day 241 | voice/action
[Arriving at a strange place isn't new to Catherine Halsey. Her life has been full of odd occurrences and this shouldn't be any different. But it is, more mysterious than anything else she's been through. Prison? Again. Not rightfully so; hasn't she served her time? Hasn't she suffered enough, properly atoned without being put in a jumpsuit?]

This isn't the chain gang...

[It's muttered as she fumbles with the device, starting up a voice communication.]

To anyone who is listening: An explanation would be helpful, something more relevant than what I've received, a detailing of events and the essence of this situation. Additionally... [She pauses.] ...if anyone is near gardens and a series of greenhouses, I require physical assistance as well.

[Because newly arrived, stolen away only minutes after her life-saving amputation, she is now stuck in a greenhouse with a rather stubborn door.

At least the view is nice...?]

[Pride. Ego. He knows nothing of the depths of those, how they've been destroyed and rebuilt so precariously and carefully that she's grown an emotional shell to rival any armor she produced. Of course she won't act polite when she's been wronged. Of course she won't be civil.]

At least I'm not some ill-tempered Cheshire cat. Accuse me all you'd like of being egotistical and prideful. Even if you're right, it doesn't matter. You don't know anything about me.

Maybe you think you're being interesting right now. That by somehow showing your cards, you'll get me to miraculously forgive and forget, and let you interrogate me about things you have no business yet knowing, and at this rate you never will know. I wasn't born yesterday. I won't spill my secrets to you or anyone.

[She is so lucky he knows that reference otherwise he would be stumbling along through it. But he doesn't know these things so he's going by what he knows now.]

If you think me some Cheshire cat then you truly don't know me. And I don't, in fact I have far more then you more than likely and yet I'm not interrogating you, I could easily do so however, if you would prefer.

	[Yeah. She hates him.] Ask questions that won't get any answers? Surely you're more intelligent than that. Or am I giving you too much credit again? Go on. Do whatever you'd like. I've been interrogated by worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ helen just got back from making another batch of tea and now she's just going to quietly set the tea down, walk up behind james and snatch his communicator off his ear. ]

Even though I can only hear half of this conversation, I don't think this is the time to have such a [ territorial and/or strength ] display. I do apologize [ whoever's on the other end here ] for the inconvenience.

[ the inconvenience being the fact that she's just turned off the communicator and thrown it across the room. hope you weren't expecting to use it again today, james. ]
