      Same point there, that Lara has killed before but it hasn't made her "evil". Though Lara has a dark side to her personality, and if that doesn't set off Mags' evil detector, Vinnie doesn't have a chance of it.



    Quote:
    The issue isn't really whether Mags would sense him as evil but whether Vinnie would define himself as evil. He's worried about what Mags would find because he's made a judgement about himself.


I guess someone should tell him it doesn't work that way.

      Good thing disturbing facets don't bother Yuki. She looks forward to them.



    Quote:
    I still think Yuki has a subconscious death wish pushing her to ever greater thrills and danger. After surviving her accident she treats every day like bonus time and spends it hard.


Of course she does. Not that she wants to die, but she's not going to waste her life worrying about it. She figures if she dies doing something crazy, at least it was one hell of a ride.

      Quote:
      Her [Faite's] own version, in her own words, is that it's too late once a soul sees what is beyond.



    Quote:
    Well put.


It sounds almost as if she tried it before and failed.

      Quote:
      Faite would probably do something even more subtle than that, like make sure the merged stones aren't where the Hood left them.



    Quote:
    You realise, of course, that this means war?


Truthfully, Faite isn't worried about anything the Hood might try to do to her. She theorized a long time ago that his retcons and plans might be why she exists in the first place. It *would* explain why she is so hard to get rid of; Logically, he would create a failsafe that even *he* can't get rid of in case a rival manages to kill or vanish him somehow. Because if he can get rid of her, so can someone else.

If that's true, though, he created a monster, because she also has unpredictable motives, a strong will of her own, and a desire to protect the PV even if it's from the Hood.

At the same time, though, Faite is sensitive to the fact that if she irritates the Hood too much, he might take it out on someone else. She did make the "mistake" of forming friendships with mortals, after all. So she picks her battles.

Trying to punch a hole in the Wonderwall is definitely one of the battles she'd pick. She would probably give the Lair Legion priority in beating the Hood, though, because once again...picking battles. If they fail, though, she would do her best to damage the Hood's plans. Hiding the bullet he's been building is a subtle but powerful way.

Faite likes to stick with subtle because she believes direct confrontation - like the Lair Legion does - sparks a never-ending pissing contest between her and everyone with the slightest amount of power. She doesn't want any part of it.
