Hey, it's Annie, you know what to do.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

From:

questionsonly

Yes, because you called an adult.

[ A bland, empty tone. Polite but... nothing more than that. ]

How can I help you, Annie?

From:

allgotrabies

[She won't roll her eyes this time. Because she's an adult and not sniping now, Warren.]

I think a lot of wires got crossed last week. Like we were saying the same things to each other and then just saying them louder.

Here's what I know. You don't want anything bad to happen to Jacobi. I don't want anything bad to happen to my people. I don't want to hurt Jacobi. You don't want him to hurt my pack. Stop me if I'm wrong. [And for the love of God don't text it to her.]

From:

questionsonly

[ She's the one who started with assuming he'd ignore her like a teenager. Not a good look to start, Annie. ]

Yes, you're missing a few pieces: I don't want anything bad to happen to anyone. I don't want to hurt you, or your pack. I don't want Jacobi to hurt anyone, including your pack.

If you can't believe that? Then I don't see how we can talk.

From:

allgotrabies

I do believe that. You aren't the one who hurt all those people, Warren. And I don't blame you for things he's done, and I don't think I made that real clear last time so I wanted to now. I meant what I said...I know what it's like to love someone when half the world wants him dead. [And when he maybe deserves it.] I believe, all the way through, that you're doing your best with this.

You know I've tangled with your pack before, right? Before the Barge.

From:

questionsonly

You mentioned.

Which is why I had no intention of involving my pack. Lark or Iris.

Even though I'd argue that it's not the same pack. any more than the Ship of Theseus. is the same ship.

From:

allgotrabies

[Quiet, a little flat, because she has no idea what Theseus is. Does the Barge have a name? Is that what the Barge is called?] The leaders are who make it the same. If we were at home, one of our packs would be dead by now.

But we're not home. So I want to know how confident you are that he's not going to hurt anyone else.

I reject that idea. For a variety of reasons. But. that's hardly the point. Like you said: we're not at your home.

Why do you want to know?

From:

allgotrabies

[Well this time she can't suppress the ironic snort. Of course he does. He's arrogant enough to think he knows how this all works.]

Why? Jesus Christ. Why would I want to know if there's a bomb about to go off, gee, I don't know, Warren.

From:

questionsonly

[ He's not answering her snort. And he's not dealing with her lack of ability to imagine a different way to handle things than her own. ]

If you're going to keep acting like he's a thing instead of a person?

This discussion is over.

From:

allgotrabies

A person who has no problem rewiring another person or blowing up another man. A man who literally makes bombs that go off. Let's not keep acting like he's a child who stole a cookie.

So we're going to stoop his level? That's your solution?

No one's acting like that.

Again? You're assuming things.

From:

allgotrabies

I'm at his level, Warren, I'm an inmate. A vicious awful inmate with no empathy, remember? Since we're going to bring up all these assumptions like I'm the only one making them.

[God he's annoying.]

Do you think he's going to hurt anyone again, yes or no? That's all I'm asking. That's the only thing that actually matters right now.

From:

questionsonly

I also never said that. There's a reason I use so many words.

It's because things? can be complicated.

[ There's no rise or fall in his own tone. Whatever he thinks of Annie is, well... clearly she's decided what he thinks. Why should he say anything? ]

It's what matters to you.

If this is just about what you want? I don't really have much to say.

From:

allgotrabies

I want people to stop being killed by your mate for no reason. I want to know if I'm in danger. If you think that's wrong then yeah, we really have nothing else to say.

How about you use some of those words to answer the question.

Edited Date: 2021-08-28 08:06 pm (UTC)

From:

questionsonly

There's a reason.

Not that anyone's asked.

You're on the barge, you're in danger.

I can't speak to it otherwise.

If your concern is about your personal safety and the personal safety of Connor?

I do not believe you are currently in danger of retaliatory violence.

Was there anything else?

From:

allgotrabies

Yeah the fact you can't even pretend he's not still dangerous says a lot. Get fucked. When he blows his lid again, I'm going to hope he dies screaming, just like he did the last time I had my teeth in his gut.
