[ their voice just sounds thoughtful, like they're more invested in considering and answering the question sincerely than having Emotions about this exchange. ] It's hard to predict because the variable is the behavior of others. But I have high hopes.

What people think of as their "nature" is something that can be overcome. People can always grow and change.

[sarkazm]

And we have to change here somehow to get out? Because I've gotta say, hitting us with the whole redemption business still sounds pointless to me.

[holyspirits]

To get out, or to stay.

You don't want to be a good person?

[sarkazm]

I don't care about being held accountable to anyone's standards but mine.

[holyspirits]

Well... It is up to you. If you don't want to reach the qualifications, you don't have to. This just also means we'll have to leave you to your own devices, wherever you end up.

[sarkazm]

I always have been, anyway?

[so it's not like being left to her own devices would be new.]

I'm fine with myself the way I am now. If that doesn't make me 'qualified' already, then God can go take a nice little stroll in a minefield for all I care.

[holyspirits]

Do you think that you're a good person? [ this is a sincere question! ]

[sarkazm]

[aww, the sincerity. gross.

wiš'adel just bursts into laughter at that, shaking her head as her tail flicks in amusement.]

Are you kidding me? No way!

[holyspirits]

But you're happy with yourself the way you are?

[sarkazm]

Is there something wrong with that? Not everyone's cut out for it, you know-- I've always known what I am.

If I'd tried to be "good", I would've been dead before I even had a name.

[holyspirits]

No. [ as in, no there's nothing wrong with that. they shrug and they are not sure why she is being so defensive. (it's because these kinds of questions usually aren't so genuine. alas.)

anyway, they think about that for a moment. ]

But that makes it sound more like it was your surroundings that stopped you from being good.

[sarkazm]

Well, if they'd been different...

[her tail flicks.]

You know, I think I just like blowing shit up too much for that to have worked out long term!

[holyspirits]

[ headtilt. ]

Does blowing things up prevent a person from being good? There are times that explosives are necessary. For renovation and landscaping.

[sarkazm]

Oookay. Let's try this again. Replace 'things' with 'people'.

[holyspirits]

Oh...

Living things should try to protect others. Why... do you like to do that?

[sarkazm]

[well. she could answer this honestly.

orrrr she could go with the old standard:]

The look in someone's eyes when they realize that they're well and truly done for, that they're about to go sky high... there's just nothing else like it.

[holyspirits]

[ ramiel tries to hear people out and consider their perspective. probably even when they really really should not.

but they are having a tough time with this one, lads. ]

That's... Not a good reason.

[sarkazm]

I didn't say it was a good one, did I? But it's good enough for me.

[sorry ramiel. SORRY.]

[holyspirits]

[ once again they are being so sincere here: ]

It's possible you would be much happier somewhere besides Heaven. [ maybe that's a relief? ] Though this might eliminate your chance of getting back to life, if that's what you wanted.

[sarkazm]

Hey, if the way I am keeps me from it, that isn't my fault.

[holyspirits]

Yes it is? [ you're in control of your own actions miss ma'am. ]

But that's okay. You don't have to fight for something that you don't want.

[sarkazm]

Oh, I don't know. I might be willing to fight either way.

[holyspirits]

In this case I mean put an effort in. Not actual combat. [ clarifying politely. ]

[sarkazm]

Heaven's got a ban on fun, doesn't it?

[holyspirits]

I wouldn't say that it's a blanket ban on violence, necessarily...? But you might need a better reason than what you've given.
