I'm not the same kind of hero as a firefighter; I pretty much exclusively make people disappear. That doesn't have far reaching implications.

@Techspert

And you don’t see the negative waves of influence that kind of work creates?

Limbo: ... it does sound..intense... must be The Warrior that they are facing... nice to meet you, Kat. Thank you for helping me.

@souleaterfan320

No problem! Protecting people is my specialty! Along with beating up people who mess with the people I’m trying to protect!

"Wow, I'm going to torture a thousand people after I beat you. Oh no I lost. Now I can't torture a thousand people."
No, not really seeing the connection.

Despite the bad things some people do, there can be- note not always are, but can be- people who care for them. And despite the fact that they were doing something bad, their life was taken on the spot, at the discretion if someone they don’t know, without any semblance of due process or anything. This is one generic example, of course, but you see where I’m going?

Sleep.

@Intrepid

Nope. A dude walks into your home and you kill him in self defense. He probably also had a family that now has to find a way to survive without a primary source of income. He also didn't have that "due process" thing. But honestly, pretty much nobody is going to be bothered to care any less, because it was about protection. Plus, it's not like we have some kind of court on our scale; call us vigilantes if you want, but that's meaningless to everybody but you.

*My eye twitches*
Yes, keep it going, more of that!
*A dozen spears stick into you and absorb your energy twelve times more rapidly*

More!

@Techspert

Home invasion is a good example. A lot of the time, your example holds true. But it isn’t always so one sided. A lot of bad people die through the inverse, and the other people indirectly involved have no way to change it. No way to get justice, or at least try, even if it would never succeed. Discounting the opinion because you don’t share it, despite the fact that so many do, is one of the few reasons my respect for your collective isn’t what it could be. A lot of you share that opinion. It doesn’t matter why people die to determine that people care, it’s just that they did.

Ha. Hahaha. But I'm going to hurt you!
*The scythes lift me off the ground and I advance toward you*

@souleaterfan320

Most definitely. That’s why I’m down hete with you. A friend thinks you’re worth protecting, so I’m keeping an eye on you. Maybe I don’t like being the Plan B, but we need one in case things get hairy for them.

Please stop, Jade.

@Intrepid

Your problem is the assumption that being the judge and executioner is unjust. You also lost me at that last bit.

*The scythes dig into the ground, creating huge trenches as they slow me down*
Never.
*They fling me forward as a series of spears shoot out toward you*

I'm....sorry...

Limbo: that is understandable... i wish I had friends like you. I did have friends, but it was long ago. Before I became...me.
