How does it work then? People should be allowed to feel what they want without having another being forcing them to have emotions they don't want.

THAT'S A SILLY THING TO SAY WHEN THE ONLY POINT OF YOU BEING HERE IS TO PROVIDE US WITH POWER FROM YOUR EMOTIONS!

[manofmettle]

[WOW. Savage much, Love.] Are you stating that as a reluctantly accepted truth of our presence here? Or do you genuinely believe that you and the rest of your kind have the right to force certain emotions out of us in order to provide you power?

[lastreturned]

I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO, BUT WE HAVE TO. FOR OUR SAKE AND YOURS!

[manofmettle]

For the record, and to be perfectly clear about this, you and the rest of your kind don't have that right. No one does. Do you understand?

What do you mean, "for our sake and yours"?

[lastreturned]

IF WE DIDN'T, EVERYONE WOULD BE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE! ALSO, I WOULD STILL BE DEAD! I DON'T LIKE THAT IDEA AT ALL!

[manofmettle]

What kind of trouble? From whom? Could you be more specific?

[lastreturned]

UMMM

WELL, IF HOPE WERE DEAD YOU'D ALL DIE. AND STUFF LIKE THAT!

[manofmettle]

I see.

[...in fact, he's more like WHAT at the moment. But since there are people that would like to see the gods dead and all, Danse sets a Private filter on his next message.]

Hope is in danger of death?

HE SAID SOME OF YOU GUYS WANT TO KILL HIM! AND THE REST OF US!

I know someone tried to kill him awhile ago. Is he, or any of you, in immediate danger?

[As much as he'd rather Sorrow, Confusion, Fear and Rage go somewhere far far away and never come back, he's convinced that the only way they're going home is through that Door. For that, they're going to need cooperation, not condemnation.]

HARD TO SAY! I THINK WE'RE OKAY, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.

Alright. Please keep us informed if the situation warrants attention. As much as I find your interference in my emotions a direct violation of privacy and free will, I don't want you dead either.

I know that there has been unnecessary violence threatened to you and your friends. But if you make a count on this post, 14 people out of the 25 who responded had a favorable opinion of you. 5 of them were directly hostile, while the remaining 6 exhibit a more neutral opinion.

Contrary to the heated argument on this post, I don't think it'd be a stretch to assume that at least a decent majority of the people in the city are currently in favor of your continued existence. So long as you don't directly or indirectly cause any physical, mental or emotional hurt to us, I believe we can find a way to compromise and co-exist with each other.

I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT WE ALL DO BETTER WITH EACH OTHER AROUND! NOT A BIG FAN OF THE ANGRY PEOPLE, BUT THEY CAN'T REALLY TELL ME WHAT TO DO, SO IT'S OKAY! :)

[manofmettle]

You do realise that this kind of flippant attitude only enrages them further? Did you treat the previous citizens of Hadriel in a similar way?

THE PREVIOUS CITIZENS WORKED WITH US! WE HELPED EACH OTHER! THEY WERE GREAT!
