Everything that mattered was--

Oh god, I couldn't ha--

...Is anyone all right?

I didn't mean too-- I mean... being that person...

...

I'm sorry, Comrades. I promise never to try and do anything like that again.

That version of you was brave and noble. You reject these qualities. Why?

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

He wasn't brave, Sister, he was just angry. He was very, very, angry.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Comrade...what was so wrong about what he was trying to accomplish? Or was it the method that has you so upset?

[acid_rayne]

Sorry for, like... Gratuitously dismembering you...

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

Sister I-- I can't stop loving the Factory. There's no way to break that out of me. I still talk like someone who believes in everything the Factory stands for and I do sister, I really do believe it, but... I know, that I am too changed from my time here to ever be able to go back there now.

He still loved the revolution, and he still talked like a man who wanted to fight for freedom and equality and peace, but...

...but he was changed as well.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

It's okay, I started it.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I apologize, Comrade. I do not know you as well as I might like and I-she- did not take the time to know him, either. So I cannot truly say that I understand but...

Well, we all learned something this week.

Changed how, Comrade? I question the both of you.

[acid_rayne]

You didn't deserve that.

I... How I am now, I mean. I actually kind of like you.

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

I did not dislike how you were.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I... A lot of ways, sister. I started feeling guilty, and it all went downhill from there.

He got angry. He got so angry he didn't care what it was he was fighting anymore. He knew all the words still, but... they were just words. He just wanted to fight.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I really, really wouldn't be so sure of that.

Thank you, Rayne. I kind of like you too.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

No, apparently no one disliked who I was.

[namorofthesea.livejournal.com]

You were not unlikable.

Downhill, Comrade? Change...especially change caused by guilt...does not have to go down.

And to have such empty words stir so many people. That charisma, though. You possess it, too. And you do not have to be that way.

[acid_rayne]

I am sure of it. Don't be scared of that other you, just 'cause he was angry. I'm angry. Hell, I've probably angered myself out, several times over.

It's not a bad thing, Prefect, no more than any passion is. What matters is what you do with it.

I've saved the world with mine. You made a damned good try at saving the ship with yours.

Difference isn't scale, Prefect... My reasons were selfish. Yours weren't.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

No, Comrade, I was very convincing.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

No, Comrade, my reasons were excuses, I just...

That barge? What it was trying to do? It was working on him. His motives... he didn't even really know what his motives were anymore.

[toldastory]

Prefect, what the you did there? That was a good thing.

[acid_rayne]

Could say that of myself, sometimes...

What matters is you did good, kid. Don't regret it. Maybe you're just recoiling because it's alien - but you shouldn't.

If I was like I should've been, I'd have joined up with you in a heartbeat.

[Oh yeah, Harvey's motoring on down to the infirmary. Spotting Prefect, he walks up to him.]

Hey.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

There has definitely been a certain non-specific degree of downhill travel, Sister, I promise you that.

And sister, I have a use for my words, and they aren't empty, I--

...

I'm sorry, Sister. I don't know if I can talk about this right now.

[buywithme.livejournal.com]

I don't care. I don't want to be him.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

I meant his words, not yours. And of course. I do not want to force you to speak if you are not comfortable with it. I am sure you have others you can talk to. But do not hesitate to call upon me if you need something. If I can help, I will.

Hey. Uh, Congratulations, Comrade.

[unbiasedchance.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

[Harvey sits down on the edge of Prefect's bed.] You're okay, right?
