Well, I've read Pride's chapter and the end had me laughing a bit, specifically her run in with Death. Throughout the story Pride has been described as being the one on top, the one who never fails, and who gets what she wants. Seeing someone telling Pride to "check herself before she wrecks herself" had me rolling in laughter for a minute.

First off, I don't know why she thought that she was going to be the one to sway Sid. Lust and Gluttony both had the best chances from the get go, so why made her believe that she was guaranteed the win is beyond me. I mean she even had the same chance of getting caught as Greed did- both of their names are used very often in a lot of people's vocabulary.

Still, I have to wonder how the whole system works anyway. Does a little act of a vice guarantee you a spot in hell? With Wrath, Sloth, and Greed it's obvious, but with Lust, Gluttony, and Pride there's a fine line (Envy is somewhere in the middle). I mean with Lust, that's just pure human instinct. If having sex in order to have a family is a sinful act, then all of humanity is doomed. It's just what man was made to do. With Gluttony, come on, what's wrong with trying something new? Expanding your horizons a bit? And with Pride, what's wrong with having a little of it in what you do? (Granted, I don't think that Sid does much to be really proud of. Maybe I just don't see it).

Didn't really notice the virtues appear until pride's chapter, but seeing as how there's an Act 2, I'm only a chapter away. I have to wonder what their mission will be? It's mostly just my own opinion, but after thinking about it, I feel that the roles are switched. The Vices seem more like the angels to me.

Meh, I'm rambling. I'll keep saying what I think as I continue. But now I get to see Envy's turn! (Which I was waiting for eagerly ^^).
