They come with a certain amount of annoyance, that's for sure.

@Webmaster

Certain amount? They seem like an unlivable nightmare.

...
Certainly not.

@Magnanimity

Oh...
*Nudges a warty, round fruit to the side with my foot*
I'm sorry for you.

@LimeTime966

Okay, just when I thought someone couldn't have more family drama than me. Story time?

<Snipped quote by Session>

If it were the definitive truth I were making observations about, that would be true. The potential exists for rotten people to ruin existence for a lot of people, and not just potential, but a historically proven record of past behavior and tendency. No one has to bear the consequences for that that won't need to, now.

@Nemeses

Okay, but what if it's not this people? What if it's their children, or their children's children? There's a new path for them now, and it doesn't have to be this way.

@Server

That’s not something I’m unhappy with, as it stands. So don’t cry for me, we still have to finish looking at you.

@Webmaster

But I don't have a family. I've only watched people with families. They look like an unlivable mess.

@Session

So they grow full of spite for the grander world instead? No. If this is the route you’re choosing to come from then I take it you have nothing to offer in terms of redeeming qualities in these people. They may as well try again. Return in a future era.

@Nemeses

By the time I got here, these people were almost entirely dead. The one person I spoke to was kind and willing to admit her mistakes. She did a 180 to help me help them all. I don't know what kinds of worlds you've been to, but that takes guts, and not the kind of guts most people have.

@LimeTime966

What sort of families did you spy on?

[LimeTime966]

<Snipped quote by LimeTime966>

@Webmaster

Normal, everyday ones. They love each other, and then hate each other at other times? Unlivable amount of emotion. I can't keep track of all that.

@Session

You would use the actions of this one woman to shift the judgment of them all?

@LimeTime966

Goes back to your no-happiness thing, right?

@Nemeses

One woman's all I got. But if she's representative of all these people, then there's no way they're all bad. There's something redeemable in them, and that seed can shape their entire future.

@Session

Has anyone ever told you that you wear desperation on your sleeve? Anyone not at risk of being thrown in a cell would be far more hesitant toward a group who turned out to be elitist and genocidal.

@Nemeses

I am desperate, chief. But not because I'm scared of going back to jail—afraid that ship has sailed. Once I've agreed to cure someone, it's my responsibility to do everything within my power to make that happen.

@Session

And the pain they’d cause the undeserving, should that future come to pass, is something you’d bear on your shoulders as the weight of your own decision?

@Nemeses

Once a patient is on the operating table, it's too late for a doctor to decide they're not worth saving. That's where the people are with me.

@Session

When calamity strikes, it’s not up to the storm to decide they are. If your intentions are as pure as you wish me to believe they are, then know that truly is admirable. But making this call is never something I consult with the empath in myself over.

@Webmaster

No, I just don't like mixed emotions. Too complicated.

@Nemeses

Then what would it take to show you these people's hearts aren't as sick as you think they are?
