Has the ship's "system" ever actually failed

Comments

[shadesofeco]

It has failed.

And you're not supposed to enjoy Redd's punishments, that's the point. You could try not killing instead.

[demonsinmymind]

Oh, has it now? How often?

And you make it sound so easy. [Laughs softly.]

[shadesofeco]

I don't know, I don't keep tabs on it.

How hard can it be to not kill people?

[demonsinmymind]

Suppose I asked you to never consume any food ever again that involved the harming of a living thing. Not simply vegetarianism; plant materials and animal products are also off-limits.

It is, perhaps, a fitting analogy.

[shadesofeco]

[Yeah, he totally doesn't believe that, and he rolls his eyes.]

Then I'd find another food source.

What are you even talking about? This isn't about eating, it's about murder.

[demonsinmymind]

To you, it's about murder.

To me, it's just as important as air and water and food.

[shadesofeco]

You're not making any sense.

[demonsinmymind]

I wouldn't expect a mongrel to understand.

[shadesofeco]

A what?

[demonsinmymind]

A mongrel. You barbaric elves. [Deadpan, as if this is obvious.]

[shadesofeco]

You know nothing about my parents.

[demonsinmymind]

I know enough, just from looking at you. Mongrel ears, mongrel hair, mongrel skin.

Granted, you seem a bit more reasonable than your kind usually is, but still.

[shadesofeco]

What do you mean "my kind"? Havenites?

My father was a good man, from Mar lineage.

[Yeah, wow that was weird now that he thought about it.]

[demonsinmymind]

Hmph. I'm not that familiar with your kind, and I don't care to be. That means nothing to me.

[shadesofeco]

Familiar enough for insults.

Think what you want. I don't need the opinion of a murderer.

[demonsinmymind]

Heh. Sharp, for a mongrel.
