Art can also be consistently objectively defined, even if definitions differ. I could define art as 'something which the creator intended to convey meaning through methods besides language', or 'objects which evoke emotions which would be identified by the one experiencing it as 'awe' or 'admiration' or 'melancholy'.'. Art could also be prescriptive: 'Art is the result of dancing, singing, painting or sculpting, and nothing else'.

None of these definitions are any more or less subjective than 'evil is performing an unwanted action on an unwilling participant' or 'evil is the termination of a living organism for whatever reason' or 'evil is the character of actions which reduce the overall utility of Creation.'.

Of course, this is all assuming that we mean the same thing when we say 'objective' or 'subjective' an assumption which I am sure, just like with the words art or evil, is incorrect. I am sure, of course, that you have a very useful definition for the words 'soul' and 'evil', that goes without saying. It might be more fruitful to ask, "What has she done after her inception, to evidence the assertion that she's evil. And why is she trying to kill you all?"

@Legend

I'm afraid the only response I can give to your objection is "You're obviously wrong". I don't know how to make myself any more clear than 'there is no substantive difference between 'evil is taxes' and 'art is dancing'': I'll try again when I understand you better.

Or not. I don't think it's going to be useful if we keep talking about language: I'm beginning to think our differences are too great to easily reconcile.

Anyways: is there anything I can do to be useful? I'm ready to believe that it's this Kirina who tried to kill everyone here, and so I figure this is as good a reason as any to invoke the exception to my Pilgrimage.

Well, then wait I'll simply have to do. You'll forgive me if I don't return to my ship immediately: philotic influences might get picked up by her, and I'd rather not invite her to blot my ship from orbit. It's not the most sturdy of vessels, and vacuum is so very dull.

@Legend

Much obliged. I'll stay until there's no threat of my property getting atomized, at the very least. Beyond that, well, I'd hate to impose. You seem like a tight-knit group, I won't spoil the dynamic.

Ah, hello sorry for ignoring you, busy day. But yeah, Kirina isn't one you'd want to mess with. She ripped control of 75% of the GIA from me, an impressive army that I once lead. Now? The remaining 25% have fled along with me, and she took control, renaming it the CA.

*sighs*
Went of topic there for a moment, but the point is, shes here, she wants to kill us all.

*looks to data*

Also, he can be a handful, hes all charts and, well, data. No sort of anything nonfactual, so he probably wouldn't be able to give you a definition for anyhting you'd need not based on facts and charts.

@souleaterfan320

I think you're not giving him enough credit. Scripture declares that it is the responsibility of the scientist, the data-collector and the chart-maker to measure what is measurable and make measurable what is not so. Of course, you know him better than I do.

Regardless. There's no need for apologies, of course: I've been nothing but intrusive. I'm sorry for your loss, of course: I'm sure you'll get the rest back. And you've got my support in not getting killed, though apparently that is worth very little. Murder is a sin, after all.

@Legend

Much obliged. I'll stay until there's no threat of my property getting atomized, at the very least. Beyond that, well, I'd hate to impose. You seem like a tight-knit group, I won't spoil the dynamic.

@Etcetera
Damnit...

*falls to my knees, weak*

I might actually lose to you, techi... a fool like you is going to defeat the likes of me... just the thought, it's... DISGUSTING...

@Etcetera
.... no... I won't let this happen.... I REFUSE.

*my power skyrockets beyond what it already was, nearly tripling it. I slowly rise, and my arm raises, my hand grasping what appears to be thin air, but suddenly, the universe itself shakes, as its energy forms into a ball half as large as the universe itself.*

If this is how its got to be, then I'll gladly end everything. Right here, right now.
