On Purpose

Jan 31, 2011 19:08

[The camera comes on, and he is partially in shadow. Appropriate, really, considering his thoughts.]

I find myself in an interesting position. Not pursued by police, not relegated forever to Arkham. It gives me time to think, to ponder my choices. This is not necessarily good.

[A slight pause]I find myself lacking a purpose. My...traditional one ( Read more... )

Why don't you try developing a cure?

frozendeadinme February 1 2011, 03:25:08 UTC

A cure for what?

[Because, clearly, you can't mean for him. The thought wouldn't occur to him]

battothefuture February 1 2011, 06:14:38 UTC

[But that is exactly what he means, Freeze]

Yourself.

You... don't want to stay that way, do you?

[His frown becomes an angry stare]

Of course I do not! If my condition were reversible, I would have done something about it already. It has infected me right down to my genetic code. There exists no technology that could restore me.

It's possible to find purpose in others... but I'm not sure it's something that other people can provide for you.

This city would be much easier to live in if it were.

That I once had. Here...that is impossible.

Can't you hang out with your friends?

voice frozendeadinme February 1 2011, 03:29:55 UTC

[There is a slight pause before he answers]

There is one major assumption in that sentence that is invalid.

voice tothecloud February 1 2011, 03:40:15 UTC

[ A pause of her own. And then, maybe not quite understanding: ]

What do you mean?

voice frozendeadinme February 2 2011, 22:30:15 UTC

I possess no 'friends', as you put it. Merely those who wish me imprisoned and those who do not.

There is precious little I can do. My...state of being prevents me from taking part in a range of activities.

[He honestly hadn't considered chess]

Chess? Interesting proposition. I doubt I could find a partner, however.

Do you mind if I ask what your traditional purpose was?

[Encrypted, Text] frozendeadinme February 1 2011, 03:33:40 UTC

Why would you need to know?

[But...]

I worked to save my wife's life. She is absent from here, and likely will be forever.

[Encrypted, Text] rossum_ceo February 1 2011, 03:34:45 UTC

I see. She was ill?

[Encrypted, Text] frozendeadinme February 1 2011, 03:36:30 UTC

Her condition was terminal. I preserved her, cryogenically, until such time as a cure existed.

I would pay the price I paid a thousand times over.
