2/20

[tucky]

Nah, I don't; it's okay. What is it?

2/20 - also, audio

[deadcalm]

I'm planning to do something I'm gonna regret.

2/20 - also, audio

[tucky]

You wanna come to my cabin and visit?

[deadcalm]

If you let me leave, too. [But she makes her way there anyway, looking tired in a way makeup doesn't cover. It's running deeper than that]

[tucky]

Yeah, of course you can leave. I wouldn't ever trap you.

If it makes you feel more comfortable I can come to your place, or we can talk over these things instead.

[deadcalm]

[She's there before she realizes Tiffany's even given her options.]

I know you think something's wrong with me, even right now.

[tucky]

I don't think something's wrong with you.

[She stays in the doorway, in case Lua wants to head off somewhere else - with Tiffany, or alone.]

And I'm under that flood right now, so lying ain't easy.

[deadcalm]

Both of us are. [She walks in, shoulders bowed, resigned to whatever's going to happen.]

I've planned out how to kill somebody here the first chance I get.

[tucky]

[Tiffany follows, going to sit on the couch.]

Okay. Why do you wanna do it?

[deadcalm]

[Tiffany's going to get the whole story out of her, so she stops trying to control how the words come out.] I saw his memory- they were both here- he killed him like I told you I was so scared of.

[tucky]

Killed your boyfriend?

[deadcalm]

Yes. He set a trap for him. [Her voice starts to dwindle as she continues, and she can't look upwards.] He thought he was an animal.

[tucky]

Do you want me to know who it was? Because-- I'm gonna want to help you not do it, even though revenge still makes a lot of sense to me and I'd be just as pissed as you are if that happened to somebody I loved. But I'm not gonna want the guy who did it to get hurt, and I'm not gonna want you to do something you just said you're regret.

[deadcalm]

I know you'll tell him.

[tucky]

I don't know if I would or not. I wouldn't want to. But... I wouldn't wanna say nothing, knowing he might get hurt.

I'd rather help you figure this out right now and not tell him anything at all.

[deadcalm]

Only one thing's holding me back. [So it's going to take a lot of work to stop her.]

[tucky]

What thing?

[deadcalm]

If I kill him, nobody will think I'm a lady anymore. I'll be someone you watch out for.

[tucky]

Did you tell me about it 'cause you couldn't help telling, or 'cause you wanted me to help you not do it?

[deadcalm]

The second one. I can't stop myself. I can handle myself if I'm scared, but... I don't know what to do about hating somebody.

[tucky]

It's hard controlling your anger when you hate somebody.

[She knows from personal experience.]

You wanna tell me what happened? You don't gotta tell me who it is, but-- do you think talking about the stuff you saw is gonna help or hurt?

[deadcalm]

[She still looks down, but sneaks up a peek through her bangs at Tiffany before she starts.]

He was minding his business, and I mean that. This guy was waiting for him with something he'd made out of stuff here. Then he shot him with it, and-

-and he's still here and could do anything he wanted here.

[tucky]

I'm sorry.

[She holds out a hand towards Lua - not touching, but offering.]

[deadcalm]

[She takes the hand in hers, giving it just enough weight to not go limp. They need to connect right now; she needs to read Tiffany.]

And he's proud of it. It's nothing to be proud of.

[tucky]

[Tiffany gives Lua's hand a little squeeze. She's worried, but mostly empathetic.]

You know it... wouldn't've been permanent. Right?
