[ kanaya knows she has to make this confession, not that she's particularly looking forward to it. but now that they've put her in solitary, nothing about this punishment has been satisfying. she needs something better.

everyone needs to know, but she doesn't want their pity, and doesn't deserve their sympathy. so. she kind of goes a little too far in the other direction, there.
]

I've been quiet the past few days. I say this not as an apology, because I don't particularly give a shit, but as an explanation. For those who don't know me, my name is Kanaya Maryam, an for the past few months I've been moonlighting as a costumed thug. One might even go so far as to say I was a supervillain.

Shocking, isn't it? I was a bit surprised, myself. [ not that she's going to explain that one. ]

As Hobgoblin, I committed numerous crimes, whether disrupting traffic, harassing the costumed set, playing ghost in a haunted house, other, more serious infractions. Kidnapping. Stalking. And...worse than that. [ her flippant tone cracks, her voice falling low and shaky. ] I've-- I've hurt people. People who didn't deserve it. Innocents.

[ there's a fury brimming in that last word, a self-loathing and shame. she can feel her hands shaking, her knuckles going white as she balls her fists. but they won't see that, it's important that they don't. if they recognize any remorse, it will defeat the whole purpose.

she takes a deep breath, letting it out slowly as she collects herself again.

For all of these things, the most the local authorities have seen fit to do is stick me in a room alone without my powers. Which is really great, I must say. Wonderful to know that we feed and house our criminals when law-abiding residents have no such amenities, especially when they aren't registered! I must say this world's punitive measures are deeply impressive, it truly overwhelms me with compunction, how much softer-handed it is than I expected when I turned myself in. I suppose I shouldn't be really surprised, when the approach to everything is such a joke, such a limp attitude toward justice is at least consistent.

But it isn't real justice. It's a mockery. [ she thinks of terezi, and wonders if she'd be more embarrassed by the meagerness of it, or that kanaya submitted herself willingly. terezi would know what to do here. ]

I'm sure many of you could do better, someone who really believes in the subject, unless you're too stuck in all the nonsense moralizing humans too often preoccupy themselves with. You're heroes. I'm a villain. That seems simple enough to me.

If you want to see real justice done, I'm not going anywhere.

[ No ID printed.

The ire in her voice is strong when Freddie dares to make that comment. ]


Back off, Lounds.

It's sorely tempting.

I offered Kanaya a chance to air her grievances with the world and suddenly I'm the bad guy?

She is not your meal ticket. Take a hike.

[personal profile] redhairring 2015-01-21 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
On the contrary, Lunatic's my meal ticket. Kanaya's just good press.
boobwindow: (shut your mouth)

No, she's not.

If you run a story on her, you will regret it.

[personal profile] redhairring 2015-01-22 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
No I won't. People said the same thing to me about Lunatic, about publishing that information on the Porter, and you know what? I don't regret a single thing of it.

Listen you cow, if you make a spectacle out of Kanaya, then you make an enemy out of me.

Do you really want to go down that road?

I'm not going to let her treat you like this.
boobwindow: (made out with hawkman??)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-01-23 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Don't egg her on, then! She's a selfish tabloid reporter who will probably spread lies about you.

Forget probably. She will.

I don't think so.

[ Sardonically: ]

Well, that I can't help with it being part of the job and all.
boobwindow: (nOPE)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-01-23 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
You're in jail already, Kanaya. That's punishment for now.
boobwindow: (enough with the dick euphemisms)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-01-23 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
And when will it be "enough"?!
boobwindow: (bruce this isn't even your book)

You're probably going to be disappointed.

[personal profile] boobwindow 2015-01-24 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I won't feel too bad when I do.

I'm not going to extend you any courtesy. Any troubles you have? You're on your own.
