#24: Photographic evidence

[horrible_phd]

I'm not sure I actually want to know, but did anyone find any pictures of me?

[ooc: One of the following is weirder out of context than the others.  Up for finding by all.  Short post is short, because I wasn't going to post for him, but just couldn't resist. 

ETA: going to bed, will backdate.]

I am interested in social change...

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

That's hardly an answer to my question, you know.

I want to rule the world. There's only a certain number of ways to go about that.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

So you really mean to tell me that you're an evil criminal with plans to take over the world. And that doesn't bother you at all. Is that it?

he so rarely actually gets called on that

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

That's--

The point is--It's better than the alternative!

But...I have been talking to Carl about the while being evil thing and I don't think I have to be evil and I haven't done anything particularly criminal here. Things have been kind of different, here.

Evil is not something she takes lightly

How is evil ever better than the alternative? It's evil!

Honestly, I really thought you were a good person deep down and I've been trying very hard to defend you because of that, but you're really not making it very easy right now.

this conversation will not end well *facepalm*

The alternative is Captain Hammer. And the Evil League of Evil actually accomplishes things, has the power to affect the status quo. There's something seriously wrong with society and it needs to be changed somehow.

Well--well, I don't need you to defend me, anyway!

It had to come eventually? <3

And what makes you think anything calling itself an "Evil League of Evil" is going to change anything for the better? Even if Captain Hammer clearly isn't a reasonable alternative--I can't claim to know what your world is like, but still, there must be a better way.

You said yourself that you don't think you have to be evil, that the City is different. And I don't think a truly evil person would even consider thoughts like that. But if you insist that you are...

absolutely! and now he'll just flail ineffectually

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

It can be used that way. Evil's just...a word and when nothing's meaningful anyway--

I'm not insisting. Now.

Awww, Dr. Horrible~

Evil is not just a word. It's very real and it's very dangerous and it's certainly not something to be taken lightly!

Well, which is it, then? Suppose you had the choice right now, and were absolutely certain of achieving your goals whatever they are either way, so that much didn't make any difference. Would you really still choose to be evil?

[horrible-phd.livejournal.com]

If I could have everything I ever...then, no. I mean, I wouldn't go around eating granola and singing Kumbaya, because that's just not me, but I guess I would be, I don't know, whatever seemed like the best thing.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well...that's good. Because for what it's worth, I really don't think you have to be evil, either. I've met some very evil people before and you're not anything like any of them.
