Good vs. Evil

[Joss]

73 Probably. But I don't flip my principles just because the outlook looks bleak, so on I fight.

[SomethingDire]

74 Principles, huh? It is admirable, I must admit, to see others stand their ground even in the smallest of fights.. But the only principle I have is to play for the winning side.

[Joss]

73 So you don't value holding to a contract with monetary compensation above that?

[SomethingDire]

74 Now now, money is an important tool. It decides which side is winning, therefore I can make an exception for that.

[Joss]

73 But let us say, hypothetically, that you had been paid to support a certain side for a certain amount of time, but it became apparent far before that point that "your" side was not going to win in any circumstances... would you breach contract and flip or would you see the contract to its end?

[SomethingDire]

74 Hmm.. If I was guaranteed that I would get my money even if we lost, then the chances of me seeing it to the end might just be equal to me flipping over to the winning side.

 

But in the end of it all, it depends. I might just like the people who are losing better than the people who are winning and decide to join their cause. I might not want to be on either side and just be neutral. If someone does win me over, somehow, I might not even care about the money and stay at their side for a long time, even.

 

All in all, I am unstable.. And a gold-digger.

[Joss]

73 Chaotic in pretty much every definition of the word, then. Huh.

[SomethingDire]

74 Exactly. It does have its cons, but it makes for a fun ride, especially when one has nothing else but their own desires driving them. Fortunately, that hasn't affected tulpamancing, since the whole practice is desirable.

 

Morals, though? I'll openly admit that I do lean over to the darker side, but not completely. Never enjoyed being a winged angel. Never enjoyed being a horned devil. Mixing them up works, though.

 

What about you, Joss? Doesn't staying at one place and one place only get boring?

[Joss]

73 Quite the opposite. I take pride in the fact that there are certain things about me that do not change, no matter how circumstances may try to make them. If I may be overdramatic... my principles are something I can stand on when everything else falls apart around me.

 

And one of those principles happens to bid me continue bringing this number down, less for the sake of being "Evil" for its own sake, but more as a symbolic act of defiance against people who don't exist outside my host's head.

 

But that's probably a deeper discussion than this game really merits.

[SomethingDire]

74 Well, it might be weird for me to say this, considering we're pretty much the exact opposites of each other on the lawful and chaotic thing, but I think I understand you. The "overdramatic" part, I mean.

 

I take pride in being free of nearly all limitations and of the potential repercussions that trait might bring, just like you take pride in your principles. I just don't like anything that I have to change myself to fit in to, morally/mentally and physically even. I don't wear anything that makes me feel constricted if I don't have to. Like those choker necklaces and stuff. It's that bad.

 

About the taking side part.. Well. I'll admit that I am only bringing them up, because I do not want to see it fall down to zero and then just repeat the cycle again. If it's going down, then it might as well go down with a fight, 'cause where's the fun in it otherwise?

 

Besides, the allure of it all would be gone, too. Easy is never worth a lot, after all.
