Gen CR Hospital

WHO: Rialynn Kollmann, Ruby Rose, Ellana Lavellan, Tear Grants, Albel
WHAT: Wedge assigns several Heroes to keep an eye on the comatose Darth 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.

There was the pirate job. Perhaps not quite the thing that Rialynn wanted, but it was close. And the sky pirate advanced job certainly had the style too it. It was one that had done Mary quite well. In fact she was frequently torn between whether being a Pirate or an Assassin would do her best from month to month.

"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."

Just because she could didn't mean she would. As she'd scolded an old friend the Creed demanded that she be wise. The freedom to act came with the implicit responsibility of the consequences. She took a few more clear steps away from the bed, but the exhausted noise that Rialynn made pulled her focus to the other woman.

"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?"

In a sense Rialynn's lack of an answer was just as valid as being able to interpret it. It said a lot about how she viewed the world and the institutions established in it. A light smirk settled on Mary's face. She felt a little envious that it was the sort of thing that the bard may not have had cause to consider before now.

"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."

Mary nodded, smiling softly, "Take all the time you need. For our habit of getting into a crisis every month there's still time to stop and take a breath. In the end the decisions you make are yours, and you're the one who decides if they were worth it. But I'd have to say that being a Hero is less about what you do than it is why you do it and who you do it for."

She casts one last look at Palitutu and then quietly exits the room, having seen all she needs for now.
