Hunter: *waits* *he can wait quite a while, if he needs to* *everyone thinks he has no patience, but he does have patience, he just doesn't always use it*
*. . .*
*okay, he's bored now* *and watching the used-to-be-someone is making him feel unpleasant*
Hunter: *okay, he really had very little patience* *this is why he employs people to be patient for him* *his finger-tapping speeds up and gets more complex* *maybe he should take patience training* *like renewing a license* *because if you had licenses for patience, his would be very out of date*
Aretha: Maybe they don't want to be protected. Maybe they'd rather protect themselves. *takes a breath, keeping her voice calm* Do you really think Blogland needs this, or is it possible that you're just trying to do something good? Really, I don't mean to offend you or hurt you, I just don't understand why you think this is a good idea, and you don't really seem to be listening to my arguments against it. I'm not dead set against being convinced that Blogland needs a leader, but I don't think I've heard any convincing arguments from you.
Bethany: Maybe you've picked something up in Liliana's castle? Darkness and death doesn't agree with me... *she frowns* But it was happening before then. It started when we had the picnic.
*after a few moments of crying and feeling helpless, she gets up, and walks to Trip's bar, to ask for help or buy flowers or something* *she can't teleport* *nothing works* *stares at the ground directly in front of her as she walks, and doesn't notice the dead body till she's almost on top of it* *she shrieks, backpedals a few steps, and trips over herself, falling to the ground* *looks at where she is, and at Hunter waiting, and realizes what happened* Oh my god... *her eyes are wide, horrified* *she curls up, hugging her knees* The whole world is like this... Oh, god... *clutches at her hair, staring blankly at the ground*
Hunter: *he mentally constructs the neat little niece, making her look sweet with blond curls in her hair and one of those old-fashioned red-chkeced dresses with white stockings* *then he gives her a personality oppositional to her appearance* *she acts like an angel when she's around them, but really, she's not* *it's all a pretend game* *he realises he's turned the neat little niece into Ez* *he wonders if Ez would enjoy playing a neat little niece* *Ez would hate being a neat little niece* *so the neat little niece isn't Ez, really* *because the neat little niece likes being a neat little niece* *neat little niece* *NLN* *night long not?* *not long night?* *not long now?* *it wasn't long now? Oh, good*
*he looks back at the used-to-be-a-someone, and then looks at his watch* *it's been barely any time at all*
*where does every other person in the world get all their patience from?*
Bethany: *she shakes her head* It's fine. We'll get rid of it regardless.
Liliana: *she appears in a flash of black beside Hunter* How very interesting. I sensed death. However it is a person I neither know nor care about, so I do not especially care. *she frowns a little at the poster* Now that will hardly do.
Aretha: Then don't you think you owe it to the people you intend to rule to let them know? I'm not against you- I just want to understand what you're doing and why. I might be against you later, if things don't turn out well, but that's sort of my point in coming here- I know that there are some people here who don't want to be ruled, and they won't care how many armies you have. I want to talk this through with you because I don't believe in fighting unless it's absolutely necessary, and I need to be able to understand and communicate with both sides before I can make any judgements on what to do or calm people down. I just want to understand. Please, if you have reasons, tell me what they are.
Oh, Blake. Don't you know that lord of the hobbits is more than just a title?
*an army of short but well equipped Hobbits begins to march over the hill, followed by another, and another, until seven have arrayed their full might on the plain of blogland*
((Yeah, Star- it's that guy that Hunter killed. So I'd be, like, just a few feet away from both of them.))
Aretha: Trip, please! Have you even tried talking about this? We don't need to resort to violence immediately. It isn't the only option. I'm trying to have a discussion here- it isn't worth losing any lives if we can help it.
Tanya, you said that, but I said that I don't think the people here want protecting from the law or an army. You didn't respond to that. I also told you that here, friends help each other, and if they're not willing to help each other I don't think you can force them. You didn't answer that, either. And you haven't mentioned any other reasons.
Hunter: *looks at Terri* *frowns* Hey. That's my dead body. *then he realises that the more people stay, the less bored he is* Oh. Hi. Sorry about that.
Oh, this is just a show of strength Aretha. I outnumber and outgun Tanya, so she'd best go, and spare thousands of lives, and leave us be. We don't need protectors. We are our protectors.
