[ help me well i rolled at a disadvantage because he is one, still injured, and two, very tired from today, so the two that he rolled means that brimstone can just beat the shit out of him if he wants
[ pretend i said biscuit-brained buffoon in the last tag, i only came up with that one in the shower and couldn't edit it in smh ]
Of course I won't! You have the gall to try and put a life jacket on me at every turn, and then try to throw yourself overboard into shark-infested waters?! [ punches him again in fury ]
No, that isn't what that means. What it means is that if he could be redeemed here, my home would be far more safe.
You don't understand. You are only responsible for yourself. [ he doesn't say this like an insult or anything, just a statement. ] I don't think he's above reproach.
Your "home." [ scoffs, again. ] If you had your way, it would basically stop existing, as far as you know. You'd never be able to see it again. Anything he might do for a place that no longer exists means nothing anyway!

You won't like any explanation I give you.

You don't get to be a hypocrite like that!
no subject
he takes that punch - he's probably bleeding, at this point. ]
... His redemption is far more important than mine. You don't need to agree with me.
no subject
can't wait for him to be executioner like this ]
Sure. You're trying to keep every dirtbag here from tearing themselves and each other apart, but the murderer is the one who deserves redemption more.
no subject
He -- [ jiaoqiu starts. and then breathes in. and out. ] No. He is a murderer. But that's precisely why he could use the redemption.
It isn't about him, so much as it is what he represents.
no subject
Oh yeah? And what does he represent, exactly?
no subject
He is responsible for thousands.
no subject
I don't care. He killed Charlie. The least he can do is pay the price for it.
no subject
You don't understand. You are only responsible for yourself. [ he doesn't say this like an insult or anything, just a statement. ] I don't think he's above reproach.
But the world is not so black and white.

Stop being stupid.
no subject
he doesn't say anything else about the rest because it's immovable object versus unstoppable force. just stares at brimstone ]
If you punch me again I'm going to bite you.
no subject
[ but yeah he doesn't punch. he also doesn't get off of jiaoqiu. ]
no subject
[ argues because he can't help himself, but also: ]
Were you planning on staying there forever?

[ so. i guess he's just going to. ease off. and watch jiaoqiu so carefully. ]
