VIDEO|CW: ZOMBIE RELATED STUFF

Alright. Alright. One of those opinion posts.

[For those that don't know Murphy, the man on the screen outright just looks likes Voltaire wet dream, complete with red skin, Satan aesthetic, black suit with a red shirt and he's got the voice of a story-telling podcaster.]

Moral Quandary Time! Where do you draw the line in killing people? Are you a 'no, never' person? A 'only in self-defense person'? A 'the world'd be better without this person' person? Maybe even a 'You killed my father, prepare to die!' type. Or, maybe? All it would take is something that'll line your pockets.

Maybe the setting counts. Somewhere like my world, where billions of undead roam hungry and the living trample each other to survive. Definitely one where even the softest heart would be hard-pressed to stay their hand. Or you go to one of those colorful, magical places where the grass looks like astroturf and there are rainbows with no clouds. But you found out all the cute, adorable fuzzy things there were slowly going to cause the extinction of five other species.

This isn't just a question about murder philosophy. Missions are tough and some just want to help and some of us are desensitized. You might need someone who can easily do what you'd struggle with. Then again, you might need someone with a little more patience so you don't snap someone's neck.

[Murphy withholds the question about whether someone would rather him get information one way or the other if it came down to a choice. He'll wait on that one 'cause he's sure the initial answer would be, 'I would rather you do neither.]

Also hello to the new people! Hiiii. Yeah. You might get mindfucked. There's a lot of that recently. I'm sure someone else with a healthy dose of PTSD can fill you in on how that went.

For some people it qualifies as all the comes after.

Sometimes it happens because someone meddled, but I wouldn't blame the person it happened to for that.

Oh, the very young can be just as stubborn as the very old. I don't think I've met her though.

[zombiemessiah]

I can confirm it's hell, so if you get the chance to finish someone off I would go for it. Not that I'm particularly angling to end but that sweet spot between going painlessly and spending eternity with a body that's done with you? Not fun.

[But that's his brutally honest take on it.]

At least I have fun with it, though. The meddlers in my universe are in various states of dead so they got their comeuppance.

[acapriciousthing]

I've seen what happens if nothing dies. It's why I'll always do my job.

[ANd people want her to. Really.]

I hope if your universe has a personified death they expressed their disappointment in the meddlers' actions accordingly.

[zombiemessiah]

Sadly if they did, they didn't tell me. And honestly I'd love to hear it, after all the hell I went through.

[Yeah there's a touch of how genuinely pissed he is there, and not just his usually casually catty air.]

I'm still the one that's gotta fix it.

[acapriciousthing]

Doesn't that just figure?

[It's never the ones who made the mess, is it]

One time hell got emptied out. THat was a mess.

[zombiemessiah]

Ew. Yeah. That is not the place you wanna end up having a jailbreak. And I saw some riots in my time.

[acapriciousthing]

It wasn't even a jailbreak. Lucifer up and quit and all the dead were suddenly my problem again.

[WHen she puts someone somewhere she generally expects them to stay put]

You know the expression.
