[123] Homework // Voice.

[Apparently, Rex really wants to get punched in the face, so he's posting. He sounds pretty together right now, as he's... LARGELY over his whiny phase. Largely.]Do you know why it keeps happening? The hostile takeovers, the murders, the cyclical hatred? Do you

[Amanda's voice escapes quietly from a nearby cell in Zero. She's been intentionally ignoring him for the past few days--trying to meditate and channel her rage, as John taught her--and hasn't spoken more than a couple times to people over the network. Now, though, she feels she has enough control over herself to talk to Rex.]

Why. [She means why HER, of course.]

[Rex looks over at the other cell, tilting his head a little in thought. He did it for the same reason he injected Hayley, but he doubts Amanda will appreciate that.]

To make you stronger. He [Hoffman, that is, not John.] had too much power over you so long as you felt the way you did.

[Amanda keeps her eyes closed. She can't look at him and remain this calm.]

Hoffman killed my family. They made me strong...John, and Jill. They picked me up when I was a fuckin' nothing, and they made me who I am now.

[She almost said "They made me WHAT I am now." She's already burying that knowledge down deep in her subconscious again.]

You killed the part of me that loved them. You took them away from me again.

I was trying to help-- [He stops, frustrated. Mostly, he's tired of explaining himself after this week, particularly after he just spoke at length about motivations and the like-- even though, to be fair, his speech didn't cover the few friends he'd injected for improvements.] Fine. Then hate me. Just the same way your test subjects hate you.

[Dramatic sigh. And then, in a mockingly sad tone:]

I'm so sorry for anything I might have done that would have driven you to this. Obviously, I was a terrible person. I should have done more. I should have listened to you and...and maybe then nothing bad would have happened. I promise it will never happen again.

But now I will go off and do the exact same thing over again. Because I never really learn. [Chuckle.] I never will.

Would you like a round of applause for that well-acted summary of life on the Barge?

Voice

[inhumandog]

I would, actually.

It might make scrubbing floors more tolerable.

That's all you have? Custodial duty? [SMILEY VOICE.]

Oh god, lolling so hard at Rex's feelings for Crane and Victor. c:

[doctor_j_crane]

[Damn it, Rex. Why do you have to have a point of view that Crane believes himself? You're meant to be crazy and raving, not logical and raving.]

Don't bother trying to explain it, Rex. They're not going to understand.

LOL I'M GLAD BB <3

[stopthat_destro]

[TO THINK, THEY COULD HAVE GOTTEN ALONG.]

It was worth a shot.

The Victor one was awesomely accurate. c:

[doctor_j_crane]

[A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP, LOST TO THE WORLD.]

I don't understand why you bother. Do you really think someone is going to change their views based on what you say?

I love Victor even if Rex doesn't :c

[stopthat_destro]

If even one changes their views, then it wouldn't have been a pointless endeavor.

[gingerspeedster]

...Dude, you need to talk faster. Or else I need a fast forward button, because this whole speech thing just isn't working out for me.

[stopthat_destro]

Why is everything you say riddled with stupidity?

But no, thank you. Thank you for ignoring everything I had to say so you could get a cute little comment in about how slowly I talk. Go the hell away; you're a waste of my time.

[gingerspeedster]

I'll ask the Admiral for a fast forward button and get back to you.

[stopthat_destro]

[Yeah he's ignoring you.]

[stopthat_destro]

She wanted evidence so badly that she did... what? Ask him if he did it, then sent him along his way when he obviously said no? She didn't care enough to look into it; most of you didn't, even though there were only THREE VAMPIRES on the Barge at the time. Whatever. [Lol sometimes he's 12.]

It wasn't personal; I liked Parker and targeted her, too. You were one of the most trusted wardens on the Barge. It was... important to my plans to have you converted quickly; otherwise, you would have been able to effectively mobilize against me.

But I understand your anger. I don't fault you for it.

OH DURR, that last one was public; I forgot Rex has no filters

[stopthat_destro]

Oh, well, I'm glad that's enough to put any investigation to a halt. I'll remember that tactic the next time I murder somebody.

Then go be dismissive. I don't care.
