1st [ Video / Action ] (Slightly backdated!)

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Well it's been a couple of days since the swear-in, and if Clem was sure of one thing, it was this: She should not have walked home in the rain.

There's a stifled sneeze when the audio function turns on, and a few minutes of silence follow. Finally, a sign of resignation. She's not sure what is the best medicine, and she's trying to remember what it looked like when she last was sick. Halp? SHe's a newbie at this stuff. ]

I... have... a question. [ Someone is going to laugh at her, she feels, but she's going to ask anyway. ]

I haven't ever been to FLorida before, but...has anyone ... [ She stops there, decides not to ask. ]

Nevermind, it's stupid.

[ She'll ask something instead. ]

What would you do, if you got someone killed..?

[ Heavy questions from Tiny McTinyTot. But it's guilt that weighs heavily on her head, and she was curious how other people deal with it. ]

[ ACTION ]
[ OR If you rather, Sniffles McGee, aka Clem can be found departing either a pharmacy or a supermarket, with a small bag of goodies, on her way back to the Government apartments. Feel free to run into her either at the pharmacy or the way home if you would rather! ]

Remember them and their worth in this world.

Move on and survive.

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Survival she has down to an art. It's the moving on part ... ]

How are you supposed to move on?

[ When you're the one responsible for them getting killed? ]

[darwinatrix]

You'd rather be miserable and waste away with guilt? I wouldn't.

People die every day. Dwelling does nothing.

[aggressiveapathy]

Anyone what?

[ Ignoring the last bit ]

[ohmydarlinme]

[ She hesitates for a second. ]

It's stupid.

[ You don't wanna know, really, right? ]

video

[deathline]

[That's heaaavvvy stuff. Shiki decides to humor the little girl though.]

"Got someone killed," or "murdered someone?" I'm guessing you mean the former since it seems indirect.

video

[ohmydarlinme]

The first.. I guess. [ Does killing zombies count as murder? ]

[housenurse]

Are you feeling alright, hon?

Re: video

[ohmydarlinme]

[ She fumbles a bit with the device for a second, her tone cautious. ]

.. I'll be fine. It's just a cold.

[demonspawn]

Hey. You're Clementine, right? Or -- Clem? [ Jenny had referred to her by the latter, but Jenny had a thing for nicknames. ] Are you okay?

permavid

[ohmydarlinme]

[ SUSPICIOUS. ]

... Yes..

[ Eyes narrowing slightly, though the expression loses some of the effect when she abruptly turns her head and sneezes. You saw nothing. ]

Who are you?

[ She'll answer the question about how she is once she identifies this stranger. ]

video

[biotically]

[ Oh, it's that little girl again, isn't it? ]

Did you? [ A pause. ] Get someone killed? I think it depend on the circumstances.

video

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Oh hey, it's the soldier with the big appetite~! ]

... Yes. Why would the circumstances matter..? In the end, they still died, ... right?

[ More than once, too. Although she's a little harder on herself, as far as circumstances - she still messed up and got someone killed. Except for one time when she tried to save them and got them killed. ]

[shittybirthday]

Bit of a heavy question for a kid your age to be askin'.

voice;

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Yeah, WELL. ]

I guess it is, a little. I was just curious.

[acclimatized]

[ that's a heavy question for such a little girl, but he's more concerned with how stuffed up she sounds. ]

Have you got a cold?

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Another sneeze, before she makes an 'uh-huh' kind of noise. ]

I got caught in the rain, the other day.

[ At the time she hadn't really minded - even relished it a little. ]

audio

[brokenteam]

[Mike's communicator is hacked to display the name 'Alex Baker']

I'd try to live on. It can be difficult but you have to try to move past the guilt. [especially when she's so young]

audio

[ohmydarlinme]

[ It's the moving past the guilt she has problems with. ]

Even if they'd be angry with you? I don't think their families would be as understanding.

[ She still remembers Kenny yelling at her. ]

[opticblasts]

You do what you can to make up for it. Whatever it takes.

[ and have totally awkward conversations with their younger, AU self who is present here. ]

video;

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Damn, she doesn't have a younger AU self. Which - to be honest - is probably better. Her younger AU self would probably be a Walker. ]

Whatever it takes...? [ Hrm.. ]

perma audio

[shutupandgetintheanimus]

[That's...pretty heavy, for a kid. At least, it sounds like a kid. He remembers Lucy, how he still feels so incredibly guilty over what happened, even if...]

I guess that depends. What happened? [There's not even a hint of judgmental tone to his voice. Just concern.]

perma audio

[ohmydarlinme]

[ She has heavy thoughts. But yes, she does sound like a kid no matter how tough she tries to act. ]

.. someone made a mistake.

[ Well to be fair, they made several mistakes. And that someone was her. ]

voice

[dissemble]

[That's a loaded question, small child.]

You either deal with the guilt, or it ends up killing you too.

Re: voice

[ohmydarlinme]

[ Yes; yes it is, tall person. And well, she doesn't want to get killed by her own guilt~! ]

Deal with the guilt.. like just... [ Oh what are the words. ] Knowing it was your fault and promising not to make another mistake again?
