It doesn't mean nothing. I did say I found it unpleasant. But no, I don't hold it somehow above the other ways in which I was used as a thing.

Why should I? Because it was sex? Sex doesn't mean anything much to me. It was something useful that I'm good at. It doesn't have any deeper meaning to me.

[Not yet, anyhow. She's aware that it's a matter of her experiences, and simply not engaging in sex for pleasure or intimacy. But she doubts Scar wants to hear that.]

That is so fundamentally wrong I do not even know what to say to it.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

That's all I've known. I was only ever taught what I needed to know, how I needed to know it.

[This is what she was talking about when she said she didn't want to discuss the morality.]

This is why this life here is so important to me.

Just because it's all you have been forced to believe doesn't make it okay.

The way I heard it, she kept a choke hold on all of you, forced you to believe it was your only option. She selectively taught you and... blotted out what she didn't like.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Yes. And that's awful. I don't think it's alright, it's just what it is.

But it's over. I have a chance for my own life now. I can learn things for myself. Nothing can ever change the past, there's no sense in wallowing in self pity or playing a victim over it. What I think and believe now isn't etched in stone. That's why I want to experience new things and meet new people and try things I've never been able to before.

Fine. Just don't waste it making decisions you're going to regret.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

I'll never know if I'll regret something until after it's done.

But it's kind of you to worry.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

Some things are easily predicted.

[LIKE GOING OUT IN A HURRICANE]

I'm just making sure Greed doesn't end up in the ocean.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

It's his own damn fault if he does.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

...not at the moment.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

Why not? He's out there of his own free will. I've seen you swim, you sure as hell can't save him.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Because at the moment he's out there getting me a Pokemon because I don't want to go fully outside.

That wouldn't stop me from trying.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

Don't be a fool, they have people for that, do they not?

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Scar, it's highly unlikely anything close to this scenario will happen.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

You can't say that unless you've been battered around in those winds for yourself.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Well Greed has been and he's fine.

It's called hyperbole, Scar. The most I'm expecting to possibly happen is an accidental shark bashing.

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

Yes, and that is what cracked me in the head!

[...Whoops.]

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

...Scar.

Are you saying that you were outside in the storm?

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

[Time to lie.]

I couldn't make it back in time before it started.

[So. Yes.]

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Is that so?

[She doesn't believe you entirely.]

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

Of course it's so.

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Hmm.

Are you alright? You've seen a nurse?

voice

[envy_the_sinners]

I have, it's just a concussion.

You've done worse.

[That's actually meant non-seriously, but it's Scar, so... he could also just as easily be serious.]

voice

[a_sin_for_him]

Fair point.

Did you take anything for the pain?
