Just for fun: Random questions!

[warriorscribe]

((So ask a question, or name a topic or issue, and you'll get a response from Enoch! IC, OOC, anon, whatever floats your boat. Real life hot-button issues, random questions about the ancient past, silly mundane questions, TMI questions, meta questions (about the fandom or otherwise), game-specific questions, it's all good!))

Do you truly think this is the benevolent thing to do? To take away what defines us as human?

[angelchild]

I believe it.

Tell me, why do you believe it? Why do you think humans should be stripped of their humanity?

*He's only a child...were he an adult, Enoch would have simply walked away. He would have been angry. Instead, he feels he has to rescue this child.*

Father says it's the best way.

[And he badly, badly wants a father. One who's right and who praises him and reassures him that something in his life will be stable.]

Do you know what free will is, little one? It gives our actions meaning. You can impose a certain way of life on humanity, but it will be empty, it will not be ours.

Turn us - not force us - away from paths which will harm us, and eventually we will find something which we will be proud of. And we will be proud of it, and will have grown and matured and be able to appreciate it. Our life will have meaning because we earned it. Surely, your father can appreciate growth through trials.

I'll talk to him. If I can.

[That's really the best he can do.]

[warriorscribe]

Good. And...do not forget that you have free will, too.

Thank you. You're very kind.
