Maybe...

Maybe this is right. Breaking the buildings like this. Breaking the whole city. Roads and floors are too hard for plants to grow through. Soon it will all crumble to dirt and the people will all be dead and not able to rebuild it. Everything will be better covered in flowers. They are beautiful and cannot hurt you.

This must be right.

Sister... Ionia knows you are not the most smart one ever, but try not to say things that are that stupid. If it was right then we would not be fighting the Aparoids to save everybody. If people are dead then it is never right.

So because we are fighting Aparoids to protect everyone from being dead, it is obviously not right. This is called logic.

[pudgy_purple]

I never said I wanted anybody to be dead. But you know too that things that we want are not always the thing that is right.

People are already dead so we are not doing a very good job at protecting.

[ionianmode]

Speak for yourself, sister. The things Ionia wants are to be great and to make the people that she loves happy. Those are always the right things.

At least Ionia is trying! That is better than standing around and saying stupid things!

[pudgy_purple]

Do not say I am just standing around because I am not. You do not know how much I had to fight already and how many of the things I had to kill and still am.

...you do not try too much to make me happy.

But...

If everyone is dead...who will be around to enjoy not being hurt? It won't matter if one is not hurt. One would be dead.

[pudgy_purple]

I am still going to try to make sure people do not die. I just am not sure if it is right.

[zelly_bean]

Hm.

Personally, I believe it's right because people don't deserve to die.

*long pause*

But then what about the enemy?

[pudgy_purple]

I did not want to kill them either. Nobody should have to die for all this.

But there are so many. Killing each other. Dying. Many bodies on the street.

Everybody dies.

...

Not all flowers are soft and kind, sister, even if they are beautiful. Some of them can cause harm when they are defending themselves.

I am worried about you, Petunia.

[pudgy_purple]

But at least it would only be because somebody hurt them first.

Why?

[whitetoxin]

That is happening right now too, is it not? Even if we are not all very pretty, and some of us get into fights on our own. Right now it is because someone is trying to hurt us.

...Because I am.

[pudgy_purple]

Some of the people here anyway hurt other people first.
None of this is right.

Do not be. I am okay.

[blazinglizard]

Yeah, down with the capitalist pig-dogs and their goddamn civilization or whatever.

Seriously, what's the deal with the hippie bullshit, Shamu? Weird time to go all anarchist.

[pudgy_purple]

*Oh god Petunia has never heard half these words and there is no dictionary in sight*

My name is not Shamu, it is Petunia. Please stop calling me that.

...You were right, also. I am sorry for not believing you before.

[blazinglizard]

I'm just exercisin' my right to freedom of speech.

Huh. Is that what this is all about, then?

[pudgy_purple]

It is just silly to not have the right name for somebody if you do know what it is.

I... do not know. Anymore. What anything is about.

[pudgy_purple]

I do not want you to be scared, Ulty.

I am not okay. But it is not something to worry about.

[pudgy_purple]

Somebody is going to have to be dead. Us or the people trying to kill us.
