Who: Beatrice Krumholt
Where: Io. Tijuana. Pluto. Her mind.
When: The past. More specifically, though, the thoughts went through her head after she got the dossier for this and it kinda doesn't make sense without looking at that? Look at that BEFORE reading this? Oh, for actual When.. the 9th?
What: A series of memories, bad and good.
Warnings: Violence, blood, death. Weird trippy dream formatting. Pretty and not-so-pretty colors. A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Taylor Swift reference. Lol remember that time I went on hiatus because my computer broke and then flooded your friends lists from my phone? OOPS?
Beatrice. Beatrice, Beatrice, Beatrice… Just… Just Bea. Please. Why? It's such a pretty name. Beatrice… Do you know what that name means, child?It was my grandmama’s name… Beatrice, or rather the Latin root Beatrix, evolved from Viatrix, or “traveler”, when blended with Beatus or “blessed.” A very basic translation would be to say it means blessed traveler…Oh. That's nice… I wasn't done, girl. You have great company, you know. Beatrix was an old saint’s name. And of course Shakespeare had his Beatrice -- but I imagine the most famous would be Dante’s Beatrice... Have you read any Dante?No. No, of course you wouldn't have. That was silly of me -- Beatrice Portinari was a girl that Dante thought he loved, despite only meeting her once when they were children. She married another, died, and so Dante wrote an epic poem where she brought him to heaven, to show him the wonders of God’s love, and give him reason to keep living without her. I wonder, Beatrice. Will you show our Johnny the wonders of God’s love? I… I'll try, ma’am. There is no trying, child. Not in this game.Bea, baby, wake up. Wake up! We gotta move! What, Johnny? We gotta move! We gotta get out of here! Aw, shit… I can't believe I… Aw, fucking shit!Johnny… Johnny what's goin’ on? They're comin’. I lost… I lost the stuff. And they're comin’. Said I had too many second chances as it is. They're comin’ and Rancid’s with ‘em and… Oh, God, Bea, I'm so sorry… I'm so sorry...Johnny, No. Johnny, shh. It'll be okay, baby. It'll be okay… Stupid fucking bitch! Look at this? They're fucking shooting at us! Leave her alone, Rancid. This is ‘tween you and me… Oh, no, that's where you got it wrong, farm boy. This dumb bitch of yours has been fucking with our business ever since Angelica picked your hick ass out of the gutter. And now she's gone and brought the whole fucking ISSP on us. Get away from her! The fucking cops are here because of her! And the way they're shooting the place up, we'll be lucky if any of us even fucking make it to Pluto! Get your damn hands off her! You fuckers had one job, Johnny! One job! And you couldn't even do that right, could you? Well I'll be damned if I'm dyin' before her! Please… Please don't… Shut the fuck up! Please… Please… Get! Your hands! Off! H--BANG THUD No... No... Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in God's presence to witness... (You look beautiful...) Money, Beatrice. He owes me money. A great deal of it. And at this point I believe the only way I'll ever have it back is to take it from his flesh... No, please! Anything you want, I'll do it! Anything! I'm not sure you understand the situation, child. The boy has impacted my business. There is little that you can offer to amend that. Surely if you had the funds to clear his debt, you wouldn't be here on this rock in the first place...Beatrice Enid Krumholt, that boy ain't nothin' but trouble! But daddy-- Do not 'but' me, child! I tell you that boy will bring you nothin' but ruin. You are a Krumholt, and that might not mean much in your little dreams o' Mars and Ganymede, but here it means you come from good stock, and you deserve better'n him!I love him! You don't know what love is, girl, and if you walk out of this house then you never will!Daddy... There will be not a piece of a woolong for you! Never again. If you go with that boy, you are dead to me, girl, you hear that? Dead to me!I can get the Redeye past the cops. They won't check me, I don't even have a record or nothin' for them to find, and if they ask questions I can just play dumb. Yes, I'm sure you're quite equipped for that at least...Please. Please. He's all I got... We're all we've got, now. We're all we need. Better an' worse.Richer or poorer. And it's sure gonna get worser an' poorer before it even starts thinkin' bout gettin' better an' richer...I don't know what you're talkin' bout, Johnny Jones. Right now I reckon I'm the richest gal in space. Johnny? Johnny please, please open your eyes... Bea... baby...You gotta stay with me baby, gotta stay with me. The cops got Rancid when he tried to run, but they're still lookin' for us. I can't... I can't make it without you, baby... Bea... I can't... I ain't...No. Don't you start talkin' 'bout ain't anythin', you hear me Jonathan Jones? The only thing you ain't gonna do is leave me here alone! Bea... Bea, baby...I had to... had to say.... you look beautiful... Beatrice Krumholt, you have the right to remain silent... Jones... Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law...Beatrice Jones. Not Krumholt. Jones... You have the right to speak to an attorney and have him present...Jones... Jones... Jones... Bea, Run away with me. What? Run away with me! Come with me. We'll get off this hunka dust and see the stars, Bea!You're talkin' crazy, Johnny... Just crazy about you.Johnny... I know, I know. Your daddy don't like me. And that's fine. He don't have to, I don't wanna marry him!Johnny! I'm serious. Marry me, Beatrice, and you'll never have to be alone. I love you, and that's all I really know. It's the only think I reckon I've ever known for sure in my whole life. That and that I don't want to spend my whole life here, just to die in some mine like my pa and his pa and his pa afore him.I wanna spend it with you. Seein' everythin' out there for us to see. Johnny... Rich men like the ones your daddy wants for you, they can give you a big house, and fancy clothes, but you'll still be a bird in a cage to them, Bea. Come with me. Come see the stars with me. Please...Johnny, baby... What're you in for, newbie? What? Cat got your tongue? Betcha she killed a man... Betcha she's a whore from Callisto... Betcha she's a whore from Callisto who killed a man... Betcha she's a whore from Callisto who used to be a man... Betcha she's a thief... Betcha she's a jaywalker... Betcha she's an arsonist... Betcha she's really Artemis... Betcha she's really a lost princess... Betcha she's pregnant... Betcha she worships Satan... Betcha she is Satan... You got a name, blondie? ...Jones. Call me Jones. |
