[Sveta's back, friends! She's on the deck, dressed as if going to a ceremony. A long white dress whispers around her ankles and her hair falls loose around her face. She looks as if she had been crying once, but has since brushed it off, revealing only a few faint splotches of red around her eyes. She sets the camera down and takes a deep breath.]

Destiny. We're all supposed to have one, yes? We're all supposed to follow it. But I never knew you could change it.

[She holds up her hands to show them. They're covered in a faint white dust which she brushes off quickly, creating a small cloud.]

Chalkdust. [She gives the camera a very serious look.] It might as well be bloodstains. [She reaches into a small purse and pulls out a cigarette, lighting it quickly. Yeah. Sveta smokes. Enjoy that.]

Fuck them. I'm not going back.

[Private to Ardent]

I can erase Destiny. They asked me to erase the Destiny of a young boy.

[Private to Howie]

I'm back. [A soft laugh.] Obviously. He didn't stop me.

[Filtered to Friends]

Give me tonight. Then tomorrow, get me drunk. Or something.

[[OOC: So. Apologies for the Sveta spam again. BUT...Sveta's had a canon update, yay! The details of that will come later! For now, she's just a little freaked out. Also, feel free to spam if you want. She'll be up on deck for a while.]

Thank you.

But where would you go?

I could go somewhere else, but nowhere has Dwarfish culture and history like I know it. Except the planet where I'm wanted on counts of treason and sedition by at least three societies.

Martha...

[She pauses and then...]

Thank you.

I don't care if they don't know. I don't.

My point is... where is home going to be but... where you just came from?

From a Dark Other to...undetermined. [She took the tea and just stared at it.]

I don't know why. I just know what I'm told.

I don't know!

To... control his will? Remove his choice?

[He thought he got it, but wasn't entirely sure.]

What did Maxim being there mean?

Sorry.

I'm not trying to get at you. I just... it's probably a fair thing to consider, that's all.

To take his choice away, yes. Or to give him the chance to make the choice again.

[She looked up at the mention of Maxim.]

It's a big thing, changing destiny like that. They needed the support...[No, that wasn't the right word.] backing of the Inquisition. [It was a simple explanation for now.]

Not right now it's not. I tried to go home and I got nothing out of it but hurt.

Now I'm back here and...nothing's changed, either. It's all the same. All of it.

What a lovely gown, sorceress.

Aren't we fortunate, returning to the Barge at the same time?

Thank you.

Very fortunate. I'm glad to see you've returned.

I'll have a drink if you'd like. I won't even try to talk to you about it. We could just watch something since I dug out my projector.

Something? What sort of something?

I actually have a number of reels from the 40's and 50's I came across during my search. You can pick something.

Thanks, Doctor. I'd like that.

Thank you as well. Sometimes it just feels more secure to be alone with company.

I know, I know. That's why I'm with a friend tonight and filling my time with friends tomorrow.

I know I need it too, and I'll be glad to have you.

What's happened? What have I missed?

Of course. Let me know if you need anything yeah?

I will, Martha.

[There's a little crack in her voice.] I promise.

Nothing happened while you're away. My inmate and I parted ways, however.
