Choosing to accept your own fate seems unreasonable, even owing him your life.

Perhaps with a side of butter, as this seems to be the preferred human method of consuming gastropods?

Well, if ye had to give real kisses to everyone, that would be one thing, aye? But what if ye could get away with...oh, kisses on the cheek with the strangers. Would that change anything?

[visserbasher.livejournal.com]

At least I'm alive. But even if I weren't, I'd still do it. If I have to explain it to you, you'll never understand.

No.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Never two of us the same.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

It might. Depends on whether I feel like makin' Billy blush or not.

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

Merely a curiosity. There are people I would be willing to die for, and I am attempting to understand what makes humans make these choices.

No?

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

I think that is the most truthful statement I have ever heard a human make.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Part of my job to be as truthful as I possibly can.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Obviously Kaylee needs to plan to make the next one longer.]

I'm not sure 'kick' would be the word ye would be wanting...

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

That must be a very interesting job, if it requires honesty. Do you ever desire the ability to lie?

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

Rachel, that's not one of your choices. Play by the rules

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, well, with ye on board, I'd say things would not break down, at least.

Mind ye, the TARDIS still has a mind of its own. Who knows where we might wind up?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can lie just fine, but the truth is better for everybody.

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

I can't help but agree with that, it's honestly often times twice as effective as whatever lie you can create, as well.

[visserbasher.livejournal.com]

It's called love.

And no. I'm not going to make jokes about it.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

She break down a lot?

Sounds like there'd be all kinds of places to see...people to meet...

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

And you don't get in any trouble for it later, neither.

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

Love? Love is being willing to die for someone? Where does the dividing line lay, then, between friendship and being willing to die?

I thought you humans enjoyed making jokes out of serious situations.

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

This is also beneficial and true. If one simply tells the truth, no one can accuse them of attempting to mislead.

[visserbasher.livejournal.com]

I think it's love. I'd risk my life for someone I don't know very well and even though I don't know them doesn't mean I'm not acting out of love. Maybe respect for life. Love is complicated, and not always romantic.

Not this one.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Don't know why more people ain't figured that one out yet.

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

But why risk your life for someone you don't know? It defies logic, you don't know them. Your life is more valuable to the people you care about, isn't it? And those who care about you. I understand this romantic love you humans seem so fond of, and this strange bond shared between siblings, at least to a limit. But what other sort are you speaking of?


Ah, I see. Even if referring to the other you want to see punished.

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

Even though you, yourself, may end up causing more damage in the long run than someone else you could help restrain.

[echoofaperson.livejournal.com]

Because most humans would prefer to conceal and hide to avoid trouble, which of course ends up causing more trouble.

[visserbasher.livejournal.com]

But their life is valuable to the people they care about. There's romantic love, there's love for a family member, there's love for a friend, and then there's love for someone you don't know. I'm not really the expert on the last one. That's more my preacher's specialty- and I don't think even he gets it.

I just can't joke about something that happened- would have happened to Elfangor, O.K.? I keep picturing it.
