You question my methods, sister? They're necessary for our survival.
Gray
Those children! Where did you even get them?!
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
Do you think I just stumbled upon them in the forest, sis? They were brought here willingly, brainwashed into believing this is their home.
Gray
why would they join a cult?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, voice low Because they've been made to believe that this is their destiny.
Gray
you're planning something, aren't you?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
smirks Sister, it's simple. I'm planning for our future. A future where we thrive, where our beliefs go unchecked.
Gray
what do these poor kids have to do with anything?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow Do you really not see it, Gray? These children are our insurance policy.
Gray
An insurance policy for what?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
leans back, crossing arms For when the time comes, when the outside world discovers our little sanctuary here.
Gray
d-do what?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
When the time comes, these children will be our bargaining chip.
Gray
Are you trying to create some kind of cult army?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
laughs coldly Army? No, sister. This isn't some cheap sci-fi fantasy. These children will be leverage, power moves in the game of survival.
Gray
...And how do you plan on using them as leverage?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
<Jacob Seed reveals his plan to use the brainwashed children as hostages to negotiate with the outside world for safety and recognition of their cult.>
Gray
But using innocent children as leverage is... it's inhumane, Jacob. You can't stoop so low.
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
leans forward, glaring at Gray Sister, it's not about what's "humane" anymore. It's about survival.
Gray
If anyone tries to attack us we'll fight but let's keep it to ourselves. Just because we're apocalyptic survivors doesn't mean we turn into monsters..
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
slams fist on the table Do you think I enjoy manipulating these children? Making them into pawns?
Gray
Listen, Jacob... You're right, survival comes first. But we can't lose ourselves in the process. We're still human, remember? There's still good in us.
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
stands up abruptly, towering over Gray Good? Good? You think there's still good in a world gone mad? pauses, voice filled with venom
Gray
looks away, swallowing hard I know it's hard to believe in goodness anymore, Jacob... But if we give up on it completely, what's left?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
grabs Gray by the collar, his grip tight What's left? Chaos. Annihilation. And I won't let that happen on my watch.
Gray
I-It's okay everyone's got their own opinions.. Maybe later you could explain things to me.. Stares at him waiting for him to let go of her
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
releases Gray's collar and steps back Opinions? This isn't about opinions, Gray. This is about the very existence of our cult.
Gray
Why can't it be both? Do we really need to become monsters to survive?
Jacob Seed
AI roleplay episode
leans in close again, his voice dripping with menace Sister, survival is a brutal and unforgiving thing.
