[ he doesn't know why things aren't outlawed, damn. he's the outlaw. ]
I dunno. Marines torture criminals for answer all the time. [ or for fun, but he thinks if he says that ryuki will lose his mind. also like they aren't SUPPOSED to do it for fun. ]
I meant I'm the wrong person to ask about laws, but. Sure. Eyepatches!
[ just nods like that's valid. though for some reason he looks a little surprised at ryuki outright stating people ... suck and are cruel. he doesn't look like he disagrees! just. surprise. ]
I guess so. It's not really anything that's discussed if it's used on criminals.
Not even criminals deserve that. It's twisted to outlaw things and then turn around and use it when you're above the law and call it a necessary evil. It shouldn't work like that. When you get that far, it's not justice anymore -- it loses all meaning.
[ He's very serious about JUSTICE!!! okay. He should've been in that team and then subsequently get girlbossed to death in Homo. ]
[ this is feeling very similar to every single "[reigen voice] ace you live in a dystopia" talk and he is not sure how to feel about it. it's like, one thing to be aware the world and government in general Sucks and another to have people be like. really genuinely no that is VERY bad and WRONG. ]
Well, you're not wrong. But not all worlds work like that.
[ He wouldn't go as far as to call it a DYSTOPIA given Ace has made it clear nothing is stopping him from pursuing his freedom but the rampant crime is a bit dark for Ryuki. ]
Even if certain things just work differently in other places, I just can't condone it. I just hope you won't stoop to it either.
[ don't worry ryuki the crime is the least dystopian thing about that place. ace kind of makes a face ]
I don't torture people, I just can't be too surprised a guy who calls himself a demon finds it normal to threaten with it. [ he shrugs ] I wasn't saying you were weird for not liking that either, though.
[ Real just 'clutches pearls' moment. What would he have done if Ace was like yeah I waterboard people for my own entertainment... really there is nothing he can actually do. ]
You're really worried about it, huh. [ ... ] No one would let him torture someone. Pretty sure the majority doesn't actually want us to start doing that stuff, and he might talk big, but he seems like the type to be wrangled easy.
We're already dealing with enough as it is without people adding unnecessary tension to the atmosphere, I think. Is all.
Actively vouching for things like torture and stuff isn't going to make you very popular. If we're ever in a tough situation, like those... forced votes... I just don't want people to make rash decisions based off of things.
...Yeah. I'm pretty sure they'd have executed anyone who's name we gave on Saturday. And since they're clearly hoping for the same thing to happen again...
[ K*ll me I'm embarrassed every single time I mix up tag weeks / dates, I do it like once a game. I genuinely thought I had gotten a Saturday thread out of you anyway. NEW WEEK NEW ME...? ]
