116th
And so they return, back to the City, back to the dry land to which they cling.

And so we are taught a fascinating lesson in priorities, in who sank, in who swam, in who tried to rescue. In who saved themselves.

And in who sacrificed to save everyone.

The Deus ex Machina II will be coming in. Does anyone wish a pickup?

	A strangely Darwinian taint to your words. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 01:28 am UTC (link)
	Darwinian, you say? Hmmmmm. No, no I don't think so at all. An interesting character study to be sure, but my observations are hardly about those whose genes have best adapted to the specific situation to continue their reproductive lines. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Social Darwinism. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Social? So only the "upper classes" survived, while the mentally handicapped and ill died? Or the physically challenged? Well, if that's the case, we all know what Social Darwinism leads to. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh, I certainly do.

My Fuhrer certainly did, as did our allies in Italy.

Our opponents in America did, ask them about their camps.

But wait, these are figures from history long past for you. Records might be long obliterated. Let us suggest some closer to home.

Herr Knives certainly knows where this leads, as does Herr Legato.

In some ways, Iscariot knows where it leads quite well. Anyone who is from an earth post 1940's would know.

[[Private/semi-hackable]]
And of course, we can't forget your brother.

He knows quite well.

	I'll have you know that I'm an avid historian. The Vatican keeps private records. Inciting people against one another because of differences, any differences-- priorities, beliefs, or otherwise --is disgusting. Stop poking for strife. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 02:23 am UTC (link)
	Are you? Then I recommend brushing up on the societal movements of the 19th Century. Really, Father Nightroad, surely you know me better than that. If I do not poke for strife, what else will I do? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	whofelltoearth 2008-04-16 02:28 am UTC (link)
	On the contrary, I don't know you at all. I only know that everything you say is utterly depraved. What kind of a man gets enjoyment out of inciting a war? Do yourself a favor and don't make any enemies. Get a hobby. Gardening is a popular one. [ooc: it's no prob! totally understand that Cain was here before and Poly's had a few Abels. Major can poke away.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 04:54 am UTC (link)
	Don't make any enemies, Father Nightroad? You call yourself a historian, just who do you think you're talking to? Would it be more helpful if I wore the black uniform of the Waffen-SS, with the Totenkopf on my brow? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	voice browning_baby 2008-04-16 01:35 am UTC (link)
	None of that matters. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 01:39 am UTC (link)
	Self-sacrifice, rescue, selfishness? I think these things matter quite a bit, Frauline Blake. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	browning_baby 2008-04-16 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Survival mattered. [ooc: Have one very tired Executioner. ^^;] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 01:51 am UTC (link)
	Ahhh. Survival above all. But who's? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	browning_baby 2008-04-16 01:54 am UTC (link)
	It's a pack thing. I pulled thirty-seven people out of the debris. Everyone's survival counted. It didn't matter about the social class. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 01:57 am UTC (link)
	Indeed it does not. Elsewise we would be in the Social Darwinism model Father Nightroad prescribed, the one that ruled the actual disaster. So it was survival of others that mattered and not your own. This? This matters quite a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	browning_baby 2008-04-16 01:58 am UTC (link)
	I'm not the selfish bitch everything thinks I am. Why does it matter so much? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 02:10 am UTC (link)
	I am a conductor. It is educating to learn how the instruments respond. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	browning_baby 2008-04-16 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	We're not your fucking instruments! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	What about in who watches and laughs? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 02:19 am UTC (link)
	The men who laugh? We must always remember those who laugh, mustn't we? But I thought it somewhat... arrogant to include myself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apportioning 2008-04-16 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Well, perhaps it is a tad arrogant to include oneself. You might want to include those on land, biting their nails, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Ahh, but ladies that is another study entirely, those who waited on land. I speak currently of those on the ship. For those on the land, we must look at those who wished to help and those who despaired. And those who simply didn't say anything at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apportioning 2008-04-16 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Silly things, thinking they can swim if things go bad! At least you said something, hm? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 02:41 am UTC (link)
	I am prone to commenting on such things. I am, as you so noted, one watches and laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apportioning 2008-04-16 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Have you ever watched and wept? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 04:53 am UTC (link)
	I came close once. But then... then I saw, and I understood. And I could not help myself but laugh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apportioning 2008-04-16 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Ah, revelations tend to have that effect. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 05:17 am UTC (link)
	Oh yes. It was a defining moment in my life. Berlin burned and I turned down vampirism, turned down what is called "immortality". (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	apportioning 2008-04-16 05:24 am UTC (link)
	Immortality is overrated. You don't get to be my age without learning a thing or two about it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	warconductor 2008-04-16 05:49 am UTC (link)
	Overrated? Possibly. More likely a myth, but further experimentation would be required to verify. (Reply to this)(Parent)
