Prefect

Brothers and Sisters, I don't think being a woman has been at all bad.

I feel proportionately more tall, and more attractive than I usually do, and I've enjoyed being able to contemplate a slightly altered bone structure and how best to compliment it with a whole host of high quality cosmetics which have been suffering neglect amongst my assorted stock. I think that if the flood didn't end? I could function quite sufficiently as I am right now, without any real concern.

That being said, I look forward to everything being back to normal here. I don't know if it's everyone arguing about sex all the time, or just not being able to recognize anyone I know anymore, but--

[Her voice has been a complete monotone for most of this, but it hitches slightly here. There's a moment of hesitation, and then she continues, voice unchanged.]

But, I warmly anticipate the restoration of factory settings in the physical manifestation of gender.


[ooc: So, prefect's been a chick before, and he rather enjoys it, and he wasn't overcome with the desire to test drive his vagina (he did an exploritory solo mission last time, thank you very much), so I figure he's just spent the week getting progressively more hormonal and quiet and weepy, and the barge being suddenly unfamiliar and obsessed with sex hasn't helped much.]

I want to go home. I want to be with the things I love again.
I know what you think when you see me, you think I'm weird,
You think that because I chose obedience that means I don't deserve freedom
You think no one'll miss me, you think there's no one too miss me,
Just some big, empty place full of regulations and products and nothing else.
Or maybe that's all I am, empty space full of regulations.

But you have your own damn regulations! Someone else made all of yours as well, and you still follow them just as diligently, because if you didn't then you might have less conviction when you dismiss mine.

When you dismiss me.

Professionalism does not negate humanity! I belong to the Factory, I chose the Factory, I love the Factory!

And just because you don't think it should be here doesn't mean I will stop carrying it with me. Just because you don't understand it or me, doesn't mean that I will ever change. Even if you hate me for it.


I think this flood is worse than I thought it was.


OOC: Prefect wrote this, looked at it, went: "WTH?" and scribbled it all out rightquick! You can pick out bits of it if your character wants to look hard, but no one can get a full reading of it due to some crazyscribbling!
