A Need To Write Words

[veni_vidi_valui]

Another day, another disturbance, I suppose... One I seem to have thankfully avoided. Much like my warden's scrutiny, I might add, but as all I have to do is deny what she has to hand, it's not been very difficult to avoid taking responsibility for

...Why is everyone talking about sex today?

Wait, you sleep with wardens?

[veni_vidi_valui]

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I regard it as quite healthy.

No, I wouldn't intend to sleep with them. Have sex with them, yes, but sleeping's a different matter.

[yeahscience]

And you thought this was a great time to tell the whole barge your like GMILF fantasies?

Same thing where I come from. Sort of.

[veni_vidi_valui]

What's a 'GMILF'?

[emptyyourself]

Trollop.

[veni_vidi_valui]

While I'm inclined to offer a vicious retort, it's also been at least partly true.

[emptyyourself]

I don't think that makes it any better.

I want you to stop frustrating your warden. I don't have the whole story, but I stick my nose where it doesn't belong and she has told me on several occasions that she doesn't know how to help you.

If you were my inmate, I would turn you blue.

[veni_vidi_valui]

Yes, but if I exhaust enough wardens, this Admiral of yours is bound to get impatient with its scheming and cast me back.

I'm accustomed to power and entitlement, you see, but it's been rather difficult to attain and secure it. It's taught me how to be a survivor and that's precisely what I'm doing.

[Oh for fuck's sake.]

Oh good. Just because you don't see me watching you doesn't mean I don't Atia.

There's nothing wrong with missing your grandchildren. Missing people doesn't make you fucking weak.

Don't fucking call me a filthy slut-whore either, especially when you're sleeping around far more than I am.

You are important to me because you're my inmate. Do you think I go traipsing through shit to save you for no reason?

[veni_vidi_valui]

I don't see why I shouldn't admit to thinking of you in that fashion. It feels rather natural, quite honestly.

What I think is that you all put on a show for us, but behind closed doors, it's completely different. That's how these things always work.

Much like how I've successfully been able to pretend your information is completely lacking in truth, when it's actually rather accurate. Chronologically-speaking, at least... But I'd rather not have to defend myself against accusations, no matter how true, since I know how self-incriminating they'd sound if I did.

Private.

[you_run_i_chase]

We don't put a show on for you. If I put a show on for you don't you think it's a better one?

And yeah, I knew it's accurate. The files always are. Every one of your wardens knew that too, honestly.

So why don't you tell me your reasoning behind them? Why do what you've done?

Re: Private.

[veni_vidi_valui]

It's not for me to fathom why you do these things. Perhaps you'll only get rewarded if following orders to do so.

I don't see why I should be judged in this fashion, in any case. If the gods war between themselves, mortals are expected to. That's the Roman way.

I do what I do, because I feel I must. Because if opportunities slip by, why should I be deserving of more come my way? And because force is the only true leveller.

And yes, I'm not above personal enjoyment, but I've guided my family how I best see fit. Now that Octavian's ruler, it all rather justifies itself, don't you think?

[Mother? D:]

Lady Atia, are you quite sure you want all that to be public knowledge? There is a flood going on, after all. You might want to make this private for now and decide what to do when the flood is over.

[veni_vidi_valui]

Oh, don't think I've been affected. I don't seem to look any different in the mirror, but then... I suppose my memory could always have been affected.

[shortsghtedlove]

Right. Or perhaps even your mind. Truly, during a flood is no time to divulge such personal information.

[veni_vidi_valui]

Whyever not?

[notiaraincluded]

As much of a nag as you were about Franklin's graduation, I'd probably still stimulate you senseless just as a way to release the frustration.

[veni_vidi_valui]

Something I might have pondered, were it not for recently becoming annoyed with you. Arranging to have you raped by lions would be far more entertaining now.

[notiaraincluded]

Unfortunately for you, that wouldn't happen. Even if you actually had access to lions.

[veni_vidi_valui]

Underestimating my capacity for revenge is something others often come to regret.
