[005] simple as this: I'm in love with the risk; I know what I've done but tell me what did I miss?

[A day or so after he's let out of his room]

[private post to Wanda that really isn't private at all because Richie fails often]

Hey, uh. You know that thing we did? Before? Is there a chance we could maybe do that again sometime?

What?!??!

You're asking me--

In public--

When that wasn't even me--

Oh my gods, What the fuck is wrong with you?

Edited 2011-09-03 14:21 (UTC)

...Of course it was you, who else would it be? And it's not in public, I pushed the thing.

~~So that'd be a no?~~

What's wrong with me? You're the one who started it, how am I in the wrong?

Uh...I'm going to interrupt here. I know you just got here, but did you not notice the floods? People aren't themselves during floods.

[Her voice changes suddenly, almost sounding a little blank. Certainly colder, the panic draining away into something considerably more vicious.]

This is a public post, you incompetent assbag. And the woman who was manipulating you isn't me and isn't here anymore.

Shut up and fuck off. I mean it.

Is he bothering you, Miss Maximoff? [The answer is obviously "yes" but Narvin says it more for Richie's benefit than Wanda's. It is the age-old subtle warning of "people are watching, so don't do anything foolish."]

[Private]
[Narvin doesn't know exactly what happened between them, but since it was mirrorflood, he assumes the worst.]

If he...ah...[how to put it delicately]...knows things about you that he shouldn't and continues to bother you about it...I might be able to rectify that.

If he touches you, I'll kill him. You can watch.

No, people use this flood bullshit as an excuse to take back other shit they do. How d'you expect me to take anybody seriously when they say something knowing they could decide a couple days later they didn't really say it and it's the flood's fault? It's fucking bullshit.

Hey. You started it, even if it was a different you, so don't pin this all on me. I was just asking, you could just say no, you don't hafta bug the fuck out about it.

[Complete with "I AM DOING NOTHING WRONG HERE WHY ARE YOU BEING MEAN" undertone.]

Uh, no, because floods happen at the same time for everybody, and you're either affected or you're not. It's really not that hard to tell if someone's affected. Just back the fuck off.

But they do it all the time. I mean, they don't always say it's 'cause of a flood, but.

Fuck. Floods are announced, it's not like they can say it's the flood's fault unless there was actually a flood, and no, they don't do it all the time. Only when there was a flood.

I didn't say they said it was the flood every time. I'm just saying. People say things and then take it back later and say they never said it in the first place. It happens. You calling me a liar?

No. If it's not a flood, then yeah, call them on it. If they're lying, then call them on it, but floods happen here, and they do effect how people act. It's like if someone released drugs into the air. Yeah, people did crazy things, but they weren't themselves at the time, they didn't go under the influence willingly, and it shouldn't be treated like they were themselves because they weren't.

But, she...

[Fffff. Have a frustrated sigh; Richie is sick of dealing with this already. Normal things-didn't-happen-like-that he can deal with. Announced you-have-to-ignore-things-that-happen-here-because-it-wasn't-supposed-to? He is much less okay with.]

So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

What everyone else does. Keep track of when a flood is going on, and when it is, figure someone might be affected by it.

...Lemme guess. You're a screw.

[There's an acceptance of the advice in there somewhere, really. He just refuses to acknowledge it.]

[Her tone gets even flatter and colder. To anyone who knows Wanda this is something that has never happened before; she sounds like a different person.]

You just humiliated me in front of everyone.

Let me put it in a way that you can't possibly misunderstand. Even if I liked you before, after this stunt I would only touch you to feed your dick into a garbage disposal.

Shut up, leave me alone, and stay away from me.

Yes, he is bothering me.

[private]
If it'll stop him embarrassing me in public and being a giant raging creep, I'm all for it.

No, we'll kill him together. Then I'll give you a drink over his corpse.

What? If you mean a warden, then yeah. If you mean did I screw her, then no, I'm gay.

Sounds like a great plan. [No he won't ask what happened because he'd rather not think about it.] What's his room number?

[Sigh.] I agree with Tony on this one. Who she was then during the flood is not who she is now. From the looks of it, it's quite clear she doesn't want to do... whatever it was you were suggesting.

I'm not saying you're wrong here. Yet. But I'd advise caution.

Are you talking about the private thing? 'Cause I tried to, it just didn't work.

~~So that's a definite no...?~~

Okay, okay, fine. Fuck. You don't have to get so violent about it, I fucking got it.

...No, I meant Warden.

[A scoff]

Well that explains it.

I'm pretty sure whatever you think explains...whatever, you're wrong on.
