[She's probably slept for less than ten hours in the last week, and after feeling the immense consciousness of the Barge recede from the edges of her mind she just feels hollow. But at least she's herself. Getting to the bridge and having the dials and buttons at your command is one thing, she supposes - being directly connected to that sort of power is another.
It makes sense, now, that her conscious mind shied away from it for over a month - it felt like waking up to find you're steering a speeding car with a single fingertip. Too much fear to admit you've lost control - too much adrenaline to avoid overreaching. Too much despair and directionless frustration to hold back the part of yourself that wants to crash.
Toshiko hasn't looked at her communicator more than once or twice since she came in here. Maybe her punishment is being decided, or maybe the threats and recriminations are still flying. She just wishes they could just collectively decide to beat her to death with a hammer or torture her for a week or whatever the worst suggestion happens to be and then spit on her body and then call it over with. It's not martyrdom for her - what would she be martyring herself to? - no, it's closure for them. She doesn't doubt that once she's out of Zero it'll happen anyway, for all she knows it might happen while she's still here, so why pretend?
Lying flat on the top bunk, she closes her eyes and doesn't sleep.]
[OOC: If anyone is planning to do any more than talk at this point, as far as I know they'll have at least one Warden to contend with so ping me on plurk or AIM and let me know so we can talk it over! Please also keep in mind that an Inmate will need the permission or accompaniment of their Warden to enter Zero.
Also, fair warning, Tosh is not going to be chatty with people who are or have been threatening or hostile. She's still not particularly rational and in some cases she'd much rather get her ass kicked than have a conversation right now.]

[ He knows he needs to -- he needs to do something right by that crap city. He just-- doesn't know what. Maybe not going back is best. Someone will rise and fight Titan, right? Doesn't have to be him. ]
Sorry. Not yet. I can't -- go yet. I need to make sure... things will be okay, here.
[Spam]
Things won't be okay until I've graduated. Or disappeared. It's not worth waiting, Megamind - you've graduated, you need to think about you right now.

[ so far, few of his examples were good. ]
It can wait. It can all wait. I've got nothing but time here, don't I? Whole point of the thing; being one step out of time, where nothing goes on without you.
Re: [Spam]
[The 'look how that turned out' doesn't bear saying out loud.]
Sometimes it can't wait.
[Spam]
Two brilliant peas in a pod, huh?
[ More alike than he ever realized. ]
Soon. I'll go soon. Before I get paired.

[ Instead, he just put his hands on his narrow hips, and looked away. ]
[ It was like a rather sad but poignant photo-op; Megamind, genius, at a loss for words. ]
