"Sometimes," Faye began today, "it's just not worth it, for whatever reason. Maybe the trip to find the bounty is too long to be worth the fuel. Sometimes you find a bigger fish." She glanced over at Din, sighed, and added, "Sometimes you just don't want to turn them in."

Even for Faye, money wasn't everything.

"Finding where your morals are in this job can be difficult," Din said, glancing over at where the kid was coloring with crayons at the teacher's desk. "And sometimes you'll have it change over your time doing it. Personally, I've worked with people who I wouldn't willingly work with again at this point in my life."

Or would work with and then toss in prison for being the shitty people he knew they were.

"Same," Faye agreed, her tone far from her usual level of playfulness, even if she wasn't elaborating at this time. "Morals can be...flexible in this business. Slippery. It's not a one-size-fits-all kind of thing. And sometimes things change once you really get a look at who you're hunting, and who you might be turning them into."

In her case, the ISSP were generally fine, but not everyone really deserved to be turned over to the cops, every time.

"So, I guess this is where we talk about where you draw the line," Din said. Oh no, a talking class!

Where do you draw the line? Are there people you won't work for/with? Are there bounties you won't hunt or turn in? (Children, for a totally random example?)

Summer was...going to need a moment, with this one. Because every time she thought of a line she might have, she opened her mouth to contribute it, then stopped, closed her mouth as she recalled a moment where hse had, in fact, very much crossed that line, usually with gusto, then settled back into her chair to think again.

There was also the fact that she wasn't exactly proud of a lot of that stuff, and it was a very small island, and she sort of had this guy she was super into that still hadn't really picked up on the fact that she was kind of a piece of shit, and she would like to keep it that way, so volunteering this information didn't exactly sound that appealing either.

So she thought about it some more, now just trying to figure out exactly the best way to put this into terms that would work for the context of her...whole deal.

"I'm not really sure I believe in lines?" she offered. "I guess the only one I can think of is anything that will hurt my friends. I'll fuck with a lot of shit, but nothing that'll fuck with them."

A pause.

"If I can help it."

Because, well...

LINES WERE HARD, GUYS, IT WAS TOO EARLY FOR THIS, especially when she was literally going from this class to a class where she'd force people to put beef into fudge and deep fry a mac'n'cheese-sausage-egg pancake cylander. This was literally the worst person to be talking about lines...

"I am not always a good person," Illyana admitted, not appearing too bothered by that fact. "I have, ah, 'anger issues.' And I spent much of my childhood under the influence of someone with a very different set of 'morals' -- and I use that term very loosely -- than anyone who is not a sociopath."

"But I have one, very clear rule: I will not harm children, and I will not allow them to come to any harm under my watch or authority."

Who were both here. Also featured: adorable small green crayon artist.

It is 1 PM and I would like a nap already.
