So.

Any a you ewer had a nemesis before? Like fated fuckin' contentiousness, always gettin' up each others' gills doin' shit just to irritate 'em, duelin' to practically the death, maybe makin' out a little, that kinda thing.

See, I'm in the market for just that particular arrangement, and while I'm personally a master of the bellicose arts and don't need any adwice or nothin', I obwiously got a wested interest in how humans go about poorly imitatin' the quadrant. What with my bein' the main troll-human confidante in these parts and such.

[he pronounces it "con-fee-dawn-tay". also he means intermediary.]

Despite most of you bein' from a society bearin' a sewerely inferior romance system and therefore gettin' your emotions all scrambled up wrong from the get-go 'cos of it, I'd appreciate hearin' some personal tales.

Well they aren't! Ever living thing has the right to live!

[caprihorn]

[Pausing.]

_{You sure about that?} You and Karkat say that shit, but there ain't a lot of proof for that.

_{If every motherfucker's got that then why do things all got to eat each other to live?}

[dogwitch]

That doesn't pertain to people. People don't feed off other people so there's no right in killing them!

The animal kingdom is a little different...

[caprihorn]

How do you all think that? _{What you think us motherfuckers not raised by people should have been eating our lusii or some shit?}

Don't think they didn't need to eat other trolls?

_{Maybe you humans don't need fuckers that you don't call people,} but that ain't how it works for all of us. _{And I don't think most brothers and sisters wanted to get on taking away food from their birthraiser} or get on forcing to eat something else like it wouldn't kill nobody in the end anyway.

[dogwitch]

Look, I'm only saying it's not right for higher minded individuals like humans or Trolls or anything else to be killing their own kind or those similar to them. We don't eat them. It's only done out emotion or some sick need to see blood.

It's different for most animals because they starve otherwise. Although I'm not saying that some other animals don't kill for fun, because some do. And I still find that wrong.


[There's a long pause before she adds:] ...I suppose I can understand the need to feed your lusus. I had to take care of Bec like he took care of me. But still, killing for no reason is just plain wrong. Vengeance or otherwise is not a valid reason.

[caprihorn]

_{You ain't saying why that's all wrong though, sister.} I ain't seeing that shit.

_{Still ain't killing things because that'd make someone I all like unhappy,} but without that there isn't a good reason you got to putting in front of myself. _{You're all just saying it's wrong and aren't putting beams to support itself} just all letting it hang in the air there like the motherfucking thing isn't gonna fall and smash shit in.

_{None of you all explain this shit to myself.} You just act like it's up and given and it ain't. _{Revenging a death all worked just fine back up in home anyway.} Made the first killer all stop for sure.

[dogwitch]

Because it just isn't right! We're beings given a moral compass to do right and wrong. And taking another life is just wrong. It's taking away their future and hurting others that might care about that person!

I know this place has different rules so maybe taking away their future isn't an issue here but it still hurts them. There's a trauma that goes along with dying that doesn't just go away!

[caprihorn]

_{You might get to having a point about them dying hurting others} [TAVROS' DEATH HURT MAN] but why does every motherfucker deserve to be alright after they up and hurt you?

[Not even touching the future part because he gets the feeling that saying not everyone has a future or should have one is something he's talked about with the previous Jade and that didn't end well.]

[dogwitch]

Because if you do what's to stop them from coming after you? Or for the one's that care for them to come after you? It doesn't end until there's no one left standing and what's the point in that?

[caprihorn]

_{Keeps them from all killing who I care about if i do it quick enough.}

[Yep, he's still a brick wall on this topic.]

[dogwitch]

[She sighs because she realizes this is just going to go in circles.]

I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree on this subject.

[caprihorn]

Alright, fucking easy enough to all do, sister. _{Honk honk.}
