You realize that now one of these islands is going to make you do something evil, and I'm going to hold you to that.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh come on, people aren't morally responsible for things the islands make them do. That's basic.

[counterblows]

Tell that to literally everyone's collective guilty conscience.

[eudaimonikos]

Sure
I'm not saying I wouldn't feel guilty
But I wouldn't go around telling other people to blame themselves

[counterblows]

You don't need to. People do enough of that on their own.

[eudaimonikos]

And you do, too?

[counterblows]

That depends on the context.

[eudaimonikos]

You mean if it happens to me?

I'm doing my best, okay? I'm a being with free will just like any human, and I am entirely capable of not being evil when that free will isn't being infringed upon!

[He'd love to call this whole thing really racist, and it might still be, but he can't go around telling people that demons are fine, actually. That's dangerous advice! So he has nowhere to put the sort of weird bad way this makes him feel.]

[counterblows]

No one's made a point of calling you evil, so I can believe that. But I'm not the type of person you'd have to convince.

[eudaimonikos]

So what's with this whole thing?

[You sure jumped on the word "demon" fast. Michael wonders if he knows about Ardyn. Well, it's not his business to go around gossiping about the guy.]

[Wash knows enough about Ardyn to knows that he doesn't want to deal with Ardyn when he's in a bad mood, because Wash was definitely reduced to meat jelly a couple times back on Maati because of some poorly timed conflicts.]

Like I said. Just making conversation.
