Day 43: Sun Room, Second Shift

[arc-wrench.livejournal.com]

When the shift changed, HK stayed put. Even after a long night of zombie killing, he had no interest in meatbag fuel, especially after all the discussion of chocolate with that rather strange meatbag. It was just making him crave the stuff even more than he had previously, if that was possible.

Oh, right. He was supposed to be looking for someone who was "VERY LARGE, WITH DARK HAIR." And also seemed to not know what lower-case letters were on the bulletin. As if that would help. He'd seen a likely candidate last shift, but talk of chocolate had distracted him.

"That is a possibility," she replied. "No one has been able to tell for sure."

Beatrix pused a moment. "You will not find aid through them. I suggest placing your hope in yourself and not in those from the outside."

"You sound like you've learned through experience," he noted quietly, keeping further optimistic thoughts to himself.

Now that he thought about it, that might explain the lack of people in the Sun Room today. Perhaps some already had visitors? He wasn't sure anyone would be visiting him at all. No one from his home could possibly get here to visit him or to be enchanted into thinking they were someone else.

Then again, if they could bring him here, chances were they could bring anyone else he knew just as easily.

"I had a visitor last week," Beatrix replied. "Though she is not one I would have aksed help from anyways." She watched the man for a moment, wondering exactly what he expected from the visitors. "The one chosen is meant to psychically affect you. Be wary of anything your visitor says should you be unfortunate enough to recieve one."

The Scarecrow couldn't imagine how well it'd go they sent the Witch to visit him, even if it wasn't really her. At least she wasn't a patient here.

"Your visitor wasn't your friend, then?" he surmised. "Or just someone you wouldn't want helping you if she could?"

Contempt mixed with hatred in Beatrix's ice blue eyes. "Neither. Had I been given the chance, I would have killed her in that room."

"She wronged you in some way, surely!" the Scarecrow exclaimed. The look in this woman's eyes told him she was quite serious, but his disbelief didn't give him time to think about it.

"Don't tell me you're one of those bleeding hearts that believes everything should be allowed to live," the Bride replied.

[scarefaux]

"Well, why not?" That seemed like such a bizarre question. "Living is a pretty wonderful thing, if you ask me."

"There are some people that deserve death," Beatrix replied. "For the actions they've done or for the things they have chosen not to."

[scarefaux]

"Chosen not to do?" the Scarecrow asked, raising an eyebrow. "You're judging them on action as well as inaction? Who or what determines what's right and wrong in those situations?"

"You do not understand. Choosing not to do something is still making a decision," the Bride clarified. "Right or wrong is something society decides. It is up to us to decide whether to apply those ideals or not."
