" Screw this, if you're going to threaten me into not being practical, or moral mind you, then I shall do so to avoid a fight" Crunkledunk does as Charley tells him- but keeps the credit card nobody noticed before in his pocket dimension.
"I'll keep it simple and easy to understand, we do something similar to what you were doing. Go after gangs and other people who the law and news won't cover, but unlike you we take them over with our power and use them to our advantage, it stops any wannabe super-man back there or the government from realizing its one of us and immediately focusing on us if we have a bunch of normal humans covering us, and it gives us more hands so we can do more work."
" Because" He says as he puts a couples wedding rings back on their fingers " you all are forcing me to do what you may call "moral" so the greater my ability without exceeding the point by which you still have power over me is better for everyone. I mean resources like this might find themselves being useful for solving that murder and bringing the perpetrators to justice. So I wouldn't call it just morally okay- I would call it morally exemplary."
"There is no need for such resources. I can and will solve the murder regardless of how much money I possess. There are legitimate methods to obtain wealth." Nicholas replies.
" Also" Crunkledunk speaks in a patronising tone " you've used it once before and I implore you to not use it again- when you insult me and it provides nothing to your argument and yet you frame it like it is, you are using a severe logical fallacy. It is called Ad Hominem"
"And what about the people you are stealing from? We need to find a solution that is best all the parties involved, including the folks here. We can find those murderers without stealing."
" Ugh" Crunkledunk looks at Nicholas in disgust" I am fine with helping people but if you are talking about "contributing to society" like some boorish commoner- well that's where I draw the line"
"Contributing to the advancement of humankind is the greatest honor one can achieve. Now then. By murders I assume you are referring to those of the mayor and the drug dealers."
"Huh, i like the way you think, the simple, but effective. If i recall, there is alot of those guys in Detroit, alot of them are relative, so we can take alot of them with relative easy. Even if they are not in the same place, the places where they sell their products may still be a way to contact them"
For better or for worse, i need to stay with this guy. He can think of ways to get out of bad situations if we ever get caught. Though, i still need to keep an eye on him, from the way he is, he may as well be hiding something and be working with the 'good guys' or just be a dick and back stab me later o
@DustyRaider "ever heard of JohnStuartMillKnight? Well speaking in ethical theory, because being used in societal theory disgusts me, there is the theory of utilitarianism, something you are crudely employing, where it is about maximising pleasure and minimising pain. Now, I'm fairly sure these peoples pain from losing loose possessions is minuscule in comparison to taking their money and stopping murderers"
At this point, various reports of a shooting in the White House are released, although specific details aren't revealed yet. In addition, pictures of Silas, Kyouka, and Charley have been posted and spread across the internet already. No major reports have been given on powers, but some people are talking about it on social media.
@Drite and Everything You too feel a odd presence watching you for a second, but it disappears quickly.
Crunkledunk looks at the news coverage " Well then it appears more political assassinations are occurring- though whether they are related to each other any more than merely the whole power business is deeply uncertain"
"Glad to see you understand, and I can't say I did feel anything, must be your imagination. Now enough blabbing, time is money, and I'm sure neither of us what to waste either."
I would normally think I'm paranoid but that feeling and the way this day has been probably means something is there, did one of the others follow us? Lets wait and see how they act.
" Firstly- explain why that's the case, as all you are saying then are just baseless assertions. Also, I just explained why it totally is a reason, and yes I am in it for my own gain. That doesn't mean the consequences of my actions are not what you would define as "positive""
"Enough of this nonsense. We require a way to exit the barrier, preferably without using these stones, a shooting in the White House itself cannot be left uninvestigated. Will you come with me in a search for clues or not?"
Nicholas says, getting up from his chair and heading towards the exit.
Crunkledunk points a shovel in front of Nicholas, blocking him "Sure it sounds interesting, but if you don't want the law on your back we should probably have a plan to escape from this place undetected as it is a crime scene"
"These people are alive and have their own lives. To disregard them like this is no better than murder. While I want to stop these murderers that doesn't justify stealing. Besides considering how they are superpowered as well, this money won't do us much good. The ends of catching criminals doesn't justify act like a criminal."
" I'm confused by your whole "don't disregard people" argument. Yes I am disregarding then just as a murderer would except I have an ultimately moral reason for my disregarding that outranks them. Unless you are saying we shouldn't mess with their lives as a fundamental rule- like some idiot KantKnight- and I can't be bothered to argue this - especially considering your rule probably isn't that unbreakable when it comes to interfering with criminals lives" Crunkledunk shrugs " Now, the more important question how do we get out undetected- I suggest swapping clothes with the knocked out unless you refuse to interfere with these people's lives"
As of now, i have returned to the beach. My territory creation makes the beach experience great for everyone in it, though the women seem to be paying a lot of attention to me for some reason. No matter.
"Dammit- great I didn't know you all just thought you could get out of here by just turning invisible. Also people are going to know if you came in the pub and didn't come out"
Strange, i think that this guy is playing against me. Fair, i wouldn't trust myself to do anything, but this guy's suspicious is on another level, i must be careful
"Yeah, you are right, it is only a thing from my head now that i think about it. By the way we are almost there my good sir"
Charley suddenly remember something. His body was involved with light and when it faded, Charley looked like Godzilla but it looked pretty fake. "If anyone asks I'm cosplaying."
