Got a question for the people who've been here for a while.

Actually, for anyone who feels like answering.

How many times has some asshole killed you, and has anyone ever actually done anything serious about it?

Private to B

Hey, are those little fox aliens up for adoption? Or are they more just petting zoo mascots?

[They're cute zappy little shits, and she wants one.]

Spam

[Nancy's around. The easiest place to catch her if you want to talk is up on the deck, where she can frequently be found smoking, at the circulation desk in the library, or in the greenhouse, where she's often watching the scuttling crab apples.]

The same asshole? Or do you count different ones?

Different assholes count.

...It'd just suck even harder if it was the same one more than once.

Only once for me.

I think he was killed for it. Certainly shot. But I don't think that was the intended outcome.

I've only been killed by an asshole once.

The other time was an accident, and he apologized afterwards.

No one's ever done shit about the asshole, and he's never even apologized. I... try not to be angry about it since it's been a while.

Jesus. Is he still here?

[A brief pause.]

How can you not be pissed off about it? [It's half bafflement, half genuine question.]

Yes. I... mostly I avoid him.

[ He has a lot of feelings about it but- ]

There's not much I can do about it. He's never going to change his mind about anything he did to me. And any time I try to talk to him, he gets belligerent so it's not really worth it.

I know my partner attacked him over it. [ And something else that has actually felt worse. ] So someone did do something about it. But nothing- No warden, I mean. And I can't make him regret it. Pretty sure he doesn't see me as a person anyway.

Technically never been killed by a person here, but a manifested nightmare did kill me once.

Like a flood thing? Or something someone called up?

Kinda both? It was happening all over the ship like a flood, but somebody called it up. By accident, mostly.

[Sort of.]

I've died several times, here less so than back where I come from. The only one who has done anything about that is myself.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[A brief pause.]

Wait, you pulled off resurrection back where you came from?

You could say that, yes.

Well, the roller derby team was disbanded.

Shit, there was a roller derby team and I missed it?

Sometimes murder has consequences, and people complain about them.

They ain't ever killed me, an' that seems ta be worse. Like--torturin' someone's not as important as killin' them. It dunn't count.

[He rolls his eyes, unseen.]

Only matters if someone actually dies.

[And even then, Sweeney's always been vocal about his opinions when it comes to the nature of 'punishment' onboard, in that it's arbitrary and generally lacking.]

Shit.

[What do you even say to that?]

Sorry that happened to you.

[NAILED IT.]

Weird line to draw when people come back from the dead here.

They're 100% adoptable. Haven't had a lot of hope for it, since they're so alien to most people's worlds around here, but they're adoptable.

[There's a smile in his voice when he adds,]

You interested?

Yeah, I'm interested.

[A brief pause.]

They're pretty alien to my world, if that's like - something you gotta consider before you let anyone adopt one. But I have a fix for that getting noticed.

It's hard, isn't it? When it seems like there's nothing done to them afterwards to stop them from hurting anyone else, or for... for punishment.

You got that right. We've gotta live with that shit, go through the death toll, and they get a slap on the wrist. Awesome system we have here.

Killed? Try being pulled apart into pieces of yourself until you completely lose who you are, and those pieces being locked inside puzzle boxes people are forced to track down and solve if they want to see you whole again.

Apparently that's worth a lecture and some disapproving looks. If there were any reparations made, I never saw them.

[There's a marked pause before she replies, because on the one hand, that sounds like one hell of an impressive piece of magic, but on the other hand...]

Seriously? What the fuck?
