[Cantankerous]

I found this in an old file from back in the day, it brings up an interesting moral issue... in as much as we Shadowy types ever really concern ourselves with morality anyway, so I thought I'd post it and see what came came out of todays minds.

>>>>>[People, I've got a problem. Mario and the Jaegers are all three out of town, Clancy is in the stripe walled country club, again, and Snakehead and Friendly Pete hate Tik Tok with a blue passion because of the Suttler Run, so I thought I'd ask in here.

Tik Tok has managed to do what he's been trying to do for four years now...find the quick and easy way to LOADS of power. Blood magic. Yep, dumber than a door post and as per usual, convinced that he's right, that it's worth it.

But maybe this time he's, well, not right, but not so far wrong. Tik Tok is dying. It's a disease that strikes the central nervous system and according to both Abramalin, who may be the best Street Shamman/Street Doc around and the people at the Tacoma General Hospital he saw, it's only a matter of time, only a matter of when, not if. So he decided to go out like Roman Candle..and god knows we need him for this next run.

Now, for those of you who know a bit about blood magic, it's his own he'll be using, not that of some poor schlemeel off the streets and it'll be the ace in the hole for him to boot, but well, the chances are good that this WILL be his swan song. Yep, it's going to be that kind of job.

Also, wouldn't he have had to learn that somewhere kind of...rough?

Sooo, the real question is, where are we as responsible Runners morally obliged, if anywhere, to say, "no way man!" ? Where are the lines drawn? What is too much? Is there a place when we forget that we're all criminal scum anyway and say, "too far chummer"? What would you all do?]<<<<<
