When: Hazy
Warnings: Depression
She was tired. The exhaustion was deep, past her bones and nestled somewhere between her soul and the great big nothing that she had used to toss the feelings she couldn't handle in. If there had been a beginning to her current troubles Virginia didn't remember it. Right now as far as she was concerned her whole world had always been this perpetual fog of not-really-here.
The stone floor, the metal walls, the thin sliver of light they allowed to shine from somewhere on the ceiling was home. Home, she reasoned, was not always a place you had to be comfortable with it. Home was a place you came back to everyday and this prison cell was where she was returned.
She ignored the bunk preferring to collapse in a heap of too thin skin and bones on the cool floor. Her head hurt. There was a dull ringing in her ear and when she brought her hand to it her fingers came away bloody.
Huh.
"So that's how they're doing it." Even in his half banished state Banner was always there to give her answers.
"How do we get rid of it?" Her words bounced off the walls and made her head hurt more.
"Bang your head against the wall."
"Hahahahahaha."
"We aren't going to die here, Virg."
"S'okay. We killed another today. I'm okay with dying here."
"Virginia..."
"G'night."
