"...Is it ever alright to kill someone else?

"Or simply yourself...?"

"Under the right circumstances, I think so. If it's self-defence, for example. But you'd need a very good reason to kill yourself."

[eternally_stuck]

"Well..." She hesitated. "it didn't seem as bad as killing him..."

[in_the_cracks]

She looks faintly alarmed, even concerned. "Not as bad? How?"

[eternally_stuck]

"Well..." She hesitated. "I wouldn't have to feel guilty about it... or risk losing my head over him. And it would annoy him to no end..." She liked to think so, at least.

"And it would be very rebellious. I've always wanted to do that, you know..."

Ben Parker drops down from a rafter and perches on a chair. Pasty white skin with swirly black tattoos or markings on his neck, up onto his face and all of his exposed skin.

"Only time I'd say its alright to kill someone is to protect someones life. But thats just me."

He stands up then plops down in the chair to sit normally.

"Does one's own not count?"

[duplicatespider]

"Only if my life caused harm to another being. I couldnt. I thought about it a lot awhile back. But... yeah. Vague catholic family so suicide never been looked upon well. I was dying, or at least thought I was at the time, too."

[eternally_stuck]

She blinks. "I meant... saving one's life. Though that was my next question....."

[respawnedhero]

I've killed myself before. A lot of times, actually. But I don't know if that's right, or if I'm just getting to the point where my respawning is ruining me psychologicaly.

But it's alright to kill someone else if it's to save other people's lives. I know that.

"...That sounds... rather horrible." She frowns. "What's wrong?"

The Jedi looks Gabrielle up and down. The other woman's question was one that had never, in her memory, bothered her - she was, after all, a soldier to the bone. "Yes, it is. Some people deserve to die. And sometimes in war, people who don't deserve to die have to." She feels certain that there are times when it's okay to kill - even the self-righteous Bastilla would admit that - but these days she's finding that those times are coming more often than not. That does bother her. "Why do you ask?"

[eternally_stuck]

"Just..." She frowns, glancing away. "Something I'm considering." Another pause. "Killing someone.

"Maybe."

I've killed people, and not always for the right reasons. I regret the ones I shouldn't have killed, but there's no goin' back. Every other single kill has been what you might call a necessary act. Self-defense, or defense of the defenseless when there's no other way. Those are pretty much the only times I could justify it.

Never killed myself. Came close a couple of times though. It's probably not okay, and it's nothing I think you should do, ever? But we're each the final arbiters of our own lives. There's plenty of people out there killing themselves slowly, and they know they're doing it, too.

[eternally_stuck]

I'm more worried him killing me. Slowly, I mean... [hence the quandary. She could just leave - but considering her time period, it's really not that simple...]

[foxitrix]

Welp. That sucks. What makes you think this "he" guy is going to kill you?

[eternally_stuck]

Because he's marrying me.
