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!]

You're a monster! You should have your powers stripped and be put under somebody just like me. You're a danger to everyone and you need to get sentenced!
[STATIC]
Oh God. This bitch is a Warden. And she's going to kill us all.
[throaty sobbing]
I hope they do kill you!

Date: 2011-07-08 06:17 pm (UTC)Someone has to stop her! [Sobbing. Wanda doesn't even sound like she's near the communicator anymore. There's a rattle and a few heavy thumps.]
I thought the Wardens were the good guys around here!
Private
Date: 2011-07-08 06:22 pm (UTC)At this moment, I am more worried about you. What's happening?
Private
Date: 2011-07-08 06:35 pm (UTC)[Deeeeep breath. The static lessens slightly.]
This black stuff's infected me...my powers. The energy's all stained, and I can't control it. I'm powerless. I can't go fight her and make this stop.
I don't want to die because some crazed black magician is having a bad day!

Date: 2011-07-08 06:40 pm (UTC)There are two things I can offer you. Firstly, I can take you to the Enclosure, or ask your Warden to do the same. You will be safer in an open space, and you will pose less risk to others.
Secondly...I don't like to suggest this in circumstances that have come about through no fault of your own. If you are worried that you are a threat to yourself, Level Zero will neutralise your abilities.
Private
Date: 2011-07-08 06:57 pm (UTC)M...maybe...I mean, I just have to be away from where I can hurt people. Tony and I went into the CES to practice...
[But the mention of Zero makes her start crying again.]
Please don't put me in a cage. If Zero neutralizes powers then she's the one who should be down there.

Date: 2011-07-08 07:10 pm (UTC)And nobody will take you down against your will, not for this. I'm sorry to have upset you, Wanda. Speak to Tony. Ask him to take you to the CES - or I can accompany you there now and ask him to join you.
Private
Date: 2011-07-08 07:31 pm (UTC)[She tries to stop thinking about Sveta and the possibility that they may all die.] Just...gotta focus on keeping myself in control.
I...I'll contact him and go down there.
Thanks, Iroh. I'm sorry I shouted.
Private
Date: 2011-07-08 07:35 pm (UTC)Is there anything I can do for you?
Private
Date: 2011-07-08 08:05 pm (UTC)I...I just made a suggestion to the Sarge. Maybe if this woman starts trying meditation she'll start to get out of the bad headspace? It's a thought. You'd know better than I do.

The light that's put out as a byproduct of using my power is stained with black now. I think I should just not use them. I won't go around accidentally hurting people just because I got upset.
Thanks for checking in with me, Doc. I hope you're okay.

If you can keep your powers under control, you can stay in the infirmary with me until this is taken care of. At least you won't be alone.
