“It’s not- don’t you understand? I don’t want to hurt people.”
Might be bad to say this. Now that is the thing to “fix”.
Now she might ask Amy to inflict pure pain, which we just had it confirmed that she can do.
“But we can change that! We’re not so different. You know as well as I do that anything about anyone can be changed if you work hard enough.”
…true. Within reason, I mean. There are some limitations as to what it can be changed to.
“Then why don’t you change? You could be good.”
Ooh, that’s an interesting angle to spin this. I like it.
“I like the other members of the Nine. And I couldn’t make anything really amazing if I was following rules. I want to make something even more amazing than Hack Job, Murder Rat or Pagoda. Something you and I could only make together. Can you imagine it? You could use your power, and then we could make one superperson out of a hundred capes, and all of the powers would be full strength because you helped and we could use it to stop one of the Endbringers, and the whole world would be like, ‘Are we supposed to clap’? Can you picture it?” Bonesaw was getting so excited with her idea that she was almost breathless.
I’m getting Steven Universe flashbacks.
I do like this idea that Bonesaw is not following the rules just so her tinkerish accomplishments can be unlimited by society’s ideas of right and wrong.
The idea of pitting this capeamari up against an Endbringer is also pretty cool – especially because while the idea of taking out one of them is something most people would consider good, that’s juxtaposed with the means and the motive (it doesn’t sound like she wants to take out an Endbringer for the sake of saving lives so much as for the sake of showing off how awesome her paracluster is).
