So the only other person with a grain of sense in this place appears to have gone. And where has the Master run off to?

Nuh-uh... I'm still here.

[rani_ushas]

And you are?

[rayney_day]

Rayne. A warden with common sense.

[rani_ushas]

I've heard of you. You do seem to be one of the more straightforward sorts here. Though that may not be saying much.

[rayney_day]

Calling a spade a spade doesn't make me many friends.

Not that I actually care about that...

[rani_ushas]

I have never found it particularly useful to dwell on the emotions of others.

[rayney_day]

Me, neither. I usually just kill bad things.

[rani_ushas]

"Bad things"? By what criteria do you make that judgement?

[rayney_day]

Well, they're usually big monsters with fangs who've risen up from hell and declare the need to kill every living thing, so... Y'know.

[rani_ushas]

Interspecies conflict, then. I see.

[rayney_day]

That and interdimensional.

I don't know why she decided to go all pedantic. :\

[rani_ushas]

Of course, just because something is inimical to your existence does not make it objectively "bad". Merely subjectively.

Because she is the Rani!

[rayney_day]

Yeah... It kinda' does, actually.

[rani_ushas]

Most judgements of "bad" or "good" are based on moral systems that are by no means universal. I can be persuaded to see that the sorts of incursions that lead to widespread universal collapse are "bad", but only because it is a highly inefficient use of the system.

[rayney_day]

Honey... If it's trying to kill me, it's bad.

[rani_ushas]

"Honey"?

That is a typically self-centred view.
