Twenty-Fifth Stir || [Video]

Apr 24, 2011 15:37

[There... is a lot of shattered glassware and a cowering warp stalker when the PCD turns on. It's like a tornado's blown through the place and rent everything apart. And indeed one has, in the shape of one Severus Snape who's standing in the middle of it all. He actually doesn't look that different from normal, really, except for the fact that if ( Read more... )

[The nightmares, the myriad of types of wounds, the identical remorse of Harry - and of course, her communication with him this morning. It all makes sense.

It takes a few moments, but then her voice is there, low but even.]

It was the Animus. Just... forget about it.

[Though she has little faith that her reassurance will work and she's not exactly sure what to be feeling right now.]

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 24 2011, 23:13:08 UTC

Hardly. For the others, such actions are unthinkable, they have never done such things before so it can be blamed on the Animus. For me, the Animus simply worked with what was already there. I was hardly changed.

[voice/private] coraltaijiya April 24 2011, 23:16:07 UTC

But you were changed.

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 24 2011, 23:20:20 UTC

Only in that my self-control was stripped away.

[Along with the only thing that kept him moral.]

I assure you that if one were to anger me enough, I would not be any different from how I was.

[voice/private] coraltaijiya April 24 2011, 23:27:51 UTC

I don't blame you, or the others, and neither should you.

[Even confined to a hospital bed, she's stubborn as ever. And she's not about to let you take the blame, Snape.]

The fact that you're so obviously guilty over this is more than enough punishment.

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 24 2011, 23:30:42 UTC

It's merely settling the balance, not guilt.

[Liar.]

And perhaps not now since you don't remember.

[voice/private] coraltaijiya April 24 2011, 23:35:12 UTC

[She chooses to ignore that bit.]

That wouldn't change my mind. Believe me, I can pretty much fill in the blanks. [With the clues being all of her injuries.]

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 24 2011, 23:36:55 UTC

[There's a derisive snort.]

Believe me, filling in the blanks is not the same as remembering the experience.

[voice/private] coraltaijiya April 24 2011, 23:41:26 UTC

That may be true, but remembering would probably only serve to make me despise myself... not you.

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 24 2011, 23:43:24 UTC

...For what, exactly?

[voice/private] coraltaijiya April 24 2011, 23:49:46 UTC

For being so weak.

[If she can't even protect herself... how is she supposed to protect her friends? Her brother? How is she supposed to destroy Naraku? How is she supposed to make any kind of contribution to her team? She never realized exactly how easy it would be to kill her individually, and it's hitting her hard. I guess InuYasha is carrying more of the burden than I thought he was...]

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 24 2011, 23:52:17 UTC

You were up against five magic-wielders with no morals.

[voice/private] coraltaijiya April 24 2011, 23:55:01 UTC

Even one magic-user with morals would have done me in... five was just quicker.

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 25 2011, 01:05:10 UTC

It is still uneven.

[voice/private] coraltaijiya April 25 2011, 01:11:03 UTC

So is pretty much every other battle I've fought. In a case of total equality, there would be no victor.

It still isn't an excuse.

[voice/private] snarkypotions April 25 2011, 01:18:04 UTC

Neither is the Animus.
