[Justice deflates even further, seeming to become smaller and smaller.]
Maybe I'm still hoping that they'll reconsider, and play more nicely than that.
[But it's clear that they don't believe that's going to be the case. Justice isn't slow enough not to realize that a god called "ruin" at least isn't going to wait around for everyone to find peace with each other.]
To be honest, it's the kind of thing beyond the scope of most people. Then again, things might be different for a god—even if, from what I've seen, you guys are pretty human-like so far.
[Something in Ray's comment seems to sincerely please Justice, even if none of it was particularly meant as a compliment so much as a general observation.]
[Justice shifts the flowers carefully to one arm, the other hand going up to his mask, which is swaddled entirely by cloth, making them look almost like a jester-themed Russian nesting doll.]
Underneath this mask, I'm just...it's the way that I look. I can't help it.
Sort of. I guess it's a bit more complicated than that.
[There's a thoughtful pause.]
I just got tired of seeing people hurt. There are really, really bad people out there...and I know that I have to do what I can to stop them, even if I can only try.

But seriously, did none of you guys think that we could use even a first aid kit?
no subject
[It sounds like a truly honest apology.]
I guess we had a lot going on when we were deciding...we should have done a better job. I really hope nobody actually does get hurt.
no subject
Well, if some gods are going to be encouraging us to murder one another...

It isn't right to harm innocent people.
no subject
So you're on the "no murder" side. [good to know.] Then, when would you consider it acceptable to harm someone? Out of curiosity.
no subject
[Everything has different perspectives.]
Self-defense? Or...to protect someone? Or I suppose, in a way, for the greater good...but I think even that has its limits.

no subject
That's not, um, bad, is it?
no subject
Though because the world isn't a better place, I wouldn't claim that it's the most practical way of thinking. No offence.
no subject
No...it's okay. I'm still learning, so I'm always open to advice on how to be more practical.

Yeah? You really think so?

You gave us a laboratory. I'm pretty sure a large portion of the people here now love you.
... You don't want to scare people, though?
no subject
No, of course not! Back home, people were frightened of me...but I just want to be friends.

Technically, you could say I'm ten years old.
no subject
I'm not surprised...
no subject
Do...do I really sound that young?
