[There's a brief silence when the feed cuts on, and when he speaks, there's a sort of detachment in his voice, a flatness that might be called businesslike were it not for a slight roughness in his tone.]

The General is dead.

[A beat.]

I'll bring him to the infirmary.

[Another pause, where he perhaps considers saying something more. Instead, he ( Read more... )

[Hoffman knows this guy! Kind of! Maybe!]

....You just killed the guy?

[Are you still in the land of crazy, Hoffman? Slade disapproves.]

I did.

expectremorse March 11 2011, 04:45:31 UTC

[He's coming back! Kind of! Maybe!]

...I just killed someone too.

[He thinks, possibly.]

[:|]

Who?

expectremorse March 11 2011, 04:53:56 UTC

Amanda Young.

I lost my temper and I realized that...

[That she and John were right.]

I don't know. I don't know what to do with myself. I thought I had control! I thought...

[he groans] I don't know what to do.

[Sigh, Hoffman. You really are a sad case. brb, privating up this conversation.]

Where are you now?

[Private] expectremorse March 11 2011, 22:30:57 UTC

I'm in the infirmary.

[he laughs] I don't think I'm myself at the moment.

[Private] terminates March 12 2011, 03:10:14 UTC

You'll have to come back eventually.

[Private] expectremorse March 12 2011, 05:12:50 UTC

I don't know if I want to.

I learned I like brutality.

[It comes out of him. He stares for a moment before lowering his head] Power. And I want mine back.

Better to learn it now than to stay in the dark.

You'll have to earn it.

[Private] expectremorse March 12 2011, 06:22:19 UTC

Earn the right to...

[His mind turns this over]

You can teach me how to have that?

[It's like a fix. He's had a taste, now he wants more. Like Amanda wanted heroin, Hoffman's learned he has...a very serious addiction.]

[Private] terminates March 12 2011, 06:25:34 UTC

I can.

[Except, the point of him earning it is NOT treating it like a fix.]

[Private] expectremorse March 12 2011, 06:26:57 UTC

[Hopefully by then he'll have figured it out. That's actually how he was...y'know before things went to shit. As it is, he takes a few moments to compose himself.]

What can I do while I'm healing?

[Private] terminates March 12 2011, 06:30:34 UTC

Don't be afraid to see yourself for what you really are.

[This is important. VERY important.]

[Private] expectremorse March 12 2011, 06:34:13 UTC

[Hoffman's only response is to nod slowly.]

...Thinking about it?

[sometimes he's five. apologies.]

[Private] terminates March 12 2011, 06:42:12 UTC

Acknowledge it.

[Everyone's gotta start somewhere.]
