Riley Vex
Riley felt one of her laughing fits bubbling up, but shoved it down, her grin widening. "So, you don't believe me.." Riley shifted out of the laid back position she was in, the chair crashing onto all four legs with a bang that made some of the more jittery prisoners and guards jump."How many people have you killed? Hmm.. Let's see, it doesn't really matter."
She paused for dramatic effect, head tilted in thought.
"Everyone commits crimes in their life. Crimes against you bunch's 'god' or whatever, like lying and being unfaithful. Crime against humanity like theft and murder. But, if you believe in humanity's precious 'god' then you understand that sins can be forgiven, and people can repent.
Not that I'd try.
But, you went out and killed those who were trying their best to repent, and you act like you're all high-and-mighty. Pathetic, because you're killing. Whether it's in the name of 'god' or 'righteousness.' one thing you need to get into your head is that neither of those exist in the world."
Riley was watching him carefully for his reactions, knowing full well she was one of the fastest people in the prison, if not the fastest--a skill gained from killing gun-wielding dorks with a sword.
"You kill people, ex-criminals and criminals alike, under the name of justice. Let's look at the world, for example, and compare it to revenge. The world, as you should very well know, is crooked on its axis; tilted quite unfairly. And when it does become straight--when revenge is completed, if you will--it lasts for very little time. The world tilts again."
"If that doesn't make sense to you, then look at all the families you hurt by killing. In the case of criminals, their family wouldn't feel as hurt as average. But what about the criminals who were repenting honestly? Their families hurt just as much as if an innocent member had died. And, not to mention, the chance to be forgiven was harshly snatched away from them."
"Your killing under the name of justice is pathetic. Keep acting holier-than-thou, ignore my words, and when the truth smacks you down, expect for there to be no hand helping you up."
As Riley spoke, her voice had quieted, as if she were regretting her choices, but that was and always would be up for speculation.
"One bad apple spoils the bunch, my dear, and if you really are good, that won't last long! If you reverse that saying, the effect is all the more treacherous. You're SURROUNDED by 'trash' and 'garbage' and have no way out, and when it gets to your head..." Riley had broken off her rather loud mini-speech by toppling onto the ground laughing furiously, something that made most of the prisoners and many guards shift in unease, scoot away, and try to ignore her.
(So much red.. o-o)
