[ritualization]

... I had hoped that might refer to something entirely separate.

[like, maybe someone breaking rules badly enough to make that happen, something along those lines.]

There is no reason to go to such lengths for the sake of this contest.

[selfimmolates]

[he continues delving into plants.]

Even if it could grant you any wish you desire?

[ritualization]

I do not believe anything justifies taking a life, regardless of whether it will be reversed or not.

[selfimmolates]

... Aren't you a soldier?

[ritualization]

... I am.

[he knows. ishi exhales a slow breath there, plucking one more plant.]

But killing is killing, regardless of the reason. No desire makes it acceptable, just as no cause makes the loss of life any less sorrowful.

[selfimmolates]

[ray can't entirely empathize because he sucks, but. huh.]

Then, what would you do if your god tasked you with killing someone?

[ritualization]

I cannot truly say. They have not asked it of me, and so I do not know for certain.

[a long way to say It Depends.]

[selfimmolates]

Better hope you have one of the pacifistic gods, then.

[ritualization]

I suppose so.

[a short hum, and-]

Have you considered the same?

[selfimmolates]

I already know my god isn't trigger-happy, so it's not likely to be a concern for me.

[ritualization]

Then I will pray that it never becomes one.

[let all these kids live, honestly.]

[selfimmolates]

Well, we'll see.

[no let them die]

[ritualization]

[the only yeeting that's going to happen is yeeting them DIRECTLY AWAY FROM DEATH.

but anyway

he seems satisfied enough with the plants for now, gathering up a couple more before he stands.]

For now, we will just have to do what we can. Here-- most of these can be ingested or made into teas, they're likely best in the kitchen for now.

[selfimmolates]

[he nods.]

There should be stuff to store them in. Not like we're going to be here long enough to worry too much about them degrading, at least.

[ritualization]

They'll be more available to everyone that way, as well. I would rather see them used than simply kept.

[off to the kitchen it is! where he's going to start cleaning them first, especially if any, you know. got sparkles on them. we are not out here to ingest glitter.]

Do you already know what all of these are?

[i ooc don't remember what i already mentioned but they've got mint, chamomile, feverfew, & salvia lyrata, so!]

[selfimmolates]

[luckily the glitter (?) is stuck to him.......]

Yeah, though I haven't actually worked with most of them. My knowledge is mostly theoretical.
