greatlightother[It sounds as if she's just finished crying. There's a clink as she drops a spoon onto a dish and she finally speaks up.]
I said...I hope it goes down. [There's a nervous giggle.] But I don't know where down is. [Pause as the ship rumbles a bit. She takes in a trembling breath.] Looks like I was right, though.
Who knew that I would have them back? Who knew it would work like this?
I looked out my door today and saw the Darkness. I didn't know that Light Sorceress could curse people like this. Because that's what it is, you realize. It's not a flood. It's not...anything the Admiral has done. Condemn him if you like. It's more futile than usual.
[She turns on the camera. Those mentioned in the post who could see the curse will be able to see the vortex around her, invading her room.Barge magic, yeah]
I almost destroyed Moscow last time this happened. Last time, it was unintentional. Last time, they could talk me down from it and I could be saved from their...alternative method. [A bitter laugh.] Death.
They said once you pick a side that you can't change to the other one. Light to Darkness...all of that. I don't see why. It's so much easier to hate like this, isn't it? When you've been pushed so far, when so many people have kicked you in the face, it's easy to fall.
That's what power is, isn't it, O'Brien? [She reaches forward to turn off the transmission before she starts crying again. Then pauses.]
Someone might want to check on Petronilla. [BECAUSE SHE'S NOT. That's all!]

Please, Sveta, do not hate.

Private
Date: 2011-07-08 05:51 pm (UTC)Aye, then probably. Quite probably.
I will not let anyone kill you, Sveta. I just...cannot, you know.

Date: 2011-07-08 05:54 pm (UTC)But tell the Admiral not to bring me back, Angelica. Tell him. I don't care where that lands me. I'll take my chance with the unknown.

Date: 2011-07-08 06:01 pm (UTC)For the Love of God, Sveta, please do not ask me to do such a thing.
