I have a question about what Charles did to you. [A beat.] I mean. For you.

public | voice

[He shouldn't be making this post, probably, no matter how curious he is. He's been weird about his mother lately, and if she starts talking to him he's not sure what he'll do.]

[So he compromises: voice, which is a tell in itself, when he could be using video (he's hiding), but to his credit it doesn't shake, and he doesn't sound afraid. Maybe Sam's out there, or Daneca.]

The Admiral's fucking with us again, I note. If anybody wants to catch me up on the news from Jersey, it's not like I'm doing anything. Otherwise I'll just watch everyone else be super uncomfortable.

What I always do.

[patheticvillain]

Are you sure about that?

[bittersweeter]

Why wouldn't I be?

[patheticvillain]

Because you probably think I'm lying.

I'm not. I'm never coming back. Even if I manage to get out of here, I won't come back.

[bittersweeter]

[That is... not actually what she wants to hear. She's quiet for a while and when she speaks again her voice is soft.]

I'll tell Sam and Desi.

[patheticvillain]

. . . That's it?

[bittersweeter]

What were you expecting? Begging, pleading, crying, maybe? I'm not that stupid little girl your mother cursed anymore.

[It isn't hate in her voice though, it's utter indifference. Which is worse?] The only reason I'll pass along your plans is because Desi deserves it.

[And Lila's family takes care of their own, Desi Singer included.]

[patheticvillain]

[Indifference is far worse than hatred. Cassel allows himself to crumple slightly on the other end of the line, since she can see him anyway.]

[He had wanted her to beg, at the very least. He thinks he deserves that much.]

You've never been stupid.

[bittersweeter]

Fell for you, didn't I?

[patheticvillain]

Yeah, well, maybe my stupid's contagious.

[mistconduct]

So you're Lila.

[bittersweeter]

My reputation as his psychopathic ex precedes me? [PLEASE NOTICE THE EX, CASSEL. But whatever, she's fine with it.]

[mistconduct]

Heavy emphasis on the psychopathic part.

Don't feel bad, though; we all have to be last year's model at some time or another.

[bittersweeter]

At least he's honest. [About the psycho part.]

Are you his replacement Sam?

cw: Chris being an unrepentant misogynist monster

[mistconduct]

I'm nobody's replacement. I'm so kick-ass I don't fit in any of your friendship holes.

Despite how giant your holes may be.

Sluuuut.

lol he's such a boy.

[bittersweeter]

Oh, you went straight to sex.. So you're not the replacement Sam... you're his new girlfriend. That's so sweet.

yuuup

[mistconduct]

I'm a guy, genius.

[bittersweeter]

Yeah? Gosh, I didn't know space was strictly hetero.

[mistconduct]

Christ, you're a vapid bitch.

[godsays]

Do you want to kill him as much as he wants to die for you?

[bittersweeter]

If I wanted to kill him that much he'd be dead.

[godsays]

You like him living more?

[bittersweeter]

Uh, yeah.

He thinks I don't, doesn't he?

[godsays]

I haven't asked him.

[bittersweeter]

I don't want Cassel dead. For the record. I did, with good reason. But it's pointless now, anyway.