Bethany: *she smiles, wrapping a large towel around them both*
Liliana: Erasers? *she frowns, thinking for a moment* It is a human construction made from rubber, used to eradicate any markings they do not want to be seen. They are of no interest to me. *she pauses* Hello, I am Liliana.
Aretha: Regardless of whether or not you intend to fight, assembling an army is typically seen as a threat by any reasonable person, Trip. And you should know that threatening people won't always make them back down. Besides- in some way, by intimidating Tanya with an army, you're doing the same thing she's doing. Trying to force people into doing what you say, because you believe or claim or whatever that it's for the greater good. It's too easy to just use force to solve our problems. I think we have to at least try to understand each other first.
Hey, Tanya- please don't go. *follows her* You still haven't told me anything about why you're doing this.
Hunter: Daughter of the goddess of death? That's cool. *categorises a bit more*
Um. *sits down again next to Terri* *he doesn't know her name* *he can't say her name if he doesn't know her name* *calling her 'person' would be impersonal* *that's a bit of a strange cnotradiction* *this isn't helping* Can I help you in any way?
No, Aretha, I'm trying to force her to tell her army to bugger off and stop calling herself de facto leader of a place inherently lacking any form of central government.
Bethany: *an orb of light forms above Silente's head, casting a white glow over her* *a few wisps of shadow become visible before they vanish, as if they dissolve* ... You picked up darkness somewhere...
Liliana: *she tears down the poster* *pulls a piece of parchment out of one of the pouches in her dress, sticking it in its place* *she gently starts to move her finger next to the paper, the words, "Killing is allowed for as long as you have fun doing it" appearing in black ink*
*blinks, and looks at Hunter* You killed him... To prove a point. To prove a point! Everywhere, all we ever do, is belittle each other to get ahead... *buries her head in her knees, letting out a sob* It's not any better out here. Everything worthwhile is destroyed...
Aretha: Yes, exactly. But did you even try talking to her before you called in your armies? I just think it's a terrible waste to lose a life over something if it can possibly be solved without killing or violence.
Hunter: *metaphorically frowns at Liliana's notice* *he doesn't agree with it* *however, he decides not to verbally disagree* *until he thinks that maybe someone might think he'd put the notice there* *thinks that he'll just leave things as long as Lilian's here, then make a few signposts(nameposts?) showing who did what once she's gone*
Hunter: *softly, making his voice as friendly/comforting as possible* I didn't kill him to prove a point. I found someone who needed killing and decided to complete a point with his death. I wouldn't ever kill just to prove a point. *maybe that last sentence is a lie*
I don't see what the problem is. People are complaining about nothing. I outlawed murder. Anyone who doesn't agree can go get themselves killed.
That's all I've done. That's all you're complaining about. That's what people are so unhappy about.
What else have I done, Aretha? Nothing. I'm not ordering people around. I'm not harming anyone. And yet, no-one trusts the woman who would protect them, going against everyone's wishes to do so.
How do you think I'll be remembered? Will they call me "that evil selfish bitch who everyone hated because she tried to protect them?"
We didn't need you to outlaw murder! No one was being murdered! Anarchy was working perfectly fine until you showed up with your huge army- which is not as big as mine -and claimed that you'd make everything better!
Aretha: No one is irreconcilable until you give up trying. I think there is a point where force makes more sense, but it's too easy to just give up on people right away, and I don't think Tanya's done anything that merits force yet. Bear in mind that you won't budge from your perspective, either, so how can you expect her to have considered being open to how you think?
Tanya, I'm not accusing you. I'm trying to understand you, and I'm trying to let you understand me, if you want. I just don't see why this is necessary. Will you just acknowledge that, and tell me why you think it is? And- are you actually only planning to outlaw murder? Because earlier you mentioned giving people orders, too, and I don't know if you planned to outlaw anything else.
*still talking into her knees* No one needs killing... *after a few moments of silence, she turns to face Hunter again* Don't you think someone cared about him? ...Shouldn't we just be nicer to each other?
Hunter: *thinks about it for a moment, but he ca't afford to leave too long a moment, because he needs to continue the conversation* If I hadn't killed him, more people would have ended up dead, and I have a feeling more people would care about that group of people than the amount of people who cared about him, which probably isn't too many people. Maybe we should be nicer to each other. *his eyes go grey as he thinks about that*
You see Trip over there? He's threatening to start a war. People die in wars. Innocent people. He doesn't care.
