89 - Voice

[Intended to be private to Kirk, but is of course completely public. TYVM BARGE.]

[This is posted in the early hours of the morning - four or five AM. Shego's voice is hoarse and whispery - she sounds completely unlike herself. And she's freaking out a bit. A lot.]

I. You. You need to -

- I don't know, I know there isn't anything, I -

- you need to do something. Help me - kill me - I don't care, I am not doing this again, I can't, I won't -

[There's a screech of static and the line cuts out.]

[OOC: What's going on here? She's suffering two death tolls at once - being decapitated by Buffy, and the horrible uber-Death Toll suffered by those who ventured into the engine room during the Dead In The Water event last year. Which was so bad that she pretty much committed suicide-by-Joker for the sake of a hard reset. It didn't work. I....needed to break out the big guns to get through her foot-thick layer of apathy. :V

Edit: As of a couple of days after this has been posted, it and all replies to it have been retroactively made private.  People who replied to it can still see it, but nobody else.]

I do yoga, but I dunno that I can take the idea of you doing yoga.

I've done yoga for years, Sister. It's important to keep your body functioning at a high degree of suppleness.

[She's going to go back to this in a few days and be genuinely surprised this whole conversation wasn't a hallucination :c]

I - I know. That was probably more important in my job than yours.

[It is a little surreal :c]

I don't know. My job involved a lot more dancing than you might expect.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I -

I thought your job was subjugating the workforce or something.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Yes. There was a lot more dancing in general than there is here.

...

Oh, you're from one of those kinda places.

Huh. I never knew that about you.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

What kind of places? People dance in all kinds of places, Sister, I've seen them doing it on television.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

I kinda thought you meant 'dancing in general' like how Judas and the bat kid came from worlds with a whole bunch more 'singing in genera' than there is here.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe I did come from a place like that, but it's different to the singing. Singing all the time gets in the way of doing normal things, and it always seems like everyone has to stop and pay attention to it, and it's just awkward, Sister.

Dancing in general is just a better way of moving from place to place. I used to do it here, but... I phased it out a few years ago. Mostly.
