6th [video]

I don't really understand much about electricity but if you can use lightning for it, it shouldn't be that hard to make a proper power source. All you'd need is...hmm....

[Yes, it's an intentional video. One of Kris in her workshop, mulling over plans on a table. Plans to make a power source that is perpetual. It's magic, man. MAGIC.]

What if I used a crystal? But that would need recharging after a while. If it had a soul, maybe, but no one would want to give one up. Unless there was a volunteer...

Anyone have any ideas? Throw them at me and it could help me push ahead!

Putting souls in gems is definitely wrong!

[ported]

I don't see what the problem is.

[starofpleiades]

It's definitely a problem! People's souls should stay in their bodies! And they definitely shouldn't be used to power things.

[ported]

Some people do it willingly though.

[starofpleiades]

Ehhh, really!? Do they do it knowing what it is they're doing?

[ported]

Yeah. Sometimes a life like that is better than suffering and starving.

[starofpleiades]

Oh, well... I guess that's different then? I'm not sure about using them as a power source though... that doesn't hurt them, does it?

[ported]

Does your heart hurt?

[starofpleiades]

Um, it can! But not right now. Is that what you mean?

[ported]

It's the same way for souls.

[starofpleiades]

Huh... well, I guess if they volunteer, and they know what they're getting into, and aren't tricked into it...

[ported]

None of that is really any of my concern.

[starofpleiades]

How can you say that! That's terrible!

[ported]

It's true though.

[starofpleiades]

If you're the one doing it, you should be more responsible! You can't trick people into something like giving up their souls!

[ported]

Who said anything about tricking? It's still not something I should handle.

[starofpleiades]

Well, I mean... if you're going to be doing the whole "putting souls into gems" thing, you need to make sure the people involved know what's involved!

[ported]

If you say so...

[starofpleiades]

It's true! You have to be responsible for who you involve, or you're just taking advantage of them!

[ported]

People taking advantage of each other is how the world works.

[starofpleiades]

Well, it shouldn't be! It's not right!

[ported]

Demanding it isn't going to change anything either.

[starofpleiades]

It needs to start somewhere! It won't change if you keep accepting that that's just the way things are!

[ported]

Good luck but I'm still going to do things my way.

[starofpleiades]

I'm going to make sure you don't take any souls then! I mean, at least not without checking if it's okay with them! No soul-stealing!