I told you why I'm doing this. If you think there's some ulterior motive, you'll be disappointed. And as for this place being able to protect itself, that's debatable. How many people have been killed here in the last five years? Give me a number, Aretha.
Then it's awful that he did that, too. *curls her fingers into her blue hair again* Everywhere is so cruel- there's just no escaping it. We're all horrible...
Well actually you sealed him in a dagger that has no way of constantly suppressing him other than the sealing spell you guys placed which could very well give out any day.
*whimpers* *presses her forehead to Beth's, shaking, sharing Onwa's memories with her, sobbing still* *sags to the ground when they're done, head in her hands, elbows on her knees, sobbing*
Bethany: Oh... I... *she frowns a little* You should have told me... *wraps her arms around her* I... Don't really know what to say... But I'm not mad... I promise...
Liliana: I kill because it is fun. And I will defend my right to have fun.
Aretha: Tanya, it's only a war if someone fights back. If there is a war, it won't be only his fault. I don't agree with what he's doing, but I also don't agree with what you're doing, and we could sit here and point fingers all day. I don't know everyone who's lived and died here for the past five years- not even close- but I don't think I know anyone who actually lives here who is dead currently. People have been killed, and brought back- myself included, and I've lost plenty because of it- but that isn't my point. You haven't listened to any of my points. I'm not trying to prove you're a villain, or that you have an ulterior motive. I just came here to listen to you, and I hope to be listened to in return. I only want to discuss this with you. Please, can we do that?
*nods* *hugs her tightly, sniffling* I..I didn't..she didn't k-kill anyone I d-don't think..a-and she d-didn't..go as f-far as she w-wanted with Erebus..
But we don't need some nanny state with guns! We fight our own battles and always have. What makes you think your huge army that would make you ludicrously powerful actually help anyone? When it comes down to it they'd just get in the way with all their corpses and poor training.
Aretha: *stands between Trip and Tanya* Please, can you both just try to calm down for a moment? Nothing is being fixed this way. *looks pointedly at Trip* Maybe witty comebacks are more fun, but this isn't about fun. People's lives are at stake here. And everyone is the named main character of their own life- I think the redshirts who die on the sidelines are just myths. I think in reality, they're all epic novels that end in tragedy, and every life is unique. To lose one shouldn't be taken lightly.
Just, seriously- I don't see why we can't at least try to sit down and have an even tempered conversation about this.
(*has drink because I have a killer sore throat and was thirsty* *promptly spends the next three or so minutes choking as my throat feels like it's closing up*)
We are. Tanya can't justify why she's here. She just is and won't let people just live. She's claiming her rule is really sweet and nice, but has not told us why we need it.
Aretha: Again- I'm not accusing anyone, and pointing fingers isn't going to help either. But I was trying to talk to you, and I'd like to continue doing that, if it's alright with you.
Hunter: Number one, some people's definition of 'have a good life' is 'kill people,' so either your rules are inconsistent or your rules are inconsistent. Number two, my job is to kill people. *that's not necessarily true. But killing comes into it* Number three, I think I'll be shipped with Ez whatever I do, so that point really has no relevance whatsoever.
(thank you J And i see well Aria nice ships *smiles*
*now ships Garky because its my ship and mine only* *that last bit means no one else can have my Chloe* *unless we split which I hope never happens but could* *ce'st la vie* (I don't care if I spelt that wrong! ) *so basically my speech thingy translates to: MY CHLOE! MINE ONLY! (which is an adaptation of a famous line from a drunk soviet called Nikolai (game reference! )
(okay Star *nods* Kinda confused as to what you mean but hey.....
Okay Aria *continues shipping my ship because I can and I will and no one can stop me!!!!! *
And this is a warning! Do not ship Chloe with other people unless its meant as a joke! Then its cool Thank you And i haves skype! So if you want to add me just ask for my name (doubtable but the thought is there... )
Liliana: Killing is a necessary part of life. A service, even. In the same way one would replace broken parts in a clock, killing makes way for new people.
Liliana: I support murder. It is fun. And after all, once a person is of no further use you may as well kill them. Otherwise they would simply be a waste of space.

I..don't know why..

Maybe I should shower alone..try get rid of whatever it is?

I have various reasons.

