[Just voice this time. He thinks he's probably shown his face more than enough of late.]

For those interested in knowing, the Casino headquarters of the Hearts gang is now entirely abandoned. Anything that remains inside is for the taking of anyone who has a mind to stroll in through the front door.

[Ultimately, it did feel too easy, somehow. This is a fact which has not escaped him and he will not be letting his guard down any time soon.]

Any group or individual attempting to revive their methods will be dealt with in a similar fashion.

[A beat.]

But now... a question, for curiosity's sake. [Also because the brief excitement is over and now he's bored.]

What, in your mind, makes somebody a 'monster'?

Nonhuman, visually far from human in a way that makes them typically feared or hated by humans.

[That's what he meant, right?]

Hm... I dunno. I guess if you're a monster, you're a monster? But some people don't want to be one, so don't call them that if they say they don't.

I feel like people are people no matter what species, anyway. And people are great!

That's an interesting question. I imagine there's a lot of different outlooks on what makes someone a 'monster'. I'd say someone who murders or orders the murders of innocent people without remorse or even for pleasure.

Without naming names,
{ at least not outright } this would be the kind of person who could watch a planet getting blown up while sipping on a glass of wine, without a care that an entire population of people are being eradicated.

When you say monster...do you mean in the literal sense...or the metaphorical sense?

[Wait, Tau knows what a metaphor is????]

I ask...because have have met humans... that act far more...monstrous...than monsters of the literal definition...

But...assuming you are referring to the...metaphorical monster...then I would classify someone as a monster...if they..............act in a way...that only benefits themself...while also...harming those around them?

[She is aware that that definition includes her to an extent.]

...If that is an...accurate...definition...I will ask back......can such a monster...ever recover... from that label?

If we're talking about my own thoughts, it would be those who maliciously prey on the innocent and those who can't defend themselves.

[Does he need to say EVER with all their bullshit?]

So their hideout is abandoned...good.

...assuming your question is unrelated to their actions, then... I would consider myself as such. I became one toward the end of my lifetime.

[But what did that mean, really? ...It wasn't necessarily something she felt comfortable delving into too deeply with someone she didn't know well.

But perhaps there was a simple way to define such a thing. Maybe the turning point was when she started to enjoy killing humans.]


Not just in my appearance, but in my growing bloodlust as well.
