[Tobias has mostly been keeping to himself, his studies, and his family lately. With everything that's happened, he's really just wanted to introvert for a bit -- at least as much as he can with the people he cares about. But all this time, a question has been nagging at him. Bothering him. He's certainly not the naive child he was before, but some things he simply can't seem to understand.

Which is why he's turned to Garden for help.]

What makes a bad person "bad?" Is it when they hurt someone? Or destroy something? Or is just thinking about doing that enough to be bad?

And... why do bad people do those bad things?

[And yet, amidst this, there's something else on his mind.]

[PM to Marco]

Hey Dad? Why don't you and Mom have an egg?

I'm sure we can find something suitable, eh.

So you're okay now? Anymore questions?

[Ruffle ruffle.]

Generally, they end up in police custody, go to trial, and are sentenced according to their crimes. Could be a period of unpaid work, they could be imprisoned for a certain length of time, or they might just have to pay a fine. Depends what they did.

If they keep causing harm to innocent people, then I will keep fighting to stop them.
corruptedsouls: (And he's ready to blow)

Okay! Thanks, Dad!

[And all that ruffling makes Tobias snuggle into Marco. <3 Mmm, cuddles with Dad.]

No, I'm okay now.
corruptedsouls: (Go on and get yourself together)

What if they killed someone?
redcinemareel: (Grell: green eyes)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2012-12-04 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Grell is sitting on her bed, sharpening a dagger while humming a rather cheerful tune. There's a cat on her lap, another curled up on her bed, and a large chocobo nestled in a warm spot by the window.

Lark, the chocobo, quirks its head a bit at Toby's presence at the open door, which grabs Grell's attention. She gets pretty into keeping her toys nice and sharp.]

Hi, my precious~! [She puts away her weapon and pats a spot next to her on the bed. She's sitting on it in a way that her legs are not dangling off the side, but are straight] Come, come! Tell me who dares to bother you!

[So she can KILL THEM.]
corruptedsouls: (There's no time to rest)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Cats! And a Chocobo! Tobias beams a little when he comes in at the sight of all the animals, Pikachu shifting on his shoulders a little with a nervous spark. He comes over when beckoned, sitting next to Grell and reaching over to try and pet the cat in her lap.]

It's not... someone else.

[Sorry, Grell, killing the person who's bothering him involves killing your baby.]

I'm kind of bothering myself.

[That's... a strange way to put it, Toby.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: Hmm?)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2012-12-04 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[The smile that was in Grell's face fades away, and a look of confusion and concern takes its place. She turns to him, crossing her legs in front of her, to give him her undivided attention. Meanwhile, the cat Toby was petting gets displaced and goes to sit next to him.]

What in particular is bothering you, hmm?
corruptedsouls: (Go on and get yourself together)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Did I tell you... what happened before I came here? I can't remember much from the first time I was here, so I don't know if it was the same or not.
redcinemareel: (Grell: srs bsns)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2012-12-04 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You haven't, but I never was one to pry you for information. [Such a tender mind he had. Or perhaps still has.] Are you going to divulge that tale to me?
corruptedsouls: ('Cause now)

1/IDEFK

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yeah.

[He pets the cat somewhat absent-mindedly, looking down at his lap. Whatever it is, it clearly weighs on him.]

When... I got the bracelet, I tried going back to living normally. And it worked for... a little bit.
corruptedsouls: (And if you put the time in)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, people were at least polite to me. I could go home and do things like I did before for a while. I could talk to people, they would talk to me, and everyone was... nice. I thought... everything would be okay. That things would go back to normal and I could forget about everything that happened.

corruptedsouls: (Best bring your best)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
An accident happened. I... I don't remember how, but the bracelet came off in the middle of the city. And... and people remembered what I'd done and how I'd hurt them and others, even if I didn't mean to... and it...

It caused everyone to panic.
Edited 2012-12-04 16:06 (UTC)
corruptedsouls: (You'll find)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I panicked too, and just... ran away as fast as I could. I swam away and found a cave outside of the city and I... stayed there. I was too scared to come out so... I started getting really sick.

Then... Lance came by. He...

[Tobias has been steadily getting more worked up, and now it seems he's having trouble talking for the hitched breathing and fighting tears.]

He... he wanted to... to come help me. He knew I was sick and I didn't mean it, so he came to... to rescue me and take me with him and... and I...
corruptedsouls: (When you leap without a net)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[And now those tears are coming out in a burst. Sorry, kitty, but Tobias is doing the only thing he can think of when he's this upset.

Going right into Mommy's lap to cling.]

I... I didn't believe him and I tried to fight him and... and the bracelet came off and I...

I...

[He's having so much trouble just forming the words. Even now, with help from his family, his own growth...

These words are just so painful for him to say.]

...I killed him...
corruptedsouls: (He'll put you to the test)

8/8

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[And now Tobias can't do anything but cry and shake violently.]
redcinemareel: (Grell: Solemn)

Damn buttons.

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2012-12-04 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Grell listened to his story quietly, watching Toby's body language. She was surprised that such a thing happened. When humans kill, she knows how it can taint a soul. The intensity of that taint depends on the motivations of the human. More than likely, Toby's soul wouldn't be too badly affected.

His mind, however, is a different story.

Stroking his hair gently, Grell comforts him. The cats found another place to rest, while Lark simply snoozes.]

It was an accident. You can't blame yourself for what occurred.

corruptedsouls: (Go on and get yourself together)

They are sneaksy.

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[The comforting does wonder for Tobias and his breathing begins to fix itself as he calms down, at least a little. Really, being curled up against Grell like this alone helps.]

...But it was my fault. Even if it was an accident... if I didn't fight him, he'd... still be okay.
redcinemareel: (Grell: Knows no bounds)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2012-12-04 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I never said it wasn't your fault. But it was not intentional. I'm sure he knows that. [She sighs, rubbing his back gently.] Truth be told, I couldn't blame you for reacting that way. Once burned, twice shy and such.
corruptedsouls: ('Cause now)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-12-04 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...I guess so...

[He falls quiet at that, just sort of burying his face into Grell's chest and focusing on snuggling his mother. Tobias is wearing a fairly light shirt today, so Grell might feel something a bit... off about his back this time.]
espio: (hmm...)

[personal profile] espio 2012-12-04 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Really, it would depend on the circumstances. It's different for things like accidents, loss of control, self-defense and such, but generally? Setting out to deliberately and maliciously take someone's life away would get someone life imprisonment.

What about accidents?
