[backinaflash]

Huh? 'Cause they attacked us. And we need to eat more than just vegetables.

[canihelpyou]

But isn't killing bad? Even if they attacked you, isn't there a better way? I don't understand...

[backinaflash]

...Sometimes you just have to kill things. Whether or not it's the best choice.

[canihelpyou]

Oh...

[backinaflash]

Aaaaanyway, that's why we're all here, right? To clear out this place.

[canihelpyou]

I-I know, we're supposed to get rid of all the nature that's overgrown this world. And humans need to e-eat... [I still can't believe people eat living creatures what even]

[backinaflash]

I mean, the plants are alive too, and I'm noooot entirely convinced some of them aren't sentient. So it's kinda the same.

[canihelpyou]

Th-The plants are alive too? [HORRIFIED]

[backinaflash]

Yeah, of course they are. They grow and reproduce and spread. And those potatoes even run away.

[canihelpyou]

[oh god

i thought they just did that

i've been killing living things

BSOD]

[backinaflash]

. . . Muppet? You okay dude?

[canihelpyou]

[If you are looking carefully there is some weird black stuff pooling in his tears, it looks kind of like smoke and fur and EVIL.]

I-I didn't know they were alive, I... I thought they just moved like that, th-they...

[backinaflash]

[CRAP WHY ARE YOU CRYING. WHY DID I MAKE YOU CRY!]

I-It's okay! We would all starve if we didn't kill them, and that's not any better, right?

[canihelpyou]

It's not... I-It's not... I know humans need to eat a-and you can't live in these plants, a-and the animals, but living things... L-Living things are...

[anopenbook]

[...what's going on here oh god he's crying]

Hey. Hey, Muppet. Real quick.

Tell me--what do you know about teeth?

[canihelpyou]

[What's happening now]

T-Teeth?

[anopenbook]

Yep.

Some animals have pointy ones, some have flat ones.

Humans have both.

You can tell what you need to eat by the kind of teeth you have.

Plants usually don't have teeth, of course. But know what they do need to live?

[canihelpyou]

Wh-What?

[anopenbook]

When people and animals die, their bodies decompose into the ground. And the plants need that to keep living, they get the nutrients they need to live from that.

So it sucks. That things need to die. But if nothing died, nothing could live either.

We need to eat plants and animals to live. And eventually we need to die so they can live.

[best_ended]

[well, gosh. I will just be standing by here]

That's not exactly the way you should handle this.

[backinaflash]

Dude! I don't know what I did!

[best_ended]

He's a mannequin who "lived" in a carnival and knows little about the world around him. And you just told him he's been killing living organisms.

[JUDGING. except not. this is hilarious]

[backinaflash]

How was I supposed to know that!

[best_ended]

Just talking with him would show the "knows little about the world" part. But telling him the plants may be sentient?

Are you trying to make him feel like a murderer?

[. . . rofl rofl. inner rofl the whole while]

[backinaflash]

I was kidding!
