On being put in The Love Hotel - in chains

I do not appreciate this whatsoever, mun.

One step at a time. I never said my world was perfect, god knows we've lost a lot of ourselves in he name of "advancement." But you're not one of us, you don't get to decide we don't live up to your standards. You don't get to rule us just because you think your way is better.

That isn't freedom.

[in_the_shadows]

So you would rather constant conflict along with that alleged freedom.

[alwaysdramatic]

Conflict comes with freedom. People make their own choices. The moment you start policing the choices they can make, that isn't freedom.

Would I rather conflict? No. But it's a whole let better than the alternative. And if there are people being hurt, I'll do whatever I can to protect them.

So you do not want peace, at the cost of a little loss of control.

[alwaysdramatic]

What's the use of peace without freedom? Someone else calling all the shots doesn't sound like "a little loss of control" to me.

Do you not like to put your faith in a higher power?

[alwaysdramatic]

My higher power doesn't typically demand people kneel to him at the point of a magic sceptre.

[in_the_shadows]

That was just a little distraction. It worked perfectly. You came running in to save everybody.

[alwaysdramatic]

So, let's say your plan played out. What would you have done with the world once it was yours, I'm curious.

Why, be the firm but gracious deity who would bring everlasting peace to the world. Of course I would need some to serve me but most of you would be able to go about your usual business - within reason. I would not tolerate any trouble.
