entry seventy one: powerless.

Aug 25, 2010 12:27

I think the Disc is better without guns. I think the Roundworld must have corrupted itself such a long time ago, it doesn't even notice. I'm happier without that power in my hands, and maybe all you Roundworlders would be too.

[Private to McCullen and Murphy]Mr McCullen, let me issue you a deepest apology for having killed you. It is... weak, I ( Read more... )

guns make swing uncomfortable, not in as much control as he thinks, from zero and back again, concealed weapons make a particular, swing does not like self-discovery, actually sincere for once, weapons law ftw, the ankh is thicker than water

I killed McCullen. She was his last words. I... wish to apologise and to inform her of this. It seems the right thing to do.

I shot Mr McCullen. I can explain the circumstances, but that doesn't make it alright, I know. It wasn't his fault at all. I... offer you my deepest apologies and...

I also ought to inform you that his last words were of you.

I can only hope that next time, you'll listen to me.

On this subject, yes, I will.

As I hope... believe I will leave her before you, make sure anyone else from our planet is told about the guns and... yes.

McCullen is still unconscious. I did get out, thanks to a friend I was locked up with. Whatever punishment your warden deems suitable, I'll accept it.

Why did you do it?

He's locked me in zero for the week, and taken his leave from the Barge, I think, to deliver something I asked of him. I... will accept any further punishment from you or Martha Jones.

It had nothing to do with him. This... is going to sound ridiculous to a Roundworlder, but talk to Edward, he has experience. The gun... it made me feel powerful, invincible, like nothing could get in my way. McCullen didn't even deliberately get in my way, we just ran into each other in the dark and he was holding me up. I lost control.... I was never in control, and shot him. Edward said the guns could drive you mad. I didn't listen to him, and they did.

Wait, he's still unconscious?
