Is there an alternative method you think would be possible?

[ this is not condescending, but curious. ]

[sonorant]

There are less violent ways to take lives. It is no more pleasant, but it would not be as drawn out.

[ she doesn't want to consider any methods of taking someone's life, but it's their reality. ]

But it'd be moot if the ritual is specific about it. Is it?

[mygod]

The end requires blood. A lot of blood.

I'm sure there are plenty of stupid fools here who would gladly cut open a vein for everyone, but the amount would mean their demise, and that would be on all of your consciences still. A mixture of blood would ruin the guidelines needing to be followed.

[sonorant]

[ her expression dims. ]

To shed that much blood to keep more blood from shedding seems counterintuitive, but I understand it is the way here.

[ that doesn't mean she has to like it. ]

Is this to your preference, War?

[mygod]

[ they are quiet for a long moment. ]

No. It isn't.

[sonorant]

May I ask what is? Without the constraint of the rituals.

[mygod]

Anything different than what is happening currently. With the others, I chose to rebel against the ritual style the leadership had decided upon. This isn't much different than what I initially disliked.

[sonorant]

It's set up to be a horrible cycle, if it's bound to repeat. Do you feel trapped?

[mygod]

That would be an understatement. Though we have the ability to leave, we have been forbidden and restricted from doing so.

[sonorant]

What will be your punishment if you do?
