//005// Accidental Voice Post // Shadow in your heart

[politehulk]

No, no it wasn't my fault. It's not - stop saying that!

[you can't hear the other half of this conversation, natch]

Stop it... There's nothing wrong with who I am. There's nothing wrong with me!

[rustle, fumbling around]

Hey! Give that back!

Teddy Altman caused the death of the woman who raised him. Hasn't taken responsibility

[girlwithabow]

...Teddy?

[politehulk]

Poor Teddy, all alone. Do you feel sorry for him?

[girlwithabow]

Teddy, you're going to stop this and you're going to stop this right now.

voice;

[politehulk]

No - stop typing, just -

It's not me, it's my shadow! Okay, that sounds really stupid, but it keeps getting ahold of my communicator and typing things to people.

voice;

[girlwithabow]

Your shadow? Teddy... I never took you for the crazy type.

voice;

[politehulk]

[heavy sigh]

I'm not crazy, it's probably a curse. If it's not I don't know what I did to deserve this.

voice;

[girlwithabow]

Oh, this is one of those curses? Shadows of all things?

You didn't do anything and you know that. You're not anything that thing said you were, other than the obvious. You didn't hurt your mom. Not one bit.

voice;

[politehulk]

I know, I try not to be, and I don't - I don't blame myself for mom dying. But it still won't shut up.

voice;

[girlwithabow]

And you can't exactly avoid your shadow...

Have you tried earplugs?

voice;

[politehulk]

When I cover my ears I can still hear it, like it's inside my head.

voice;

[girlwithabow]

Damn.

What if you sat in the dark? You need light for shadows.

voice;

[politehulk]

I thought about that, but what if that just means it's everywhere?

voice;

[girlwithabow]

Honestly? I wish I could tell you but I understand these weird curse things as much as you do and I hate it.

voice;

[politehulk]

Thanks anyways, Kate. For trying.

voice;

[girlwithabow]

Don't mention it. Who would I be if I didn't try?

voice;

[politehulk]

Just another lazy rich girl?

...that was more the shadow than me. Sorry, I didn't...
