VORE OR VOTE — SUNHAVEN DISCUSSION

[Luca]

Although Luca wasn't the fondest of the ocean, he had to admit that the sunsets were beautiful. He wandered aimlessly along the shoreline, missing the hiss of the tide as it came in contact with the smouldering pads of his paws. With his powers sealed away there was none of that, only the cold of ocean water and a subtle emptiness beneath his bones. He was already on his way to the tavern for a drink, so it was convenient that Pinch had chosen that time in particular to host a vote. The hellhound stepped closer to merge with the rest of the crowd as it gathered, bringing his wings close to his body and tilting his head at the captain. If brought up later, he would call the distance he'd put between himself and Bakugou unintentional. It was quite obviously not. He wasnt sure who could blame him though, no one liked looking at their mistakes. Instead of focusing on recent events he pricked his tattered ears and listened to Pincher's words, curling his glossy tail neatly around those dainty paws of his. Sunhaven again. Luca wasn't expecting to hear about them again so soon, but he wasn't annoyed by their persistence. If anything he found it endearing, cute.

It was no secret that Luca was perhaps a little too trusting. He had spent so much of his life drowning beneath his hate and his fear, so recently he'd been making an effort to be more open to people. Letting go of that paranoia was hard, but in Luca's eyes, it was so very worth it. Sure he still believed that people were inherently sinful and operated mostly out of self interest, but that didn't stop him from opening his heart to them. If they happened to stab it, well he could handle that. In some ways, a stab in the back was less painful than living in constant fear. Much like in horror movies, the worst part was always the suspense. Perhaps it was because of these beliefs that he couldn't bring himself to agree with his peers. He tapped his paws idly on the ground while he waited for the others to finish, only jumping in during the next lull in conversation. "I vote yes," he said, feeling a little proud of himself for being the first one. "Friends are fun to have for parties n' stuff, and if they turn out to be shitty we can just drop em' and raid em' to get our supplies back. It'll be fun," he said. "Besides, isn't trying them out and dropping them later better than shooing em' away and maybe mising out on a good ally?" It seemed like sound reasoning to him.
