Cally was feeling a bit better about things, thanks to Mac's reassertions yesterday ( Read more... )

Mac, also in slouchy clothes, although hers were a little more colourful, flopped on the other end of the sofa.

"I think I'm still not really awake," she declared. "Got to work on this caffeine dependency."

"Well, I guess I'm just feeding the habit," Cally said, nudging the mug that was Mac's closer to its owner.

"Mmm." Mac eyed the mug for a moment before leaning forward to snag it. "I have no resistance. None."

"I made it just like you like," Cally said. "So I kinda hoped you wouldn't resist, otherwise my work would've been wasted."

"And that would be a tragic waste of both effort and coffee," Mac agreed, sipping at her mug.

"Which would be near unforgivable," Cally said with a nod, picking up her mug to sip at it as well.

"So... about... stuff," she started, trying to be vague to begin.

"... stuff," Mac prompted carefully. "Covers a whole load of topics, doesn't it."

"Yeah," Cally said. "I... you said you wanted to know it all. And I've told you a lot of it, but... I guess telling the facts and telling what it all makes me feel is different, you know?"

Mac nodded, fiddling with her mug handle. "The second one, always a whole lot more difficult than the first," she agreed.

"Yeah," Cally said quietly, taking another sip.

"I... war changes a lot. It wasn't like back at school, how there'd be zombies or snow monsters but everyone would be okay. I was scared then, but... there was nothing keeping me safe, there. Just... hope and wishes that I'd make it through alive. And when I had to fight it... you couldn't think of the Cylons as people. The Cylons, they're the enemy."

"And, having one here in town..." Mac trailed off with a nod. "You're just not supposed to put up with living just down the road from them, I guess."

"It's just... I don't know," Cally said. "Galen said... they were different from the rest. But I don't... I don't understand it."

"Maybe they were different... Just the fact they seem to want to be different, makes that," she said. "From what you've said, I'd say most of them wouldn't care. About anything."

"But... I just don't understand it," Cally said. "They... if they are Cylons, why would they... it's like the craziest double-bluff ever, and I don't know who is who or what matters or anything. And I can't help but feel I've been used and manipulated this whole time."

She drank from her coffee, doing her damnedest not to cry into it.

"You said some of them didn't know," Mac pointed out. "They couldn't have been decieving you if they didn't know, could they?"

victimofcylons October 3 2007, 20:51:58 UTC

"But they... even when all the other Cylons left us alone, they were still with us. Galen, Anders, Colonel Tigh. And they'd been... they all were helping us against the Cylons. The... other cylons," Cally said. "I just don't get it."
