Oh, most likely. It's a lovely trait of yours.

As for me... hm. It would depend on how they wronged me and mine, I suppose. Under most circumstances, I find that thwarting their beliefs about the world is plenty.

But the ones who really deserve it... well, the Fisalias are known for our varieties of toxic plants. Something like a mild hallucinogenic is hardly that terrible, no?

[sonicstriker]

I guess I can get behind that. Plants really are incredible.

What makes them deserve it?

[scapulet]

They truly are. Distilled down to their basest selves, several otherwise dangerous plants become wonderfully tasteful medicines.

What makes them deserve it? A... very simple question with a much more complicated answer. If you want to know where my moral compass leans, then the answer comes down to... they will have spurned something that I intend to protect. Treated others with undue cruelty; believed themselves to be above all others and forsake respect for greed; lost their minds in the whispers of chaos. The crime, and the subsequent elixir, are both quite nuanced, and a Fisalia is unafraid to bear the mask of a monster for the greater good.

Sounds like we agree on most of that. I hate doing harm, honestly, but...sometimes letting people or corporations keep going is doing more harm than stopping them. I'd rather be a monster if more people are safe.
