FORCED HONESTY MEME




You know the drill:

Post with your character.
Your character has to tell the truth and nothing but the truth!

Now interrogate each other.

Maybe, but at least I'm not following its goddamn script!

You don't want anybody to get hurt!? Go tell that to all the ones who just up and vanish forever day by day! Go tell that to the ones who might end up losing their livelihoods or worse while I'm not around to guarantee them! I never once claimed to be a good guy, but when I've taken on a responsibility I'm going to do my damn best and WORST to KEEP IT!!

And if that's too dirty for you, Mr. Hero, then good riddance!! Go sit in a corner and shove your twiddling thumbs up your ass like all the other heroes, gods, saviors and whatnot too! And then you can write books and stage plays about how BAD I am once I'm done! JUST STAY OUT OF MY DAMN WAY!!

[They're pretty taken aback by all of that, not in the least because most of that spiel wasn't entirely directed at them. It's enough to take the wind out of their sails, at least.]

... I have never stood in your way, Nura. That's where you're wrong.

[nuraridouman]

....Yeah. You just race to accuse me the moment I don't go out of my way for you.




So yes, maybe you're really too human for me. If that is what being human means to you.

[mightymorphin]

Oh yeah? Because you think sitting up on high watching us struggle like it's a spectator sport is something I oughta be just totally fine with?

I already have my answer. It's funny, how I spent all this time thinking we had something in common.

[nuraridouman]

....Hmmmph.


[He is tempted to say a lot of things, but in the end rationality wins. There's no point lecturing somebody who doesn't want to listen, and this old spiel is really only pissing Douman off. (This isn't the first time he's having this argument, and it won't be the last as long as he lets himself get involved with 'normal' humans. It's both frustrating and lowkey hurting.)

This is exactly why he had tried to push the mutant away more gently a while ago. So he just lets his body flow apart into dark mist, slinking away in a split-second while Morph's attention isn't 100% on the youkai.]
