Tell Me Why...

[crysteel-future.livejournal.com]

Since everything in the world begs questions, and we would all love to have answers to the "Why"s...and we can't always have those answers. However, on the meatship crack-comm, we can. I thought that this meme would be stimulating for the brain and considerability of our persons.

The game is simple:

1. Post a comment of your character accepting/not-accepting-but-making-due-with being part of the meme
2. Other characters comment on the first comment with questions. Anything goes.
3. The character being questioned answers the questions. Truthfully. You're allowed to gracefully skirt around answering a particular part.
4. Enjoy.

Humans invaded my home, dug up the earth, and now they spill stinking poison into the air with their bellows and wage war on my friends. Humans killed my mother, my grandfather, and they'd do anything to kill my brothers, and myself as well.

Because of them soldiers come, and fire is set to the trees. Because of them, the Forest Spirit died! A god, of Life and Death itself, and they killed him!.

I would rather die than let you humans live within a hundred miles of me, but I don't have that choice, and I will not back away and run from my home. You bring nothing but destruction and death.

Bu how can you think all humans want destruction and death? If that were so, worlds would have been destroyed a long time ago. You must understand that even humans are scared of the humans that destroy and desecrate nature. I should know: in my world, the worse of things happen not because of anything but humans. But I wouldn't stop calling myself human for that reason, or blame all of us for the selfishness and greedy intent of a few.

My mother was Moro, Wolf-Goddess and queen of the forest, human, so keep a civil tongue in your head or her sons, my brothers, will rip it out for you.

When I meet a human that proves to me that they don't have to control or destroy everything they meet, I'll consider being kind to them. Not before.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

I was asking a simple question, and don't you threaten me. You aren't the only one strong on this ship. How is your mother a wolf goddess anyway, if you're human?

There are plenty here, or do you think the little kids would go around destroying things?

[thewolfdaughter.livejournal.com]

I am not human.

I've seen the children of Iron Town setting fires, myself. I'm the reason the humans don't allow their children outdoors anymore.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

So you just look like one then?

Yeah, children here don't go around setting fires. They're more likely to either be sitting and studying or dealing with some strange creatures in their world.

Do you always insult people you're talking with, for no reason?

[If she could reach you, Katara, she'd spit.]

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

You're the one taking it as an insult. I'm saying it as an observation.

Lol, Katara

[thewolfdaughter.livejournal.com]

If that's how you define 'observation,' then you're as stupid as you look. Considering that you have a nose like a dog that's been hit with a shovel, I'm not surprised.

Re: Lol, Katara

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

You are WEARING a belt and you have teeth around your neck, but physically you look human. You do have things that reflect your appearance in your world, don't you?

...That doesn't even make any sense. My nose doesn't even look all that different from yours. Why are you deliberately being mean?

[thewolfdaughter.livejournal.com]

I'm doing it because I hate you, and every one of your kind. I'd kill you if I thought I could get away with it.

[Things San is not: "tactful"]

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

...You'd kill me for having a conversation, or because I'm human.

That sounds a lot like violent humans in my world that kill without provocation. How can you claim to hate "destructive violent" humans when you sound so much like them?

[thewolfdaughter.livejournal.com]

It's not 'without provocation' to kill something that invades your home. Or do you also condone burglary where you live?

The difference is that I'm not going to waste time hunting you down. If you keep your distance, I'll be just as happy to have nothing to do with you.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Why would I condone anyone invading my home? I've had it happen to me too. I'm not defending every human, I know I can't. There are a lot of them that are as destructive as you say, I should know. But I'm saying that we aren't all like that, because some of us have to try and fix things too. In my world, we just stopped a war that could have destroyed everything.

If you feel you have to do that, fine. But I won't harbor any bad feelings for you either. I just wish you'd try to get to know us better before you judge us.

Back off. She's with us. Yeah, she might sound like a fanatical Red Talon, but she's still one of ours and if she doesn't wanna talk with you, she doesn't wanna talk with you.

Re: /threadjack

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

WE are having a conversation. Why are you even getting involved? If she didn't want to talk to me, she could just not.

[playsin-traffic.livejournal.com]

She doesn't like you.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

She doesn't like what I'm saying, but she's not saying 'I won't speak to you anymore.' They're different.

And I still don't understand why you're getting involved. She's pretty good at speaking her mind.

[playsin-traffic.livejournal.com]

Because she's one of us.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Good for you?

Still a conversation between her and I.

[playsin-traffic.livejournal.com]

I'm the alpha. I'm supposed to look after and lead us.

I'm not asking you. I'm telling you.

Thank you.

[playsin-traffic.livejournal.com]

You're with us. We look out for each other.

[thewolfdaughter.livejournal.com]

I guess I am.