*then he gives her a personality oppositional to her appearance*
*she acts like an angel when she's around them, but really, she's not* *it's all a pretend game*
*he realises he's turned the neat little niece into Ez*
*he wonders if Ez would enjoy playing a neat little niece*

Oh really, Tanya? *Trip is behind Tanya, atop the cleft of the hill*
That is a shame, because I'm here to restore anarchy.

Liliana: *she appears in a flash of black beside Hunter* How very interesting. I sensed death. However it is a person I neither know nor care about, so I do not especially care. *she frowns a little at the poster* Now that will hardly do.
Go restore it somewhere else,
(Trip! *tacklehugs*
I'm sorry John, what was that? I didn't hear you over your shrieking

*Appears next to Trip, still in his wheelchair*
Yeah, and what are you gonna do about it?
(*STARES*
WHERE DID TRIP'S NAME GO IN MY PREVIOUS COMMENT???)
*nods*
Okay..
Aretha: Then don't you think you owe it to the people you intend to rule to let them know? I'm not against you- I just want to understand what you're doing and why. I might be against you later, if things don't turn out well, but that's sort of my point in coming here- I know that there are some people here who don't want to be ruled, and they won't care how many armies you have.

(*Keeps laughing*
*Is running out of breath*

Bethany: *she takes Silente's hand, leading her to the bathroom*
I told you my main reason. Protecting the people who live here.
*follows her calmly, holding her hand gently*
Oh, Blake. Don't you know that lord of the hobbits is more than just a title?
*an army of short but well equipped Hobbits begins to march over the hill, followed by another, and another, until seven have arrayed their full might on the plain of blogland*

(@Kas: :))
(Okay, well, if Terri did trip over HUnter's dead body, I'll respond to that when I get confirmation).
Hunter: *nods at Liliana*
Nope. It won't do. That's why I'm doing against it. Hello, nice to meet you. What is your opinion of erasers?
(Okay Soph :)
(Ezter are just SOOOOOOOO shippable, and they don't like me shipping them but I can't help because like . . . they're so shippable. :o)
((Yeah, Star- it's that guy that Hunter killed. So I'd be, like, just a few feet away from both of them.))
Aretha: Trip, please! Have you even tried talking about this? We don't need to resort to violence immediately. It isn't the only option. I'm trying to have a discussion here- it isn't worth losing any lives if we can help it.
Tanya, you said that, but I said that I don't think the people here want protecting from the law or an army. You didn't respond to that. I also told you that here, friends help each other, and if they're not willing to help each other I don't think you can force them. You didn't answer that, either. And you haven't mentioned any other reasons.
Well, I'm not really, but I have just enough hobbit dna to justify the title.
(*Gasps for breath and lays spread eagle on the ground*)
*sighs*
Trip?
Hunter: *looks at Terri*
*frowns*
Hey. That's my dead body.
*then he realises that the more people stay, the less bored he is*
Oh. Hi. Sorry about that.
Oh, this is just a show of strength Aretha. I outnumber and outgun Tanya, so she'd best go, and spare thousands of lives, and leave us be. We don't need protectors. We are our protectors.
*Looks behind them*
*Raises an eyebrow at the seven hobbits*
*Looks back to Trip and mouths "army?"*
Bethany: *she smiles, wrapping a large towel around them both*
Liliana: Erasers? *she frowns, thinking for a moment* It is a human construction made from rubber, used to eradicate any markings they do not want to be seen. They are of no interest to me. *she pauses* Hello, I am Liliana.
*seven hobbit armies. There are seven legions of hobbits.*
*smiles, pressing gently against Beth*
Any better?
*Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
Bethany: I... Don't know. I can still feel it...
Hunter: *nods at Lilana*
Thank you.
*files information*
Can you sense death, then?
*sighs*
Whatever.
*turns her back on Trip and walks towards Hunter*
Hunter: *sees Tanya walking towards him and stands up*
Oh.
*shifts away slightly*
Sorry..
See? She's mad! There's no talking to her!
Aretha: Regardless of whether or not you intend to fight, assembling an army is typically seen as a threat by any reasonable person, Trip. And you should know that threatening people won't always make them back down. Besides- in some way, by intimidating Tanya with an army, you're doing the same thing she's doing.

Hey, Tanya- please don't go. *follows her* You still haven't told me anything about why you're doing this.
Liliana: I can. When, where and how it happens. It is one of the few perks of being the daughter of the goddess of death.
