deadliestviper[The feed clicks on, showing B sitting at her desk with a notebook in her hand. Before addressing anyone or even glancing at the camera, she reads from it:]
"Beth Solberg, born Bethany Andrea Tiberman, was a prosecuting attorney from the state of New Jersey best known for her work in a 1996 case against the Lucchese crime family's Jersey Crew. Her tireless work produced evidence that the defendant, the acting capo Tacito Capello, had overseen a large-scale money laundering operation over the last four years. Thanks to Solberg's bulletproof case, Capello was convicted and given thirty-five years without the possibility of parole.
A mere eight days after the conviction Solberg was reported missing by her husband and adult son. A search party was organized and the city combed, but no evidence of the attorney was uncovered until February 1997, when a cyclist on a back road discovered a nude corpse riddled with broken bones. The county medical examiner positively identified the body as Solberg's, ruling the cause of death as a brain hemorrhage due to massive head trauma."
[A beat. Those blue eyes of hers stare right into the camera as she closes the book. She adds only one thing before turning off the feed.]
My name is Beatrix Kiddo.

Losing your touch for what?
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 07:23 am (UTC)Keeping secrets. But the more time I spend here the more I wonder if that even matters.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 07:27 am (UTC)He's not anywhere near socially adept enough to reliably track such things as coping mechanisms and self-pity, though he does still try.]
No one forced you to make this information public knowledge.
...Correct?
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 07:38 am (UTC)Affirmative. It's a gamble, I'm waiting to see if it gets me closer to out of here.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 07:43 am (UTC)I see.
And you no longer fear the consequences of everyone knowing this information. If you ever did.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 07:53 am (UTC)[Besides, it's not as if she publicly outed herself by her nom du guerre.]
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 07:56 am (UTC)[He's only half-decided, himself, still half-convinced this is some kind of test. And he'll never willingly give up information on his unit, anyway.]
You realize that's less improvement and more discarding an obsolete tactical advantage.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 08:01 am (UTC)I know that and you know that, but my warden doesn't know that.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 08:05 am (UTC)[He pauses, reconsidering, then says in a more confident tone.]
Not discarding, then, but adapting a similar tactic.
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 11:37 am (UTC)[Which is not to say that she won't, but she's getting a bit tired of it.]
By modifying my lies, you mean?
[ Private : Voice ]
Date: 2012-10-25 01:23 pm (UTC)[Then, more relaxed again.]
By modifying your strategy. A more believable cover.
