Tell confessa-a-bear

[terribly2shy.livejournal.com]

Here's how we do it.

1. Make a post for each character confessing something. It could be ceiling-cat, inner angst, a secret love, or hey, maybe you just want to list all the things that the character feels are so pent up inside him just bursting to get out. Weight of the world on his shoulders?
2. People reply to those posts with reactions to the confessions. It can be "what were you smoking when you did that" or "uhwhat?" or even "nice job, buddy!"
3. Forced honesty, uh-yep.
4. Bonus! Make as many confessions as you'd like!
5. Profit!

I'm responsible for the deaths of several thousand people.

Join the club, friend.

[notlewis]

I don't see it as a point of pride.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

If it must be done, you may as well enjoy it.

[notlewis]

I can't think of any circumstance where it "must" be done, mine included.

Then admit and accept that you are evil. It makes it so much easier to act.

Believe in yourself and your own convictions. You had your reasons did you not?

[notlewis]

My actions were evil, but my intentions were not. I can tell the difference.

[sanguineroyal.livejournal.com]

Intentions mean a lot, though I have a hard time believing that you could kill thousands without having at least somewhat tainted intentions. I wish to make my world a more enjoyable place to live for all, and yet I am still deemed evil by an entire country, and a good deal of my own. Of course, that would make my intentions good, but by killing I knew I would cause pain, and intended on it. By accepting this, I was even able to enjoy it.

There is no hope for the soul, so we may as well enjoy our corruption.

[notlewis]

If I am evil, I will not accept it and will certainly not enjoy it.

My purpose here is to benefit good.

If it is easier for you to keep lying to yourself then that is your choice.

[drowpaladin.livejournal.com]

On purpose? [Cue the wide-eyed, surprised look]

[notlewis]

No. Indirectly. Though I knew better, and I have no excuse.

[drowpaladin.livejournal.com]

You feel bad about it, though, that is clear enough.

Would you do it again? If you would, is there a reason?

[notlewis]

If I could do it all again, I would have realized what I was doing and I might have been able to stop it.

[drowpaladin.livejournal.com]

"Hindsight is always 20/20" is the popular saying, yes?

Maybe this is your chance to right that? Being on the ship now?

You don't seem like a bad person, sir.

[notlewis]

I truly believe that's the only reason I'm here, and I might not deserve it at all.

But thanks.

[greennotgold]

How come?

[notlewis]

Because I was prideful and stupid. It wasn't something I did intentionally. But I should have known better.

[greennotgold]

[That sounds so familiar.] Did you stop doing it?

[notlewis]

I turned my attention to stopping it.

[greennotgold]

That's good. That's what matters.
