second • [text / action in House Loki]

[ He's got a handle on what's going on. At least, as much as most new people do. Hey, and for his effort, he's starting to learn how the people speak over the network... or at the very least, how to feel people out for how they act.

So an anonymous question will pop up on the network: ]

Does justice mean anything to you?

And if you answered yes,
How far are you willing to go to see it through?

[ Action/House Loki ]

[ Yuri's taken over the living room slightly, one giant wolflike dog stretched across one of the sofas entirely. He's experimented with the television and after about an hour, he's got a movie rolling of the standard action-with-a-twist fare.

It's not a movie without food, though. There's a tray of pizza bagels (thank goodness some instructions are easy to figure out) on a coffee table.

He's practicing his telekinesis by tossing an occasional bagel to Repede by levitating it and tossing-- at least, Repede's good at catching. ]

It's a good gauge of character?

It's only... you're asking something intimate, aren't you? Shouldn't you be more forthright about your reasons? "Tell me your thoughts on justice, so I know if we'll make good friends" seems... strange.

You caught me.

I saw a lot of people asking these moral questions... while I was getting used to this place. Call it the biggest question on my mind right now, and looking for different opinions on it.

If it's the biggest question on your mind... you have something more specific to ask, don't you? It's because it relates to you somehow.

It's probably disappointing, but that's as specific as I need to hear.

How far would someone go if they knew they could right a wrong? Would they ignore it, or take it into their own hands?

Somehow, I doubt that's the sort of thing people can reply to honestly.

Then that makes hearing their answers all the more interesting, right? If you can't answer it honestly, then you can tell a lot about a person by the way they lie.

It isn't about lying, though, is it? Until you're actually confronted with that sort of situation, of course you'll say you'll do whatever it takes to uphold an ideal. You might even believe it. It's just, actually... actually, real life's a little more complicated.

... You're really thinking about this a lot.

...wasn't that the point of this?

Sorry.
Text doesn't really convey well whether I said that in a good way or a bad way.

I'm glad you are. I'm glad anyone would.

Did you get what you hoped out of this?

... half yes sounds right.

So, both 'yes' and 'no.' Sorry for your trouble.

Hey, don't apologize. I appreciate the conversation.

...who are you?

[ A short pause ]

Yuri Lowell.

Shinji. Ikari. Ikari Shinji. How do you do?

Pretty good for the time being. Getting a hold of telekinesis.

...some people would say 'just fine,' or 'good, thank you' would have been an acceptable answer too.

And some people really go into semantics.
