Heather Mason || 18th revelation || [video]

[godsmommy]

[Heather is leaning against a wall in the hallway in F1, in the relative darkness, and she's covered almost entirely in blood, as is the blade of her katana. She's been shot quite a few times, and she looks like hell. It's been quite a while since she's seen any action and her expression is cautiously optimistic

Comments

[truepsychictale]

I am going to be optimistic that we have.

[godsmommy]

Sasha! You made it!

[she was worried all of her friends were dead]

We really kicked ass, didn't we?

[truepsychictale]

I told you I would survive a simple break in.

And I think we did.

[godsmommy]

We did more than just survive. We destroyed those guys.

[she's a little more cheerful about the prospect of having murdered people than a teenage girl should probably be]

[truepsychictale]

We did, so now it might be best if you washed the gore off you.

[godsmommy]

What, don'cha think blood's a good look for me? I was thinking of making it into my new fashion statement, you know?

[she glances down at herself and makes a face]

Seriously though, I'm gross. I guess you're right, I should probably get rid of this crap.

[truepsychictale]

Yes, everyone has been running around with blood on them as if it might be filled with germs and other things.

Also morbidity. I think we all had enough of that.

[godsmommy]

[she grins a little, amused. She'd forgotten about his germ thing]

Awww, c'mon. A little morbid humor never hurt anybody, right?

[sorry Sasha, she's programmed for morbid jokes]

[truepsychictale]

True, but there is a time and a place and levels of sanitary levels we must take into account.

[godsmommy]

[how about every time and every place?]

What? D'you mean I shouldn't be making gross jokes when there's chopped up bodies everywhere?

[truepsychictale]

Correct, and it is mildly disrespectful, we do have the ability yo be the bigger people here.

[godsmommy]

[she makes a face]

Don't you think they kind of started it, by imprisoning us and putting us through all those awful experiments?

[and her hand goes to her hip]

I don't think I care if I disrespect them a little. Maybe you can be mature about this, but I sure can't.

[admitting you have a problem is the first step, Heather]

[truepsychictale]

I've took the time to think about it, and while many of these people maybe have been assholes, we don't know if someone among them wasn't.

I think for every 5 people who knew what they were here for, there might have been one or two who was trying to turn down the fires of hell or just didn't know.

[He remembered one intern who seemed to just be a harmless idiot. And Emmett's doctor from a long time ago]

And still, they are dead now, they are harmless.

[godsmommy]

[being seventeen does not leave a lot of room for gray areas]

So maybe not all of them were evil. Maybe a few of them didn't even know what was going on. But that doesn't mean I regret killing them, because they would've turned on us sooner or later, after they saw what we did to the evil ones.

I don't... I can't think of them as... as people. They killed Usagi. And Siri. They made it so we always had to be scared of losing everyone we cared about.

I think it's really honorable that you can see it from an objective point of view even though I'm sure they took just as much from you, but I... I just can't.

[truepsychictale]

You don't have to regret killing them, just try and show some respect post death. Take morbid jokes away from the bodies and such.

[Sasha shook his head.]

I guess it has to do with levels of interaction one has had with the staff previously. For example, if I saw one member of the staff, I would have no qualms against torturing them.

[godsmommy]

[she sighs a little]

Fine. I guess I'll try not to... make so many jokes. I'm just... I'm awful. I'm not the kinda person who can let things go. I'm the kinda person who has to go and get revenge and then make the worst thing possible into a big joke.

[there's a brief silence]

I guess I never actually met the staff myself. Except when I was... killing them. But I couldn't torture them. I just couldn't. I had to just... pull the trigger once and leave. But I guess that was mostly interns, huh?

You must have a lot of history with them if you'd want to torture them. I mean, you don't torture somebody for no reason.
