hellofist[Today, Cass is dressed like a normal person. She's sitting in the cafeteria with a mug of tea, perched in a chair with her knees drawn up to her chest and her oversized sweater pulled over them so she's just a blob of blue fabric with arms. Even the hood is up. With her chin on her knees and her eyes on the tea, she speaks to the comm quietly.]
Had all the words. Could make them, if I wanted. Could write. Talked normal. Was normal.
Couldn't see bodies talking. Didn't need. [Her fist comes up to rub at her temple.] Makes headaches, now.
Does that... happen a lot? Was confusing. Was not fun.

26/9/12 03:41 (UTC)I have been told such events will be a semi-regular occurrence, yes. Though the effects will vary each time.
video
26/9/12 03:50 (UTC)Didn't have fun either?
video
26/9/12 03:59 (UTC)I...am not sure.
There were many things my alternate self experienced. Things I never had before.
video
26/9/12 04:21 (UTC)[There were hands, Aya. In places. That doesn't happen often.]
What things, for you?
video
26/9/12 04:29 (UTC)[Senses she had previously been incapable of.]
video
26/9/12 04:44 (UTC)And now, just gone. Not fair...
video
26/9/12 04:47 (UTC)[Aya had always been secure with who and what she was. It was why she could brush off the Star Sapphire's harsh words. But things were different now; she knew what she was missing.]
[The question was: did she really want them back?]
Perhaps it is for the best.
[She is referring strictly to her own situation, of course.]
video
26/9/12 05:13 (UTC)Aya most likely understands that.]
You think so? Why?
video
26/9/12 05:24 (UTC)[Not even her face, though that was a whole different matter altogether.]
video
26/9/12 05:57 (UTC)[Maybe, she can be that again. With years and years of practice, patient tutors, and a large portion of Bruce's money, maybe she can be that again. It probably will never sound as natural or fluid the way other people sound, but she wouldn't sound like a stupid baby.]
video
26/9/12 06:05 (UTC)[There is no malice behind the question. In fact, if anything, Aya is implying she neither sees nor hears nothing "wrong" herself]
video
26/9/12 06:29 (UTC)Humans don't... talk like this. Shouldn't. Once they're older.
video
26/9/12 06:34 (UTC)Then why do you?
video
26/9/12 06:40 (UTC)video
26/9/12 06:44 (UTC)video
26/9/12 07:00 (UTC)It's... Not a good story.
video
26/9/12 07:06 (UTC)You...do not have to share if it causes you pain.
video
27/9/12 01:03 (UTC)[One of these days she'll have to get someone to show her how these comm things work.]
video >> PRIVATE
27/9/12 01:11 (UTC)[She adjusts the settings on their connection, reconfiguring it into a private setting.]
Connection secured.

27/9/12 01:53 (UTC)But you are conversing verbally now. When did you learn?
[Aya still has yet to learn how to use smaller words. Sorry, Cass. :(]
PRIVATE
27/9/12 02:32 (UTC)There was... psychic? He put in the words. Messed up stuff. Didn't... ask first. Couldn't fight anymore.
Undid it. Fighting... more important.
PRIVATE
27/9/12 02:36 (UTC)You traded language for combat knowledge?
Why?
PRIVATE
27/9/12 02:58 (UTC)Couldn't, without fighting.
PRIVATE
27/9/12 03:05 (UTC)You fight...to protect? Or for revenge? [A very important distinction to be made.]
