[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.]

Arthas is in a great mood
Date: 2012-09-07 12:17 am (UTC)Spam-couple of days ago.
Date: 2012-09-07 12:59 am (UTC)Wishes that he could blame Beth being in Zero because of something similar, but the last flood only impacted the ship, not their personalities.
Slowly approaches her in the cell and rests his hands on the bar.]
Hey, what happened?
private;
Date: 2012-09-07 01:43 am (UTC)Oh, she can tell!
Date: 2012-09-07 03:02 am (UTC)Spam
Date: 2012-09-07 03:14 am (UTC)It's not much of a story, really. He took a swing at me, I took one back.
Spam
Date: 2012-09-07 03:17 am (UTC)[Pauses, thinking of all of the self-defense skills she knows.] Why didn't you subdue him?
private;
Date: 2012-09-07 03:20 am (UTC)He lashed out at me while I was talking to him. We fought. That's pretty much it.
Spam
Date: 2012-09-07 03:47 am (UTC)When he attacked he challenged me, and I accepted. If someone tries to harm me or mine, I don't generally respond with pleas for clemency.
Spam
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] (first day B is in Zero)
Date: 2012-09-07 04:09 am (UTC)What happened?
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.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 04:38 am (UTC)Surprisingly little. We talked – he insisted that the flood was a game. I told him otherwise and he attacked me. I retaliated with inappropriate force. [She gives a what-are-you-gonna-do? shrug.]
[Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 04:47 am (UTC)[He takes a small step closer to the bars, since she's back nearly by the wall.]
Can you tell me more precisely what you said? Or he said? Just the words "no, it's not a game" doesn't seem like it'd set him off.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 05:03 am (UTC)[She neither shrinks back nor moves forward, keeping eye contact.]
He kept calling the flood an arena and he referred to the Admiral as a gamemaker. I told him what I know, namely that the Admiral is a cunt but he's not playing and neither is anyone else. I guess he decided to test me.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 05:33 am (UTC)But he sighs at B's explanation. It does sound like something Cato might do.]
So you think he attacked you as a sort of challenge? Did it seem like he attacking with intent to kill?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 05:44 am (UTC)I gave him a chance to walk away. He didn't take it.
[Private-Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 06:08 am (UTC)I brought you a book.
[Hoffman studies the cell she's in.] ..been in here way too many times to count.
[Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 06:21 am (UTC)[She leans easily against the bars, smiling.] Do you think it ever took?
Re: [Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 06:23 am (UTC)I was also a vampire in here. [He eyes the bars before pulling his chair closer to sit with her.] It works for some I think.
[The book is a very worn copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair.] Here. your warden didn't bring you anything?
[Spam]
Date: 2012-09-07 06:35 am (UTC)[An old favorite. The sight of the book brings a brightness to her smile and she tucks it protectively under her arm.] I think the silence is supposed to be good for me.

Date: 2012-09-07 02:48 pm (UTC)You didn't like, provoke him or anything?
