006; don't mess with the kitty - [public video]

[unweeping_willow]

[Willow's lips pull back into a vampiric snarl, face momentarily filling the screen before she pulls the camera back, and reveals her position - straddling Medusa, following their fight. For those who can tell such things, Medusa's shoulders are dislocated - her legs possibly damaged as well; and most importantly of all, unconscious, not dead.

She barely seems to notice Madame Smudge, now sniffing at Medusa's head; though she's uncertain how the kitten had escaped her room. She's more fixated on keeping on the snarl, glaring into the camera.]

Nobody threatens my cat.

:> no worries

Threats in general are best squelched as quickly as possible.

...You're not mad?

[ a sigh ]

Why would I be? Even if it were my business - which it isn't - recourse to violence is simply a tactic. Not a graceful one. But one nonetheless.

It's a prison ship. [Sometimes a girl needs to establish her strength.]

Re: [private]

[mattersverymuch]

Of course. And one does what one must to survive.

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

Not me I'm worried about.

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

Oh?

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

Not everyone's a vampire.

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

[ dryly ] And what a tawdry existence it is for the rest of us.

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

Mortal existence. [There may be a lot of ways to kill vampires in theory, but compared to humans...]

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

[ Well. For a given value of 'mortality'. ]

And which particular mortal are you worried about?

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

There has to be one? [There could be two; or three people she's worried about.]

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

There's no upper limit as far as I know.

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

...Dun wanna see people hurt.

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

Really? [ This is . . . kind of surprising. ]

Re: [private]

[unweeping_willow]

Yes. [Which wasn't to say she didn't have repeated urges to hurt people - but she didn't do it!]

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

Then you only hurt people who meddle.

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

She threatened my cat. It was... defense.

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

Mm. [ He gets the shape of it now. ]

I heard that you killed quite a few people, once.

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

That was... different.

Before I got my soul back.

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

Did you want it back?

Re: [private]

[unweeping_willow]

Would you? [Even forgetting what she did on the barge, there's the time she killed her parents, the people she rode like ponies, and the various people she tortured just for fun...]

[private]

[mattersverymuch]

Would anyone?

[private]

[unweeping_willow]

[She stayed silent on that.]
