007 // blink and you'll miss a revolution
Who: Dorian!
Broadcast: Fleet-wide!
Action: On the Three Twins
When: 5/26, night
Well, now that we've all gotten our fill of rampant debauchery, I thought I might pose a little question to you, Fleet. A more...somber question.
[Dorian looks considering for a moment, and when he speaks, he talks with his hands as much as his mouth. It seems like a subject he's certainly into, that's for sure.]
What would you do if, for example, you disagreed with the politics of your home? What measures would you go to? At what cost would you ensure that things were righted, were changed for the better?
[He raises a brow.]
Would you kill for it? Would you bring about chaos and disarray because the end would justify those means, as it were? How many deaths can be justified by a revolutionary change? 10? 100? Thousands? If it were for the greater good, how many lives could you sacrifice?
[He brings the hand back to his chin, thinking.]
Color me curious. What are your politics there?

There's no justification for death. [A pause.] But there's no prevention, either. Even the most peaceful revolutions bring unwilling sacrifice. Death does not heed intentions or methods, it only brings consequences. It is a partner to change and it will always come.
[Even softer:] No matter how much we wish to pretend otherwise.

[Spoken like a true Necromancer.]
Re: audio;
Some, perhaps. Others have a way of slipping through such mortal concepts.
[It's pauseapalooza!] Have you killed one? Is that the revolution you're musing over?
audio;
[He chuckles softly.]
The revolution is in my home country. It desperately needs to be changed.
no subject
I'm not sure that's any less of a challenging feat. Have you considered taking on a god instead? I'm certain in some worlds that's much less responsibility. For the aftermath, I mean. You can never expect how big it will be until it consumes you.
