What, so they're like - trapped?

[counterfaith]

That's right. After years, perhaps, they might gain consciousness—but until then, they are but slaves to their masters, those who have converted them, and are unable to disobey. They will mindlessly destroy whatever is in their path, and kill humans to eat their flesh.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...jesus.

So you, like. Go around stopping em from doing stuff they can't stop themselves from?

[counterfaith]

That's right.

It is, of course, a difficult thing—even if they are no longer human, they were once before, and they have such shape. Even after they gain consciousness, they are still subservient to their sire, forced to kill for them and then given scraps in return—and when they have become independent, they have already killed many, many humans.

It is unfortunate—no, to say that would be understating it. It is heartbreaking. It would not be odd to condemn what you saw, just now.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, well.

Sounds like the other way's to just let em kill more people.

[counterfaith]

So you see, we couldn't allow that.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...yeah. Seems like that way's only gonna get people more hurt.

[counterfaith]

It is, however, an unpleasant subject—undoubtedly, it doesn't calm one's nerves at all. What else should we speak of?

[ the streets btw don't look super familiar but as they go along they might start to?? ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[They do - less supernatural archaic and more clean and modern, though there is definitely damage to both the streets and the buildings]

Ah - yeah.

I guess, what else do you do? Aside from, like. You know.

[counterfaith]

[ if he's noticed anything about the buildings he's not commenting on it ]

I'm studying to become a priest. Currently, I am attending seminary.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ah... yeah?

How's that going?

[counterfaith]

I have too much homework . . . !

[ sigh!! exasperated!! ]

Between school and work, I'm hardly getting any sleep—really, it would be nice to get a break once in a while. . . !

[crossmyheartandhope]

Priests get homework?

[counterfaith]

Hahaha, I'm not a priest yet, but I think so.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Like what?

[counterfaith]

They have to prepare sermon every week, and moreover, even without a teacher, they must study the holy texts.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sounds rough.

[counterfaith]

Isn't it?

[ sigh! ]

Truth be told, I'm in this profession because of my father—though, well, I can't say I don't value it as the family business.

Aah, complaining isn't graceful, though, so I'll refrain from saying more.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey, you don't gotta be graceful, dude. Just say what you think.

[counterfaith]

Hahaha—well, complaining is boring, anyway.

Is your house much farther from here?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh - no, uh. We're pretty close.

[As though in response to the reminder, the scenery shifts. It's the hotel, light spilling from the front door and into the street]

[counterfaith]

[ something about this doesn't feel very 60's to him

oh well. just kind of going along with it ]

An apartment . . . ?

[crossmyheartandhope]

More like a dorm.

You, uh. You wanna come in?

[counterfaith]

Would that be alright?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, sure. You walked me home, right?

S'the least I can do.
