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?

[ You know what's terrible about being a practical disney princess going to a game that regularly forces you to murder people? It makes you think about these things. And, unfortunately, it's not something she likes and she almost ignores it. But pauses ]

There is no greater good if it means hurting anyone. At all.

Yes.

[ She pauses to purse her lips, weighing the situation heavily. She never thought hurting people was acceptable, but being in a situation where it was widely known it would be hurt or be hurt is something she struggles with. Alliances were mean to her, when it meant that someone else would definitely be hurt. They were already deciding who would fall like that. She can see why her team needed to, but she'd never agree and it's why things are difficult now. ]

I don't know. I know that's not helpful, I do. But I don't think hurting someone because they're hurting someone else is going to help. That's... only going to justify what they did to themselves. Because someone's hurting them back. You don't have to be that way.

We met this girl once and she was doing bad things. So we did the same thing back to her and it made her realize maybe her mindset wasn't so right. But you can't do that to everyone and the situation wasn't... It wasn't something where people could actually get hurt, so it's not the same. But if they can learn they're wrong maybe that's the only answer we need.
