(ooc: eh...I think you are going to have two drakks on his case...oh boy...)
"Seltin..." Spider said, keeping his voice calm, "The Mayor was a good mud...but he has gone mad with power. Yes I understand why he made the deal with the Vykker...but the Vykker is also using him...using him to get those the Cartel wants back, including me. What have Idone to to anyone in the village to deserve being put back in that hell hole they call a lab? I saved this town twice, Seltin, and all I want is to live in peace. Yes I have done bad things at the start of my life...but I was driven to near insanity by what they had done to me, I had no other choice. What you have me to? Stay there and be tortured for the rest of my life? Or escape and be free to try to live like everyone else fighting the Cartel? Do I not deserve a chance to atone for what I have done? A goodess herself gave me her blessing...does that not mean anything to you? Yes I failed to stop Malice myself..." he winced at the pain of that memory, "but I am not perfect....no one is. You know in yer heart that I would gladly give my life to protect this village..."
"Look I know the are not pleasent types." Seltin retorted, "but they are not evil..."
"Not...evil?" Dementa said slowly, trying to keep her temper, but was failing, "How...can you be so...arogent(sp)? They not evil because they enslaved much of the mudokon race?" Her voice started to get louder, "Not evil because they do terrible things to innocent creatures!? Not evil because the pollute and clear-cut our lands!?" Her voice was shrill and shaking now, "Not evil because the wiped out my people and knows how many others for the sack of PROFIT!!!!?????"
Before anyone else could stop her she grabbed Seltin and pinned him up against the wall.
"I have been in their so-called 'care' for a few months about a year ago." she growled, her violet eyes burning with fury, "They ran horrible experiments on me...and had the guard have their fun with me...dispite my harm touch! Do you call that 'not evil'?" She dropped him then and stepped away, shaking and trying hard to get herself back under control.
When Spider had recovered from Dementa's sudden outburst, he said:
"Seltin...That Vykker is using the Mayors lust for power against him. I hard the Vykker say this myself...when those sligs had captured me the first time: 'He is a threat to your power.' Now tell me...when have I ever been a threat to the Mayor?"
(ooc: I had actually wrote Dementa's reaction first...but when I double checked what Seltin had said I realised I was implying that Dementa could read minds...oops...so I rearanged it...)
