HELLO! I WANT TO COLLECT SOME DATA.

IF YOU HAVE OPINIONS ABOUT ETHICS, PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

1] ARE THERE ACTIONS YOU CONSIDER UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF CONTEXT? IF SO, PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES

2] ARE THERE SOME MITIGATING CONTEXTS THAT RENDER OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE ACTIONS ACCEPTABLE TO YOU? IF SO, PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES

3] IF A PERSON HAS PERFORMED AN UNACCEPTABLE ACTION, WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER AN APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT?

THANKS! 8)

because i didn't realize just saying it to you was an option until about ten seconds ago

[tinyfood]

HOW COME?

[hallucinogem]

how much is it going to help you understand ethics if i answer that?

[tinyfood]

THAT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE ANSWER IS!

[hallucinogem]

fine.

i didn't want to type it out like that where anyone with two eyes and a brain could see it. i didn't want it to be that easy to figure out.

[tinyfood]

HUH WHY NOT?

[hallucinogem]

because, Entrapta. i thought you were supposed to be a genius.

this isn't something i like talking about.

[tinyfood]

I THINK I GET THAT
BUT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'D BRING IT UP IN A WAY THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE BECAUSE THEN YOU HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU SAID, INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING IT IN A WAY THAT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND, SO THAT YOU CAN SPEND LESS TIME TALKING ABOUT IT, OR NOT SAYING ANYTHING?

[tinyfood]

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT THOUGH

[hallucinogem]

hold on.

private, probably, she thinks she's got this

[hallucinogem]

[what's up. she's in your DMs now, roomie.]

i just don't want the world to see it, okay?
it's that simple.
i don't want everybody in this city to know everything about. all of that.

[tinyfood]

OH! HELLO!
THAT MAKES SENSE
BUT I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO NOT BRING IT UP AT ALL, THAT WAY NOBODY IS WONDERING ABOUT IT OR ASKING QUESTIONS?

[hallucinogem]

probably!
but i said it anyway!
because i was stupid enough to want to help someone out!
and now i have to live with it!

ugh.
this sucks.

[tinyfood]

OH.

I'M

SORRY.

[hallucinogem]

it's fine.

maybe you'll get some data out of it or whatever.

[tinyfood]

YES, I HAVE MADE A NOTE TO BE MORE CAREFUL ABOUT ASKING YOU QUESTIONS IN FUTURE

[hallucinogem]

not your fault i'm like this but thanks all the same

don't tell anyone else about this stuff

[tinyfood]

NOTED!

I DO NOT THINK THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY THAT YOU ARE THOUGH

[hallucinogem]

i'd probably put more stock in that if you had more to go off than this slow-motion panic attack but
sure
thanks

[tinyfood]

THE WAY I SEE IT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO MAKE A MISTAKE TO LEARN SOMETHING

USUALLY YOU HAVE TO MAKE A MISTAKE ACTUALLY

[hallucinogem]

["then i should know a lot more than i do" is what she types, then backspaces.]

i'm still figuring out what i learned from this one
other than "don't be afraid of talking to your roommate", i guess

[tinyfood]

IT'S ALWAYS WORTH KEEPING TRACK OF DATA THAT DOESN'T SEEM IMMEDIATELY USEFUL IN CASE IT PROVES RELEVANT LATER ON!

[tinyfood]

PLEASE DO NOT BE AFRAID OF ME THOUGH

[hallucinogem]

i'm not, probably
i'm just
dealing with a lot right now

[tinyfood]

OH
HM WELL IF
ANY OF THE DEVICES I HAVE UPSTAIRS WOULD HELP WITH ANY OF THAT
LET ME KNOW AND YOU CAN BORROW THEM