*is still curled up, and staring blankly at the ground* *silently starts to cry again, muttering softly to herself* The whole world is like this...
Bethany: No, it's fine, honestly. I'm sure I'll become accustomed to it. *she smiles*
(I like ArethaTC. :)
. . . Which makes sense, because I also like ArethaTA and they're pretty much the same, but like, I like ArethaTC. :))
*nods*
Could..Could you bathe me in light? See if that helps?
(Silly Blake
*laughs and lays beside him, arm over his face*
This is comfy
*smirks*)
Hunter: Daughter of the goddess of death?
That's cool.
*categorises a bit more*
Um.
*sits down again next to Terri*
*he doesn't know her name*
*he can't say her name if he doesn't know her name*
*calling her 'person' would be impersonal*
*that's a bit of a strange cnotradiction*
*this isn't helping*
Can I help you in any way?
(*Rolls his eyes and puts his arm over her face*
Huh, you're right it is.)
No, Aretha, I'm trying to force her to tell her army to bugger off and stop calling herself de facto leader of a place inherently lacking any form of central government.
Bethany: *an orb of light forms above Silente's head, casting a white glow over her* *a few wisps of shadow become visible before they vanish, as if they dissolve* ... You picked up darkness somewhere...
*Absentmindedly does a wheely in his wheelchair*
*shivers, smiling at the light, closing her eyes*
Mm..feels nice..
Liliana: *she tears down the poster* *pulls a piece of parchment out of one of the pouches in her dress, sticking it in its place* *she gently starts to move her finger next to the paper, the words, "Killing is allowed for as long as you have fun doing it" appearing in black ink*
Bethany: Where have you been to pick up darkness?
(*tries to talk but only mumbles*
*lightly bites his arm*
Yup. Very comfy.
*laughs*)
*hugs her gently*
I don't know. Maybe Liliana's castle..?
*sighs happily*
Mine..
*blinks, and looks at Hunter* You killed him... To prove a point. To prove a point! Everywhere, all we ever do, is belittle each other to get ahead... *buries her head in her knees, letting out a sob* It's not any better out here. Everything worthwhile is destroyed...
Aretha: Yes, exactly. But did you even try talking to her before you called in your armies? I just think it's a terrible waste to lose a life over something if it can possibly be solved without killing or violence.
Hunter: *metaphorically frowns at Liliana's notice*
*he doesn't agree with it*
*however, he decides not to verbally disagree*
*until he thinks that maybe someone might think he'd put the notice there*
*thinks that he'll just leave things as long as Lilian's here, then make a few signposts(nameposts?) showing who did what once she's gone*
(*Pulls his arm back*
Yeesh...
*Pokes her in the side*
Meanie.)
I listened to your conversation, she was irreconcilable. And then I said I was going to restore anarchy and she immediately rejected it.
So.
Yeah.
No recourse.
Hunter: *softly, making his voice as friendly/comforting as possible*
I didn't kill him to prove a point.
I found someone who needed killing and decided to complete a point with his death.
I wouldn't ever kill just to prove a point.
*maybe that last sentence is a lie*
I don't see what the problem is. People are complaining about nothing. I outlawed murder. Anyone who doesn't agree can go get themselves killed.
That's all I've done. That's all you're complaining about. That's what people are so unhappy about.

How do you think I'll be remembered? Will they call me "that evil selfish bitch who everyone hated because she tried to protect them?"
*sees Hunter* Hey.
(Ow! My ribs...
how am I the mean one?
*leans up on her side, facing him*)
(You bit me.)
We didn't need you to outlaw murder! No one was being murdered! Anarchy was working perfectly fine until you showed up with your huge army- which is not as big as mine -and claimed that you'd make everything better!
It's a cynical power grab is what it is.
Hunter: @Tanya: *still more softly than he would normally - he's still sat next to Terri* Hey.
Liliana: *she tilts her head at Tanya* Hello, vile creature.
Bethany: Yes. I'm yours. *she smiles, her hair starting to glow silver*
Aretha: No one is irreconcilable until you give up trying. I think there is a point where force makes more sense, but it's too easy to just give up on people right away, and I don't think Tanya's done anything that merits force yet. Bear in mind that you won't budge from your perspective, either, so how can you expect her to have considered being open to how you think?
