on getting back into rp--

[fulltiltdiva]

I disagree.

Spite is a perfect reason to do anything.

[stephrogers]

No. It's not.

[fulltiltdiva]

Try it.

[stephrogers]

No thanks.

[fulltiltdiva]

But isn't it interesting how our common tongue conflates concepts of violence and hatred with notions of defiance and revolt into a single word? It bears consideration.

Find a sin you can admit to, Captain, and leave well enough alone.

[stephrogers]

Then you haven't learned anything from your observation of Earth or your time here. It's not just sin and spite that rule the world. There's a lot more to it, like humanity, and helping one another pull through tough times.

[experimentally]

Uh, tha- Not so much, really. Seems your player has a pretty good handle on it already.

[fulltiltdiva]

It certainly isn't a bad way to begin, grant me that much, Dr. Banner.

And true, of what attributes she does possess, in that one she knows no lack.

[experimentally]

There are better ones. A few of those.

Wh- No, that's. I wasn't saying she was spiteful just. In telling you to not. The not is a very good quality as far as all that goes.

[fulltiltdiva]

And is tonic animal rage among them?

Far be it from me to deny your better nature, doctor. Perhaps you and all others should leave mine alone.

[experimentally]

[ Ouch. See, Loki - this is why some people didn't go and talk to you in your little goldfish bowl. This right here. ] ...Not really, no.

Well, it's. I mean, I think in order to leave your better nature alone, would have to know what it was first. Or if it was.

[clutch_hitter]

Just as legit as kissing ass for attention.

Don't know why people don't get that.

[fulltiltdiva]

I like to think my methodology begets more dignity, at the very least.

[clutch_hitter]

Better to own it than pretend to be something you're not. We're all human here, right? Or, well. Whatever.

[fulltiltdiva]

Or whatever.

Neither the capacity for self-deceit nor spite are strictly limited to humanity, if smaller for it. What drives you?

[jewish]

A reason. Perfect might be reaching.

[fulltiltdiva]

I can but strive.

[jewish]

It's all anyone can do.

[fulltiltdiva]

In any case, I'll admit my exaggeration, but it's served me well.

[hearmerory]

Spite can be a great motivator, but I don't know about perfect. Contrary to popular belief, plenty of good can come out of actions motivated by spite.

I can't... think of any specific examples at the moment, but I'm sure I'm right about this.

[fulltiltdiva]

Not all of us have a bevy of options.

Spite is defiance, and change, and keeps me warm at night.

[hearmerory]

Ain't that the truth?

Ohhh, I had one of those. Called mine Ripley. Didn't travel well, though. Especially in all those exotic locales I keep getting sent to, where "exotic" actually means "lacking in electricity." Or privacy. And infested with the living dead.

[fulltiltdiva]

As much as I've had my fill of multiverse philosophy, we seem to be referring to different things.

[lokasenna]

Perhaps not perfect, but perfectly acceptable.

[fulltiltdiva]

How fitting, to have your approval.

[lokasenna]

Like minds, clearly.

A little spite is healthy; it gives you a reason to get back up when others would have you stay down.
