It is getting dark.

I think killing them is a bad idea too, but if we can just fight them off and get the heck out of the way, then we shouldn't have to, right?

That is the most intelligent tactic for humans to take when encountering the staff's 'other' side.

Of course we can't kill them! I'm not even comfortable with the idea of fighting them, to be honest.

But as long people keep dehumanizing them like that, someone's bound to get some terrible ideas...

I don't like fighting any more than you do, but if they're trying to kill somebody you can't just sit back and let them do it. If it's self defense or the defense of someone else, there's no real way around it.

I know what you mean, though. A lot of people here seem a little too trigger happy for comfort (if we even had guns, that is.)

Well...no, it's not okay to sit back while someone's in danger, I'll agree with that.

That's a good way to word it. It's probably a good thing we don't have guns, although I'm going to bet that's an unpopular opinion around here.

You misunderstand. They are not human. You cannot 'dehumanize' something that only appears to be human during the light of the day. And you are far too late; terrible ideas, as you put it, are common here. Not everyone that is held captive here are human and, even for those who are human, survival typically encompasses a loss of prior morals. Or at least the justification of occasional compromise.

So, what are you saying? That their "human form" is actually some kind of illusion?

And whether I'm too late or not, it doesn't mean I have to agree with it. Tossing your moral compass out the window at the expense of others just because it suits you is just wrong, no matter what the circumstances.

Not at all. Just because someone is not human, it does not mean they don't have the same physique as a human. I am not human and yet I appear to be so. The members of the staff can alter their form, but that is a common trait where I am from. Unfortunately, I don't believe I can explain it very well.

Your opinions are your own. I hope you have the will to hold onto your morals in the face of fear and danger. Then again, humanity has a knack at surprising me from time to time.

It's relevant if people are going to justify murder because of it!

And you're probably right. It might be a good idea to just drop the subject for now.

Very well.
