 How would you personally define 'humanity'?

Bloody-minded, lustful, loutish, clawing, reaching all. The nobly-born may clothe their wickedness in gold and perfume their stink, and the lowly must stand naked in their vices. All in all most pitiful. But heed me naught, dear lady, for my ill thoughts may be merely borne of my profession.

And just what would that job be?

There was once a time when I would whole heartedly agree. I find the longer I am in this state the harder it is to blindly agree with such a statement…

Soldier, madam. If I loved my brothers, my hand would stay in slaying them. I must think all us wretched souls beasts lest be fettered by a tender heart, and myself by them be slaughtered on the field.

And just what state would that be?

Are we talking about species membership or, uh, as a trait?

I suppose content is important in this case?

In this case, trait.

I see. Certainly something that hardens the shell.

More human and less... [ How does she describe what she used to be. That's always the question. ]

[rekindledtitan]

I mean, that's the more complicated option. I think it's about being able to relate to other humans. Understanding that they matter. Operating on the same logic, I guess we'd say.

Physically or spiritually? I feel as though they are very different.

you up for some time travel nonsense?

[nanoprobes]

A state of being that has to be earned and then continually chosen.

Alternatively: a real pain in the ass.

Hope.

Hope… perhaps endearingly so…
