[gm card room - rose]

[You find yourselves seated around a table in the middle of a small room. You can’t really perceive any walls, just heavy black velvet curtains on all sides. If you push them aside looking for a way out, you just keep finding more curtains behind them.

There is a crystal ball in the middle of the table and a spread of six large cards arranged around it, currently facedown. Their backs are a plain matte black.

You are aware that powers are all off for card rounds but will be on for the punishment round. You have whatever items are normally on your person.]

Yep.

The part that annoys me is when people act like they're not doin' that. That they're somehow makin' righteous choices while everyone else is bein' selfish, when everyone's all doin' the same thing.

Do you think there's really such thing as "justice", or "right and wrong"? Or are those just the reasons people give for doing the things they wanted to do anyway?

Those are just the reasons people give for doin' the things they want to... or for cowardly goin' along with the status quo and not havin' to stand on their own decisions.

Rituals like this really make it obvious, don't they. This is how it's like where I'm from, too.

I think there's a kind of honesty in not pretending your actions are justified or fair, or that you care about the people you're hurting. To not pretend that there's such a thing as "good" or "bad" people. We're all just doing what we're gonna do anyway, huh.

Heh. Yeah.

I'm a "bad" person, but at least I'm honest about it.

Apparently I'm an "unhinged" one, so I can't judge.

Thank you. Someone gets it.

If you're going to hurt someone, then do it with intent instead of justifying it in ways that try to make you look innocent. I'd accept that better than acting righteous.

Exactly. Someone hidin' behind justifications like that is just a hypocrite and a coward.
