Please.


I don't want to get hurt again.

Can't NOT tag characters like this with him. Just can't do it.

[no_love_potions]

[Frown.]

You okay, kid?

oh hey Harry

[monachopsis]

I'm...

[Skittish is the best way to describe her reaction to someone asking her... well, anything, no matter how well intentioned. She retreats behind her hair, looking up at him warily.]

-fine. I'm okay.

['For now' is more or less implied, though not outright said.]

Sup?

[no_love_potions]

Cool.

[Not... that he really buys that, but trying to drag it out of her probably won't be terribly helpful.]

Just... you know, if things weren't okay, somebody out there might be able to help out a little.

hooray, more Carries /=3=/

[wantstobenormal]

All they want to do is hurt people.

oh my gosh

[monachopsis]

[...there's another her.

This is so weird.]

I don't know why anyone would think otherwise.

<3

[wantstobenormal]

[Try meeting a version of yourself from nearly forty years ago. Now that was weird.]

They just don't know how mean people can be. Or maybe they like being mean too.

[evilhandissues]

...who's going to hurt you?

[monachopsis]

They already have.

[Her whole life has been one hurt after another.]

And I don't want it to happen again. It's-- I don't want to go through it all over...

[evilhandissues]

Hey, Hey. [Lindsey offers his most sympathetic, most caring look.] It's okay. Nobody is going to hurt you if you don't want them to okay? Nobody is going to hurt you. Nobody here seems ready to let them.

[misfittoy]

[writer's man.] It'd be nice if they could have a taste of that kind of thing right? All these writers?

[monachopsis]

I wouldn't wish it on anyone, no... it's awful.

[Despite what she's done, she's not a mean-spirited sort of girl. It's just not in her.]

But I wish they'd understand that-- that putting people through those kinds of things just isn't right.

you're a good person and you should feel good

[imanapexpredator]

[A sentiment Andrew shares. But instead of vocalizing that he shrugs, voice low.]

They kind of take pleasure in that, unfortunately.

isufakfafhahaha yessssssss

[monachopsis]

They shouldn't, though.

[A frown, slight and barely there, but a frown nonetheless.]

I'll never understand why it's easier to go along with hurting people than to try and help them.

[Even if she currently doesn't have much of a leg to stand on with that.]

[eatthemfirst]

[That's a familiar sentiment.]

...who?

[monachopsis]

Everyone.

[Isn't it obvious?]

[biwinning]

Oh hey, you're that mutant human. That thing you did with the car wath really cool.

[monachopsis]

Uhm.

[Of all the things she'd expected to hear, 'cool' was not in the list of adjectives for what she'd done.]

I-- thank you? I think?

[notmynature]

That bad, huh? [Ellie just tries to examine her.]

[monachopsis]

[A slight nod, hesitant and shy.]

...that bad.

[alearnedinstinct]

It only stops when you make them stop, you know.

[monachopsis]

I know- I know but...

[She curls in on herself, lips pressing together.]

I don't want to have to make them again.

[regner]

Are you alright? Has someone hurt you?

[monachopsis]

...I've been hurt my whole life. It's... more a matter of scale, at this point, miss.

Awww, Carrie. <3

[fezandbowtie]

Get hurt again? Whatever makes you think that? (Of course this is coming from the man who just stumbled out of a blue box.) Oh, well, I certainly won't.

(Not intentionally anyway. Sometimes things happen to people around him, though.)

omg yes

[monachopsis]

It just... it always happens, that's all.

[But- she is a little distracted by the box.]

Did you-- did you just fall out of a phone booth?
