vacationer: (dark matter)

[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.]

You wouldn't let those people leave.
huntergames: (how does this cloak work even)

It's not fun if you aren't allowed to leave. You controlled all those people.
huntergames: (are you high....)

That's... not a good thing, I think...
huntergames: (that would make me... uncomfortable)

[ She bites down on her lip. ]

They should be able to know the difference. Those people seemed scared after. That's proof enough they wanted to go home.

Says... says...

[ She drags a hand down her face. ]

I'm sure all of us would say so!
huntergames: (errr...)

... 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...

How do you do a party "right"?

When would you have let them leave?

Miss Blouse. You did the hostages a service. Any form of mind control, no matter how slight, shouldn't be taken lightly.

[Harry doesn't know her as he does Sabriel or Peggy, but she displayed excellent training that a spoiled brat shouldn't make her question.]

[ A measured pause. ]

Right... right. [ She repeats it a little louder this time, trying to tell herself this person is right. ] This never had to happen.

And as much as she claims it was for fun, the staff of the hotel went through hell.

You have my gratitude for helping bring an end to it.
huntergames: (mockingwhat now)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-10-11 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
Were you there?
makethman: (to take off your mask)

[personal profile] makethman 2015-10-11 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately. I stopped by the hotel for a delivery at precisely the wrong time, as it turns out.
huntergames: (mockingwhat now)

[personal profile] huntergames 2015-10-12 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Are you okay now?
makethman: (renounce the old ways)

Yes. I was immune to her power in the first place, but no worse for wear.
