61 - Video - Bad luck

[ Obviously all of these messages were meant to be audio, because at the moment Steph is changing clothes. Into her batsuit. Let the record show that her bra does not have any bats on it. Her underwear is all up in your faces. ]

[ Private to Elle ]

Hey! Howie sent me. Long story short, I'm on your side and our mission is to keep Sveta alive. And preferably everyone else, but that might be a touch difficult.

[ Private to Dally ]

Inmate of mine! Fallen down any stairs today? Just check in, if you don't mind. I think I'm a few good falls from a broken ankle.

[ Public ]

Okay, so I know it seems bad now, but look on the bright side! I don't think anybody's died. With all the people falling down stairs and burning themselves on the stove, we have yet to have a casualty that I know of.

[ Private to Friends ]

How many times do you think you can fall out of, off of, or over things before you break something? Just so I can keep count.

[ Steph and Gravity already had a long-standing rivalry. Bad luck just makes it comically bad. ]

Wrong.

Braxiatel died in the stairwell.

[Never mind this was part of attempting to fill his own bizarre death wish. Right before the banana peel got him ;_;]

[ Shit. Her cheery facade falters. ]

Okay! New bright side! Only one person has died. Come on, work with me people...

...

I remember when everyone became younger. She was a child. She had wide eyes and her hair was even more pale. O'brien wanted to shape her into his vision, and we had difficulty convincing her to leave his side.

Four inmates. Four of us, banded together and for a day became better people.

People get hurt here. It happens often. But isn't the point what comes afterwards. Once you've been tested, it's how you survive. She apparently didn't survive well, despite all those that stepped forward to keep hold of her. If I had what she has, when I needed it most, I might not be in the position I'm in now.

...But when I was told that my life was better ended, for the good of everyone, I still chose death. [And that's the first time he's publicly come out and mentioned that he had to make that choice.]

I'm just thinking out loud. Ignore me.

You're right, though. This is her test. And call me sentimental, but I think she deserves our help getting through it in one piece. I had help with mine.

You can try. I don't have much idealism left.

It's not idealism. It's just... something I have to do.

[Motherfuckers better be glad that Chromie thinks vengeance is pointless.]

Is he back yet?

He is. I stayed with him until it happened.

[Tiny smile in her voice. TINY. she's trying to be professional.]

Thank you...

How is he now?

Private

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2011-07-11 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
He is himself. While he is doubtlessly uncomfortable, you wouldn't be aware of it.

[:| brax.]

Bring him tea whether he likes it or not, then.
truth_is_cold: (rhade - perk?)

Private

[personal profile] truth_is_cold 2011-07-11 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
I will. [He might bring him booze though.] And if you have the opportunity, he can accept visitors.

Infirmary, or his room?

Infirmary at the moment.
