Voice; @the.boneless Can't hurt feelings when there's none there

[It's the early morning, so early some might still consider it to technically be part of the night. Deal with it, people, he cares nothing about your sleeping schedules. The only reason he's up this early is his left leg is aching and won't stop. Ah, the thrills of having a disease that create brittle bones easily. So he's bored and this is what he's left to do: bug all of you until he can get back to sleep.]

Serious question time. What does a conscience feel like? In detail, if you don't mind. Or, if you're like me and don't have one, what does empathy feel like?

[This has been on his mind as of late. Blame talks with guilt-ridden ex-assassins he's had. Ivar's been thinking a lot about it. He can fake the latter to some degree, but the former has never much bothered him, which does explain why killing comes so easily to him.]

See, that's where everyone else here and I disagree on. Killing someone isn't cause for punishment where I'm from, not always. Life is hard and requires a brutal way to survive. [So the Vikings would murder and pillage to keep their way of life intact.]

Stealing, though, that's pretty bad. I'd never do that. We hang people for that where I'm from. [Mainly because to steal was to condemn a man to possibly not survive if you took what was most valuable to it. The Vikings had skewed priorities when it came to the law.]
