video

[valr]

[Guess who looks incredibly unimpressed with everything?

If you guessed Kara, you're right! But she's still using video because she wants to prove that she's absolutely fine and not at all troubled by the past few days.]

Hey. I wanna know if anyone actually get hold of the assholes who kidnapped us, and if you did, why haven't you let me had my turn with 'em?

[She wants to know if she can beat the shit out of someone. That would make her feel better.]

And has anyone ever actually asked the government for a power, instead of just accepting whatever random shit they gave you? Thinking about getting a little something extra.

[After seeing people being able to summon weaponry, she wants to do something like that. But she figured she might see if anyone has experience before going to the government.

As much as she's a little loathe to do it, there's one more thing she should say:]

Anyway. [ugh] Thanks to everyone who came looking.

[She'll leave it there, just a little awkwardly, turning off the video without another word.]

[valr]

Good, you're one of the few decent people around here.

[She's all about the compliments today apparently]

[infomodder]

[Ha. Haha. Oh.]

Maybe we'll get some more decent people soon.

[valr]

Then they'd be stuck here too.

[infomodder]

It's not that bad.
I don't think it's that bad.
It's kind of nice.

[valr]

You didn't get kidnapped and made to fight mutant bears and shit.

[kara pls]

[infomodder]

We didn't have the money for summer camp.
Don't feel like I missed out now.
You talked to anyone about it yet?

[valr]

The camp wasn't any better.

[Yes it was just as bad as fighting mutant bears.]

You mean the cops?

[infomodder]

[If he'd gone, he would have ended up with that part of it. Same thing.]

Them for one.
I meant it on a more personal level.

[valr]

Why would I talk to anyone?

[infomodder]

[There's no one quite after his own heart, but that's getting close enough.]

Some find it helpful, that's all.

[valr]

Wait.

You mean like talking to a psychologist or some shit?

[infomodder]

[Some shit is right.]

Camps usually have counselors, don't they? So if it went this bad, I assumed they would.

[valr]

Fuck, Will.

[She's kind of like horrified laughing because really.]

I don't need fucking counseling just because I got kidnapped.

[infomodder]

[Look, people usually ask "do you want to talk about it?" or "are you okay?" but Will is not so good with those questions. At all.]

I'm just trying to be polite. I don't know how shield maidens are with coping or whatever you'd want to call it.

[valr]

There's nothing to cope with. It happened, who cares? I just wanna get my hands on the assholes who did it.

[infomodder]

[He should probably not.]

You seem to care, since you're hellbent on getting the assholes behind it.

[someone might care about her not caring]

[valr]

Wanting revenge isn't the same as needing to cry about it or whatever.

[infomodder]

[This conversation is going to slap him in the face in the future and he'll wonder about how differently it would have gone.]

Still a measure of caring.

[valr]

Does it really matter?

[infomodder]

[Maybe.]

If it doesn't matter to you? Nope.

[Decent???]

[valr]

Good. Didn't want to have to stick you back with the cops that suck.

[dont make her talk about feelings okay]

[infomodder]

I don't really get along well with them, so I'll stay out of that corner. Thanks.

[feelings go away, it's okay]

[valr]

Don't think anyone gets along with them. Just don't get weird.

[by weird she apparently means "suggest she talk to a psychologist about her feelings" because that's super weird.]
