[ manbun..... ]

Wow. [ sounding impressed ] Are you feeling homicidal already?

[turbulency]

[ stop he had a manbun before the hipsters took it. i think. ]

I'm not. I'm just curious.

[mygod]

Extremely morbid curiosity.

[ they answer, though ]

That's possible. Though I don't think mass slaughter would be helpful in the long run. It took time to summon you all, but another group could be summoned in your place if the rest of their cult notice that their sacrificial pigs have died prematurely.

[turbulency]

This is a morbid place.

[ frowns a little at being called a sacrificial pig ]

But that means there's probably some vested interest in keeping us alive, for now at least?

[mygod]

Among the rest of the cult, yes. Until the time of the ritual.

The four of us do hope you make it past that, though I suppose we can't stop you from bludgeoning each other.

[turbulency]

We have no reason to bludgeon each other.

[ yet ]

But... What exactly are you trying to achieve? You want to keep us from being sacrifices, so are you going to dismantle the cult entirely?

[mygod]

[ a pause, because people have already started bludgeoning each other without reason but sure geto, live in your fantasy world ]

Disrupting the ritual is my personal goal, since I disagree with this level of sacrifice. You'll have to ask the others for theirs.

I'll see how I feel about the cult after.

[turbulency]

[ THEY HAVE? MURDER PROPOSALS AREN'T EVEN OPEN well he can't control people being idiots ]

So... we might escape, but you haven't thought as far as keeping them from just summoning more "sacrificial pigs"?

[mygod]

If they find another form of ritual that doesn't require the sacrifice of human and apparently dog life, I'm curious to understand it.

But if they're determined to stick to this one, then you're right that it's better off not existing at all.

Though that will still likely involve bloodshed.

[turbulency]

So you'd exterminate them?

[mygod]

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?
