Hime, it's Nel. I'm just checking to see how you've been adjusting to Luceti. Did the experiment cause you any problems?

[Public]This might be kind of an odd question, but if anyone cares to answer I'd like to hear it ( Read more... )

respects authority, nel is a worrywart

[...] The trusted authority in my world was odd.

[Voice] former_third April 16 2011, 15:05:02 UTC

Odd? How do you mean?

[Voice] heroicarturia April 16 2011, 15:07:18 UTC

The country was divided. One part liked his leadership and the other was against him.

[Voice] former_third April 16 2011, 15:10:59 UTC

That sounds somewhat similar to my situation back home. Though the side for the ruler was most definitely winning, enough for the leader to be able to begin another war against... I suppose you could call it something like a rival country.

[Voice] heroicarturia April 16 2011, 15:12:54 UTC

I see. Nothing like that really happened in the country I came from, but the group that opposed the ruler was mainly his own army and comrades. ...They did not believe he was human enough.

[Voice] former_third April 16 2011, 15:23:13 UTC

That... wasn't really a problem where I come from. Not being human I mean.

[Voice] heroicarturia April 16 2011, 15:32:37 UTC

What was your problem then?

[Voice] former_third April 16 2011, 15:58:42 UTC

I suppose you could call it instinct versus reason.

[Voice] heroicarturia April 18 2011, 19:16:07 UTC

Instinct? Like the need to survive you mean?

[Voice] former_third April 19 2011, 02:47:24 UTC

Among others. Instinct would be any natural, immediate response, everything from hunger to fight or flight.

[Voice] heroicarturia April 20 2011, 06:05:14 UTC

So your ruler did not provide for you, causing 'instinct' to overcome the 'reason'.

[Voice] former_third April 21 2011, 22:04:28 UTC

Actually, it's the other way around. My ruler is the one who introduced "reason" to a world that had only known "instinct". However, not everyone was ready to accept it. Being able to reason means facing your actions, and the consequences of them. Some of us... weren't prepared for that.

I see. To change the way someone has lived their entire life, so suddenly and without much caution. It is clear why there was a revolt of some sort. Sad, but no one can ever truly be in equal agreement over something. What happened then?

[Voice] former_third April 24 2011, 03:56:06 UTC

Those who rebelled were no match for the ones who joined with him. Soon enough, any who openly resisted his rule were crushed. The only threats to him were those outside, and those who had hidden their true intentions and pretended to ally with him.

[Voice] heroicarturia April 24 2011, 07:19:51 UTC

I see. It happens a lot. Rebellions are rarely ever so effective. When they are it's usually a great one, but when they fail it's almost heartbreaking. [...] It was the opposite with the rule of my land. There was a rebellion against the ruler and the rebellion ended in a standstill. Many of it's members died, but the ruler was defeated in the end.
