I'm sorry to ruin all of the pleasant news that's been shared recently, but this is important.

[this is quite a departure in tone from what people on the network usually hear from Jonathan - it's steely and solemn, no trace of the sunny young man chatting amiably about dogs and lost items.]

A week ago two imPorts were kidnapped by a man named Robert Jennings for the sole purpose of hunting them down like animals. [the disgust in his voice is barely contained] They were rescued and Mr. Jennings himself was apprehended - but a group called the Go Fors whose services he utilized is still operating.

They provided technology which made it possible to spirit the pair of them away without causing suspicion, as well as keep them trapped long enough to be hunted. There were at least six individuals involved; I can provide names and some other information to whoever would like it.

This can't be allowed to happen again. I'll do whatever I can to help anyone interested in taking this up as well, whether through more details or physical assistance, but...in the meantime, please be careful, everyone.

[there's no telling what else they might attempt before they're brought down.]

[Full disclosure: that sounds incredibly fun to Chrollo. In fact, he would totally do it at home if he got bored enough. But nevermind that, he's going to pretend to be a normal person now!]

What? How... how could something like that even happen?

[fistofthejoestar]

[thank you for lying, Chrollo. Jonathan needs some breathing room between everyone being psychotic fuckwads around him.]

He felt he was entitled to indulge himself because of the destruction the Hornets had caused through us recently, and he had the money to carry it out. It's unacceptable.

[cephalothorax]

That's pretty poor logic. It's not as though the affected imPorts had any control over all of that. Quite the contrary just by definition.

[fistofthejoestar]

To be perfectly honest, I don't think he truly believed any of it. He simply wanted an excuse to become a monster without any of the guilt.

[cephalothorax]

[A monster, lol that's pretty judgmental. Chrollo's amused - it's actually pretty cute. His first thought is, "this guy would definitely be an enhancer." His second is, "He reminds me of Gon."]

That's probably true, although maybe a little harsh on monsters.

[fistofthejoestar]

Real monsters become that way through their own choices. There's no reason for restraint on their account.

[there is a significant distinction between those who have been corrupted through no fault of their own, or may simply be terrifying in appearance, and a true abomination. the former deserves sympathy and respect - the latter nothing but a swift end.]

[cephalothorax]

That's one way to look at it.

Actually, I think I agree.

[NO HE DOESN'T. let's pretend though.]

[fistofthejoestar]

I can only speak for myself, but...I feel very strongly on the matter.

[he's not really sure if there's any other way to look at it, really. not without distorting the truth.]
