You really are a morbid person.

Is that what you would do?

[turbulency]

[ frowns a little, looking defensive

the word RIKO pops up over the front of his uniform ]

You said it would involve bloodshed.

[mygod]

I guess you could take the whole cult to group therapy if someone wants to front the bill.

[ points at the word ]

That is?

[turbulency]

None of your business.

[ HE'S SUCH A BITCH i'm sorry famine ]

Anyway, if they're that powerful, and that dangerous... Then yeah. I'd probably just exterminate them.

[mygod]

Morbid and cagey.

[ as if famine wouldn't be the same... but they don't seem too offended after a brief frown ]

Even if it's far greater than forty lives?

[turbulency]

[ there's a lot to consider here. does he actually care if the cult summons another group of sacrifices after them? he figures that he should. ]

Life and death isn't a numbers game. [ wait ] I mean, it is... sometimes. But that's not all there is to it.

[mygod]

You're right.

But do you find these crimes to be terrible enough to be irredeemable? Or is punishment simply more efficient than rehabilitation?

[turbulency]

Not everyone can be fixed. Or fixed fast enough.

[ he thinks about something... ]

Are you a pacifist?

[mygod]

Not entirely. I agree with you that some people are too twisted to help.

Why do you ask?

[turbulency]

You're putting yourself at risk for forty strangers.

[mygod]

I don't have much left to risk.

Even if I did, the other option is to be cowardly and complicit in disregard for life. I'd rather not.

[turbulency]

You don't have a wish you'd sacrifice a handful of lives for?

[mygod]

No. I'm not that desperate.

Are you?

[turbulency]

Of course not.

[ note for the mods: said insincerely ]

[mygod]

[ ignores the words ]

And what do you wish for?

[turbulency]

I'd eradicate all curses.

[mygod]

You speak as though I should know what a curse is, and what it means to you.

[turbulency]

Do you want me to elaborate?

[mygod]

[ nods once. tell me the plot of jjk spoon ]

[turbulency]

[ I DON'T WANT TOOOOOOOO ]

Okay. Curses are manifestations of negative energy. They're basically... monsters. They're responsible for tens of thousands of deaths a year.

[mygod]

And so you'd like to eradicate all of those curses in order to prevent tens of thousands of deaths?

[ tilts head ]

Do these curses not count as 'life'? Is this a wish that you decided for yourself, or was it assigned to you?

[turbulency]

I decided it.

[ it's the end goal, even if the methods might be different among different sorcerers. ]

Curses aren't alive. They're just negative energy. It would be like if... a fire suddenly grew legs and started running into forests.

[mygod]

Only menaces that are a detriment to society then.

Will you be searching for your other monster half to accomplish this wish of yours then?

[turbulency]

No. [ uncomfy ] There's only one person I'd trust enough to risk it.

[mygod]

Your... friend?

[ is that what geto and gojo are to each other ]
