With a nervous brush of fingers through her hair, April contemplates the Nexus.

"Is there really a difference between a person who does an evil act? Or a 'monster' that is considered evil?"

It hasn't been very long since Clark's last visit, and concurrently his encounter with Aldar. He has a lot of things to sort through yet. But April looks like she needs someone. Needs him. "I think so. It depends on the reasons why they do evil things. What happened?"

[slayers_desire]

"There were a couple of murders in Rome." April hugs herself. "The degree of badness is right up there with what Aldar did."

[kalel_ofkrypton]

Murders are never a good thing, especially so close on the heels of what he saw in Seattle. He moves to hug her. "I'm sorry to hear that. Do the police have any leads?"

[slayers_desire]

"The are investigating other missing people. Because according to a message left at the scene, this murder wasn't the first." April finds comfort and strength in his arms.

"Yes," is the instantaneous reply. "With one we have proof, with the other we have suspicions. Sometimes those suspicions are accurate, sometimes we consider things evil because we have been told to consider them evil."

[slayers_desire]

"Sometimes the proof for the first is harder to achieve."

"And sometimes it is hard to truly define evil."

[nevertrustcrows]

"But if you didn't have the proof then you wouldn't know he was evil to call him evil so you would not ask yourself the question."

At the second comment Lichtenstein sighs. "Only because people fuss and whine and poke and complain about it until the core idea is so complicated that justice becomes a minefield to navigate. Defining what is 'wrong' and what is 'right' is incredibly easy if people just think logically."

[slayers_desire]

"Someone is killing other people. I just don't know who."

"But one person's definition of wrong and right is different than anothers."

"I don't believe in monsters," Rock says, a bit softly.

[slayers_desire]

"Its easier to believe when you live in a world with such creatures."

[rox4brains]

Rock just shakes his head at that. "People are people. I don't want to judge someone just because of what they are. What someone does, and why they did it is much more important."

[slayers_desire]

"There are a lot of people who do bad stuff around."

[lord_it_over]

Yes. One is an amateur, and the other knows what they're doing. Also, they ought to be working for him.

[slayers_desire]

"I have found that not all monsters are intelligent in their tasks."

[lord_it_over]

They don't need to be. Just look at his minions. If it doesn't understand anything, it's just an animal.

[nokilling]

"I know a lot of mad scientists who'd be ticked if somebody suggested all their hard work doing evil was no different than a kid stealing gum for kicks. Haha--uh. I hope this wasn't a personal question, I didn't mean to make fun."

[slayers_desire]

"Just a situation in my home world."
