Finally voice-testing after catching up for the finale

[likespurple]

First of all, how dare you. Waiting for almost a month while you just run through the whole series. I thought we could host a nice little get-together and get acquainted with everybody but since there are all these different [air quotes for the unfamiliar term] "canon points" floating around, I could see the problem with that. So fine. Waiting.

Waiting for what? For the entire family to fall apart? Where do you get off here? Because I don't get off anywhere! I have to live with this. We all do, except for those of us who aren't--

[Struggling to regain her composure; when she speaks again it is with a little less pain, much more force.] It has been a struggle for months to find peace, and closure, and I just know if any of you creative types are allowed an ounce of control over our lives even that won't last much longer.

If it's all the same to you, Missy, I'm sticking with that pre-series party plan. We can get guacamole, to go with the tortilla chips, and it can seem normal, instead of some sick joke about how different things are from how they used to be.

Excuse the roughness (haven't RPed in 1 year) but you finally tiggered me into making this account

[mrlambert]

Heh. It's almost kind of funny how things can just fall apart like that, isn't it?

Though, to be honest, I don't quite recall any of us being particularly fond of that table-side guacamole.

1/2 (Glad to hear that! I hope you're having fun ^_^)

[likespurple]

Well, of course we weren't, I don't know what crazy entrepreneur thought that was a good idea. Sure, it's eye-catching and all, but that's not how you make guacamole properly, it's not enough time. I'm thinking I'll get it from this much better place that opened a little while after--

[..............

After everything crumbled. Right.]

2/2

[For a moment she flares with anger - then she calms herself with the images she saw on TV not too long ago. Still getting used to this whole muse thing... not sure how it works.]

So was what we all saw on the news, was that all some kind of trick, or... did it, did it actually happen for you?

[mrlambert]

[He emits a soft chuckle, almost nostalgic of the experience.]

Much of it, yes.

[likespurple]

[She mildly boggles a while before giving up.]

...I'm not sure I'm going to get it, you don't have to try and explain. You were always - the best with the plans and everything complicated, Walt.

[mrlambert]

[As complicated as it may or may not have been, he can't help but toot his own horn - even now.]

It was actually fairly basic, but thank you regardless, Marie.

[likespurple]

[She chews on her next few words for a moment, and they come out quieter.]

I... should thank you for something too, I guess. That lottery ticket you gave my sister...

[She doesn't want to say it - doesn't want to give weight to the haunting choice of words Skyler recounted, the men who were responsible for what the authorities found. She shakes her head - no details, please.]

Yeah.

[mrlambert]

[No details. Got it.]

After all the trouble that I've put us through, it was the least that could be done.

I'm sorry.

[likespurple]

That's... one way of putting it. [Trouble. An understatement. But it is in the past. "All bad things"...]

It's kind of a relief, though, to see you again and know you weren't just being controlled by aliens or on a Jekyll-and-Hyde potion or whatever. Does that make any sense or am I just rambling here?

[mrlambert]

You always were good at rambling, Marie.

[He's used to this by now - and it almost feels kind of good to hear her going on and on again. It brings back memories of happier days.]

I understand, though I'm more of a Mr. Hyde than a Jekyll at this point.

[likespurple]

Isn't that how it went? Ugh, it's been so many years since I read that thing for high school - but I think it ends, like, Dr. Jekyll gives everyone his last will and he says that he can't stop himself turning into Hyde anymore and then - the body, both of them - eventually it dies.

[Thoughtful.] "Hydeberg". I should tell a news outlet that.

[mrlambert]

I believe that's how it went...strangely fitting, looking back on it all.

Going straight to the media and telling them that you were recently in contact with a "megalomaniac crystal meth kingpin" wouldn't exactly be a good idea. Especially if the death of said kingpin has just broke headlines across the world.

[likespurple]

Not. Not this, just. Just the pun.

You're right, though. The faster the story fades out of the news cycle, the better it is for Flynn and everyone else now.

[mrlambert]

Somehow, I doubt this will ever fade away completely. But the less he has to deal with it, the better. Jesus, hes probably dealt with enough taunting about this at school already.
