[Lance looks a little over life at the moment, which most of his friends probably recognize as his standard look when not being purposefully professional. He's not bothering with the latter right now, both because he's a bit annoyed and because he thinks it would be pointless, so instead everyone gets normal, slightly bitchy Lance.]

Okay, I wish I could say that I can't believe I have to remind people of this, but vigilante justice is not exactly the best idea here. Not only is it morally wrong to just declare yourself to have the authority to decide who is and isn't deserving of 'justice', but it's logically wrong too; you're just going to cause problems, not solve them.

I'm not saying not to intervene when something's actively happening, but going after someone days or weeks later is just starting the whole process of retaliation all over again. So can everyone just take their egos down a notch and, if they're concerned about someone being an active threat or something, work on coming up with some sort of solution that isn't going to make things worse as soon as it's done?

[This is not the first time he's had to go into this discussion while here--or at home--and so that's why he's being extra short about it. He's also not just talking about the recent incident, it's simply what prompted him to say something this time.]

Yeah. It's totally possible I missed something more recent that happened, but since the last time someone wanted to go on a vengeance spree it was about something that had happened weeks previously I wouldn't be surprised if it was nothing recent.

I don't know, no.

christ. ur prob right.
i dont fucking get it. dumbass vigilante bs.
im glad were on the same page tho.
theres nothing we can do abt caedra longterm but im gonna talk to her when she thaws out.

[lifetothefullest]

Do you have a plan of what to talk to her about?

[ghostlocked]

partially. i have a month to figure it out.
my main goal is to avoid any attempts at mass murder.
avoiding singular murder would also be cool.
itll depend on what mood shes in when she wakes up too.
idk her well enough to predict that.

[lifetothefullest]

Avoiding murder in general is a good plan, yeah.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

[ghostlocked]

thx. will do.
actually any tips for talking her out of killing ppl?
may as well ask the expert while ur here. lol.

[lifetothefullest]

Honestly I don't know enough about her to give any really good advice, except to appeal to logic and maybe a sense of pride. If you can convince her there's no point to causing new problems, and that it would be a waste of her time to indulge everyone who wants to challenge her, she might choose to direct her attention elsewhere.

[ghostlocked]

lol. a waste of time. i like that.
thats abt where my head was at. glad were on the same page.
shes not gonna let up for the greater good so our best bet is to make fucking off seem more appealing.
like giving her something else to focus on. idk what.
id rather ask her then try to come up w. a concrete solution ahead of time.

[lifetothefullest]

Appealing to ego is a very effective strategy, I've found.

That sounds like a good idea. If she thinks it's worth her while to negotiate, it'll probably be the best opportunity and she'll hopefully be willing to cooperate.

[ghostlocked]

cool. ty.
and ty for posting this. lol. its a good reminder.
ill keep u updated ok?

[lifetothefullest]

Thanks. Be careful.
