What does it take to join TUBA? I am rather interested in joining. I even have an Idea for a branch that would be a lot of fun!

Or you could come into this dark alley. It’s a fast track to joining. I swear.

I think technically you can be apart of both, but the two organizations have a unpleasant history.

hmmm. what goes on over there that doesn't happen over here?

Science.
Also more members of the DA openly spiking baked goods, but less members of the DA covertly spiking baked goods.

[Devout Pathian]

however most of us have more morals than most members of the DA and we have lots of fun even if it's a bit random. 

[Voidus]

I'm offended! I have plenty of morals.
Morals which I stole from other people, granted, but I have them now.

[Archer he/him]

Imagine the DA and TUBA as two hockey teams. They both enjoy a similar passtime, but each do it a little differently. On occasion, they fight each other. One team is old, so it won some championships in their heyday. The other team is an expansion pack, a team that came out strong (possibly because they're cool like that, possibly because the overlords rigged the process to generate interest). Before every meeting with the other team, the teams get together to talk about the other's flaws. Some people point out their technical flaws, others maintain that their foe is a group of soulless monsters who deserve no mercy! using dramatic partying and the like to convey their message. 

While you can technically help out both teams, their rivalry makes them annoyed when you do that. And anyone who trades teams or betrays the team they're on... is a potato. And potatoes don't win Stanley Cups.

And the Ghostbloods are patiently waiting in the locker rooms to kill people who survived the fight!

That is a really good metaphor

Very well done.

I have to agree with @Leyrann and @The Forgetful Archivist that was a great metaphor. much better than my weak explanation.

[AonEne he/him]

Good metaphor, Archer.

...our hockey team is better, in that we have awesome merch.

Our merch grants superpowers.

[AonEne he/him]

Yes, but only by taking the superpowers from someone else. Ours include interesting slips of paper that come at no cost to anyone else's life or abilities.

That sounds fishy, I don't know that I believe you.

[AonEne he/him]

All it takes to make them is time. And of course, the ingredients in the fortune cookies themselves, which again hurt no one.

[The Forgetful Archivist he/him]

The DA offers transparency when it comes to where they get their ingredients, we of the general public have no clue where TUBA's ingredients come from, for all we know your source is more insidious than the DA.

More insidious than someone’s soul?  I think not.

[Lord Meeker he/him]

I'd have to agree with TFA on this one...

Believe me, you can get much worse then stealing someone’s soul. Much much worse. At least it is possible to regrow a soul.

Sometimes I just get the urge to hug Mac and tell him it'll be alright. Maybe pat him on the head and offer him a cookie. 

But then I remember that I'd probably accidentally impale myself in the process.

The fact that you know much much worse things than stealing someone’s soul, says more about you than about me.

I mean plenty of things are, basic logic can tell you that much.
Like stealing their soul and also all their money. Logical addition of two bad things to make a worse thing.

Yes it might but what does it say about him since he doesn't use those means?

How are you so certain he doesn't?
