1) [Announcement]

[There's something coming on everyone's screens. Oh look its Mad, looking drunk - oh dear he fell over with a thump before crawling back up into view.]

Hey... everyone... I'm guessing you all know who the hell I am... bet I caused a lot headaches and shit and ticked off a lot of people...

[Mad takes a deep breath and...belches, quickly rubbing his mouth.]

But what I gotta say is really important... the truth is... I'm a girl... I made a promise when I was a kid and... honestly that shit hasn't worked out for me at all... so.. fuck it. I'm just done with it. I figured you guys should know...

[SHE turns around but holds up a hand drunkenly.]

Now that thas over... I got something to say to Doc 'yame and Marxhene... KISS MAH ASS!!! Can't blackmail me anymore CAN YA?!

[With that she promptly moons the screen and.. well.. lets just say you can all definitely tell she IS a girl. There's a loud thump as Mad falls over and the feed shuts off.]

2) [Action]

[Mad groans in pain as the hangover sets in... she's now wandering around the halls of the chalice scratching her rear and rubbing her face.]

Fuuuuck....my heeeead...

[Confront her about her announcement?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He finds her there on his way to the hangar to meet the rest of the 4th Wolf Guards. He has time though.]

What did you do, pup? Oh. It is only dehydration. Come on. [It's his last day here and he's feeling magnaminous.]

Easy for you to say Big Dog... you're not the one feeling like you did five rounds with the 'lementals and got hit in the head every time...

[Mad was massaging her head as she followed him.]

[He was at the kitchen soon enough and thrusting a big glass of water at her.]

Drink. You are simply dehydrated.

[And drink she did... slowly... letting out a relieved gasp as she finished the entire glass, shaking her head a little..]

Oogh... So... you're leaving today right?

Aff. But I have a question for you first: why is it signifigant that you are female?

[That was the sound of glass breaking.]

SHIT-

[Mad was startled...thankfully the glass didn't break into that many pieces as to be troublesome but....]

What-how-when-

[She was shaking her head and looking confused and nervous.]

Fuck... I'm not even gonna ask how you know... but... I made a promise... my father always told me stories about the things he did but... there was nothing good about women in em... they always had to be rescued, always did something stupid... I figured he wished I was born a guy... so.. I figured.. why not act like his son?.... Didn't work... I never did anything right.

[He sighed at the waste of the glass.]

I see. Someone important to most freeborn, quiaff?

But it is not Someone's sex that determines whether they must be protected. A Warrior protects the lower castes, no matter their sex. And you are a Warrior.

.... yeah... I guess I am... I've just been living like this so long...

Its like waking up all over again..

It makes no difference to me. A Warrior's gender is not a factor among us. But why deceive us for so long?

Edited 2012-08-26 11:12 (UTC)

... I guess its because I felt I had to... I just wanted to stick to that promise I made so badly that I forgot everything else...

I suppose that was the only honorable thing to do then.

Why did you show us your buttocks though? What is the signifigance of that gesture?

I did what-

[Mad sounded somewhat strained at that...]

Okay.. just how did you find out that I was ..female.

You told us. [And that confirmed it, of course]

[...Cue Mad slapping her palm to her forehead.]

Fuuuuuuuuuu-

[Deep breaths girl. Deeeep breaths.]

Right... I was drunk but... I guess I was annoyed. doing.. that.. its an insult with us freeborn. The doctors were threatening to let everyone know about... my gender unless I behaved.

Guess they don't have that leash on me anymore.

In vino veritas, quiaff? Well it will make no difference to me. [He fills another glass and proffers it.] Are you coming?

I... No. I mean... I want to help but... You guys got it covered. If I stay here maybe I can help a lot more people than just hanging around in Siberia.

[Mad looked somewhat guilty but toughed up and did her best to look as confident as possible.]

Besides like you said... You guys don't need the help. You've already got all you need already.

Aff. It is your decision. Wherever you think you can do the most good is where you should be.

I may die there, however. If so...[He clasps her in an awkward hug.] Someday you will be a Warrior who even the Great Father would be proud of.

I...

[Mad... Felt something lance through her. She felt happy, sad, anxious yet proud. She felt something running down her cheeks.. Were those tears? Didn't matter - she wiped em away quickly.]

I won't disappoint... I promise! I'll make both him and you proud.

[Just as awkwardly, he let her go.]

Always trust what you know to be honorable. Noone else can tell you that. [He says, melodramatically over his shoulder, like a Terran holovid.]
