Application for Caprica Six, Battlestar Galactica (2003 reimagining)

[caprica_6]

A tall, statuesque woman, so blonde her hair looked to be nearly white and dressed in elegant looking black pants and an equally flattering black halter top, appeared in the Sorting Room. She didn't look confused or disoriented, and she moved with grace and purpose to the table holding the application. She picked up the application and skimmed

Carrie frowned as she read the application.

"You don't think God forgives sins?"

[caprica_6]

"God forgives everything, because He loves everyone. But as His children, we must try to be better than we are on our own."

Gaius wandered in and rolled his eyes at her again. She kept her pleasant semi-smile on her face and her eyes fixed on the girl.

She grimaced, just slightly. "My experience is, more you push for peace, even if it's just in yourself, more the world pushes back at you. What d'you do then?"

[caprica_6]

"Sounds familiar, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it does," she said, as much to the girl as to Gaius. Her smile turned sad. "You try to do the lesser of two evils and hope that it's all part of God's plan."

She heard a scoff from behind her, as Gaius had begun to circle. "'God's plan.' You say that like it means something, like you believe it."

"He works in mysterious ways," she said stubbornly.

"But how d'you know if it is or not? I mean, the one really big thing I ever did, I was sure I was right. Was the only possible thing t'do, really. But later...now...I look back at it an' I doubt."

[caprica_6]

"I don't know." Her voice was quiet and she dropped her eyes. "I'll never know for sure. Some people twist that message."

Gaius blew smoke at her face. Her nose twitched in distaste. "And you couldn't have realized this before you destroyed Caprica?"

"What did you do, if you don't mind me asking?"

[carri3_whit3]

She shrugged one shoulder, eyes dropped.

"Some people hurt me. A lot. So I hurt 'em back. A lot."

[caprica_6]

"That's how wars are started," she said, her voice sad and barely audible. She hugged her arms to herself before continuing. "Perhaps with the best of intentions, but always destructive. I can't offer you absolution or understanding. I can't understand why I did what I did. But I can tell you what I've tried to do: I've done everything since then for love. Love of a man, love of God, love of Cylons and humanity. All I can do is hope that it's enough, and that's probably the most that any of us can do."

Vote: Hufflepuff

[carri3_whit3]

Carrie nodded. "A friend here used t'tell me things like that too. I think maybe you'd do good in Hufflepuff. Gryffindors, they do things for principles, an' Ravenclaws do things for ideas, an' Slytherins, they do things for themselves. Hufflepuffs, we kinda try to find other ways."

Caprica smiled at the girl and nodded gratefully. "Thank you."

Gaius was back, standing a short distance behind the girl with a martini in one hand. "Lovely. The House for slackers."

Caprica's eyes darted in his direction and then back to the girl. "My sincerest thanks."

Carrie frowned slightly at the shift of Caprica's eyes and turned to look over her shoulder. Finding nothing there, she nodded, and left with a small smile and wave.

"Good luck," she tossed out over her shoulder.
