[The communicator switches on and it's quite clear that this isn't an accidental post. But all you get is some scraping, fingers moving over the microphone, shaky breathing that breaks up into quiet sobs.]

I-

[long pause. ]

I...

[and the transmission ends]

[ooc: with the chip back in, Lady is no more. Say welcome back to Grace, everyone.]

no cold-hearted killer, jailbird, dead?, she still remembers, back again

Are you-

[Pause. Uneven breathing - she's trying not to work herself into a fullblown panic]

...are you okay?

a_naked_flame July 8 2009, 20:34:35 UTC
Fine. Fine.

...Not the first time it happened.

...You don't sound okay though.

Mmm.

[That's all she can say. Too much to process.]

I'm sorry.

I'm the one who should be sorry. I did this to you.

Look, doll. You go home with Jackie. You build yourself a good life like your dad wanted.

This is my fault. Don't you suffer for it. Never you.

pfft jailbirds aren't allowed to lock, are they? ladys_grace July 8 2009, 20:45:57 UTC
No... no.

It was my idea. I did this. I... made you.

nooo. They'll just have to talk in code or something ladys_grace July 9 2009, 01:32:50 UTC
But I asked you to help me.

None of this would have happened if it wasn't for me.

a_naked_flame July 9 2009, 01:43:43 UTC
Yeah. You asked. And what I did didn't help you at all.

This ain't your fault, Grace. None of it.

...stop.

I did this a long time before I even met you. If it's not my fault then-

Then it's not your fault either.

Yeah? I did this stuff too a long time before I met you, doll. I enjoyed it and I wasn't even possessed by other-worldly forces, unless you count money. You don't get a name like Killer for making a living planting daisies, toots.

That part of you, it didn't happen to you by choice. You didn't know what you were like with your chip out. That's why the blame is mine.

...we're both just as bad.
