Application for Caprica Six, Battlestar Galactica (2003 reimagining)

Nov 28, 2007 20:21

A tall, statuesque woman, so blonde her hair looked to be nearly white and dressed in elegant looking black pants and an equally flattering black halter top, appeared in the Sorting Room. She didn't look confused or disoriented, and she moved with grace and purpose to the table holding the application. She picked up the application and skimmed ( Read more... )

Carrie frowned as she read the application.

"You don't think God forgives sins?"

caprica_6 November 29 2007, 02:31:11 UTC

"God forgives everything, because He loves everyone. But as His children, we must try to be better than we are on our own."

Gaius wandered in and rolled his eyes at her again. She kept her pleasant semi-smile on her face and her eyes fixed on the girl.

carri3_whit3 November 29 2007, 02:33:51 UTC

She grimaced, just slightly. "My experience is, more you push for peace, even if it's just in yourself, more the world pushes back at you. What d'you do then?"

caprica_6 November 29 2007, 02:37:31 UTC

"Sounds familiar, doesn't it?"

"Yes, it does," she said, as much to the girl as to Gaius. Her smile turned sad. "You try to do the lesser of two evils and hope that it's all part of God's plan."

She heard a scoff from behind her, as Gaius had begun to circle. "'God's plan.' You say that like it means something, like you believe it."

"He works in mysterious ways," she said stubbornly.

((Is it okay if Jaime recognizes the signs of having at least a voice that only you could hear? He won't be able to see or hear Gaius or tell if her voice is real, but he can TOTALLY identify. Explanation why goes here.))

Jaime studied the applicant for a moment uncertainly. The application was one thing, but - he knew that scowl, knew the look of someone who was studiously ignoring something annoying. She was the only one there as far as he could tell, but... the scarab was good at hiding too.

"Created specifically to be useful?" he asked, politely but still wary. "Useful to who?"

caprica_6 November 29 2007, 03:11:15 UTC

((Head!Baltar suspicion OK'd by Jaime-mun.))

"To my people. To God." She shook her head, smiling sadly. "Mostly to my people."

Gaius was suddenly by her side, giving the boy a suspicious glare. "Stay on your guard around this one," he hissed into her ear.

bantersucks November 29 2007, 03:24:36 UTC

((Scanning okayed by Caprica-mun.))

Even though Jaime couldn't hear Gaius, he wasn't entirely comforted; while she didn't seem to be putting on an act, the scarab was telling him that she wasn't quite human. Not like that wasn't uncommon around here, but still... He made a face and pointedly ignored the scarab. "What's the difference?" he asked. "Between being useful to God and to your people." People's definition of "God's will," in his experience, tended to seriously differ.

caprica_6 November 29 2007, 03:28:58 UTC

Gaius continued to scowl at Jaime, getting right up near him to take a closer look. Caprica pressed on. "I believe my people have lost their way," she said. "Their goals and what I believe to be God's goals are no longer one and the same."

"Killing and murder are not always the same thing," Crais said with a scowl. "Circumstances matter. That was a lesson it cost me dearly to learn."

caprica_6 November 29 2007, 03:46:49 UTC

"You're right. They're not the same. But it's still taking another person's life from them."

"Except most of the time, Cylons can come back from it," came the grumble from behind her.

insane_mil_cmdr November 29 2007, 03:55:32 UTC

"True. Those that are killed are no less gone." His own voice echoed in his head: I understand you didn't mean to kill my brother. That it was an accident. I realize that now, as I look back and try to understand it all. "But circumstances must factor in to the actions you take against their killers. If it does not...it can lead you down a dark and...treacherous road."

He paused, quirked an eyebrow. "I was raised to be a soldier. Most of my fellow Peacekeepers were quite literally born into the service, and I envied them that. We killed many, many other beings in combat, for no better reason than that those were our orders. By your lights, does that make us murderers?"

caprica_6 November 29 2007, 03:58:21 UTC

She nodded in agreement with his assessment; she'd seen all too well what blind revenge looked like firsthand, in all its bloody horror. She stared him straight in the eye as she answered his question. "It makes me a murderer. I can't speak for you."

Cue the sound of a lone person clapping slowly, unheard by anyone but Caprica.

Mr. Wednesday sauntered over. Did somebody say 'God'?

"Sixes," he mused, looking over the application. "As in cards or as in dice? You could call it 'Boxcars' instead. Double sixes."

No hobo references intended, Scout's honor.

caprica_6 December 2 2007, 04:13:16 UTC

"Neither." A quick glance slightly to his left, a pause, and then a sweet smile as she returned eye contact. "It's a Cylon thing."

callmewednesday December 2 2007, 04:22:36 UTC

Wednesday knew a hell of a lot about everything in the nine worlds spanned by Yggdrasil, from Asgard to Midgard to Hel. It so happened that Cylons weren't among those.

That was a gap in knowledge he'd like to rectify. That's what SHE said.

"Tell me more," he suggested amiably.

caprica_6 December 2 2007, 04:45:50 UTC

Just inside the field of her vision, Gaius frowned. "Well, there's a good chance that by telling him about yourself, he'll stop paying attention. Gods know I did."

Caprica's face stayed pleasant despite that stinging remark. "Among the Cylons those with my particular set of abilities were dubbed 'Sixes.' Thus I'm known as 'Caprica Six.'"

It really was true, from a certain point of view. She just didn't say that all the other Sixes were near-exact likenesses of her, all made from the same template.

Ron had been trying to pay attention, he really had. He felt he was much too old to get all short-circuited over a beautiful woman. The whole thing was pretty juvenile, both for him and the girl. Besides, she seemed real religious, and there was something real shameful about going all creepy over her. So Ron just read the application with a certain level of respect or maturity.

Until he got to 'polygamous'. Hi. And then the application was over. When did that happen? Oh well.

"I'm Ron!" He was Ron.

caprica_6 December 4 2007, 19:54:59 UTC

Gaius burst out laughing. "Oh, how precious."

She once again ignored him and smiled at Ron. "Hi. I'm Caprica."

dungbombsrule December 4 2007, 19:56:16 UTC

Ron just smiled back. Alright, now what?

"So. You probably want a House, right? Got any leanings...? Towards Houses."

caprica_6 December 4 2007, 20:24:33 UTC

"No, I really don't have any preferences. I'm just glad to be here."

Gaius wandered back over, a martini glass in hand and a look of supreme amusement on his face. "Oh, is that all you're going to tell him? Boys his age dream of talking to someone who looks like you. Have a heart. Oh wait, I forgot, you're a machine. No heart to be found."

She wasn't quite able to hide the look of sudden hurt from showing on her face, though she covered it up quickly. "Could you tell me more about them? About Hogwarts?"
