Where in the hell did a bag of teeth come from?

You have to be the hero since you started it all! So you have to be the hero of the story

I bet you're a hero for real

[firacrux]

Is that how that works?

Hah. If only.

[Quite the contrary unfortunately.]

[hellofishies]

of course!

well if you're not the hero then you can be the hero now!

[firacrux]

That's.


Surprisingly optimistic.

[He's not used to that kind of optimism.]

[hellofishies]

i like to think people can change or just be better.

if i didn't it would be very depressing and everything is depressing enough

[firacrux]

You really do look on the bright side don't you?

There are plenty of others to be depressing for you. But you're right, probably don't need much more of it.

[hellofishies]

someone has to right? everyone else i knew always thought about the dark side. and there were a lot of dark sides after what we did. but i like to hope people can be better and things can be better.

[ or she just likes to fake it. ]

[firacrux]

Someone has to. What you did? Who's "we"?

Do you really think people can be better?

[He wishes she was right.]

[hellofishies]

we is me and my friends. and we punched a hole through something we shouldn't have

yes! sometimes they need a little help though

[firacrux]

It's an easy mistake to make.

Hm. Is it worth it? Why not just leave them to their consequences?

[hellofishies]

it flooded all of Britain.

because everyone deserves a chance to try to improve, don't they?

[firacrux]

I dunno what a Britain is but that does sound pretty bad.

A nice sentiment. Dunno how practical. Still


a nice sentiment.

[hellofishies]

a big place where a lot of people lived

its practical for people like me. do you not think people should be given second chances?

[firacrux]

Ah. Yeah that'd be pretty bad.

I don't know. Can't say there's been opportunity for it where I'm from. Fuck up enough you're done.

[hellofishies]

That just seems stupid

if someone keeps fucking up then you should try to help

[firacrux]

We probably could've used someone like you back at Garden.

[hellofishies]

i like gardens! what could you have used me for?

[firacrux]

I don't think you'd like this one so much.

A sense of compassion.

[hellofishies]

why wouldn't i like it?

compassion is important and so are second chances. people forget that too fast

[firacrux]

It doesn't grow any plants. Just soldiers.

Hm.

[He doesn't have much to say on the latter part but she did get him thinking. That's worth something isn't it?]

[hellofishies]

oh. i don't really like soldiers much.

[firacrux]

We don't much like us either.

[hellofishies]

oh. im sorry. why do you not like you?

[firacrux]

Better not to get too attached to people you might have to kill later.

[Not that any of them were nearly as good at that as they were "supposed" to be.]

[hellofishies]

i don't think thats true
