what a dark mistake all my life has been [semi-closed]

[circumitus]

CHARACTERS: Rey and potentially-really-pissed-off Friends.
LOCATION: Deck 40, mostly.
WARNINGS: Yelling and cursing and possibly cuddles oh god the horror.
SUMMARY: Rey is terrible. The end.
NOTES: Catch-all log for pretty much anything that has happened after this post.
If anyone wants to do something else for later in the month in regards to the May subplot, I can whip up a super special awesome starter or whatev.
(P.S. I can go either way with action or prose, whichever you prefer!)

There's a somber pause when Rey clicks the communicator off.

She'll deal with the aftermath later. Right now, she just wants a moment of peace.

Thanks to her recon syndrome, those moments are all too rare, because she's alone in an abandoned room on the fortieth floor. Eventually she will leave, most likely take refuge in Sophie's quarters.

For the time being, she'd rather delay the inevitable as much as she possibly can.

Given the situation, that's a blessing. What a fucked up situation this is...

Still, it looks like things are ever so slightly less dire than he'd thought originally.

"Yeah? That's not nothing, I guess."

It's not nothing, she agrees.

"Better than the alternative. Can't foresee imprisonment improving anything, all things considered. And it wouldn't remove the compulsion."

Not without being locked up indefinitely, and isolation has already proven to strain her mental state. It isn't an experience she wishes to repeat anytime soon.

"No, it'd probably make it worse- if you're being used to achieve some kind of goal it's not likely it'd be pleased to find that you've been put out of commission by some meddling fucks."

Sounds like a bad idea, if you ask Levi. Could the facilities here even hold her, with that power...?

[circumitus]

"Would probably just go crazy again, too. Which may be what it wants."

For her to estrange herself from people, be more susceptible to its persuasion. More so than it already had, anyway.

That's not what she wants. That's not what most sane people would want.
