I noticed the comment you left on Sanna's blog, so, if I may, I'd like to address that here.
No matter what "team" you're on this sort of thing can happen. If you were a runner, you would still have to deal with the fact that you might have to kill a friend if they serve any of the Fears. To my knowledge, there is no team of hugs and non violence in this. In that sense, there is no "right team". Whatever path you choose, it won't be easy. There will be good times, and there will be times that hurt like hell and you will have to be strong to get through.
The choice is yours. I simply hope that this helps to put things in perspective
Even people without blogs seem too human if you spend time with them. So there are two ways to go about killing I think. Become unfeeling towards everyone or just shoot them from a distance. Either way you have to think of them as less than you... I would like to say that I could never kill a friend, but I know that if it was my life or theirs, I would be more inclined to chose my own. And that is the primative part of the human mind that wants to keep us alive speaking...
If you succeeded, you did what you had to. Wouldn't be better for anyone if you were a shadow, so you serve Slebdy instead. There's no shame in that.
ReplyDeleteI just killed a friend, there's plenty of shame in that.
DeleteRemember that. You did what you had to, but remember your alternatives, and remember the pain of killing. It's when you enjoy it that you need help.
DeleteThanks for the advice. It helps.
DeleteI'm glad Mr. Carter isn't here to see this. -- Jack
ReplyDeleteI'm not.

I've had some time to think on it. I'm feeling a tad better. I don't want to kill anyone else on the blogs, though. They're too... Human.
DeleteI've been training with Strider, so I've got a clearer head. I did what I had to.
You know, I'm curious. Did you kill Douchenozzle? -- Jack
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm aware of, no.
DeleteHmm, wonder what happened to him then. -- Jack

Either option sucks.
DeleteI never thought I would kill a friend. I also figured I'd die for my friends. But I guess that's not true.
Would've been a senseless sacrifice; Slendy would've just sent somebody else. At least you minimized the pain.
