[ The post comes across with a name that, really, no one will recognise. It's one word, simple: ＡＤＬＥＲ. Thank goodness for the text option so he has no need to attempt to hide his voice or face; for now his name is enough. ]

Tell me about your world. Your wars. Your powers. Tell me about the things that you fight for, what you continue to cherish even here.

Educate me.

[Aye, there's the rub]

Not great, admittedly. But we're working on it.

How.

Let's see, there's getting rid of old laws that discriminate against half-elves, putting laws in that discourages against acts like that, ousting corrupt people in power, encouraging people to learn to at least tolerate each other...

[There's a pause]

I won't lie, it's gonna take a long time. Between half-elves and humans alone, we got over four thousand years of bad blood on both sides to work past. But that doesn't mean it can't be changed.

Laws. Peace. Democracy. Do you really think that will work in the long run? Do you really think that is a solution that would work? It is not that simple.

[You ever get that feeling you really don't like where a conversation is about to go? Because Zelos is getting that right now.]

Oh, really?

Then, tell me, what do you think should be the solution?

[ p. sure that's how everyone feels about erik. ]

People should fight for their rights. For their place. Where they are meant to be - the stronger people.

[YEP. There is a definite pause. Congrats Erik, you now hold the record for fastest earned dislike from Zelos.]

The stronger people, huh? Funny. I've heard that kind of talk before. From both sides.

It always ends in slaughter, but doesn't fix a thing.

Those that die are those that deserve to die for their sins. For their murders.

[wilder]

Is that so?

Then what about the individuals not a part of the "stronger people" who don't murder? Or how about the ones who killed in self-defense? Or the ones who hold prejudices against your people, but never kill or even harm anyone?

Will you have laws to treat those people with fairness, or are they just all "sinners" in your eyes?

They will be treated with the same kindness they treat my kind. If they are 'benevolent' they will not be harmed. It is simple.

Uh huh.

[He's dealt these kind of ideals and their consequences too many times to not see the writing on that wall. It's the Desians or the Pope's faction all over again. And unlike some of his kinder friends, he lacks the patience to try to talk him down.]

Sorry, but I came to answer questions about worlds, not deal with some power-supremacist's victim complex. So if you'll excuse me-
