(OM) 10. Telling Lies

[kia_holtz]

Tell a lie.

Just one? I could come up with so many ...

Not long ago, after a day even more brim-full than usual of screaming children, rebellious teens, recalcitrant suppliers and overstressed, argumentative staff, I did not pitch a full-fledged shit fit during which I informed Mark at the top of my lungs that the entire shebang was his to deal

Obviously you only worry about the protection of that battlestar ;)
Whatever else could there be?
*winks*
Of course you don't lie.

Your children. Aw. I'm so sorry.

*chuckles softly* Oh, sugar. I lie like a rug, and you know it.

Yes, I--I try not to dwell too much, but ...

[theladylucilla]

Yay, more Kia. *g*

I liked the reference to her own children.
Indeed, someone needs to be worrying about the Doc.

OOC: (hmmmm ... need an OOC icon now that I've got the space. ;)

It's rare that the show really gets into the overwhelming personal loss every one of the refugees has suffered, simply because it is so overwhelming. But it is always there, even now when it happened 2-3 years ago.

That Kia most definitely does ... even if she doesn't directly admit it. ;)

Oh, wow, what a poignant and heartbreaking reference to the children left behind. Every parent's worst nightmare come true.

And I love the image of waiting for Galactica to appear - for protection. Obviously. Why else? :)

[kia_holtz]

OOC: Why else, indeed. ;) *schnoogles Kia*

I'm quite touched that Kia has developed a small group of fans. Creating her continues to be a surprising and very organic process. I know so much about her that hasn't come out in my writing, but she reveals new information only when she chooses. For example, though I knew from very early on that she lost adult children in the attacks, she's only recently started giving me more details about them.

woe behind.... the lies we don't tell are often the loudest.
