Your regularly scheduled creepy visitor

[killedwithlove]

Who: Cole and anyone who needs him... or wants to chat to him
Broadcast: No
Action: On any ship except Marsiva, Tourist or Red Fish because he avoids visiting two and can't visit the third.
When: While the fleet is moving and probably a bit after

[There is this thing Cole does.

He visits other ships. Sometimes he put the Pathstone alongside to visit and sometimes he takes a shuttle, but he's constantly wandering all over the fleet, being with people, circulating.

He hasn't done it in a while. He got a nasty fright and went into hiding for a while.

But the creepy psychic being is back! Sticking his large nose into all the business.]

[He watches her. Not with pity. He doesn't know pity. With heavy compassion and grief that she's tearing herself apart because it seems too awful to contemplate.]

What you are doesn't make you a monster. it's what you do that matters.

You can be a revenant and not a monster. But you'll keep lashing out and hurting yourself and hurting others if you stay blind.

The world knows me as a monster, a witch. I care little for their opinions, or what they see of me. I care for my own mind and nothing else.

[ She bares her teeth, though, wolflike and dangerous, leaning forward. ]

I am not blind. I see more than any other.

[He vanishes again, appearing once more in the doorway.]

That will make you a monster quicker than the book ever managed.

[And then he's gone. He won't stay and argue. She'll believe it, or she won't. He can't make her see it.]

[ When he disappears she makes a strangled noise, but she knows he is gone this time. There is nothing there but the hollow feeling in her heart, and she moves away.

She runs to hide, because there is nothing else she can do. ]
