I tried to get through to you

[You know what that was? A fiasco. That was an utter fiasco. Three more people gone on a chance that may not happen! This is horrible. Even if some people dislike her, Rhea... is up to the challenge once more. This time she does it nearly herself: writing out the invitations, ordering the food and telling everyone to meet at the bar. In Ema's honor, of course.

She hands out the invitations herself and if she can't find you, she'll slide yours under your door.]

I disagree. There's no difference between poison and any other method--in fact, I would go far enough to say the method itself is unimportant.

[archboxer]

The result is the same regardless, yes, but let me put it this way: if you cannot stand to drive a dagger into someone's heart then you have no right to use poison to circumvent it.

[blackmass]

What does a murderer care for the world's view of what is or is not their 'right'? Disagreeing with the validity of the method makes it work no less well.

[Her eyebrows cannot be raised higher.]

Why, I would think you would understand exactly why out of everyone else here. Unless you have grown so distant from your own order.

[blackmass]

The only thing that matters to the Eighth Sacrament is preserving and executing the will of God. The methods of doing so are a distant second priority. Yes, we have methods enough that resorting to things like poison is unnecessary, but assassination for such a purpose is seen as pious a service to the Lord as any other.

[archboxer]

'For such a purpose'. Do you understand? Yes, perhaps, some would see poison as a needed evil but equally there are others who would shun it. Assassination takes many forms. Admittedly, poison is very ineffective as a tool.
