The town is in an uproar over a mere death. How strange...the majority of inhabitants here have declared themselves as warriors, and yet they object to seeing death? From my understanding of the situation, the victim understood what he was getting into. It is not the concern of bystanders to judge an event that was agreed to by both parties.

Because it was unsanctioned for one and you obviously don't understand the situation- the killer could very well be lying, and if you hadn't noticed it isn't those that have declared themselves as such that have gotten upset.
Stop being an apathetic fool and try to actually think about it longer than five seconds.

[gensephiroth]

I would watch your words, Miss; I may begin to take offense.

The situtation is that two warriors engaged in a battle, and one emerged. I do not see an issue with this. If I am engaged in such a battle, I do not intend to pull punches to satisfy the morality of a naive spectator.

[cronos_athena]

And so what if you do, am I supposed to be scared of you?

This didn't happen in the tournament, if it did the whole thing wouldn't be this big. This isn't about the spectators it's about knowing what's right and wrong and knowing you can't get away with such actions despite the situation. As soon as the other is revived he's going to have to be spoken with as well.

[gensephiroth]

You are a bold girl - it is no wonder that you are so outspoken on such an issue. I wonder whether you would retain your attitude through experience.

What is 'right' and what is 'wrong' is only relevant in relation to one's station in life. You are aware that the victim of this can be revived; how then, is it murder.

[cronos_athena]

Are you threatening me Sephiroth?

He killed him.

[gensephiroth]

Yet he is not dead.

If I was threatening you, would you insist on signing a waiver?

[cronos_athena]

Just because he is alive now does not change the fact the deed was done. He has to take responsibility for his actions. It does not reverse the fact he commited a crime.

No, if you are threatening me I will have you arrested.

[gensephiroth]

The 'authorities' here are worthless; relying on them is a naive wish.

If one considers his crime, it is for the irreversable action of taking another's life. His life is still there. This action was reversable.

Even if I did not accept that lives are regularly lost during combat, that fact alone makes your moral high ground puerile and unwarranted.

[cronos_athena]

I AM the authorities! I will arrest you myself if I have to!

And so he is, but if he doesn't even regard his action as something wrong it'll show people that anyone can get away with anything. And if that goes on those who aren't fighters will be targeted by people, the strong will hurt the weak just because they can. At the very least an example must be made.

Damnit, will you stop bringing up the fact it was a fight. Just because they decided to rumble for the hell of it doesn't mean he had to kill somebody. People fight all the time not once has anyone died of it before- thus meaning the death was not necessary.

*doesn't much care for playing nice now that Cloud's out to kill him*

I have already stated my opinion of those who would enforce their will upon me. If you intend to do so, I absolve myself of responsibility for your well being.

Question this dead man. This town is full of weak, impertinent fools.

[cronos_athena]

Sephiroth do not throw words at me as if you intend to do something.

It is better to be weak in body than be weak in mind like most of you so called fighters are.

[gensephiroth]

[[*is seriously considering having Sephiroth take on everyone after he regains tournament memories*]]

You have as of yet given me no reason to take action. You insinuate that all warriors are brutish and uncultured. I disagree with you. It is worthless to be weak in any manner. I was not created to lack in either regard, which is the weak man's folly.

[cronos_athena]

[[*And then What, Have Cloud kick his arse a third time?*]]

I suppose you're right you aren't all uncultured but you are lacking in mind in some ways, whether you care to see that in yourself, which you obviously don't, is your own folly.

[gensephiroth]

[[*If Cloud can. :3 It would be interesting at least.*]]

I 'lack in mind' because I acknowledge that death is an inevitable fate for those who fight, and that a death that can be reversed is hardly a matter to be argued over with any sense of finality? Because I do not agree with your opinion, you assume yourself and your stance to be superior.
