[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.]

Oh, that's an old favorite of mine. Almost as good as "it wasn't technically illegal" and "I knew someone would do it eventually so I did it first."

I didn't say I was. Just talking about justifications in general. Or excuses, as the case may be.

[ No question in Kitty's mind what she's talking about. So, her immediate response is to let loose with a loud scoff. ]

Yeah? And who do you get to decide what's good for them?
rathercommon: (you need to be punched)

ugh typos

I'm not anyone who does. People decide these things for themselves.

Pro tip, explaining how you know better than everyone else? Is making excuses.
logicunlocked: (Talk it out)

Yes. So does everyone. We're all individuals who see things in a slightly different way. Okay? That doesn't put you in charge of making everyone else see it your way.
rathercommon: (biting head off)

Are you bloody - joking? After we came in, that's when they started being able to choose. And I'm not sure if you noticed, but most of them chose to run very far away from you.

The go-to sentiment of people who can't come up with a better justification. [ said as he gives the camera a little wave. Hey Lourdes. ]

[He has no idea of what's happened. Things have been busy lately; he's been occupied. But that's such a loaded phrase he doubts it implies anything good.]

What did you do?

[Whatever it was, a good time was had by all. Right?]
logicunlocked: (Making a point)

Probably something we can agree on. I don't know details, I'm just assuming.
brushoff: (let's talk about BOOKS.)

Correct. It's amazing how the eventual boredom of your hotel has rekindled my musical spirit.

Of course, the matter of actually finding a piano has been annoying, but I'll make do.
restingstitchface: (Catty)

Life itself is complicated. People just make it difficult.

[They're also unwilling to accept his special sort of help. Fancy that.]

Does it matter? If you wanted to know, you could find out who I am.

[He can't hide his ID, after all.]

I'm certain people here are going to tell me who you are, without talking to me directly. They seem to forget these messages are broadcast publically.

[There's already flies hovering around this post.]
