Beka is not sure what she was expecting as a result of walking into a snake monster but an Elf city would have been very low on a list of possibilities if someone had jumbled a lot of random words together into place-phrases and had her rank them. "Elf city" would probably have been under "spider void" and above "grape juice ocean". And yet here she is.
It seems like a pretty important point to me. What does your country do with people who start a civil war?
So you just, uh, pat them on the shoulder and tell them to please not do that again?
I don't really see how having sex with people is worse than executing them.
It's like... um... Like, yes, obviously, if you ask people if they'd rather die or get raped they will probably prefer the second thing but you don't do it 'cause... she wishes she had the internet, she's just gotten kind of marinated in this ethos and doesn't know exactly how it started or how the logic goes. ...maybe if you're allowed to use prisoners for things that are fun or useful you will take more of them than you really need or something?
- I guess if that happened a lot that'd be a good reason to have that rule? Nothing like the civil war had ever happened before the civil war so we were just kind of - making it up as we went along, with rules about what you can do.
Rabka doesn't have nearly as strong an opinion about it but does think that this is the sort of thing that should maybe cause you not to say you don't have slavery.
She has never interacted with any war decisionmaking and hasn't the foggiest.
That does seem like a good reason to have a general rule against it if we don't already, which I think in practice we do.
Well, yes, the King doing what he wants isn't going to cause any of those problems with pushing people to have wars or take prisoners when they wouldn't otherwise.
It's fucky. It would get a different and more stringent warning on a website and she doesn't like it at all and it kind of grosses her out that he's okay with it.
...but if he'd killed him that would not get any warnings and it'd be okay and it'd be fine that I was all right with it?
There might be death warnings on some websites especially 'cause people are freaked out about corpses but yeah people die in wars that happens. Keeping sex slave POWs doesn't have to happen.
If I tell him to just kill him already and he does, then we're fine?
