lots of audio and a video - one open, most locked, and all full of regret

[talentd_tongue]

[A very composed and slightly monotonous tone of voice, which definitely sounds strange to anyone who knows her personally.]The views and opinions expressed by myself over the network on Wednesday the twentieth were the result of a city-wide involuntary intoxication. They were in no way intended to reflect any official position taken by the

Video?

[Uhura doesn't exactly remember sending a video. Cue frantic scramble search through her files.]

[Uhura's found the video, and obviously she can't watch all of it before she replies to this, but she's sped it up and is jumping around and it... doesn't seem to be too awful. Rambling and ridiculous and kind of personal, but not as bad as it could have been. She can flail over it, apologize for herself yet again and feel like even more of an idiot, of she can take this one small thing and--]

I don't remember sending it. I was still intoxicated. I think perhaps I just wanted to talk.

[And decide to not be ashamed. For just this one thing, she can not be ashamed.]

[The knee-jerk reaction is yes, she wants him to delete it. She wants all record of what happened on Wednesday erased from existence. But that can't happen. What's done is done. Tony doesn't know her and maybe that makes this easier, but...]

Only if you want to. I'm not sure what I shared, but there isn't any part of my life that I'm ashamed of. If I sent it there must have been a reason.

[Not strictly true... but her past, the things she's done to get to where she is - she'd proud of that. She's a hard worker, she's dedicated, she lives her life fully and unapologetically. Or at least she used to. Quite recently. Not even a month ago. She still can. She wants to be that woman again. She can get it back.

I don't mind.

It's my pleasure. Truly. Being able to do something to help, even something small, is important to me.

Right.
