Entry 8: Video, Text

[scentbombed]

[Angua has literally never been in this much pain in her life, and it probably shows. Oh, she's died before, but they were werewolf deaths -- easy, she's realizing now, compared to the real thing. She's in the infirmary, looking pale and strained, one arm wrapped around her stomach. She opens her mouth to speak... and then seems to realize the effort that would take and shakes her head, reaching out to switch to text instead. Hers is handwritten, so it comes slow and unsteady.]

a blow to the head for prefererence.

[19centconstable]

I don't think that would be terribly healthy right now. Or ever.

[scentbombed]

it would be nice to wake up and not

[19centconstable]

And not...what?

[scentbombed]

i forget where i was going with that [Because there are so many ways to end that sentence right now, really.]

have you ever, george?

[19centconstable]

Have I ever hit someone in the head? Well, yes...

[scentbombed]

died, george.

[19centconstable]

Oh. Only at that port where we all became dead. I suppose that's not the same, but I did find it disturbing.

[scentbombed]

it was. it is.

[19centconstable]

Would you like to talk about it?

[scentbombed]

[Yes, but--] i thought i just did.

[19centconstable]

I meant: a bit more than that.

[scentbombed]

don't get killed, george.

how is hofman?

[19centconstable]

That has certainly been a plan of mine.

[Private]

I'm not...entirely sure. I don't quite know what to say to him yet. I know that he wasn't himself, but he did, well, murder people.

[Private]

[scentbombed]

and your sure he wasn't just... taking advantage? [She's trying harder with the spelling, because this is a legitimate work problem and not some personal crisis she doesn't actually want to admit she wants to talk about.]

Re: [Private]

[19centconstable]

I am sure of that. It's just a difficult thing to forgive. And a part of me feels I ought to have kept him safe from all of that.

Re: [Private]

[scentbombed]

do you know how he feels about it? maybe its

I dont know, a push he needed?

Re: [Private]

[19centconstable]

How so?

Re: [Private]

[scentbombed]

maybe he'll have some very strong feelings about it.

Re: [Private]

[19centconstable]

Let's hope they aren't good feelings.

Re: [Private]

[scentbombed]

last time we talked, you were the one konvi telling me how much hes changed.

Re: [Private]

[19centconstable]

That's true. And I do believe it still. I oughtn't to let negative thoughts spoil that.

Thank you for reminding me, Captain. I needed that.

Re: [Private]

[scentbombed]

I dont know if I believe it, but I know you do. stay with it, george.
