so everyone knows shit sucks right now
since i've been here i've seen a lot of talk about what we should do, but it seems like everyone has a different idea
some people want to start superhero teams and some people want to require training for everyone new who shows up
some of us want to go public, some don't, some people trust morningstar and some people think they're shady
some people are just saying "fuck it" and think we should worry about ourselves
you know, all that shit

so i guess i just wanted to crowdsource
get everyone's thoughts in one place or whatever
because it seems like fucked up shit keeps happening and since i got here, it's getting worse

this is probably going to start a whole argument about how much responsibility we even have when we've just been dragged here without a choice
or people saying no one should expect us to act as a group but
idk
here's your chance to be all opinionated
go

There's too many of us to create a cohesive idea of what we all should be doing.
We can debate around it as much as we want--in the end it's all talk.
It's action that's important.

If I can leave this world better than what it was before, then that's what I'm going to do. I don't need anyone else to agree with me.

look at you being all heroic
i agree, by the way
and look, sometimes watching the arguing is kind of fun

[variate]

It's not being heroic.
I just can't stand by when something is happening where I can help.
Even if the adults are just fighting about what should be done and not doing anything.

[evocation]

that's kind of heroic, ren
most people would just go "fuck it"

What does justice mean to you?

[evocation]

jesus
that's a deep question

[She's stalling.]

[variate]

[ she is. ]

Too deep?

[evocation]

[There's a long pause before she responds.]

no
i guess i've just never thought about an exact definition, you know?
but to me justice is everyone on a level playing field
no one getting less leeway or options because of things they can't control
whether that's, you know, money or power or magic or whatever
and the people who have those things protecting the ones who don't
no one left behind, if you want to get cheesy

[variate]

No one using their power to hurt someone else.

[ whether it's status, resources or magic. ]

Knowing what that means helps keep focus.

[evocation]

what's your focus?

[variate]

Making sure those hurt by the corrupt people of this world can find their own power.

[evocation]

wow, you said that way more eloquently than i did

[variate]

That includes the AI.

[evocation]

uh
what do you mean?

[Has Kyna ever considered liberating the AI? Absolutely not.]

[variate]

They've been hurt by this world, too. They're almost gone because people couldn't reconcile their differences, they just got scared or used them.
Bad things keep happening if cycles like that can continue.

[evocation]

yeah, sure
but how the hell are you going to sell that?

[variate]

If we want to leave this world better than how it was when we got here, they have to be included.
