I feel that would require a lot of explanation.

The short of it is that I want to know if I'm crazy.

[il_mostro]

Well, if I am to be equally straight-forward, what kind of ...crazy?

[arkfall]

The kind that commits genocide.

[il_mostro]

Ah! That would mark you with sociopathic tendencies with a touch of self-aggrandizing. Perhaps some sort of persecution complex. Hating some part of yourself that identifies with that which you hate.

So, above common variety crazy, although we do not like to use the word crazy in my business.

[arkfall]

Those words describe malfunctions in human brains, do they not? As I said, I am not human. Would they still apply?

[il_mostro]

If you are saying what you did was genocide, then yes. The term itself states that while you are not human, persay, you still judge yourself by some human standards. If you saw the people you killed as less than yourself -- culling would have been more appropriate, and thus made your reactions 'in-human', and therefore, un-discernable by some.

[arkfall]

What if my reasons for doing it was to protect my own kind?

[il_mostro]

Well that gives you some sort of matyr or messiah complex. I would need more details to really pin down a diagnosis.

[As he would be Fascinated to hear what justifies genocide for one's own people.]

[arkfall]

[Wow, he feels a little called out, but it's not like he can deny any of this.]

Should we schedule a time to talk face to face?

[il_mostro]

[Which is why Hannibal is doing it. He does love calling people out.]

I think if we are going to delve into this further -- that would be wise. When are you free?

[arkfall]

Any time.

How long do the first meetings usually take?

[il_mostro]

Anywhere from a half an hour to an hour. It depends on the number of questions that you have for me.

[arkfall]

You should probably expect a longer meeting.

[il_mostro]

An excellent suggestion. I shall schedule a block of two hours to speak of your in-human tendencies towards genocide for the betterment of your own people.

[arkfall]

How many non-humans have you worked with before?

[il_mostro]

At this point - five.

[arkfall]

Interesting.

My understanding is that you cannot share many details about them, but can you tell me at least what species they are?

[il_mostro]

Vampire, magi, and other.

[arkfall]

My understanding of vampires is that they were once human, is that correct? They've been changed, elevated above where they started?

[il_mostro]

It depends on the vampire, I believe, but yes, that is my basic understanding.

[arkfall]

And what of you? Are you fully human?

[il_mostro]

Well, I suppose it depends on your definition of human. Am I made of the same flesh, the same blood? Yes. However I am the owner of a sharper mind, and my body is more highly developed than most. I also have a sense of smell that borders, apparently, on legendary.

[arkfall]

I'm used to humans with strange abilities. It doesn't make them more than human.

[il_mostro]

Then consider me human, if it pleases your sensibilities.

[arkfall]

Did you use your abilities for anything when you back home?
