Do you think that it's possible for people to be inherently bad? Not all the way, necessarily, but like maybe there's a bigger chance of messing up if you come from something bad, or like you've got some kind of latent seed planted deep that could burst someday.

I don't think that's true, if you look at it objectively. It still makes me really nervous sometimes, though, so I wonder if some part of me thinks it's a real possibility. I can't shake it off, so I get frustrated with myself sometimes.

I'm sure other people must feel like that. I'm sorry if you do.

I think I'm thinking more along those lines, yes. I don't think people can be born bad, exactly, but maybe the possibility is just more present in some circumstances.

Something like that, anyway.

It might be more present. But would you really want to live knowing it was more present? It might be really hard to think of the future.

I can't think of the future much either way.

It would help you tread more carefully, if nothing else. That might be a good thing.

I'm sorry. Unless its good you cant then i take back my sorry.

do you really think itd help people tread more carefully? what if they just decided not to believe it?

It's fine. Thanks.

I don't know about that. It'd probably end in some sort of Shakespearian karmic justice scenario. The non-believer stubbornly presses forward until they're labelled a criminal, most likely dying a horrible death or losing their eyes or something.

haha it probably would

then again trying your hardest to not live up to that destiny or whatever could lead to the same thing.

Yep. That's what pre-destination's all about.

I don't think things are as rigidly spelled out as all that, at least.

I hope it's not.

Do you think you've got something bad inside of you that means you'll end up walking the villain side one day?

Well, maybe not as sudden as all that.

My powers are tied to some unfortunate history. I still find it hard to see the good in them sometimes.

I sort of understand that.

What are your powers?

Pheromone projection.

Basically, I have smells that control people's feelings.

oh. I can see how thatd cause potential issues.

Yeah. My powers and I have a complicated relationship.

I can see why. I think a lot of powers are things that people end up having complicated relationships for whatever reason so youre not alone.