Tanya, I'm not accusing you. I'm trying to understand you, and I'm trying to let you understand me, if you want. I just don't see why this is necessary. Will you just acknowledge that, and tell me why you think it is? And- are you actually only planning to outlaw murder? Because earlier you mentioned giving people orders, too, and I don't know if you planned to outlaw anything else.
*mumbles*
My Bethany..
*sounds a bit like she's reassuring herself*
*nods and buries her face in Beth's shoulder, shaking, crying*
*still talking into her knees* No one needs killing... *after a few moments of silence, she turns to face Hunter again* Don't you think someone cared about him? ...Shouldn't we just be nicer to each other?
(You put you arm near my mouth, what were you expecting?
*smirks*)
(*Waves his finger in front of her face, ready to pull back at any second*)
(*raises an eyebrow at Aria and John*
*rolls eyes*)
(*smiles*
Really?)
Hunter: *thinks about it for a moment, but he ca't afford to leave too long a moment, because he needs to continue the conversation*
If I hadn't killed him, more people would have ended up dead, and I have a feeling more people would care about that group of people than the amount of people who cared about him, which probably isn't too many people.
Maybe we should be nicer to each other.
*his eyes go grey as he thinks about that*
Bethany: *hugs her tightly* Silente... what's wrong?
Liliana: I rather think Hunter was right to kill the person.
(What, Jai? XD)
*sighs again*
You see Trip over there? He's threatening to start a war. People die in wars. Innocent people. He doesn't care.
I told you why I'm doing this. If you think there's some ulterior motive, you'll be disappointed. And as for this place being able to protect itself, that's debatable. How many people have been killed here in the last five years? Give me a number, Aretha.
(*Sticks his tongue out*
Really.)
*speaking in between sobs and gasps*
I'm...so s-sor..ree Beth!...P-prom..promise not to h-hate me..?
Then it's awful that he did that, too. *curls her fingers into her blue hair again* Everywhere is so cruel- there's just no escaping it. We're all horrible...
(*shakes head*
Nothing nothing.)
*he sighs* We killed the primordial god of darkness. You really aren't going to be able to help with more than giving more redshirts early deaths.
Bethany: I could never, ever hate you... What's wrong?
*nods at Hunter*
*winks at Liliana*
Who's he? *glances at the body*
Well actually you sealed him in a dagger that has no way of constantly suppressing him other than the sealing spell you guys placed which could very well give out any day.
Redshirts have rights too!
(Hello, Mill.)
(Cheeky...
*hugs into him*)
They do. And do you know what happens to redshirts when they fight primordial gods of darkness, owing to the fact they aren't named, main characters?
*whimpers*
*presses her forehead to Beth's, shaking, sharing Onwa's memories with her, sobbing still*
*sags to the ground when they're done, head in her hands, elbows on her knees, sobbing*
Hunter: *looks at Lilana*
Thank you.
*he doesn't haev much faith in her moral opinions, though*
@Tanya: *eyes go green*
Someone I murdered.
*grins*
(Amazing how I always get away with it, eh?
*Hugs her tightly*)
*sighs again*
I am trying to stop the killing.
Who is he?
(Hey Adam)
Bethany: Oh... I... *she frowns a little* You should have told me... *wraps her arms around her* I... Don't really know what to say... But I'm not mad... I promise...
Liliana: I kill because it is fun. And I will defend my right to have fun.
By bringing three armed divisions of troops into an otherwise peaceful place where the only threats could kill them with no issue? Good job.
(Always? Now we can't have that. )
Aretha: Tanya, it's only a war if someone fights back. If there is a war, it won't be only his fault. I don't agree with what he's doing, but I also don't agree with what you're doing, and we could sit here and point fingers all day. I don't know everyone who's lived and died here for the past five years- not even close- but I don't think I know anyone who actually lives here who is dead currently. People have been killed, and brought back- myself included, and I've lost plenty because of it- but that isn't my point. You haven't listened to any of my points. I'm not trying to prove you're a villain, or that you have an ulterior motive. I just came here to listen to you, and I hope to be listened to in return. I only want to discuss this with you. Please, can we do that?
*flinches slightly then leans into the hug*
*whispers*
I'm so...s-so sorry..
*Quietly* Tripyoubroughinanarmytoo...
I didn't see anyone else setting up defenses against Loki.
Hunter: @Tanya: . . .
