What would you do if you found out that someone you cared about passed away? What if you knew who to blame for it?


Would you make them pay somehow or would you go out and find a new solution?

I just want to know your opinions. My reasons for asking are a little personal, sorry.

Those are some loaded questions.

It's some trouble from back home.

Sorry for bothering you so much, there's been a lot on my mind.

Death is the natural order of things.

Some people believe that dying before your natural lifespan expires is...wrong, murder and such, but people die when they have to. Vengeance wouldn't change that.

Having said that, I'd probably still take it.

[kindking]

It's messed up to die as a result of another person's actions.

When you get down to it it's a tough decision. No matter what you decide to choose you'll have to deal with the consequences.

I wouldn't forgive them. But I don't think enacting some kind of revenge would help, either.

text

[kindking]

Revenge might not help, but they have to take responsibility for their actions somehow.

Not forgiving seems normal. You'd have to put aside your differences to be able to do that. It's not easy.

( ohhh boy these hit close to home. )

That would depend on the circumstances of their passing. Is it something still to happen for you?

[kindking]

From my current timeline, yes. She hasn't died yet but eventually she will.

I have every reason to believe that it'll happen in the near future.

...Even if you knew who did it, that'd do nothing to bring your loved ones back to life.

[He should know, after all, as wrong as the priest is in regards to his path, there were some truths in his words.]

[kindking]

Then you think it's okay to let them walk away without even being punished for what they did?

[inthejunk]

Ppl should be held rspnsbl 4 their actions.

[kindking]

The real question is how would you go about and do that?

...I guess it depends on what the other person did.

[kindking]

Well, he's selfish and only cares about himself. Then he uses other people like tools. Inori had to die because he did whatever he wanted to her.

That's not just something I can accept.

Depends on how and why the person was killed.

Voice; private

[kindking]

The whole situation's a bit complicated.

Gai used Inori like a pawn and after he was done with her, she had to pay the price.

Let's just say he's thoughtless and violent. Back at home he runs a terrorist organization and there's a price on his head. That just shows how many people he's already mistreated and killed. Inori wasn't the only one who had to suffer because of him.

[skennen]

Your words are a little vague. Do you mean to ask what people would do if someone they cared for was murdered and they knew who killed them?

text

[kindking]

No, I didn't mean that. I'm sorry.

They don't die by murder. It's just that someone else's actions eventually lead up to the death of another. They're responsible for it.

[voice]

[galactically]

Geez, people are asking such horrible questions around here!

text

[kindking]

I'm sorry. I'm only asking horrible questions because horrible things happened.

What I'm saying is I need help.

[ex_texting536]

My apologies, Ouma. It seems I have started something I should possibly had let remain as it was.

text;

[kindking]

You have nothing to be sorry for. It's Gai who should be apologizing.

He doesn't even want to show himself because he knows about everything that's happened so far. It's more proof that's he's guilty and you were right.

[motherofnemesis]

make them pay, of course.

[kindking]

How exactly would you go about and do that? When you start thinking about it it's not simple at all.

[rescuer]

I'd see if there was some way to prevent it from happening in the first place. If you change the past, you can change the future.

[ As is obvious by the work they're doing in this place. ]

And if that isn't possible, well... I'd try my best to keep them from hurting more people. It's never good to have hate in your heart, and revenge won't soothe it.

text.

[kindking]

Keep him from hurting more people? I don't know what I can do to stop him completely, but it's about saving more lives then there's still some things I can try.

I'm sorry, I'll need more time to think about it.

[whomheloved]

i would grieve
i would grieve a great deal
but i would also try to honour their memory
and revenge is never the way of doing that

[kindking]

It sounds hard to do both of those at once.

You must be a strong person.

[whatsupcroc]

Then I'd know two things that wouldn't make me very happy but might help me understand something about the people I care about and what maybe can... I dunno, change if we look hard enough.

It's not making someone pay if they're not going to feel what they did was wrong. Besides, if you don't find a way to change it, if you don't look for that, what're you really doing with your time here?

text;

[kindking]

Someone told me that no matter what I do here it won't change anything that's happened back home.

Maybe it's pointless to think about it.

[breakin_ur_lore]

"If"? [It just seems like something most people have been through, to him.]

[kindking]

It's supposed to be something that happens in my future. That's why I phrased it that way.

[bittertears]

I would see to it that they answer for their actions.

permatext

[kindking]

There's a lot of ways you could go about and do that.

What would you try?

[Nothing]

[voidseeing]

[The only word that can really describe Gai's feelings right now is "disappointed." He'd had faith in Shu, trusted him, and for what? This? This is how little trust Shu had for him even with his memories back?

He's starting to wonder whether allowing himself to die was really the right choice if this is how Shu is going to handle things. Well, either way, it's out of his hands now, and whatever is going to happen will happen whether he wants it to or not.

But he's still angry and disappointed and will not be well-disposed towards his former friend when next they meet.]

[ He normally wouldn't respond with a genuine answer to such philosophical pondering, and on the off-chance he did, it would be something along the lines of 'the law'. But not today. This is something that's been weighing on his mind far too heavily of late. ]

What would you consider a 'new' solution?

[OOC: apologizes for the lateness D: i was on slowatus for a while woops. ]

Something that isn't revenge or ignoring them? Revenge is wrong though.
