Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

The look in Rythian's eyes. He was adamant that Ridge didn't deserve it, and I just got this feeling that, if I had done it, I'd be taking the last thing a good, innocent man cared for. I don't know if I could ever do that to somebody.

*Opens my mouth to speak, but closes it and looks down*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Hm? Why what?

@Armed Forces

What stopped you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I had the opportunity myself, one time. To take his life. He said he couldn't live with it, even though it wasn't actually him who did it. He wanted me to kill him, and I wanted to. I wanted to exact justice. But I couldn't. Rythian looked just as broken, and defeated. I couldn't bring myself to do it...

@Armed Forces

...Why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

It's a no.

@Armed Forces

...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

We'd all wish that, wouldn't we?

@Armed Forces

I'm guessing that's a no...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Because I wouldn't look flawless! No proper sculpture of me should look anything less than geometrically perfect.

@Mammalia

Statues are just artistic representations.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*It reads,
"Statue in Regrettful Memory of Revellyn Rhosyn
In this plaque, we recognize a man in recent history who scholars claim accrued the largest number of deaths any known individual has ever been responsible for. His initial atrocities included thr annihilation of many pioneer colonies, including, most notably, his home of Misneachd. Among the casualties attributed to him include his own family, save his brother, who is creditted with his defeat. His death was never confirmed, however. Some say he still roams freely to this day, and demon would not hesitate to finish what he started."

@Armed Forces

...Just a coincidence, right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I imagine, actually, that they might vilify my crystals if they were to create a sculpture of me for my evil. That would be horrible.

@Mammalia

Why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

"The Bloodiest Mystery Surrounding Extrasolar Colonization." I still remember the news reports... It might be better for you to read the plaque than have me explain.

@Armed Forces

*Reads it*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I know that if I was already evil, I would become unutterably evil for the sake of a statue.

@Mammalia

I feel that for me, it depends on how evil I suddenly become.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I can only imagine.
*Chuckles again before I look up at a particular statue we walk in front of and I stop, as my smile fades*
Hm. That's an incredibly unpleasant reminder.
*After taking a step back, the likeness of the statue becomes clearer, as it bears an overwhelming resemblance to Ridge*

@Armed Forces

Reminder of what?
