spam - scott.
[Daneca sits in her room for a while, repeatedly closing her eyes. She keeps hoping that every time she does, the thoughts and memories swirling around in her head will stop and every time she opens them again, she hopes they just completely blip out of existence.]

[But unfortunately, what she's thinking and feeling can't be so easily wished away.]

[On the one hand, she can still feel those distant pangs for Barron. The butterflies she felt in his presence mixed with that sense of calm and security where she no longer had to fear what she was sits firmly in the back of her mind. On top of that, she can still feel the loss. The grief she felt--that other Daneca on that other Barge--is so much deeper than what she felt when she found out the truth of what he did to Cassel. She also feels guilt over feeling any of that, over feeling the way she does about Sam, even about Cassel.]

[But even worse is knowing what she did to Scott.]

[She doesn't know how he's handling the idea of her being an emotion worker. Maybe he's as angry as Sam was when he found out she was without hearing it from her directly. Maybe he's furious about her working him at all. Daneca wouldn't blame him if he were; he would be if the situation were reversed. She doesn't go to Scott out of fear of his potential anger though. She's more concerned that he may still be worked or confused.]

[She's also aware that her secret wasn't the only one put out there for people to figure out or learn.]

[She knocks on his door and waits anxiously outside.]


voice.
So that was a flood, right? I read about them over the network, but I never expected it to be... [Her voice fades a little.] ...Like that.

This might seem like a really stupid question, but how do most of you recover from something like that?
lastrat: (yes and no)

Oh, lucky me. I have a teenaged guardian angel.

[He nods, smiles. He drank a lot, very fast. It makes smiling easier.]

Yes. It could be Cassel.

I'd try to throw him out, too. One doesn't chug a vesper.
lastrat: (without the security)

I suppose I could always resort to giving him bad vodka.

He reminds me of myself some.

Oh, it's terrible. [And he is chortling a little.] You weren't here when we all lost a few years, were you?
lastrat: (took away your fear)

spam.

Thought as much. I doubt you'd still be here talking to me if you had been. [Which gets a pointed tone and pointed look because why isn't he being allowed to stay catastrophically unsober in peace.]
lastrat: (and lets find out what it does)

spam.

[personal profile] lastrat 2014-01-02 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
One wonders why.
lastrat: (for her majesty)

Of course she does. [He exhales slowly, considers taking a bottle of scotch with him back to his room and dismisses the idea. If he's going to face Vesper, he might as well do it semi-sober. Emphasis on semi.

He slides off the stool, feels the absurd urge to reach for his wallet and throw a tip on the bar for a bartender who isn't here. Strange, the things your muscles miss doing.]


I'm off. Don't waste that drink. [He fully expects her to pour it out when he's gone.]
lastrat: (what you see)

spam.

[He half returns it, mockingly, and heads for the door with a surprisingly accurate walk. His motor skills are the very last thing to go, fortunately for him.]

Yes, mum.
