Gen CR Hospital
WHO: Rialynn Kollmann, Ruby Rose, Ellana Lavellan, Tear Grants, Albel
WHAT: Wedge assigns several Heroes to keep an eye on the comatoseDarth Tater Palitutu to soothe the nerves of the hospital staff. Nothing eventful happens......EXCEPT FOR AMAZING CR!
WHEN: Throughout the month of September
WHERE: Aqures Ixen Hospital
Considering the runs of bad luck the hospital faced since Halloween of the previous year, it was understandable that they'd be more than a little nervous at having Palitutu safely sleeping in the intensive care unit. If the Heroes were anxious about her waking up and blowing the city to smithereens, imagine how much more fearful the non-job-wielding staff members had to be.
But despite their unease, Palitutu remained safely locked away in a coma, sustained by the IV unit hooked up to her small arm. It was almost hard to believe someone so small had posed such an enormous threat all by herself.
[OOC: Feel free to put up a thread for your character, and then tag whoever you like for guard duty CR.]

She turned to watch Kidd as she crossed the room, and much as she might have wished herself to have complete faith, she did feel a little nervous about letting someone stand that close to Palitutu while freely admitting to being an assassin.
"Do you think that's how she saw herself too?" she asked quietly. "Doing what needed to be done for the sake of the greater good?" Because it kind of sounded like she had a lot in common with this Brotherhood and its ideals.
no subject
"Perhaps, but there's a limit. Not a line, nothing so specific...But the sacrifice of a city does not balance with the world. Especially not if your goal is to keep things as they are rather than try to stop the problem all together."
After a long beat she finally turned away from the bed. "The economy of lives is not a simple one, and oftentimes more lives are lost than originally planned. It's bloody work, but my Brotherhood strives to only kill those few and specific people who are causing harm. We don't simply kill because people stand in our way."
She glanced over her shoulder at Palitutu, "I don't feel it's hypocritical to say that her way is wrong. My own hands may not be clean, but innocent blood is never a fair trade, no matter for what greater good."

She scrubbed a hand over her face that came to rest over her mouth as she exhaled her frustration in a long, muffled sigh.
"You know, this was a lot easier when I could stick to my goals of just writing down the stories of others, and not being a part of those stories myself. I don't really have a way to judge what the right choice is, or what's wrong. I just don't know enough."
no subject
"Aye, observing is easier than taking part, and even having the ability to be an observer is a liberty some don't get. But even if the choice is hard to make at least you can make one. And if you follow your heart then you can find the path that's right for you, even if it isn't clear." She debated her next words for a moment but then decided to continue anyway. She'd not been actively recruiting as much lately but there was no harm in sharing philosophy.
"My Brotherhood has a Creed, 'Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.' I know it sounds a bit odd but what would you imagine it to mean?"
no subject
Then Mary posed her question, and there was a brief panicked look on her face. Oh no! A quiz! "Erk!" she choked, freezing up. Often times she didn't like to tell people what certain allegories were contained within fables, mysteriously alluding that the answer changed for every person who listened.
In short, she didn't really know more often than not. And this creed was very enigmatic without knowing the background or context. She could take a guess, and embarrass herself. Or she could just...
"...I really don't know."
...confess her ignorance.
no subject
"That's fine. It's not an easy phrase to handle. Most simply it is a reminder that we are the masters of our own destiny. No matter what anyone tells us, our actions and decisions are our own. Not even the laws of a land can stop someone if they so choose." She paused a moment to let it sink in before she continued.
"But there are consequences as well. Legal or not. Right or wrong. All actions have consequences, and so we also become the first judges, the first to hold ourselves accountable. The Creed does not dictate how to act, but to act with wisdom. If you wish to make the change from observer to being an active player, it's something to consider."

"I'm still not sure if I should," Rialynn said quickly, pacing from where she stood to the wall, then back again. She still felt uneasy moving too far away from Palitutu as long as she was on duty, and her range was limited as if she wore invisible fetters to her feet. "I never wanted the glory, or the attention. I just want to make sure the stories are told and remembered. I can leave the Hero stuff gladly to people like you, or Ramza, or Sephiroth."
LITTLE DID SHE KNOW.
"...But I don't want to sit idly by either, and do nothing." She tipped her head back and sighed long and hard. "I need to think about it for a while longer."
no subject
She casts one last look at Palitutu and then quietly exits the room, having seen all she needs for now.
