Day 231 [Video]
[A dog face peers into the communicator. She would be familiar to those who have been around for a while; the strange mish-mash look that comes with the power of the Queen's Ring. Those powers are dampened, of course, as they were before.]

[What is particularly new lies in the hardened look on her face. She blinks once, slowly, and remains silent for a stretch longer.]

[She called this place home, once. It's a distant dream, a life lived not by her, but someone else also named PM. The Parcel Mistress. Someone else with a little knowledge of Jack's evils, a little of the rage that now consumed her, and a little of the loneliness that was now a normal background hum. But here she is, and it is her, waking up as though it were nothing more than another normal day after the last normal day. The date is wrong. It doesn't surprise her that it's been a while, but not as long as she would have thought.]

[Her life has been years of chasing a murderer across empty void. Talking to no one. Never resting. Never doing anything more than wearing him down, bit by bit, just as he wore her down in turn.]

[She swivels her ears forward, and tries her voice at something not an expression of canine rage. The question comes more brusquely than she intended.]


Who's delivering the mail?

The wardens. Welcome back.

[She bristles slightly at that, but settles down just as quickly. The wardens, she thinks, are probably not respecting inmate privacy, and that quite nearly bothers her before she remembers how small the idea seems.]

[So she says none of that, and just pauses before remembering who it is actually talking to her.]


Dirk. You're still around.

Sure am. The irrepressible grip of justice just doesn't want to let me go.

I see. [She dimly remembers about Dirk wanting to escape, having things to do back home. Which is relatable. She does, too.]

...

I don't sense Jack anywhere.

Yeah, he's been gone for a while. Disappeared not long after you.

Good. [At least, it is good for Marina. It sets her on edge in other ways.]

I don't want him hurting anyone else I care about. Especially not while I'm killing him.

[ A chuckle. ]

So you ain't got around to that yet?

[ Does Ryoji even hear her brusqueness? Who knows. It certainly doesn't come across in his reaction, as cheerful and relaxed as anything. ]

Monarch-san, were you brought back today too? What a nice coincidence.

[The cheerfulness smacks her in the face like a not-so-event-timely water balloon.]

[PM feels something like regret for needing a second to remember his name.]


—Ryoji?

You're right. [ He grins like the sun shines; it would take a person eight minutes to notice it's no longer there. ] I'm flattered that the prettiest mail lady still remembers me.

[ If he hears the pause, the guilt, he comments on neither. ]

If you're not busy later, why don't we go check on Castell? He might be missing you in the pet cafe.

Castell...

[She has a surge of nostalgia and sadness that she fights to keep down.]

I don't seem to have anything else to do.

Well, I kinda gave up when the bots took over. It wasn't the same.

[The lack of personality with him being the only non-robotic mail-delivery person had been making him crazy. And, quite frankly, the less he dealt with the wardens and their bots, the better.]

Sorry, PM. But, hey. Good to see ya back.

[He'd noticed the difference in her, but he decided to let her bring it up first. Though, if it became an issue, he'd ask later.]

[Her memory is slowly being jogged, about everything, and so her realizing comes quicker, and with less guilt.]

Duo, you're still here, too.

[She isn't about to chastise him for not keeping the mail prisoner-run, even if the thought briefly blips and fades in her mind. It's silly to get worked up over that.]

Thank you for all your hard work.

Yeah. Seems to be my lot in life. Stuck here... for a long time. [He wasn't ready to say forever.]

Hey, yanno? It wasn't really all that hard. I did that kind of delivery thing back home, too. It was familiar, at least.

Just kinda wish the bots hadn't taken it over so readily after you were gone.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]promoted_pawn
2013-08-09 11:24 am UTC (link)
Me, too.

If I stay... [It goes without saying she wants to deliver the mail. It's what she's happiest doing. But whether or not it's what she should be focusing on is another matter.]

[She doesn't know how to express all that verbally, so she lapses into silence.]

It would pretty awesome if you could, and you could take the post office back.

But... not sure if you will. Not everyone does.

[He caught that sadness, but he wasn't sure if he should say something.]

[PM tries to smooth past it.]

Is this one of those "here and gone again" days?

[From what she remembers of him, she's a little surprised by that. But PM does not let it show.]

Yes.

I've been fighting a monster for three years.