Someone from my time.
Bethany: It's okay... Honestly... I'm... Glad you're back...
(*Raises an eybrow*
And what ever do you plan on doing?
*Hugs her a bit tighter*)
That, Tanya, is because nobody really cared about Loki. He was just blowing off hot air.
*nods*
*hugs her tightly, sniffling*
I..I didn't..she didn't k-kill anyone I d-don't think..a-and she d-didn't..go as f-far as she w-wanted with Erebus..
That's because it would ruin the scenery.
And anyway, we've beaten him three times, it's not like we won't again.
You know, I died. I died saving Rhydian. And Blake died. He's back. Almost everyone died fighting demons, actually. I once had a death tally.
The point is, no one dies for long. All you're doing is restricting freedoms.
Aretha: Guys, please. We aren't going to solve anything by just snapping witty comebacks and accusations at each other.
Hunter: @Aretha: What? Everything is solved by witty comebacks.
Bethany: *hugs her tightly back* Shh... I know... It's okay.
(I will be back soon.)
Well actually I wasn't really dead...
Freedoms? I am defending freedoms by protecting people, so they can live to exercise their freedoms.
(Okay Soph :)
*curls against her, shaking*
I'm s-sorry for lying..
@Hunter your time? I don't think Ez would like that, regardless.
@Liliana well, I guess you'll have to kill elsewhere.
But we don't need some nanny state with guns! We fight our own battles and always have. What makes you think your huge army that would make you ludicrously powerful actually help anyone? When it comes down to it they'd just get in the way with all their corpses and poor training.
And Ari, everything is better with witty comebacks.
(Hmm...what would you suggest?
*smirks*)
Hunter: *gives Tanya a look that suggests she said something very strange*
I'm sure.
*his eyes go blue* You're turning into a dictator. Or trying to. I dislike dictators.
Hunter: @Trip: Everything IS with witty comebacks.
(Well how would I know? You're the one that's supposed to be stopping me here.
*Grins and rests his head on her shoulder*)
See? The amoral murderer agrees with me!
*Goes through a metal list of armies he's defeated*
(*cough*Kisskisskiss*cough*)
(*Cough*NomoreBlipforyou*cough*)
Aretha: *stands between Trip and Tanya* Please, can you both just try to calm down for a moment? Nothing is being fixed this way. *looks pointedly at Trip* Maybe witty comebacks are more fun, but this isn't about fun. People's lives are at stake here. And everyone is the named main character of their own life- I think the redshirts who die on the sidelines are just myths. I think in reality, they're all epic novels that end in tragedy, and every life is unique. To lose one shouldn't be taken lightly.
Just, seriously- I don't see why we can't at least try to sit down and have an even tempered conversation about this.
(*cough*Aw*cough*)
(*has drink because I have a killer sore throat and was thirsty*
*promptly spends the next three or so minutes choking as my throat feels like it's closing up*)
Aretha, I'm not the one taking drastic actions here.
(I could always tickle you again.
*laughs and rests her head against his*)
We are. Tanya can't justify why she's here. She just is and won't let people just live. She's claiming her rule is really sweet and nice, but has not told us why we need it.
*would talk, but knows its pointless*
-Zaf
This is by no means official
This is only for the lolz
But i Sir Rhos shippington!
Ship Jaria!
(...
*disappears*)
(*sucks out the water from Jai through the way of... ahem.)
Aretha: Again- I'm not accusing anyone, and pointing fingers isn't going to help either. But I was trying to talk to you, and I'd like to continue doing that, if it's alright with you.
(Trip, john, I hope your colds get better :3
Awwww no more Blip?! *cries*)
(*hugs Zaffy and Jai*
Guys... are you okay?)
((Hi, Zaf- and, bye, Silente, I guess...))
Hunter: *lets the 'amoral murderer' comment slide*
Okay.
Here's what I think.
I'm never going to let anyone be a dictator, so you may as well stop trying.
Does that clear things up a bit for you?
(Zafira it's not pointless...come talk to me ^.^
Hey Rhos xD
Ok so I've been here 10 days and I'm already shipped with 3 people?)
You can live, Trip. You can enjoy your freedoms. What exactly don't you like about my protective, non-obtrusive presence?
(*Doesn't have a cold*)
(WHY IS EVERYONE SO FIXATED ON A GAY ROMANCE BETWEEN TRIP AND I.)
