is it wrong of them here, to send children out on their own at that age?

[bloodspent]

[...Mm.]

Most people would probably say it is, yeah. I don't know if it is or not, though, because apparently that's just how they do things?

[He shrugs.]

I get that it's one of those things that we're not gonna agree on. It's just kind of weird listening to everyone trying to have some sort of moral advantage about it.

[eudaimonikos]

Just because it's how things are done doesn't mean it should stay that way forever. I think people put too much value on tradition.

[But he doesn't have many strong feelings on this particular one himself, so.]

Well, it might not happen much more. We've met Giratina now, and seen Cynthia again...there's no point in yelling at Cyrus about it more. There's so many other things to yell about there.

[bloodspent]

Assuming he doesn't do that fucking...thing again, yeah. He's got a goddamn talent for making sure that we only yell at him about what he wants us to yell about.

[eudaimonikos]

He does, doesn't he? And the thing about Dawn clearly bothered him, too...

[Does that mean it's something they should hit? His instincts are telling him yes, but his instincts are all geared towards hurting people.]

No. We should yell at him about his tragic backstory, that seems to be effective around here.

[bloodspent]

My thoughts exactly. He hates having that shit brought up, from the look of it, and there's more than enough to pick at.

[eudaimonikos]

Shame we couldn't have found Volkner. You think they're related, or he just gave him a few swirlies as a kid?

[Shrug]

Doesn't matter with their memories wiped anyway. But I'd have liked to have a little more potential ammo.
