We've been out of blood for the beasts for some time, huh? What's to stop us from just not feeding them anymore? Can't we lock them up and just let them starve? They live forever, all right? So there'd be no "death toll" or worry of them coming back. We just lock them up and let them starve like the monsters they are.

Why is everyone treating them like they're some kind of humans, huh? I could say the same about some of the other creatures here too, but they haven't become dangerous yet.

Torture's frowned upon.

It'll breed resentment.

Private - strikes readable if trying

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Torture's just part of life, huh? It's not torture if they're not human, all right? It's no different than putting a magnifying glass over an ant.

From who? The vampires? They deserve to die.

[sonotahunter.livejournal.com]

Because they are 'some kind of humans', or they were. Their diet distinguishes them from us perhaps, but they can't help their needs any more than some full humans can help allergies or chronic illness.

And in any case, they are stronger than us, faster than us, and more willing and able to work together than us, considering they're in the minority. Starvation drives creatures to extraordinary feats. I wouldn't want to be you if they caught wind of this suggestion, certainly.

THIS IS BRUCE, BEING ALL PROUD OF YOU

I'm, I'm really not comfortable with this idea. I mean, it's not their fault they're vampires, and. Well, by calling them monsters, you're starting on a slipper slope, you know? Like, anyone who's not strictly human could get thrown under that definition and then you're just. Tossing everyone who's different into zero.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

What if it is? Not everyone who's different, my friend. Everyone who's different and dangerous. Their existence is a threat to our own. I won't save any man that's not capable of surviving by himself if required. Take away humans and they can't survive anymore.

howie is tempted, but doesn't comment. damn professionalism.

[peektuttut]

That's not inhumane or anything.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

They're inhuman, all right?

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

That is appalling.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Ja, ja hulle. They are.

[evilbystatute.livejournal.com]

Thing is, that's punishing them for what they are - they can't help how they're made, no more than you can help being a human with no powers or abilities bar your lovely accent and strange use of languages.

You can't help that, but you can help what you do with it - and so can they. There's no reason to torture them. None at all.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

How do you know, huh? What if they chose that life? I chose mine.

It's not torture if they're not human.

[requiresssacrifice]

That's not a bad idea.

FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Ja. No reason to be letting them run loose, huh? It's bad for our survival as a species.

[bubble-mobile.livejournal.com]

Your notion is monsterous.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

It suits the creature.

[amagicalmystery.livejournal.com]

Can't fault your sense of self-preservation, son, but in my experience you want to be on the GOOD side of powerful things that know how to talk back to you.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Not if you can get rid of them.

[yourunichase]

You are a fucking idiot.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You could make the same argument that humans themselves are incredibly dangerous.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

But seeing as I am one and we don't, most of us, feed on humans, I feel that we're a bit safer as a species.

Private

[wichita-kansas.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

Private

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

We seem to be in the minority, my friend.

[Filter]

[hopeless-hacker.livejournal.com]

We're not out of blood. Since the loss of the Barge supply was recognised, we have never been out of blood. The problem has shifted from vampire attacks to idiots making unnecessary suggestions.

[Filter]

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Good, ja. Then why are they still attacking people, huh? You don't like my solution? You suggest another. It's not stupid to want to survive.

And be careful who you go calling idiots, all right? Some people might take it as rude.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

I am certain it's been said more eloquently.

NO.

How are they to reform without being fed? That is our purpose here.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Then offer another suggestion for the vampires that have been attacking and feeding on people, huh?

Same filter

[itsyourtime.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I've been called a monster enough times that I think such a solution would likely lead to a similar treatment of myself, so I will have to disagree with your proposition.

Besides, they're too fascinating, really, to just lock away. Some are even quite cooperative when you wish to learn the basics of their physiology.

Same filter

[requiresssacrifice]

I think you're overestimating your fearsome reputation here.

Same filter

[nomoreleftshoe.livejournal.com]

No way, man. No way.

That's just going to make things worse around here and making the equivalent of a time bomb. No one stays in zero for more than seven days and when they get out after those seven days? Guess what they're going to go for first.

Same filter

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Not it we change the rules, all right? There's got to be a way to fix "Level Zero" or to find some empty rooms. There's magic around here, way I hear it. That means people to take care of those kinda things, huh?

But if you're not keen on it, why don't you recommend another solution to deal with the things attacking and killing other inmates without provocation, all right?

[subtlescience]

I believe it has been attempted once already.

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

What happened, huh?

[gutsofaguppy.livejournal.com]

The Admiral must see some potential in them or they wouldn't be here. Don't belittle the wardens of these misguided creatures with your prejudice.

And I say this as a recent bite victim from a world overrun by zombies. So.

Yeah.

[gutsofaguppy.livejournal.com]

Vampire bite victim.

Private - because he doesn't wanna get hit by the bleeding heart brigade

[major-west.livejournal.com]

This was proposed the last time the creatures lost their meal tickets. As you can imagine, the response then was much the same as it is now: everybody scrambling to defend the monsters that prey on them.

And, if you're wondering how the story of last time ended: they killed several of our populace quite horrifically.

Private

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

Then why hasn't anyone done anything, huh? We outnumber them. There's got to be enough of us to do something.

FU CLONE -- selfthreadingbecauseihadto

[lostundercover]

I get what you're trying to say? But you're going about it like a fucking moron.

that'sall

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

You either help or you don't, all right? Don't talk unless you've got a better idea.

Private - as someone is likely to misinterpt her intentions.

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

I think it'd just be more dangerous in the long run, if we did that. Once we had to open the doors, you know?

Private

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

We don't open the doors.

[spo0kshow-baby.livejournal.com]

A-fuckin'-men!

[diamondtherough.livejournal.com]

So what are you going to do to help the cause, huh?
