[Since her hotel hostage adventure had gone south, Lourdes has been laying low - not out of a desire to look repentant (she isn't, and she sees no reason why she should pretend that she is), but because she's been sulking. Her powers are gone, which is both horrible and a relief, and she's on probation, which she considers a joke.

But what she's most upset about is that it hadn't worked. She's not at all surprised that she'd been caught, and she'd always figured that it would happen eventually - but before that, when she'd been in the hotel with everybody, it hadn't done anything to make her happy, which had been her main goal in the first place. It hadn't been like Hearst Castle, or even the Horizon. It had been meaningless, just like everything else in the world.

She waits a while before turning to the network. She hasn't actually been planning to address this in any way - not to explain herself, and certainly not to apologize. But one evening when she's sitting around in her apartment, angrily glaring at the tattoo on her wrist, she fires it up and says something on a whim.]


It was for their own good.

[She has no idea how far news of the takeover has spread, or if most of the people who hear this will even know what she's talking about. That's okay. She doesn't care.]

... of course you wouldn't.

If you wanted a party, why didn't you invite imPorts and tell them it would be a long one? And not control them...

[So far, in each of their conversations, this has been where he's backed down. He considers for a moment, and then nods slightly.]

Hit me. Best case, at least then you don't have to deal with being the only one who knows.

Concerned? Hardly.

Curious would be more accurate.

[He is quiet for a moment, leaning back in his chair. It is hard to actually give it the attention it deserves. It's easier to deny it... Because to consider it a truth is bleak, destroys the worth of everything he HAD fought for and against...]

You're sure they're here?
rathercommon: (attentive)

[personal profile] rathercommon 2015-10-04 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. The workers. You made them obey you, didn't you.
timeshares: (Sure... right)

[He looks aside, a little lost in thought for a few moments.]

So. You've just been doing your job, is what you're telling me.
timeshares: (I'll break it down for you)

[The sharp tone WAS good to hear at least. He rubs the side of his face, thoughtfully.]

It might not happen here unless they're brought here somehow.

[And THAT thought worries him, more than almost everything is these days...]

On one hand, things that make my world mine are missing here. So obviously gone that I can constantly feel it. I don't think it's wise to assume anything is an absolute.

On the other hand, it is Earth. Those are humans out there. You've got time to make plans.

Yes. I am an imPort just as you are. It should not be surprising that the Porter brings all kinds.
timeshares: (Aw schucks!)

[He actually looks startled at that. He opens his mouth to say something... starts and stops again... before laughing.]

I'm the worst person to give any sort of advice on that.

I mean, I could tell you what I'd do, but I've made maybe.. what... three good decisions in my life? About three.

I am uncertain as to what your question is inquiring about.

There are no goals for me in this place. It has no use of a Justicar.
