tis_disapproval

And so, I find myself returned to the Admiral's bosom... A scant few changes, here and there, yet still incompetence persists. A situation common to most kingdoms, it seems.

Tell me, am I to expect the same ritual humiliation as persisted during my previous visitation? I have so missed the opportunity to awake and discover I possess another's body or gills where none should be... Still, some prices are worth paying - just. A lesson, I am sure, which shall be sorely tested before my time here is at an end, once more.

[And there it ends... Of course, being Morrigan, she's no idea her Claudia Black-alike voice might be mistaken for certain previous residents aboard ship.]

[She wonders if it's Xen returned, for a moment, but the way she speaks doesn't match up with those memories. Still, it takes her time, because it's been so long. But, eventually, and almost incredulously:]

Morrigan?

From:

tis_disapproval

[And the switch to a visual medium confirms it. Same Morrigan, same clothing. Even the same golden hue in those eyes.]

Morgana...

I would speak of this being a pleasure, but suspect the elapsed time has not proven so for you.

From:

youwillgotohell

[There she is. Morgana hesitates, but eventually turns her feed on as well. She never looked entirely well when she knew Morrigan, but she looks worse now, and older.]

Has it been for you?

From:

tis_disapproval

[A flicker of... Something. Eyes narrow, fleetingly. Curiosity. Times have changed.]

I labour under obligations... Larger than I. Worlds are colliding. Though, whether for good or ill, I cannot yet say.

Tell me, have your abilities waned since last we spoke? I do not believe you ever spoke of the path your training took.

From:

youwillgotohell

I have my magic. [And it gives her comfort, but not much, these days.]

My training was rushed.

From:

tis_disapproval

Rushed, how?

From:

youwillgotohell

I had less than two years instruction. I had to discover a lot on my own.

Tested, that's a good way to put it. Of course, I can understand--he is paying us pretty well. I'd be pretty suspicious if it was easy to get from here to a graduated inmate.

From:

tis_disapproval

'Tis easy enough for some... Many simply refuse on principle.

From:

velocette

Pride, more than principle. Most people don't really give thought to ethics, just to whatever strokes the ego.

From:

tis_disapproval

Perhaps... Or laziness. I remember a charge of mine, while here, who felt spite would propel him forth. An idea I was only too glad to help dissuade him of.

From:

velocette

Spite? [He's pretty tickled by that.] What, he thought throwing a tantrum would get him off of here?

From:

tis_disapproval

'Tis surprising to you?

Ah, well... Reside here long enough and you'll soon conclude otherwise.

Well, aren't you the little ray of bleedin' sunshine. I were just thinking we didn't 'ave enough folks constantly pissing and moaning. Iris Wildthyme. Nice to meet you.

From:

tis_disapproval

[And the switch to a visual medium is made because Morrigan appreciates certain things.]

An almost civil greeting - if not an honest one. Rare qualities, indeed, to be found here.

And you may call me Morrigan.

From:

routemistress

[Iris' expression changes from irritable to wryly pleased; sense of humour detected.]

Oh, I'm not rare, Morrigan lovey, I'm unique. And I think per'aps I were bein' honest about that last part. 'Ow would you feel about meeting up for a drink?

Edited Date: 2013-08-29 10:23 am (UTC)

From:

tis_disapproval

Sceptical... If there is one thing I have come to understand about human society, it's an infinite capacity for foolishness wherever taverns are concerned.

From:

routemistress

Not human, lovey. Though I do enjoy a bit of foolishness with 'em ...on a fairly regular basis, in fact. Well, I daresay we'll see each other around, eh?

[Good luck avoiding it. Iris likes you now.]

From:

tis_disapproval

And now I'm surprised your reputation has not proceeded you... But yes, we almost certainly shall.

[Jean's smile is wry, and she imagines the cut and bruises speak her mind pretty well.]

That hasn't changed, no.

[The switch to video proves it's neither Xen nor any others who shared that voice.]

I hadn't thought it would. Something is either incompetent or prefers the opportunity to have fun at our collective expense.

From:

[It had given her a start, at first, a burst of stunned hope, but the cadence was different enough that she realised. So she's not surprised, when she sees someone entirely different.]

Incompetent or sadistic. Great choices, huh?

From:

tis_disapproval

Even in my own world, this is not an unusual state to encounter...

From:

burnmythoughts

[A wry, thin smile.] Your government's got that covered too, huh? [She knows there are some genuinely good people in the system. She also knows they usually aren't the ones running things.]
