So Lockon, if the problem was it was on some little kid's post, be a man and step up now!

You see that, Lockon? I believe that is what you would call empathy. Something that a psychopath does not possess! As such, your reasoning is flawed.

[trinities]

He's not going to listen to anything! Why do you even like him so much, geez?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Nena, don't bring that up, please...

[trinities]

I won't, what do you take me for? No way I'd say stuff like that for someone, it would make them a total coward and I'm not friends with cowards!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Nena...

[trinities]

I get it, I get it!

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

You've taught her to spout off the moral codes of a five year old, Tieria. She's a teenager. If you're trying to impress me, it's not working.

How can you be so sure?

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

So sure of what?

[locked]

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

That she's a teenager.

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

Well if she actually was five years old, I might see the satisfaction in getting her to act like one. What're you getting at, Tieria?

[locked]

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I apologize, then. It seems I'm a year out.

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

You lost me. What?

[locked]

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

You know exactly what I am implying. She is six years old.

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

She's what?

[locked]

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

She took her first unassisted breath approximately six years ago. She opened her eyes approximately six years ago. She entered the world of human contact approximately six years ago.

However you want to put it, that is the rough period of time.

...I don't think this is the clarification you meant it to be, you know. If Nena's six, then Michael's what, seven? Eight? And both of them look pretty clearly into their teenage years. If there's more detail to this, you're going to have to give me at least a hint here.

[locked]

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

That sounds about right for Michael, yes.

Specify what you would like more detail on.

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

...We could start with why they look as old as they do and move on to why Michael especially has the sex drive of about ten teenagers if he's actually eight.

Is this more of a technical age that you're talking about, here?

[locked]

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Due to their natural aging rather than... anything else, I can only presume that they are physiologically normal. Well, as normal as somebody like Allelujah, for example.

Yes, a technical age. I suppose you could say that they're teenagers with the first twelve years of their lives missing, but for the purposes of your argument on morality, they are children.

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

...I'd be more inclined to accept that as an excuse if they didn't seem to have picked up on everything else about being a teenager fast enough.

[locked]

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

If you think that being given behavioral mimicry techniques for the basis of infiltration is equivalent to learning basic morality from scratch with me teaching them, then I suspect you need to re-evaluate your reasoning.

[locked]

[lockon2urheart]

If they can pick up everything else with behavioural mimicry then they've got no leg to stand on. They might have the moral compass of kids, but they've got the brains of teenagers. Hell, I've seen real five year olds with more knowledge of right and wrong.

You're not listening. Again. They were trained to be psychopaths. But they are not innately incapable of changing that behavior. It's going to take time, and a lot of help.

I thought you'd know that.
