We all wish desperately to go home, as a matter of course. The key, I believe, to returning home is figuring out precisely why we've been brought here, and that means deducing what commonalities exist amongst us. And it seems that I have noticed one not uncommon trait among many here, and wish to know if it is indeed a pattern or merely a ( Read more... )

Is killing humans a crime?

Voice mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:20:45 UTC

It is.

Voice yourporcinepal May 10 2010, 00:21:34 UTC

And taking their things?

Voice mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:32:58 UTC

Also a crime.

Are you thinking this place is supposed to act like a prison?

Voice. mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:21:38 UTC

That is...one possible conclusion. As I have not yet gathered a great deal of evidence, however, I am not yet willing to come to a conclusion.

Voice. zealouspeter May 10 2010, 00:30:08 UTC

Is most of your evidence pointing toward that answer?

Voice. mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:33:56 UTC

Again. It is too early to come to that conclusion.

Ya got an answer yerself?

mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:34:19 UTC

I do.

masking May 10 2010, 00:35:33 UTC

Oooh~. ♪ Care to share?

mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:40:05 UTC

Not particularly.

I don't know. Who decides what a crime is?

voice; mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:49:36 UTC

The state or governing authority.

voice; pullsheavendown May 10 2010, 00:50:34 UTC

What if there isn't one?

voice; mentis_reae May 10 2010, 00:58:50 UTC

In a state of anarchy? Then it becomes rather more difficult. Usually, even in periods of anarchy, smaller loci of power, as it were, form; even if there is not an overarching state, there is usually a local government or even a family unit. Each unit determines what is criminal, unforgivable. In the absence of that, however, what is a crime becomes something of a thought-experiment and no better. There are certain crimes, of course, automatically designated as such - murder, larceny, assault, et cetera, but when one becomes more specific, it becomes difficult to say. In the end, it becomes what you would deem a transgression.

Yes.

How long ago, and what were the circumstances?

[voice | encrypted] walkthedawn May 10 2010, 01:15:56 UTC

Over a year ago and up until arriving here. The circumstances are...complicated.

For some of them, I was a willing accomplice because I didn't understand what I was doing. At another point, my body was used for someone's own purposes. But the more recent actions were all my own doing and of my own free will.

[voice | encrypted] mentis_reae May 10 2010, 01:19:37 UTC

And what did you do of your free will?
