[Mission 007] Video

[genkireaper]

[Coming out of the latest event left Botan feeling almost physically ill. She hadn't been able to react properly to Rachel and Rory's deaths; had actually laughed about it. Between that and everything else she had done... After turning on the PCD, having it propped to stay standing during the recording, Botan walks over to a clear section of floor

Your apologies make you look pathetic.

[Because he has to make sure it's clear...he owes nothing.]

[video -> voice]

[genkireaper]

[Bristles with annoyances before following suite with the voice setting.]

Then choose to ignore it. I don't feel nearly as guilty when it comes to you, compared to others.

[voice]

[pity_bangs]

Pft, woman please. Your blubbering is taking over the feed. I don't know which is more disgusting: your apology or your obvious tears.

[voice]

[genkireaper]

You could have just as easily chosen not to play the video. It's not hard, unless you were expecting something for yourself.

[And shut up. Totally wasn't crying. :x /denies forever]

[Sarah Jane catches that little detail before the girl bows. She's seen Botan's presence on the network from the last week, and understands why the girl feels the need to apologize. She feels similarly.]

The fact that you are remorseful means a great deal. People will know it wasn't truly you doing and saying what you did.

[Video]

[genkireaper]

Still... Knowing, understanding and forgiving are all different things. This is really only the beginning.

[Video]

[got2haveasmith]

Indeed it is. Most of us have a lot to make up for, after this last week.

[Video]

[genkireaper]

I suppose there are some things to be thankful for, that I didn't go about doing, or helping with.

[Like helping encourage the Doctor, or physically helping.]

How much do you have to make up for?

[Video]

[fairymicrowaver]

It's alright, neither of us were being ourselves. That wasn't you.

[Video]

[genkireaper]

Perhaps... I have something more to apologize for, though. For having picked a fight with your brother. Being myself or not...

[Though currently not sure how that turned out, or the injuries on either side. For now, she'll just try to alleviate her own mental tension.]

You sure did pick some strange things as 'selling points' on long term plans.

[Video]

[fairymicrowaver]

...okay, just let him know that.

[Seeing as we don't know, just imagine Dean tenses up about it.]

It wasn't me. That, wasn't me.

[Video]

[genkireaper]

I'll be sure to, when I speak to him again.

[Nods.]

I know. Both of us weren't ourselves in that time. I'm certainly not the type to call myself Lady Death, out of all those things too. If it was us, we wouldn't have done or said any of that last week.

... If it helps, I'm not as young as I look. There's a difference in aging between our kind.

[Because of all the things, the sorta-flirting was probably the strangest thing between them.]

[genkireaper]

[That surprises her a little.]

Someone told you? I thought most, if not all the people that I knew were affected as well. At least the ones I actually get along with.

[genkireaper]

I... wasn't actually being that nice. It seems, event or not, I have a thing with wanting to know about things from other worlds. So it was an info for info sort of thing.

[voice]

[coraltaijiya]

I'm fairly sure we all did things we regret.

[voice]

[genkireaper]

It certainly was one of those weeks, wasn't it?

[voice]

[coraltaijiya]

"One of those weeks" seems to happen periodically... unfortunately.

[voice]

[genkireaper]

Maybe we'll get a break this coming event?

[She sounds oh-so-hopeful on that.]
