after PETRE
[ Not just that he's obnoxious, that he truly has something ugly hidden under his human facade. It makes her skin crawl, her utter revulsion spreading, ice in the veins. ]
no subject
[ oh hell nah, son. but yeah, little brain-sis, he gets you. there is something seriously wrong with that guy. ]
no subject
[ How can that not bother anyone else? To be of-one with a flesh eating monster with no conscience? It deeply disturbs Ilde. She's seen the wreckage left behind by from a monster's feast. ]
( That thing is tied to Angel. It will poison her. )
[ She's not a fan of Petre, and it goes beyond his shitty attitude. He should be culled. ]
no subject
( Angel's made of stronger stuff than that. She'll be fine, I'm sure. ) [ Maybe. He doubts Petre will turn Angel into the kind of person she doesn't want to be, but he's more worried about him deciding to take advantage of her kindness. Either way, there's not a lot they can do preemptively about it. ] ( But it'd hurt her more if we tried to remove him from the hive. Her brood's lost a couple already. )
[ like with Ren or Anakin, even if they're assholes to much of the rest of the nest (and each other), Castor would still be crippled and grieving without them. ]
no subject
[ Selfish. She'd save Angel from it, but not Steve. She wanted him with her too much. ]
( Lenience upon him will bring ruin. )
no subject
[ which is really the only thing he can think of for them to do, as they can't just remove him. even if sam were the kind of person to go for that route, and weren't trying to give petre the benefit of the doubt, trying to kill him would get Cathaway and Prince on their ass so freaking fast. and that'd be a second Adara that was gone because of Castor. just. can't go there. ]
( We don't have a choice as it is. Talk to Angel, tell her you're worried. Make sure she knows to be wary. If Petre tries to hurt her, we're not far. )
no subject
( So that we can act once it is too late? )
no subject
( Okay, how about this. ) [ this is more than he wants to commit to, but Ilde needs something more that just Wait And Observe. ] ( Me and Angel, the way our heads work, they connect pretty easy and we're pretty comfortable with it. I'll keep watch on her mind. If stuff starts looking bad, I'll let you know, and we'll do something about it. )
[ """something""". lord. but honestly, it is true that he plans to keep an eye on her and her mind. Angel's sort of become really special to him, since getting to Bearings and all the time they've spent together doing tech stuff and talking AI philosophy. He'd much rather have Petre... well, not dead but excommunicated, at least, than let him bleed his grossness into Angel.
And lord freaking help that little imp if he actually hurts her. ]
no subject
( Why is this a negotiation. He is a monster, why is he amongst us at all. )
no subject
[ Just saying it straight forward. She understands self-preservation, and she understands that this brood is hers now. If they kill Petre, they're so far on Cathaway's shit list they probably won't make it back, and it'll set all the other broods against them. ]
( I don't know why he's with us, but it is what it is. Better that we know what he is, now, at least. )
no subject
[ She doesn't see any other means of addressing it besides getting rid of him. There was no reformation for demons. ]
( He is beyond saving. )
no subject
[ Petre's a problem, but not one worth damning all of them. Consequences for everything. Not ones they're strong enough to fight, even as a group. ]
no subject
( He's more than merely that. If we keep him in this hive, what differentiates any of us. )
[ They've all made the choice, all sold their souls for power and continued life. What makes them any different. Maybe that is the seed of it all, her constant conflict over whether or not she is doing the right thing by being involved in any of this. Her feeling that perhaps she is a treacherous witch for accepting the symbiote inside of her. She is certain not living up to her ideals consorting with that thing. ]
no subject
( I don't know, what keeps you from being an alcoholic, prophetic robot? )
[ maybe, someday, they'll bleed together inseparably. but even just looking at cathaway and prince, there's still such stark differences, and they'd been in a Brood rather than just the hive together for forty or sixty years. there's an allowance for control on there. ]
( You decide what you are. Maybe you hear us pushing on your mind, sure, but you decide what you let in. ) [ if any of them can do it, he'd think Ilde or Ren could. They seem to have the best handle on this thing. ] ( Ilde, you've walked through hell and made it out the other side already, and you won yourself a family. Do you want to let more hell take that from you? )
no subject
( It is all worthless in compromise. )
no subject
it takes a moment for him to reply again, because she's right in that a compromise won't satisfy her. only petre's head, and that's not something sam can give to her. ]
( Ilde, where are you? )
no subject
[ She knows the tact, she uses it on everyone around her. Calming rage and sorrow, taking control of people with soft-spoken words and gentle eyes. She won't have it, not now. She will just have to solve this problem herself. ]
( Enough. )
[ Utterly dismissive. ]
no subject
[ part for what she's feeling and part for what she might do. don't make decisions when you're angry. or when you're too happy, really. both have a big potential to come out bad. moreso the former, but. yeah. ]
( Did you talk to Ren? )
no subject
[ Never before has her tone been so snide with him. ]
no subject
[ He may be an incredibly patient person, but doesn't mean he has to be sweet about it. ]
( We agreed we wouldn't do anything drastic without approval of the rest of the brood, right? Your word's good, isn't it? )
no subject
[ Which isn't really an answer, now is it. ]
no subject
( As someone in your brood, I'm trusting you to give a damn about us. As someone who cares about you, I think you need to find some calm before you drive yourself nuts with this. That's me being clear. )
