R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

...You were trying to be a lawyer?

[Picture her here, flashing back to Phoenix sitting in a similar position. In a flash, Phoenix is gone, and it's 2D sitting there... her murderer sitting there.

She listens to what he has to say. A frown deepens on her face, more and more. Until-]

You didn't want to give up being who you are, and what you do.

[2-D gives a small, sad looking smile. And he nods to her question, and her statement.]

....yeah. Yeah, that's.. that's exactly it.

[He hadn't figured out how to word it exactly but.. yeah. It's spot on.]

I don't blame you if you hate me after what I did. Really it's.. [He drifts off, thinking about the reaction everyone had given him. It shocked him at the time and he felt like it wasn't very fair, to be honest, but now that he's remembered so many years of his own hardships, and is now talking to Maya about it he's realizing.. he's been extremely selfish.]

I-I mean, I'd probably beat the snot outta me if I were you.

[itwasfeyt]

[He understands her, at least to some extent. That's what makes this harder. Because, as much as Maya can begin to understand his motivations, and even why he was sorry in the first place, it still manages to dig under her skin. Some small part of her was still frustrated. At him? At everything?]

I know what you mean, of course I know what you mean. I've been feeling like that ever since I got here. [Her fists ball up, like she might try to take another swing... but it never comes.]

I can't-- couldn't channel a spirit to save my life. The thing I trained for my entire life... a-and it's impossible now. I'm... useless as a medium.

[But I never killed anyone for it.]

...I'm not going to beat you up, but I'm still not happy.

[12d3]

[2-D listens to Maya's explanation, and it just.. makes him feel even more guilty. If he had talked to her more, they probably could have bonded over feeling insignificant during the week that finally made him snap. They probably could have prevented such an awful thing from happening in the first place and it just.. drives home how awfully scary humans can be. How scary he can be.]

...thank you. F-for not beatin' me up.

[He didn't really think she had it in her, anyway. But still, he wouldn't have blamed her for it.]

And I'm so.. so sorry. I don't think I'll be able to apologize enough for what I did, but... but thank you, again, for at least hearin' me out in the first place.

[itwasfeyt]

...You don't have to thank me for not beating you up. [Make her feel bad about it, why dont'cha.]

You're welcome, for thanking me for listening to your apology, I mean. [Even if she doesn't quite feel like accepting it yet. She lets out a quiet sigh.] Geeze... never thought I'd have a conversation like this one.
