This might be a very personal question to ask like this, so nobody needs to feel like they have to answer but...

I was wondering if anyone's ever had a power that they've been uncomfortable with? How did you get over it? Do you think powers that do 'bad' things can be good?

Just curious! And also not related to that but I'd like to make some care packages for those islands in need. Any suggests for good food for them?

As many others have said, abilities are not good or bad. What you do with them is what matters.

Care packages: salted meat, dried fruits and pickled vegetables. Nonperishable items are best. Plenty of fresh water.

[obliviscere]

I guess then maybe it's a matter of deciding if what you're doing is good or not.

Oh thank you! Those sound like great things. I hope that doesn't mean you have a lot of experience with care packages.

[spitefulcrow]

Yes, we all must act according to our consciences.

[ Davrin might joke that he doesn't have a conscience, but that's just how Davrin is. ]

I've recently spent time assisting two cities in the wake of horrific dragon attacks. Many were without easy access to food and water. It is the same basic principle.

[obliviscere]

So you think determining if what you're doing is good or bad comes down to a personal thing?


I'm so sorry!

[spitefulcrow]

Of course. What one person considers unconscionable, another sees as necessary.

There is no need to apologize. My city, Treviso, was spared the worst of it. Another, Minrathous, was dealt a much harder blow. I have been doing what I can for both.

[obliviscere]

You don't think there are some things that are just absolutely right or wrong?

I've heard of Minrathous. Do you know Neve?

[spitefulcrow]

There are plenty of things that I believe to be right or wrong. But not everyone would agree with me on most of them.

Yes, Neve is a friend, from my world. I am Lucanis Dellamorte. Any friend of hers is a friend of mine.

[ He supposes that's what she is, anyway. He's not used to having friends. ]

[obliviscere]

Like what?

It's very nice to meet you! I'm Naminé. Neve's been a wonderful friend tome here.

[spitefulcrow]

She is a good friend, yes.

You could really take your pick - for instance, I believe that slavery is wrong, and yet there are people in my world who practice it, and believe they have every right to.

[obliviscere]

They would be wrong. Nobody has the right to own anyone else. Regardless of what they are.
