Confessions of a hero/Alcohol and Mad does not Mix

[brokenaesop.livejournal.com]

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?]

Hmm, guess not. Just the way you were raving, I thought you did. Though not as bad as what I did before...

[brokenaesop.livejournal.com]

Uh... what the hell are you talking about? Raving?

[Christine, it seems that Mad doesn't have any recollection of what went on. Do you inform her?]

[betterthnaliens.livejournal.com]

Ah... just told the entire ship you were a girl.

[Number of fucks given over the revelation? Zero.]

...were those two really blackmailing you?

[aesopunbroken.livejournal.com]

[The penny is in the air.]

Yeah they did it so they can get me to do what they wa-

[Penny drops.]

I DID WHAT?!?!

[betterthnaliens.livejournal.com]

Yeah... looks like you got yourself plastered then told the entire ship you were a girl.

Not that it's really any of my business, but why go that far?

[aesopunbroken.livejournal.com]

[Mad is still in shock. She's pretty darn quiet and stock still right now Christine could just POKE her in the shoulder and Mad would fall over.]

[betterthnaliens.livejournal.com]

...er... you alright?

[And she's going to go and give her that poke.]

[aesopunbroken.livejournal.com]

[The resulting thump was LOUD. Mad didn't even yelp or cry out in pain. She was just LYING there like a lawn ornament that got tipped over. Nice job Christina. You broke her brain.]

[betterthnaliens.livejournal.com]

Aw, jeez...

[Now she feels bad. With a sigh and a headshake, she bent down to pick up Mad.]

C'mon, you...

[aesopunbroken.livejournal.com]

[And Mad gets dragged along the floor by Christina - a tiny whimper escaping from her being the only sign she was still all there.]

[betterthnaliens.livejournal.com]

[Christine lets out a sigh as she goes and sets Mad on a nearby chair.]

...look, ah... you going to be okay?

[aesopunbroken.livejournal.com]

Hguuhh!

[Mad finally snaps out of it... and shudders violently...]

I'll... I'll deal... this is just weird...

[betterthnaliens.livejournal.com]

[Christine sighs, then shakes her head.]

Sorry it got broken to you like that. Then again, I don't think anyone here's going to try and toss you off the ship because of that. Though... why? Why hide it?

[aesopunbroken.livejournal.com]

Because... Because I didn't want to feel useless. I spent so much time pretending to be something I'm not I was afraid I wouldn't be anything without it..
