2.14 - Voice

[Posted about two hours after Megamind's post.]

[Seconds before transmission, almost everything is reset. The lost areas and items reappear, the above-decks areas are restored in their entirety, and the 'space' and sunlight around the ship come back. Zero is returned to normal and anyone teleported down there is automatically released. Anyone who has had their powers or weapons temporarily removed will get them back. Auto-demoted Wardens regain their previous status and everything associated with it.

The loose panels are still around. For some reason, it's raining lightly on deck. A few random bits of furniture in the common rooms have changed colour.

The voice of the 'Admiral' comes from Toshiko's network signature, quiet and tired.]

I don't stand by everything I said, but I don't hold myself above any of it. Anyone who wants to call me a hypocrite, a coward, a sadist, a weakling…

[The feed shifts. Tosh's voice. Hi, Barge.]

I know. I just - I know.

I need…time. To end this without doing any more damage. Tomorrow I'm going to come out. I'm not - I'm not going to fight. I'm not going to defend myself in any way.

[There is a background interjection from Megamind: But I will!

Tosh is quiet for a moment, probably pulling a face at him.]

...Whatever's decided, I'll....go along with it.

[Accepting a majority decision that hasn't been made yet isn't quite the same as accepting being tortured and/or lynched by a minority - but still, you'd honestly be surprised, Selina.

She didn't ask for anyone to protect her, and she's not happy that it's a choice they made. But she's completely fine with people making their own assumptions and running with them, because nobody's going to believe anything she says to contradict them anyway.]

[If Tosh did come up to her to submit for it, Selina would find she doesn't have the stomach for it--at least not as far as her anger tells her she should take it. And there would come a sick sort of respect for Toshiko from it, which might grow anyway, as things unfold and she's able to see Tosh.

But for now she's just livid and terrified and lashing out like the half-crazed animal that she is.]
