017 ☣ Infirmary post + some housekeeping things

[Backdated to Tuesday]

[She's been in the infirmary since late Sunday night, but she spent most of Monday sleeping. She looks a little pale, propped against pillows, hooked up to an IV, but she seems comfortable enough.]

Hello, barge.

I am so bored. Worse, I can't read without getting a headache right now. So.

[She holds up an infirmary clipboard, the paperwork turned over so she could draw neat, careful charts on the back.]

Come in, sign up for a half-hour time slot and book. Books are sorted by genre and how many hours I estimate it will take to finish them. If you read to me, I'll bake you something nice later.

[OOC: feel free to ignore the regimented tyranny of storytime and talk to her about whatever, either on the network or via spam.]


[Private spam for Ben, before the attacks.]

[She knocks on his door, a cold, shaken look on her face.]

But you were still organic?

[Based on her experience with what a mutant is. From her perspective, it was not enough of a change to qualify for the type of example Anya was attempting to make.]

...interesting.

[And to her, it was. Mutants were not part of the Guardian database. She knew nothing more than her experience with those who identified as such on the Barge.]

Do you believe the temporary mutation allowed you to function at a higher capacity than you do now?

In other words, it was beneficiary to you in those circumstances.

[personal profile] theantiaya 2013-06-23 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
Why?

[Her tone is just the same as before, though there is a particular purpose to the question now.]

[personal profile] theantiaya 2013-06-23 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hm.

Your response is...unexpectedly logical.

[Anya was in the medical center as it was. She was purposely continuing the conversation. There was no reason for concern, and thus, Aya did not react in any way to the visible reaction to pain.]

So you claim to prefer a certain form because it would be convenient and functional, is this correct?

Perhaps now you will understand why I have made a similar choice.

Because, had I not shut down all emotions, I would not be standing here, now.

[And she doesn't just mean as an inmate on the Barge. She means at all.]

Existing is superior to not existing, always.

When I last allowed emotions to rule my thought processes, I was nearly permanently erased from all existence. A mistake I will certainly not make again.

Your examples are irrelevant because they are referring to situations in which one unintentionally stumbles upon a being stronger than her.

But if you insist upon using them, then I ask you this: how is one expected to maintain a clear enough mind to recall precisely this knowledge, if their emotions--their fear--is hindering the process? They cannot.

If your slow systems are incapable of processing reactions you were meant to have in the first place...and you claim this is how it is 'supposed' to be...then it is inconceivable how your kind have managed to survive as long as you have.

I have already learned enough.

[...as opposed to the old Aya, who would have agreed that there was still so much more to learn. About everything.]
