I'm genuinely kinda curious what that dream looked like. Were you the one rolling, were you reading a different Bitterman's update, or was it animated like you were in the world?

I'm gonna be honest, if there was a way for us to have Black Swan nuke this guy right now without consequences, most of us probably would've vote for it. I have less sympathy for them than I have for Monarch, hell, than I had for her when we didn't know she took over Wonderland to help her daughter and she was just injustly imprisoned in the worst place in the world just cause nowhere else could hold her.

Yeah, I mean, you gotta remember her initial plan (which she would have pulled off if we hadn't helped New Dawn) was to flood an entire district of the city with Goldnine.

I don't care how "uwu my adowptuwed dawghter" you are, once you dedicate yourself to massacring thousands of people in the most painful way possible, I sorta don't care about your justifications.

You're not wrong. The usual human issues of "one is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic", "the disasters we worked tirelessly to prevent are dismissed regardless of how bad they would have been if we hadn't worked like hell to get there", and "what have you done to / for me lately" are all in play here and because they are recurrent human issues they're hard to beat unless they're flagged and accounted for.

The only thing I can say in their defense is this: thoughts and intentions that do not yet cause harm are not offenses on the same level as actions which have caused harm and the clear and present danger posed by those agents of harm who have provided no assurances they will not cause harm again when they see fit.

...I wasn't saying that Monarch isn't a bad person?? Honestly I thought that was implied by using her as a comparison like this in the first place. I was saying that no matter how you slice it, I'm always going to have more sympathy for the person who got thrown into prison with a bunch of murderers for being a minor thief and is actively attempting to keep a little girl alive and happy than a sleazy corpo fuck who keeps directly attacking one of the few pillars of stability left after "God" woke up and tried to kill everyone.

This. Sympathy is not approval. Neither is liking an entertaining fictional character. Let's not get carried away.

...On another note, does anyone know whether Scarlet Maturity can use regular pens without destroying them? I need his signature to complete my Powers collection of autograph.

Had you not done New Dawn's mission, Monarch would have launched an attack by linking goldnine-contaminated space in the QZ with the Zenith. A river of goldnine would have poured into the Uni District and part of the R-Train would have followed. The Uni District would have turned into a mini-QZ patrolled by mechs and drones from the R-Train, no one in or out. The people there would have been trapped and the Wonderland villains would be able to do as they pleased.

Two of the five remaining New Dawn members would have died, but Arc would awaken and use the last of her power before dying to repulse the goldmine from the Zenith. The longer you took to see if anyone from New Dawn was still alive, the more of them would have died and the more DNA samples would have been lost.

Of course, you would need the R-Train's permission to get in.

Scarlet Maturity definetly needs giant novelty size pens even if he has enough control that they dont need to be reinforced. I'm guessing he does have enough control

SM: "Well you know what they say about a guy who uses big pens..."
Mona: "He has large hands and difficulty with using normal sized ones because he's a big meany who got bigger by eating people."

I was reading the update and saw the formatted roll. Then I woke myself up by reminding myself that I was dreaming and it wasn't real.

Well, that's bad news for him, because we're gonna beat him with the power of friendship. And fumbling frenbiansemies? Look, there's no good way I can see to portmanteau what's going on between Mona and Ellie. I tried. For longer than I'd like to admit.

Scarlet Maturity feels like the sort of guy that probably rooted for Vegeta as a child and always got a bit disappointed whenever he jobbed.

I have faith in Chihiro pouncing on VG specifically calling out Seraph for messing with Black Swan's mind.
