[Spam – Backdated to 8/29-9/5]
[The cell was spartan in its trappings, the whole room nothing but cold metal and hard surfaces. It was small, too, hardly large enough to pace from one end to the other, and offered a distinct lack of privacy due to the row of bars separating Beatrix from the rest of the cellblock. It was tedious, cramped, awkward, but on the whole, tolerable. Worse things could have happened, she knew that well. In terms of punishment, a week of solitude below decks was a remarkably light one for a murder.
Murder. When Sarah had described the killing that way Beatrix had bristled a little at the use of the word (as she saw it, killing Cato had been the natural reaction to his attack) but didn't protest it. Slight inaccuracy aside, murder was what she did.
She supposed she should feel some guilt for that.
The guilt didn't come, however. Instead, B only felt a mixture of mundane emotions: exhaustion from the flood, annoyance at her captivity, and a quiet, hidden satisfaction at a job well done.
Zero, she thought, was not having quite the intended effect on her.]
[Video – current]
Guess who's a free woman.
[At this point, there's little else to say. A fairly empty smile crosses B's face before she turns the feed off.]
[OOC: Joint post for Zero and for the Pants on Fire flood!]

Date: 2012-09-07 03:52 am (UTC)You've spent months teaching me how to defend myself, not kill others. You can do that too.

Date: 2012-09-07 04:08 am (UTC)Do you regret killing him?
Spam
Date: 2012-09-07 04:22 am (UTC)She should just be honest and admit her own love of violence played a role in Cato's death. Is there even a point in denying it anymore? Especially to Kon, of all people. Shouldn't he understand exactly who he's been studying under?]
Yes. [She regrets that it happened, at least, and definitely feels sorry for the poor kid. But does she feel bad about it? ...Well, that's why she's in Zero.]

Date: 2012-09-07 10:25 pm (UTC)I knew killing was a bad thing but I didn't fully comprehend why until I experienced it myself. During the last port I died during a gladiator battle. I killed myself to try and save the others.
[There were four of them and only three of them could survive. Kon idly reaches up to rub his neck, tracing a finger along where the scar should be.]
As hard as it was for me to do, I'm starting to think it was even harder on everyone who saw me die.

Date: 2012-09-08 12:36 am (UTC)Seeing a friend die is never easy, regardless of how necessary the death is. [She does her best not to think of O-Ren and Vernita.] Did it get them out?
Spam
Date: 2012-09-08 12:47 am (UTC)[Kon is not oblivious to her hesitation and it worries him.]
Do you think you'll do something like this again? [Watches her intently.]
Spam
Date: 2012-09-08 01:12 am (UTC)Heroic.
Kon, for all his confusion about morality, was still walking a nobler path than she was, but she's gone too far to turn back now.]
Define "like this". [Semantics, technicalities. She certainly doesn't expect to grapple with Cato again or end a minor fight quite so brutally.]
Spam
Date: 2012-09-08 02:25 am (UTC)Back home, people would lie to me all the time. No matter how hard the truth is to hear, I'd rather hear it than be lied to. [His way of saying "please don't lie to me".]
Spam
Date: 2012-09-08 03:05 am (UTC)If the circumstances were duplicated, yes, I could see myself killing him again.

I'll keep trying until something works.
Spam
Date: 2012-09-11 10:43 pm (UTC)[B stiffens when he takes her hand, but relaxes into it and squeezes his back.]
Kon, sometime – and it might not be now – I'm going to have to tell you a little about myself.
