Who: Abigail & open!
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: None unless, you know. You wanna. She's on the Iskaulit I guess.
When: Right meow!

have you ever killed anyone? if you have, are you proud of that?

[It's a thoughtful kind of day.]

yes and it's complicated

[versusnurture]

that's probably the best answer there is. everything's complicated.

a little proud?

[grounds]

at the time. it needed to happen so i was happy it was them and not me

[versusnurture]

did you feel justified? since it was self-defense.

plenty

but not the last one

[grounds]

of course. i saved me, my brother, friends. i didn't do it for fun.

I'm surprised no one has asked this yet. It seems like the sort of question to have come up by now.

[versusnurture]

it's not out of the question. some people do.

you're not proud anymore?

[versusnurture]

why not?

[versusnurture]

back where i was before, people used to ask stuff like this all the time. it's a good way to learn about people.

[This answer is a long time coming. Greed doesn't ever tell a lie, but he struggles when it comes to being honest with himself.]

he was my friend

the only one I had left

[mortalcoil]

why are you asking

[though he's probably skulking around the Iskaulit somewhere too, let's be honest]

[frigidaire]

[heresyandlace]

Oh, I quite agree-- though, I was not among the majority in this opinion, back home.

Are you going to answer this one first?

[firstrebel]

That's a pretty personal question.

[versusnurture]

oh. that's really hard, i'm sorry. i didn't kill her, but i kind of got my only real friend killed once.

text; private

[versusnurture]

to you? maybe. don't i still owe you one?

[versusnurture]

why does anyone ask anything? because i want to know.

[avaricious]

kinda know how that feels. the rest of them died following me.

how'd it happen for her?

text; private

[heresyandlace]

That sounds about right. And you know that I'm good for the trade.

text/private;

[versusnurture]

me too. sometimes. not as often as before, but sometimes.

[versusnurture]

that's true. but you also didn't have to respond.

[Bait.]

[mortalcoil]

[...let him try that again.]

why are you asking HERE

text; private

[versusnurture]

well, the trick about these sorts of questions that i've noticed is that people usually only ask them if they'd answer yes themselves.

so, yes and yes. but for the second one, i'm only proud of the last person i killed.

[versusnurture]

she was mounted on a rack of antlers.
