Hm...

I have yet another question for you citizens of DDD, courtesy of your friendly, neighborhood Kaitou Kid.

On the topic of revenge. If someone destroyed your livelihood by taking away the most important thing in your life... how far would you go?

((S-sorry for the f-list spam... Kaito's been involved in way to much crack lately. It's time for a srs bzns post courtesy his alter ego))

Revenge is tempting, but it's far too consuming.

So I assume you wouldn't waste your time with vengeance at all?

[onidrinkinggame.livejournal.com]

One on one fight, no holds barred. If I win, I drag whoever it is home and they have to listen to whatever I say until I decide they've had enough.

And what if they don't agree to a one on one fight?

They will eventually, you just have to find the right way to taunt them until they do.

Of course, it's fine if they want to make it three on one too. Then I'll have three people that have to listen to whatever I say.

I see you're the type to fight out your problems~

What if someone close to you was murdered? Same answer?

[humblepoise.livejournal.com]

I would gain it back.

In my youth I harbored feelings of revenge, but I realized that would solve nothing. I now strive to create peace.

And what if it was something you couldn't gain back, like the life of a loved one?

Peace is a noble thing to strive for. If I may ask, who did you harbor feelings of revenge towards and why?

[humblepoise.livejournal.com]

Despite conflicting emotions, I wouldn't exact revenge upon that person. No amount of hate and misery would bring them back and only serve to ruin my own life in the process.

[onidrinkinggame.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't really call it fighting, but pretending like nothing happened won't change anything, so it's best to confront things head on instead of ignoring them.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional, that sort of thing happens all the time. But hey, it's still good to let those feelings out in a fight. If you win, you get to torture them a little for it, and if you lose, you forgive it. You don't really need to make things more complicated than that.

I see...

What if that person continued to pose a threat to others?

A simple, yet seemingly effective solution, Miss....?

Then I would take care of them myself to protect any other possible victims. But I would not be so vain as to attempt to do it alone, if my abilities were lacking.

[shovel-sick.livejournal.com]

I would kill them.

And I will.

[canhaswrenchpls.livejournal.com]

I'd build a new one. Then rip their legs off with it and fed them their legs.

[pandorabox]

That's completely understandable. And you're efforts to stop them wouldn't be motivated by revenge at all?

The Gears, when they killed my Father. A lot of people lost family to the Gears.

[pandorabox]

You speak from experience, then?

[humblepoise.livejournal.com]

I would take action for the sole purpose to ensure that this person does not cause others what pains he may have caused me. It would be enough for me to know that I stopped such a thing from happening again.

[pandorabox]

A violent solution...

[shovel-sick.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do.

[pandorabox]

...

You have a good moral compass, then.

Still hesitant to divulge this information to me?
