[ the melodic, breathy voice that comes floating over the network this fine morning may be familiar to some, strange to others. she sounds annoyed, though not at all shocked to find herself here. perhaps that's because she's been here before. ]
Not only am I branded a heretic this time around, but I'm also being shamed for having sex and a child out wedlock! [ a clipped, mirthless laugh. ] Funny how that wasn't included on my reasons-for-incarceration list the first time around. Is that some sort of new policy that I missed out on while I was gone? Tack on new crimes every time someone is brought back from wherever it is we go when we're exiled from the dome?
[ and now, she sounds furious -- but takes in a deep, steadying breath. her voice evens back out when she speaks again. ]
I guess, then, this is me saying that I'm back. Don't know where I went, but I'm back.
Did you miss me, Prisneyland? [ did anyone still call it that? who cares, she's calling it that. ]
