[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.

What was worst?

Most of the personality changes I've undergone made me kind of a mean person, but the worst were probably a couple of ports. One, I got tossed overboard and it turned me into a bad person who was planning to kill a lot of people. I was stopped before I could manage it, but it was really disturbing to me.
Another port, a bunch of us got captured by aliens who made us slaves. I got killed trying to escape.

[Because no one should have to experience how unfun that guilt is.]
Stings, getting killed. Okay now?

27/9/12 01:10 (UTC)Yeah. It hurt at the time, but it doesn't last too long around here. Doesn't even leave you with scars. [Not physical, anyway.]

27/9/12 01:45 (UTC)How? Getting hurt... always leaves marks.

Oh, Cass. [She points to herself, then waves.] Hi.
