-81- [Video- Vaudeville act of EVIL]

[greatlightother]

[The screen is filled with Sveta's fingers. Half of them are painted purple. The other half aren't.]

Hmm. What do you think? Should I stay with the purple? [She moves her hand and then glances to someone off screen.] What do you think? [The doctor doesn't wait for a reaction. Instead, she shifts the camera to reveal Angelica, dressed in her finest drag, behind her. The other woman is diligently cleaning a gun, and Sveta really doesn't seem to mind it.] I'll just stay with it. It seems to fit the suit, doesn't it?

[When Angelica didn't give her the attention she wanted, Sveta walks over and sits across from her, putting the camera to the side to show both of them. Sveta's lips adopt a bit of a pout as she addresses the barge.]

You see what I have to work with? A workaholic. No time for fashion advice. [Now for serious business.] Needless to say, the infirmary's closed today. I won't be seeing any patients. Support staff...well, you have the day off. [Have a smile. Angelica finally looks over and, after placing the pistol down, pulls Sveta's legs into her lap.]

Perhaps it best to just avoid the infirmary altogether, unless your wish is to have your skull shot full of holes. [And then the woman lets out a chilling laugh, leaving Sveta to just shake her head.]

Well, [the doctor muttered] I was trying to be subtle.

I like the idea, but it would look better if instead of painting some of your fingers solid purple, you did some kind of paisley design.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll do the rest eventually. Just...not now.

[flashy-magic.livejournal.com]

Maybe a checker pattern.

[cisskabob]

Sveta, what--[well that's a POINTLESS QUESTION]--people need the infirmary. You can't just close it.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Do they? I hadn't noticed. [Giggles galore.]

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

I have noticed that people are much too helpless. They should learn to fend for themselves, lest they become weak.

[toldastory]

No.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, Martha. We'll take care of things here.

[toldastory]

No.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

No? No what, dear Martha?

[toldastory]

I don't care.

[naughtbutlife.livejournal.com]

I know, darling, so perhaps it best if you just take the time and rest now.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

I for one, am feeling much better. Something aboard this fucking boat actually fucking works. Congratulations.

[These nanomites are just super.]

I've been given my orders from the Commander-I'm to help protect the infirmary as well.

[So he can get beaten up by the batkids. :3]

Private

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

I have better things to do than get my hands dirty fighting. You and Angelica can handle that.

Private

[givemeafight.livejournal.com]

Can do.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to give a 'you don't mean this' speech because I can see that you're obviously affected by...by something.

Stop this, Sveta. Before someone stops you.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Stop me, Doctor? Stop me from what?

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

From this.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I'm not doing anything wrong.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

Ah, but you are. You just don't realize it.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Oh, Doctor.

Everything will be fine. You'll see.

[Private]

Just...stay out of things.

Private

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

When have I ever done that?

Private

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I was hoping you would listen to me. Just this once.

Private

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I'll listen to you when you're in your right mind.

Private

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Fine, Doctor. Fine. Believe what you wish.

Just stay out of it.
