Hello, this is Carlisle.

I mean, it's not Carlisle as in I'm actually answering you right now, so if you're trying to reply to me at the second, you should probably save your breath because I'm not really here. This is some kind of a recording of my voice, but this is my communicator. I'm going to assume these devices are as common here as they are in other places — not my world, but others, ones more technologically advanced than where I come from— so if you'd like to leave me a message, then you may do so here, or er...

Right. Here is fine. So just leave yo—

( And a minute later: )

Mine helped Faith's burn down two temples. Tried for the clinic as well.

( Which is far better than what it could have done to her friends, but still. )

( Is that really all you have to say, Carlisle? Really? Maybe she's a little too drunk when she texts, even though Faith's revived again. She should, by all accounts, be happy. Be relieved. Be anything but continuing to wallow in the failure that is her own inability to protect the person she cares about most, yet again. Do anything but continue to think about that dark side of her and how easily it came back, how simple it was to snap.

So maybe, maybe she sends things she probably should keep under lock and key. )


That all you have to say about that?

You know Faith died?

( It's strange, how a little alcohol and years of everything building up, months - nearly a year, in fact - of everything this place throws at you, can do to you, enough to fill the rivers until the banks burst and it's all too easy to keep going. )

Watched her die.
Again.

done

Feels like this always happens.
Sick of being unable to protect the people I actually give a damn about.


( She'd be sorry about blowing up your phone, Carlisle, but she's not. )
dedikated: (010)

lemme fix dat real quick.

( There's no answer for a long time.

Actually, there's no answer until the next day, when she wakes up on the clinic rooftop with a stotting headache. And-

Well, okay, that wasn't her proudest moment. Even if it's true, all of it, it's still... She should know better than to dump on people. She so rarely does. Only after too much, and too much to drink. )


Wanna meet up?

( She should work, but not like this. )
dedikated: (007)

that explains why they're friends so aptly

[personal profile] dedikated 2017-02-12 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
( Thank god. )

I'll come to yours. Say... 10 minutes?

( She doesn't bother to answer that text, and in 10 minutes, there's a knock at the door, Kate stood outside, downing a bottle of water as she waits to be let in.

Look, she learned some manners, okay? Or maybe she just wanted to sober up, because those bags under her eyes and her half-undone hair, clearly left in overnight, aren't exactly the picture of someone who's doing well in the aftermath of everything. )

( No one, really. The monsters in this place were never really the worst of it. It was when the gods dug in, dragged out the secrets and the awful things.

(She's still a little bitter about the dreams, even all those months later). )


Hey.

( She doesn't say anything else until she's in the flat, sat down, staring at the cup with her elbows digging into the thighs and fingers threaded together. )

... Thanks.

( It's awkwardly said, but it's said, and that's far more than she'd have done or managed months ago. )

For the tea.

( And for all of that other stuff, too. But the tea, in this moment and time. )

Quiet. ( Faith's a mess, trying to make things better, to make up for her double, crying, spending time out. Kate just drinks until she can stop focusing on the things that happened, on what her double brought to the surface, on watching Faith die. Drinks herself into dreamless sleep that allow her some sort of rest. )

I should have saved her.

( Things that need to come out? That, for one. )
