[ 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.

[He closes both his eyes for a moment, before opening one and looking up.]
This is a pretty shit joke.
permavoice!
no subject
[He thrust his hands up in an animated shrug, his face twisting in bewilderment.]
I mean, if that's what you're looking for, I'm not shy about knocking some sense into you. But this seems like a round about way to ask.
no subject
[ actually, that might have been better, now that she thinks about it. or at least making the confession before she turned herself in. ]
no subject
But that ain't my point. If ya had gone out with a fight, and that was your reasoning from the beginning, I'd get it. Hell I'd even admire it.
no subject
[ is she being facetious? she honestly isn't sure now. ]
no subject
...YOU'RE DAMNED RIGHT, SMART ASS! [Why not?]
Then maybe we could have gotten you whatever kind of jollies you've been looking for and kept you out of the slammer!
no subject
What, you think I wouldn't take both? Sure, I'd let you slap me around whichever way you liked, but then I'd just show right up bloodied and bruised when I asked them to lock me up.
no subject
[Shaking his head as if in denial.]
You can't tell me you did this all JUST to go to jail. Right? What the hell are you thinking?
no subject
Certain circumstances left that my only option.
no subject
What do you think you did that deserves such self abuse?
no subject
And it isn't something that can be simply dismissed by shoving one in a box.
no subject
[A pause.]
...For a week. [Nobody wants to see Cu going through withdrawals.]
no subject
[ she will literally kill someone for a cigarette, and that's only going to get worse as time goes on. ]
no subject
[He frowns. ...Seeming to wrestle with something.]
...Need me to smuggle some to ya?
no subject
[ she regrets saying it as soon as she does. she would definitely love him to smuggle some in to her, but he's not likely to get any chance while she's in solitary. ]
no subject
I still don't see why you're letting yourself be a willing participant. Not sure what you're even hoping to accomplish.
