[b]Brown![/b] "What do I..." Brown trailed off. Stared blankly. Then turned on her heel and walked away. "Nothing happens if I don't make it happen". It was Green's most toxic trait. She was fundamentally dissatisfied with any level of control over the situation less than deification, and she'd passed it on in the form of an absolutely awful organizational culture that made her an overstressed, overachieving neurotic wreck. What the fuck was she doing here? Why shouldn't she just walk out of this situation she clearly had no control over, no ability to influence, and not a single fuck to give? Why did she have to see this and decide it was her problem? ... Why was she trying to cause a distraction while adjacent to the two most distracting people on the station? The supervisor wasn't in her office. Free lunch. Brown walked right through an employees only exit and into the administrative core of the building. This wasn't designed as a prison so it wasn't fortified. It'd be fine. Everyone here was used to ignoring lawyers. [b]Orange and Blue![/b] "We're not -" Blue massaged her temples in an imitation of Everest's favourite display of frustration, "- different voices." "Blue, this could be useful advice -" Orange said in a halfhearted attempt to defuse. "It's not! It's the same advice we always get!" said Blue. "I don't know how to explain it. Do you?" "... we can give it one more try?" said Orange. "Augh!" said Blue. "We're not people! We're not even emotions! It's a trick! You're just projecting how your weird brain works onto us!" She stood up, went to storm out. "This is why I hate being in this fucking human body!" Orange watched her go. "... Sorry about that!" she said politely. "I'm happy to continue if you are." [b]Pink![/b] All of that for a key. She sits in the light and looks at the key, the little twist of metal. Barely a stopgap until a better security system was installed; a padlock was all that it took to defend nothing. She would have thought there'd be a deed, a physical piece of paper, something to sign, some ceremony - but no, just a key, and a promise that nobody would fuck with her in that location. This little serration of metal contained the promise of... Of what? She couldn't conceptualize it yet. A space of her own. A fragment of the space she yearned for, but perhaps enough to breathe in. To let her thoughts spill out of the corner they were trapped in. No wonder people wanted more of it. No wonder they were fucking psychos to steal it from others. It felt like there was an emotion that had been bottled up inside her, a scream that could only start to be expressed now that there was slightly more space to move around in. Inside a sliver of metal and a name on a database was the promise of silence, for the first time ever getting to be away and apart from everyone else. More canvas, and the quiet to work on it. How was blank paper so scarce? She wanted to think about this more before she even walked in, before she even looked at it. She wanted to finally start composing ideas she'd never thought she could think. She wanted to go into it with intent. But she knew she'd need Green. Pink: Hey, Fiona, could you help me with Green actually? Pink: I do need her for this and I can't figure her out on my own.
