Dec. 18th, 2013 06:53 pmSo obviously the Admiral is getting into the holiday spirit.
[She skips out on "Hello" and "Hey guys, I'm awake". The former goes without saying, the latter is obvious.]
Last year we got hit with the Christmas storm too. It was nice, though kind of generic -- good food, mistletoe, lights, presents. It's a big holiday in multiple countries on earth, though it doesn't exist in most other cultures so I think it threw some people off.
I guess what I'm asking is, what do you celebrate if you have a winter holiday? Hell, if you celebrate Christmas, what traditions do you have? My kid always got her presents as part of a scavenger hunt, and I once had a friend whose parents, I shit you not, played "hide the pickle" on Christmas morning. It's not what it sounds like.
Also, last year I attempted to explain the stories behind Christmas and had very little success. Please, someone, do it better than I did.

Nov. 13th, 2013 08:13 pm[The Beatrix who comes back to the Barge is not the one who left. Yes, she's the same person; she looks the same, except a bit older. She's rounded the corner into her early forties now, but it's not age that weathered her face. She looks exhausted, ashen-skinned and with dark shadows under her reddish eyes. So many things have changed from the last time she was here.]
Ten years.
[Ten years of monumental changes. She'd gone back; she'd seen Budd dead; she'd blinded Elle and killed Bill. She'd lost her enemies, at least she thought. And she'd gotten the most precious gift imaginable, which hadn't been revenge.
Ten years of motherhood, ten years of hugs and growing pains and tantrums and tears. Ten years of watching the most beautiful little girl in the world grow into a beautiful young woman, bright-eyed with a smile that always dazzled her. Easily the most perfect daughter any mother had ever had.
And then in the last week, it had all changed again.]
Well, I'm back.

Nov. 1st, 2013 07:16 am[Coming out of her first death toll (first real death toll; those times on the Mirror Barge don’t count), Beatrix is in bad shape. Everything hurts and she’s moving much slower than normal, shivering from a cold that just won’t go away. But there are things to be said, news to be shared, and they won’t wait for her to feel better. When the audio clicks on it catches nothing but a breath of air, the sound of hair brushing fabric and skin. Then a throaty voice, hoarse, one straining to sound as normal as possible:]
I want to apologize for everything my other self did. [She pauses; she wishes she could say she’d never done it, but in a sense she hadn’t. She wishes she could say it sickens her to see what her other self is capable of, but all the crimes were those she’d committed before.
Maybe all she can say is that she’ll never do it again.]
I won’t ask anyone to trust me after that. But if any of the people I hurt need satisfaction, whether in the form of words or blood, they’ll have it.
Just make it quick, please. I have unfinished business at home.

We don't have enough food for more than one meal out here. Anyone with experience tracking or hunting game animals, contact me. Some of us need to keep from starving.
[Locked to Inmates]
[She just shakes her head, not damning but definitely not approving either.] Seriously, you guys? I understand your enthusiasm but this is a superpowered circle-jerk of the highest degree.
[Locked to Warden Friends]
[That Look is in Beatrix's eyes again, the kill-or-be-killed cruelty she's fixed on enemies so many times before. She's obviously tense, determined and on her guard even though she's still in the safety of the caves with her sword strapped to her back.]
I'm patrolling the caves and a perimeter around them to help defend against anyone with ill intent and I'd like the safety in numbers from one of you coming with me. You who can't, if you see anything dangerous or meet someone you shouldn't, I'll help. Just contact me and I'll be there.

For anyone who's been exposed, I'm curious as to what the symptoms of infection are. [Because if it's poison chances are she's run into it before. If it's an actual disease, well. Good luck medical people.]
[Student filter – Arya and Lisbeth]
Check in.
