So that would make you some kind of executioner?

@Artifact

An executioner who makes my own calls. I can't say you're too far off the mark.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What’s “too far gone,” exactly?

@Artifact

Remorseless for actions a normal person would call atrocious. Overbearing willingness to do that again. No capacity to be civil in any regard.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What are you about then? Your revenge quest?

@Artifact

I'm about doing right by everyone who isn't too far gone, and settling the score with everyone who is too far gone so I can keep "traumatic past" out of as many people's profiles as possible.

My revenge quest is a byproduct of that with the side effect of closure for me.

*Looks you up and down, and raises an eyebrow*
How’s that?

@Artifact

You're strong, biased, emotional, driven, have a troubled history and you know what you're all about. That's just off the top of my head with the little I've learned.

When it’s still a question like that, I have the right to be defensive.

@Artifact

Evidence towards is exactly one thing. A pretty egregious thing, for sure, but just the one, in my opinion. That I mentioned earlier, about relentless conquesting of innocent people and all that. But a lot of the other stuff? I see a bit of me in you.

Then I have no problem with it. Another step to show you that I’m not the monster you think I am.

@Artifact

You sure are defensive. I will solidly say that I’ve not seen enough to make that accusation. Troubled? Sure. Misguided? Definitely, in recent years at least. Confused? Maybe. Monster?
*Shrugs*
Not so sure about that one, right now.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I’m not exactly in a position to judge you, so...

@Artifact

Judge all you like. It’s all about the weight it carries.

But to be crystal clear, Keth are just cattle. Just livestock, but very big livestock.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

I just met you. I have no idea what you eat.

@Artifact

I think it’s universal that it’s immoral to eat things that are sentient.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

As long as it doesn’t talk, I’ll eat it.

@Artifact

You take me for the kind of person that’s that inhumane?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Livestock?

@Artifact

It is livestock where it’s from, yeah.
