-81- [Video]

[greatlightother]

Well, well, well...another day here. [Sveta's in her room, dressed in one of her suits, looking quite professional and well put together. It's a good substitute for leather. She passes by the camera, smiling sweetly.]

Doesn't it get tiring? Doesn't it get so boring to be here? With the days going by so slowly? I've been here long enough to see my friends come and go. Be in and out of comas, and there's really nothing more to be done about it.

[She sits down in front of the camera, completely at ease.] Not that I'm complaining. It's just a statement of fact. You can't trust anyone to stay around. But you really shouldn't. What good are they going to do for you anyway?

[OOC: Yes, this is nanomited Sveta. She's lost all faith in people, and it's allowing all of those squished down things she's been thinking to come out.]

Hm. You like the suit? I thought I might try wearing them again.

AS for the cynicism...well, I think I'm allowed a bit, considering what's happened here.

I always appreciate a lady who knows how to dress, and you certainly do.

It's very understandable, given the circumstances. Though I would suggest that the transience of a thing does not make it any less worthwhile.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

You are simply full of compliments today.

But you don't know the circumstances. Not fully.

[collector]

Not at all. They are mere observations. [Or he's focusing on the trivial to deflect. Sveta wasn't like this even when drunk.]

Doubtless, I am about as ill-informed as it can get.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Allow the bitterness, then. I'd rather keep it.

It's easier that way.

[He needs to talk about something else, so:] Does that mean our side-project is off? Only Agent K was kind enough to offer me a list of non-humans. But I wouldn't dream of holding you to any obligation if your attentions have shifted elsewhere.

Oh, no. Of course it's not.

I just needed a few days to get things straightened out. Your project is a high priority to me. Please don't think I've forgotten.

[He gives himself a brief moment so he can emotionally disconnect. It lets him ignore that sense of unease and become properly pleasant again.]

Please take as much time as you like, Sveta. It isn't particularly urgent, and the Barge does tend to find ways to throw more pressing demands around.
