Phase Eight: Recrimination
[Laura's in the brig.
It's at her own insistence, as soon as she was awake enough to insist. Once the medics were okay with letting her out of their sight, she went in to a cell. She's staying there until as much has been done to confirm she doesn't have any more surprises buried in the back of her mind as was done for Cheng, and then some. And it's noticeable to anyone who's used to her appearance that her ever-present amplifier is not on her wrist.
If you want to talk to her, it might take a while. Aside from the exhaustion of the fight, she's spending some of her time awake curled up in tears or otherwise unresponsive. Still - if you're patient, or time your visit right, she'll be able to speak, if you have something to say.]

Now... Why are you crying in there. That's not a very private place to cry it out.

[[One step at a time, MarKus is going to flip this around. If you take a good look at him, he's chilling against the bars just, grinnin. It's like... he's got this heroic plan in mind.]]
Laura, question. Do you think, that I, of all people, blame you for the shit that went down?

Well... I only know how to check with Percolatii so... I sure as hell know you're not some kind of alien. [[He thinks this is kind of amusing.]] But besides that I guess... We get you checked out and move on.
After that we go in and get that crystal thing back.
You know... I had that same conversation with Devon a while back. About that crystal.

"Go in there and get it the fuck back.". She seemed to basically agree. No fancy plan, no covert tactics shit. [[He even starts gesturing with his hands.]] Go in there, wreck shop, and figure it out as we go.
So... I dunno, they used you against us. Who's saying there's not some genius on board who can't flip that shit around and use that against them in turn. The Major could probably figure something out!
no subject
...You think I'm being absurd.
no subject
If you feel like you're at an all time low, then... you can just build yourself back up. Better and stronger and all that good shit. On top of that... you've got a fuckton of friends, and... various masked heroes, that are going to support you anyway.
Hmmm... then again, if I was your boyfriend... I might be thinking differently. Good thing that's not the case, right?
no subject
It wasn't just Frank I failed. And my friends here... I'm afraid I'll fail them again, too.
[Laura snorts.]
If you were my boyfriend, a lot of things would be different.
[[And a return scoff.]]
Oh yeah? Like what? Try me. [[Not an intended diversionary tactic, but, he's curious now.]]
no subject
And since I'm less patient than Shirley, you'd probably have suffered a lot more by now.
no subject
Wait... you don't? [[This is new to him. He's with Shirley anyway, so other than staring at her hair here and there, it'd never crossed his mind.]]
Wait... suffered for what? I don't mess up that bad!
no subject
[Hey, it turns out this was a pretty good distraction after all.]
no subject
[[You have now gotten him feeling incredibly unsure and self conscious about his relationship.]]

no subject
Heh... [[No, really, you had MarKus messed up for a minute there.]] I guess I deserved that... Me and my backwards half-assed flirting.
[[He's still kind of hanging his head on the bars though.]] I never said I was an expert at motivational speeches, but, I wasn't going to not try. Not after all the cool shit you said to my parents about me.
no subject
I'll get better. I just... I can't do it on command. But I'll do it.
no subject
Well... you wanna hug at least, or something? Food? TV? Kick that Dantoinne guy in the teeth?
no subject
One hug. And I'll pass along the kick in the teeth to him, myself.
