impure_tale: (a good story)

150

A lovely holiday, my dears. Perhaps some slight setbacks, but I am most satisfied to have enjoyed beautiful gifts and the joy of giving to others, even those with whom I've been at odds in the past.

Now now back to writing.

[Warden Filter]

I...confiscated what appears to be a riding crop from one of the newer Inmates earlier today. It struck me that it was the sort of thing he probably should not have had, and considering he did not bother to claim it was his own, I feel I was not out of line in doing so. Might I ask who this belongs to? 

It seems well-used.

[Private to Iago]

Speak to me, my treasure. I've heard barely a word out of you since before Christmas.

(ooc: The Marquis got the riding crop off of Reaver, which was stolen from Holmes. That encounter may be drabbled later.)

Then why are we quibbling about what you do and do not want?

Private

Because you knew that this would upset me.

It's necessary.

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Necessary for what?!

Private

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
For you to continue living here.

This place is not about forgetting everything, Iago.

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't forgotten.

Private

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
But you're perfectly content to ignore, aren't you?

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Why should I acknowledge them?

Private

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Because you wronged them.

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
They wronged me.

Private

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
I am not debating this matter with you again. You are wrong. You know you are wrong.

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
I know I did wrong! But they were not innocent.

Private

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Which does not free you of any guilt. You cannot blame your actions on others. It was your choice, in the end.

Private- Such a liar....

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
I know, Marquis. It was my fault.

I shouldn't have done what I did. It was...wrong. And all they did wrong was...not do what I wanted them to. Killing them isn't exactly a fair punishment for that.

No punishment was needed, I suppose. For me, certainly. For them...no. I feel such regret that I snatched their lives away so early.

Don't disrespect those words by not meaning them, Iago. You have the portraits. There, they will stay. Contemplate them until you cannot anymore and start over again when you've done.

YOUR

[Breathe. Voice goes back to level.]

Your present.

Private.

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Just what you needed, I think.

Do you require instruction in how to use it? It's really not difficult once you've had a little practice.

Mine are better taken care of.

I dropped it over the side. You're not funny.

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
And if I throw them out?

Private

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
You won't.

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
What will you do if I just...toss them over the side?

Private

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. What will you do if your new cabin is revealed to be the main deck?

Private

[identity profile] inhumandog.livejournal.com 2010-12-31 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Fine.

I will keep them. But I gain nothing from it other than increased hatred towards you.

Private

You have no one to blame for your discomfort but yourself.
