A Series of Unfortunate Events

[ The video feed clicks on to something not entirely clear. A pair of small hands, perhaps? But then it settles and comes into focus with Bennett holding the PCD in her lap, much like the first time she arrived

I don't think anyone volunteered. It just.. is.

He'll probably be back to normal soon. Some people have started returning to normal. But home... [Tenten sighs.] Home would be nice.

[morteanimositas]

I'm wondering why they're called events. Really, I just have nothing better to do.

What's your home like?

[heavenlykunai]

Incidents might be better, except that implies no one is at fault, and the Animus are always glad to take blame.

Life in the village is pretty nice. It's relaxing, and then we get missions assigned. I like working with my team.

[morteanimositas]

I suppose that's true.

I think it's the familiarity I miss. Knowing what I can and can't do. Everything changes here, all the time.

Well, if it's any consolation, it's not going to continue for much longer.

[morteanimositas]

It isn't, particularly.

Topher will be back but I'll return to being damaged. Yay?

[ A sigh and an eyeroll. ]

Thanks for the attempt.

-=No sympathy.=-

You're only damaged if you believe yourself to be. You can still do what you want to do, right? You rose above your adversity, so stop whining about how 'damaged' you are.

[morteanimositas]

Oh no. No no no no. I understand this...moral highroad business of 'you're only as broken as you think' but in REALITY? Broken is broken, damaged is damaged.

This coming from the boy with a metal arm? I don't expect you to get it. No I can't do what I want. I can do what I need but there will always be someone who is better and worse off than I am.

So don't tell me to stop whining, I'll damned well whine if I want to.
