Function (2) - Anonymous Text / Action for Violet City

What do you think is worse:
Someone who hurts other people for their own selfish reasons and admits it?
Or
Someone who hurts other people but says it's for a good cause?

[It's been a long treck to get here, and one can find Red by Sprout Tower just sitting by the water and tossing bread out to the local Duckletts. Two Growlithe and an Electrike are napping around her. They've just finished a long journey so they're allowed to relax.]
[It's a rather peaceful scene, if you can ignore the Kricketot that might suddenly run up to you with its antennae clicking together.]

More common than the people in the first category.

The worst I'd usually come across was... instant gratification, I guess. They wanted something really badly and let that get the better of themselves. It wasn't really for the greater good or anything.
- Starly

Though I haven't come across them here. Not in the same way, at least.
[....he's totally one of those "instant gratification" types.]

[Yeah, that's your new nickname for this conversation.]

[Prrrobably because he strokes their egos because he's an egotistical asshole himself.]
But not all of them.
The morally superior ones have a tendency to get hostile when you point out how selfish their goals are.
A while ago, I had a conversation with a person whose goals were at the expense of everyone else. He didn't take kindly to me pointing out that fact.

Did you get into an argument or worse?
- Starly.
anon text;
[Is this the truth? An actual lie? Somewhere in between? Who knows!]
You could call it an argument.
He'll realize I wasn't lying one way or another.
[You could also call it "getting into a physical altercation with a fifteen year old."]
anon text;
You sound pretty sure about that, Mr. Honchkrow.

Good job keeping your story straight, Greed.]
In his case, his superiority comes from inexperience.
[...that probably doesn't count as a save but okay, good enough.]

His skills were real.

- Starly
anon text;
He was capable of things many people aren't. I'll say that much.
anon text;
Anyway, there were a lot of people like that back where I was from. I wouldn't say their skills really made me too interested in getting to know them a whole lot, at least not the skills alone.
anon text;
At least he's attempting to be more careful.]
It depends on the person. Sometimes, it's skills that make a person unique.
