nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"
- The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?
But it's there, along with the end of the week.
Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.
Well.
Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.
So what are you doing these next two days?

[ he's just not a girl :( ]
Anyway, it's already better than it was last time, so!!
no subject
[Even tipsy she's starting to pick up on his discomfort.]
Relax a bit, Doctor. People drink to socialize and unwind... is it making you more anxious?
no subject
[ Well, yes, kind of; it's not like socializing is really a thing he does. Most of the few drinks he's had have been with Jade and military higher-ups. ]
Just... slightly concerned about being perceived as weak here, I suppose. Under the circumstances.
[ ...that might have sounded bad ]
Um, not that I'm equating being female to being weak.
no subject
Why not? It's fair enough, really.

Well, I'm a woman, and I'm one of the weakest people I know.
no subject
no subject
[Furthermore, she didn't like the implications that she was weak just for being weak.]
no subject
[ things i did not expect to be doing with saphir: arguing for feminism ]
no subject
[She does not want to give him the whole "borrowed womb" story.]
I'm sure she's a very good, powerful person.
no subject
[ Just goes along with that tense change... ]
...Anyway, if we're both worried about being taken for easy targets, then let's just be careful and do our best to seem indispensable.
no subject
...Makes sense, though. So that's why you asked me for that.
no subject
[ except for Jade, and he works very hard on maintaining that illusion ]
no subject
[She starts to tear up on his behalf again]
no subject
...No, it is, and it's usually fine because I have the only friend I need already.
[ Never mind that that friend had treated him worse than most of his perceived enemies ever had-- ]
But you saw what some of them were considering today -- the possibility of executing someone who hadn't done anything wrong at all.
no subject
... [she calms herself.]
I know... that was wrong. We can't let them do that... ever.
no subject
It's not like I like them either!!
[ and TO BE FAIR he has terrorized perfectly nice people who actually were trying to be his friends because of some paranoid jealousy, though he's still convinced he was right about that ]
If someone eventually kills more than one person, though, even if it's yet another stupid accident, it's going to happen. It's going to come down to keeping the ones who are useful and the ones who are likable, and I only have a shot at one of those things.
no subject
Horse shit.
We kill the people who kill. We keep the people who don't. End of story. No compromise. No excuse... so just don't kill anyone, got it, Doctor? Then, no problem.
