[alright. so now she's feeling the effects of her Sentencing. she can barely lift her gauntlets now, and... you know what? with the way things are looking right now, she's not about to let all this get in the way of her protecting herself or the people she cares about.]

alright, who has a grudge that they need to work through? could be anyone from here, or at home.

or i guess, how do you forgive people who've fucked with you? would that even work in this case?

whatever. i'm just doing this to get my Sentencing over with. let me know so jerry sees it and i can move on with my life or however the hell this shit goes away.

[send help lmfao-]

basically, yeah. even my girlfriend got some shit for her sentencing about "what is justice". stupid.

pretty normal. some people are better at letting go than others, though.

[nightwild]

ugh
more of that
thats stupid
i got in a fight with that nurinuri guy about it

justice is doing the right thing
protecting the weak
good deeds are rewarded and evil is punished
its simple but everyone wants to pretend its so complicated

[grappler]

but what if the good and bad get blurred?

do you always do the right thing for the sake of justice?

[she knows her and Caitlyn haven't.]

[nightwild]

then you pick yourself back up and keep trying
ive done some horrible shit before
trying to for the sake of justice
and when i finally got snapped out of it
the only thing to do is to keep trying again
if you give up because you messed up then you cant fix things
even if you cant ever fix things
even if the bad you did outweighs any good you could ever do
you still gotta keep trying

[grappler]

so what you're saying is, you have to aim to undo the damage you've done by bad choices.
is that right?

[nightwild]

you cant ever undo it
but you can try to make up for it

i dont believe in the scales of justice or anything
ive seen firsthand how easy those are tipped
good and evil arent things you can just balance
but
you have to try anyway
you have to try to put more good into the world than the evil you did

[grappler]

makes sense. i was trying to do that at home... but here? still trying to figure that one out.

someone called me a coward once though, and that was a pretty big wakeup call. that's why i'm more intense about helping others, now.

[nightwild]

is it even possible here
i mean
theres some sort of computer thing controlling everything
if everything happening is controlled by someone
then the only way to do anything is from them

you dont seem like much of a coward to me

[grappler]

but people still get hurt and die here, even if it's temporary. people still need help, right? that's where we can do some good.

i was afraid of rocking the boat and possibly losing what i had here. he called me a coward for it, which is fair.

it also helps that i went back home for a little while, too. so i don't have to stay in suspense of what happens... and who i may or may not have lost.

[nightwild]

i still dont get that
if people die here
but its temporary
that doesnt seem right

you can go home
?

[grappler]

who knows. even Cait hasn't figured that one out.

not voluntarily. i went home for a while, lived almost a year there, then came back here. i didn't remember any of this while i was gone, though.

[nightwild]

well thats annoying
did it just lose track of you
?

[grappler]

who knows? apparently i'm not the only one it's happened to, so...

[nightwild]

thats weird
if that jerry guy would show his face we could just pummel answers out of him but

[grappler]

not really the kind of guy that you can just punch. he's made out of metal or some shit.

something you can't just damage so easily.

[nightwild]

ive blown up metal guys before
its a little harder but not impossible

[grappler]

I mean, you can try. just saying he's been blown up and still runs around here like nothing ever happened.
