[Backdated to yesterday]

She watched her forest slaughtered and called it compromise. Hundreds of years ago she made a truce with a man who had nothing to offer her, out of pity, and he repaid her with the slow inevitable exploitation of her family.  Of everything that she was.  And in exchange for petty, fleeting pleasures, she accepted it. 

I am not her. I will never be her. And I do not apologize.

[Oh wait, there were some recent events, weren't there?]

For anything.

[Private to Gaheris and Hendricks but strangely enough not Loki or Erik]

Put it from your mind. It will not happen again.

[Friends Filter]

I'm in Zero for the next seven days.

I need someone to look in on my

[OOC: Maybe 'friends' is too strong a word in some cases but this filter currently comprises Erik, Loki, Barbara, Prefect, Arkady and....Charles, why not, they had a reasonably civil talk about science once.]

I've spent my entire adult life trying, Drake. Is it only once I was too dead to pose a threat to your precious city that you would have ever deigned to listen?

[peektuttut]

[Yes :v] I'm trying not to waste an opportunity here.

[chlorophylliac]

An opportunity afforded by my murder. You'll have to excuse my unwillingness to participate.

[peektuttut]

Do you think I'm glad you died? How could I have asked you any of this, back in Gotham? How could we have had a conversation when someone's life wasn't on the line?

[chlorophylliac]

[Lol ignoring all that.]

Of course I think you're glad I died.

[Private]

[peektuttut]

There are two people in the world who I will be glad to see dead, and you're not on that list.

[Private]

[chlorophylliac]

Not that I'm even remotely surprised that you have a list, but what exactly are you trying to accomplish by baring your soul to me?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

Just seems ironic that you haven't tried any harder to understand me than I have you.

All I'm trying to accomplish is understanding the Green.

[Private]

[chlorophylliac]

To understand you? My God. Your ego really knows no bounds, does it? Go on. What scintillating insight into the human condition do you think you can offer me?

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[He is resisting the urge to bash his head against a wall rn]

I am asking you to help me learn, and instead you keep changing the subject to insult me. Why?

[Private]

[chlorophylliac]

Oh? You're the one making snide remarks about irony. Telling me that I'm not trying. Has it occurred to you that I may not be inclined to impart my wisdom right now?

[Since, you know, she's sitting here in a cage in inadequate light, covered in Edward Blake's blood. You may not have chosen your moment particularly well, Tim. :c]

[Private]

[peektuttut]

[Welp there's a point. Stop being single minded Tim. :c He doesn't answer right away because nope not apologizing and he doesn't like feeling like he should apologize when there is no reason to argh.

Except maybe she's right a little bit and he really has to talk himself into being a good person and say something instead of just cutting the connection like he wants to.]

Sorry. Some other time, maybe.
