[033. Keep giving me hope for a better day.]
[Video - Pack + Friends*]
(ooc: *if you could see Stiles' previous filter, you can see this, + Lydia's friends.)
[Lydia is definitely looking a lot better than she was before the port. There's a massive pile of shopping bags on her bed that she still needs to put away, but she has Prada sitting on her lap, looking very pleased with himself.]
For those of you who were worried, we're back! We managed to come back on our own just fine and we just got here a couple of hours ago.
If anyone -- Scott -- is looking for Stiles, he went to his cabin.
And Allison? [She grins brightly and shows her this picture on her phone.]
Come see me!
[Video - Anyone she offended with her previous post + Arthas]
[After greeting everyone and taking some time to unpack, she finally sits down on her chair and sends the message she's been dreading. But she knows she has to do it.]
Before the port, I did some things I'm not proud of. I wasn't in the best frame of mind and I think this is a big reason why the Admiral took away my inmate to begin with.
This break from the Barge has given me time to think and hopefully find a better way of dealing with things here, of being a better warden. If anyone would like to ask me questions about anything, or wants to clear things up with me, I'm available.
I won't try to justify the things I did before, but I want to apologize to anyone who might have been hurt or offended by my actions.

You don't want to help me.
[No one sane wants to help him break the Barge, and that's perfectly fine.]
no subject
I do. Maybe just not in the way you want my help.

[The sarcasm is bone-dry; he could just as easily be sincere.]
You're the other banshee, aren't you? I wonder why you're not undead.
no subject
Yes, I am. We work differently in my world.
no subject
[He's heard plenty of banshee screams. He created them.
Arthas cants his head to the side.]
How do you work, then?
no subject
[She sighs a little at the question, then shakes her head.]
I don't know. I've never met one like me back home. No one seems to really know. But I'm definitely alive.

But my powers weren't awakened until a couple of years ago, when an alpha werewolf bit me.

Do the banshees in your world go into anything similar to a fugue state when they're predicting death? [Hey if Sylvanas and Vergil won't tell her about them...]
Private
[And here's the key. Arthas holds his expression somewhat sympathetic and waits: how much does Lydia know about where Sylvanas came from?]
Private
[The massacre information somewhat makes sense with what she's read. Banshees in most folklore books are part of wars. They do predict deaths still, but...]
How were they created during massacres?
Private
[He's not an actor, exactly, but he is guilty about what the Scourge did, endlessly so, and lets the harrowed pity show in his voice.]
Most were tortured to death.
Private
Are there a lot of them? Are they-- always going to be undead banshees, or do they get to move on eventually?
Private - ha ha late. sorry
[He's getting close to revealing something Sylvanas wouldn't want him to, something that can never be turned outward and used as a weapon.]
Private - this is even later so ><.
As long as you're still around, there's always something you can do. There has to be.
Private
Private
What is it?
Private
Private
But it doesn't mean she won't listen to the whole request.]
What are her powers, exactly?
Private
Private
Arthas. You have to know that before I can even consider this, I need to understand exactly what she can do. And I need to understand how having her powers back would even help her.
I can't just-- do it.
Private
Intangible undead have limited sense. Embodied undead have no way to escape if they're attacked and can't heal themselves like the living do - when we get cut, the cut stays open. She's a ghost inhabiting a corpse. She's bound to it, so at the moment she has the downsides of both.
I know that having power would let her escape her body if she needed to, and to vanish into shadows to hide. They'd let her heal herself, at least a little.
