[It's evening by the time she comes back here. Things look familiar in the way that they might have been part of a dream, once; cement and steel and dust and grime. She looks at the structures appraisingly, neither pleased nor displeased by them. They're just there. Just something that she might face, soon enough.]

[She's trained already, but she doesn't need rest, so she runs, fast and in as indirect a pattern as she can. Even stopping and starting, dodging imaginary pursuit, she's a blur, her eyes narrowed to slits against the dirt in the air. She learns the feel of the structures as she uses them for leverage when she hits top speed. It doesn't take long, too, before she's climbing, which is slower but not much.]

[Soon enough she finds herself at the top of an abandoned, half-constructed building, only a few stories tall but higher than anything she'd have found in Borogravia but a steeple. She sits with her feet hanging over the edge and considers her options from here. She has made her first decision, and now . . . here come all the rest.]

Well. That was fun.



( ooc; SO i completely didn't do anything with paintball because of work, so feel free to assume anything re: mal being extremely serious about paintball once she actually learned the rules. she was 4th floor, blue team. )
wedonot: (I'm confused. Can I go back to reading?)

[Funny you should mention that. :|]

What do you want to talk about?
wedonot: (Here's how it is.)

This isn't exactly an introduction. [Just saying.]

Recently, during a flood, he tried to kill me and one of my students. Otherwise, we've had a fairly amicable relationship.
wedonot: (Eyebrow.)

Apparently, one where a slight change to our histories turned out to have massive consequences. It's an unfortunately common theme.
wedonot: (Or at home keeping score.)

My counterpart apparently killed his sister.
wedonot: (Fine Erik we'll do it your way.)

[personal profile] wedonot 2013-05-22 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I don't think it was an appropriate response, and I'm tired of being held responsible for the actions of my counterpart, but I understand how devastating it is to lose someone you love.
wedonot: (Oh this is just such a bad day.)

[Is there a verbal equivalent of a shrug?]

It's true.
wedonot: (Ground control to Major Tom.)

It's better to forgive than to hate.

[And this is far from the worst thing that's ever happened to him so. S H R U G.]
wedonot: (Do go on.)

[personal profile] wedonot 2013-05-23 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone. Why?
wedonot: (Aw come on it was fun.)

[Private]

[personal profile] wedonot 2013-05-23 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
I do. I was just curious.
wedonot: (Fascinating.)

It's not a rule, it's just the truth. Hating someone is exhausting, and just gives them more power over you. [And hey, just saying:] Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

wedonot: (This is a totally subtle metaphor.)
