103 - Voice

[gotgreenmagic]

[24 hours after death-by-Kirk, Shego sounds....Death Toll-y. Her voice is scratchy and muted like she's recently had her throat cut, because....she has.]

I guess that's one way to get back on board early.

[She laughs hoarsely, but it's a 'if I don't laugh I'll cry or possibly throw up' laugh.]

Feels like I still have my heart. And my skin. I guess you guys lose.

[A pause, like she's making an effort to remember something important.]

Check in, guys.  [Screw you she's not doing a friends filter.]  Has anybody heard from Cissie during all this?

[OOC: Forward-dated to shortly before the end of port.  Open to Infirmary spam since she's not going anywhere for the next day or two at least :c]

"What have normal people got against Paris? The Admiral can do 'nice' just fine, he just doesn't want to."

[captain_jtkirk]

"All the more reason to steal control from him for a while."

[gotgreenmagic]

That logic probably wouldn't have felt so unassailable if she wasn't death tolling. "Fine. But I'm driving."

shit i really want this to happen now :c

[captain_jtkirk]

"Fine by me. I can sleep in the chair."

yes :cc

[gotgreenmagic]

"Maybe I'll just leave you behind to babysit my Inmate. Assuming I ever get one."

lol sorry i hit post too early

[captain_jtkirk]

"You wouldn't. I am the life of the party."

Re: lol sorry i hit post too early

[gotgreenmagic]

"Says the guy who's gonna be sleeping in the chair."

[captain_jtkirk]

"I gotta rest up. Or how else am I going to fight off the sea monsters and killer jelly fish?"

[gotgreenmagic]

"Obviously. I mean, why didn't -" She cut herself off for a coughing fit. "Why didn't I think of that?"

[captain_jtkirk]

That sobered him up a little, as their ridiculous scheme had distracted him from the Death Toll just enough. "You should rest."

[gotgreenmagic]

"...okay." She squeezed his fingers lightly, then drew her arm back in. "You should too."

[captain_jtkirk]

"I will." Or he'd just stare at the ceiling or wall or something for several hours and never be really sure if he ever fell asleep or not. "That was month number two by the way."

[gotgreenmagic]

"God. It really was." The progress of their relationship was just going to be marked by awful things happening, apparently. "Happy anniversary, honey. Maybe we should just have dinner next time."

[captain_jtkirk]

Jim laughed under his breath, as it hurt to do use his lungs for a real laugh. "It'll probably be poisoned."

[gotgreenmagic]

She smirked. "Maybe just spend that day in separate rooms, not talking."

[captain_jtkirk]

"I'll send Aristotle over with a card."

[gotgreenmagic]

"Sounds like the safest bet we're gonna get, Jim."

[Tim just tugs over a chair and sits. Stop trying to sit up, you look miserable. :c] What happened?

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

[She is miserable. :C]

...Jim and I killed each other. He'd fallen overboard, hunted me down, I shot him, he threw a knife at me before he checked out. That's what happened.

Re: spammm

[peektuttut]

[Yeah that is the worst news, and at first, he barely reacts. It was obvious she'd died, but. Jesus Christ, he can imagine worse ways to go, but not many.] Fuck.

[Tim lifts his head, looking around for Kirk and - oh hey, right next door. Awesome. He hesitates, then reaches for her hand.] You okay?

spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

[She doesn't really respond to that, but she doesn't withdraw her hand when he takes it, either.]

No.

[Maybe in a day or so she would have been up for lying, but not now. Like he'd believe her anyway.]

...I know I'm selfish. [Her voice is flat.] Ninety per cent of everybody else here? I might be over it already.

spammm

[peektuttut]

[He wouldn't have believed anything else, really. He's just worried that this will dissolve into 'Shego can't sleep, Shego starts thinking picking fights with murderous inmates is a good thing' again.]

I wouldn't be. [And what the hell, Shego.] How does this make you selfish, exactly?

spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

[She half-shrugs.]

I think you're meant to care about killing someone no matter who it is.

spammm

[peektuttut]

I'm still not sure how that makes you selfish. [He is so glad he didn't get off the boat, but he is hating himself for not going.] Did you see Amber at all?

Re: spammm

[gotgreenmagic]

'If it's my boyfriend's life it's more important'? I think maybe that's a little off-message. [She rubs at her temple.] No. Not that I was looking or anything.