(Hello Aria
And who are the other two ships? (just curious)
*ships Jaria*
(*Glances at Rhos*
Eh, fine.)
Hunter: Sorry, Tanya, you're obtrusive.
(It was cause you were coughing so much, silly.
and because it's adorable!!!)
(@Blake: BECAUSE YOU'RE SHIPPABLE.)
Aretha: Tanya, would you please just answer some of the points I've made? Please? All I want to do is talk to you.
(Jaria
Rharia
Taria or Traria)
Hunter, get over it. Stop killing people, go get shipped with Ez, and have a good life.
(John I replied btw *pokes*)
Hunter: Number one, some people's definition of 'have a good life' is 'kill people,' so either your rules are inconsistent or your rules are inconsistent.
Number two, my job is to kill people.
*that's not necessarily true. But killing comes into it*
Number three, I think I'll be shipped with Ez whatever I do, so that point really has no relevance whatsoever.
(thank you J
And i see well Aria nice ships *smiles*
*now ships Garky because its my ship and mine only*
*that last bit means no one else can have my Chloe*
*unless we split which I hope never happens but could*
*ce'st la vie* (I don't care if I spelt that wrong! )
*so basically my speech thingy translates to:
MY CHLOE! MINE ONLY! (which is an adaptation of a famous line from a drunk soviet called Nikolai (game reference! )
(@Rhos: You can ship someone monogamously with two different people simultaneously. :P My prime example being Aladra But Tadra.)
((I think you're called a pirate if you do that, Star.))
(It is not...
*Grumbles and rests against her*)
(I'll be back soon.)
(The only ship I care about right now is Blip xD
Tadra was really depressing though. And Aldra)
(Btw good song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDhoDYBGX18
Now I'll be right back.)
(*whispers*
Totally is. *slowly falls asleep in his arms*
Right well my tablet is dying so I have to head to bed now. Goodnight everyone!)
Then avoid killing citizens of Blogland.
(*sighs* I better go. Good bye!)
(@Aria: The depressingness is what makes Aladra But Tadra Aladra But Tadra. :P
@Terri: Oh, am I? Cool. :) :))
Hunter: @Tanya: Sorry. No.
(okay Star *nods*
Kinda confused as to what you mean but hey.....
Okay Aria *continues shipping my ship because I can and I will and no one can stop me!!!!! *
And this is a warning!
Do not ship Chloe with other people unless its meant as a joke!
Then its cool
Thank you
And i haves skype!
So if you want to add me just ask for my name (doubtable but the thought is there... )
((Be back in a bit, guys.))
(Your plot seems cool, Adam. :)
@Rhos: . . .
you can ship contradictory ships.
That's what I meant. :) )
(I am back.)
Bethany: It's okay... I'm just glad it's over...
Liliana: Killing is a necessary part of life. A service, even. In the same way one would replace broken parts in a clock, killing makes way for new people.
Death makes way for new life. Murder is swapping out parts that could have served you well for many more years.
(*not here*)
Meow *hello*.
*isn't actually a cat, but feels that it makes a good enterance*
:P
Sorry for proofing.
What I don't like is that it's massively obtrusive! You're enforcing laws! Compared to anarchy, that's a police state!
Also, you have a sizable army to back you up.
What do you think about thirteen year olds drinking?
(I dedicate this page and my undedicated previous page to Jaimie.)
I don't support murder, I support people being able to do as they will here with nobody ultimately being able to tell them what to do.
(I see Star *nods*
I'm with you now right....
Well that sounds kinda fun )
Liliana: I support murder. It is fun. And after all, once a person is of no further use you may as well kill them. Otherwise they would simply be a waste of space.
(*hugs Soph tightly, head on her shoulder, totally not getting her armour wet*
*hugs tighter then fades*)
And your redshirts will mean nothing to her. *poi ts at Lilliana*
Go on. Tell them to arrest her.
(Hear hear! Jaimie is amazing!)
(Hey, Hope.)
What I think is irrelevant. What I do is all that matters. I aim only to stop murder. That's why that is the only law I've passed.
(*hugs Jaimie tightly back*)
Arrest her for what? For standing here? For trying to intimidate me?
We don't need a law to stop murder though. It's just generally accepted as bad.
No, for murdering people. She's done it. I can provids evidence at her trial. It will be more than conclusive.
