０１４ ☠ video/action

[jemerite]

[Hello, mirror. It seems that... Zinc may just be waking up after a few rather unpleasant days, a wave of gleaming green snakes slithering away from her, disappearing into the grass with a faint rustling. She opens her dark eyes slowly, staring off at nothing blankly for a long time.

Eventually, she makes an attempt to lift her head, but she lays back down tiredly, blinking without speaking.

It is a while still before she curls an arm under her head, getting more comfortable, although she's frowning and her eyes don't lift to the mirror. The reason for that will be quite apparent in a moment because she murmurs,]

I can't see anything.



[[ooc; I am still tagging that log. Very slowly, I'm so sorry. Sob. I just didn't want to have to backdate this any further. If anybody wants to take credit for her second death, they can have it. Otherwise it's a suicide, and... I'll just be ambiguous about it until that gets settled.]]

I kinda think I already know.

[jemerite]

Then no need to ask me.

[fionna_time]

Yeah.

...

It was messed up though, making you be alive and then taking it away again.

[jemerite]

It wasn't... really alive. Not really.

[fionna_time]

No?

Then what was it?

[jemerite]

Just breathing. Bleeding.

[She shrugs.]

'Living' is more.

[fionna_time]

Can I ask a question?

What were you like, when you were a human?

[jemerite]

[Honestly? It's a difficult question for her to answer. Zinc has never been very good at introspection, when she was alive she just knew who she was, there was never any question about it, so she never had.]

Strong. Willful, nothing... touched me. I did not love. Could not love. It was better, that way. Everything was... clear, when I did not feel. My mind was... quick, efficient. I liked to find challenges. Puzzles to unravel, people to control. I could do it.

[fionna_time]

[Just listened, sighing quietly. She hurt. She injured others. Fionna fought people like this always. And yet...]

Can't you do it now?

[jemerite]

Everything is muddy. I can't... think clearly.

[She rolls onto her back, eyes closed, sulking at the sky.]

It's cold, and lonely. I am weak, t... tenuous.

[fionna_time]

[Is quiet a moment].

Can I help?

[jemerite]

There's no helping. It is... what Reanimate is.

[fionna_time]

I mean the blindness stuff.

I...guess I can't do anything about the other thing.

[jemerite]

Gavril is coming. I will go home.

[fionna_time]

Ok.

...I'll see you later, ok, Zinc?

[jemerite]

Ok.

[ 8( Although she doesn't sound very enthused. About anything. ]
