NINE: video
[The room Taylor's sat in is dark, unidentifiable from the wall behind her, but soft, blue-tinged light from another source washes over her face intermittently. It highlights how drawn she looks, pale, tired. She's a mess, really. Even by Tranquility standards.]
It's January, right? Been counting on the jumps since I got here. [She isn't slurring as she speaks, but the lack of focus in her expression and sluggishness to her movements makes it clear she's inebriated to anyone who knows what to look for.] Guess it doesn't matter though. Just start calling them by numbers. I was meant to turn twenty in December. Be an instructor back at the Academy. [She frowns for a moment, taking a drink out of an unlabelled bottle.] Or maybe they'd have terminated me.
[Another pause, and she shifts off to the side for a moment, putting the bottle down. When she comes back into view she’s holding something else – a mask. Her mask, an mongrel canine face, beaten, bruised and bloody. She holds it up, hanging off the fingers of one hand.]
Turns out these show you ghosts. Hallucinations. Whatever. If that isn't fucked up enough to get you thinking don't touch them, you're a fucking idiot. [Very evidently angry, suddenly, half a snarl on her mouth. She looks at the mask again, then drops it to one side.] Didn't want to see my old man the little he was around, sure as fuck didn't want to see him here. Thing I've been thinking, though - what do you see, you wear someone else's?
[She doesn't hold the second mask up for the camera, but it's there in her hands, looks like a modern military gas mask. She's quiet for a long while, like she maybe forgot she even had the comms running, all of the anger and energy drained out of her again.]
Tommy's gone. Gone last jump. Told him he would, cause everyone goes. [A thin smile, strained, sad, and then gone again.] Guess I didn't wanna be right.

[Said there was nothing for him back there. It had meant something, back then. But the ship didn't care what anyone wanted. Taylor shifts to pick up the bottle again, gesturing at the screen with it.]
You were friends, you know.
( video )
it's also something he never really knows how to react to. and especially not now, when she's like this. ]
Yeah, well, not surprised. Sounds like a pretty intense guy. [ tough and tougher gotta stick together, or some shit like that. ]
( video )
He beat you up at fight club.
[Because that's totally how to start a beautiful friendship, right.]
( video )
Hey, woah, now you're shitting me. [ he better have gotten a drink outta that deal, man. ] I must've let him or something.
( video )
[Not that Dean remembers. Even if for a moment it had felt like he did, like they were talking like they used to. She frowns, but it's not as sharp as before.]
What's it like? [Not remembering.] I mean, you're talked to other people that knew you before, right?
( video )
People actin' all friendly? Sayin' stuff-- knowing things that they shouldn't? S'all sorts of weird. [ weird doesn't really even begin to cover it though. ] I mean, either you go with everyone bein' insane and messing with you, or you just kinda accept it 'cause it'll be you losin' your screws if you don't. So I don't know, you tell me what that sounds like.
( video )
Sounds shitty. Really shitty.
[She'd hate it. Be kicking and screaming at people to shut up. And he was just listening and taking it like it was okay.]
Guess I keep hoping I wait long enough, you'll start remembering again. [But that isn't gonna happen.] Shouldn't keep bringing shit up with you. [It's the closest to an apology she can get.]
( video )
I don't know, Tyke. 'Cause as shitty as it is, if I were you, I'd try to beat the memories back into whoever most likely if all else failed. [ briefest smirk. you never know what might work, after all. but also added quickly; ] Not to dangle any false hope here, or anything.
[ as in, pls give a warning if you're gonna make his face friendly with your fist anytime soon. ]
( video )
Try some head trauma to shake them loose? [Half a smile back, though it's weaker at the edges than it could be.] You're back on the masochistic thing again.
