[Private to 21, VOICE]

We need to talk.

[Private to Hoffman, VOICE]

I'm guessing you've already seen the new arrival.

[Amanda knows Simone from having watched Saw VI and Saw 3D with Sarah.]

[Private to Admiral Claus, TEXT]

This is fucking stupid, so I'm just going to get it over with. I've been here long enough to know resisting this kind of bullshit does nothing.

For my warden, I want you to give him some video games. Whatever titles he wants but doesn't have; I know jack shit about the things. Maybe a fairy in a bottle, too, if you can arrange something that ridiculous. A realistic model of one, a real one, whatever.

Blonsky should get some new sparring gear, so he doesn't need to use the public shit in the gym. I'm talking top-of-the-line stuff.

For Rhade, a full new outfit in his personal style. Something really nice. Quality leather and workmanship. ~~Maybe something impervious to suddenly becoming tweed.~~

I want you to give Lua something pretty. Maybe a necklace. Silver, with whatever that light blue gemstone is. Not sapphire; I don't know what it's called.

[She's thinking of topaz.]

~~For Rex~~

~~How could you let him~~

You absolute fucking bastard

~~Bring him back~~

That's it.

Everything all right, Amanda?

'Everything all right'? My best fucking friend disappears off the goddamn ship and now one of the Jigsaw survivors shows up as a fucking warden. What do you think?!

...I'm sad Rex is gone, too. But I'm pretty sure he's all right, wherever he is. He's a cartoon supervillain. Nothing gets rid of those for good.

What survivor?

He's not from the fucking cartoon!

Simone. Simone Betheson. I haven't seen her around here yet but I know she's got a prosthetic arm.

And he was fine at the end of the movie I saw. You can't sell action figures of a dead guy. I promise you: he's fine.

What, the chick who had to hack it off and put it on a scale? That was fucking grisly.

He'd fuckin' better be.

[She's had nightmares that he isn't.]

Yeah, her. Hoffman designed that trap independently. Obviously. No fucking elegance to it.

How are you feeling about that?

I don't fucking want her here. I especially don't want her here as a fucking warden.

She destroyed lives, too. What makes her a better person than me? More deserving of not being an inmate?

If we want to just talk about people doing bad things and people doing good things and putting them into those broad categories, Amanda, then the difference between you and her is that she realized she was doing something wrong and she stopped before she got killed.

You've gotta avoid doing what some of the other Inmates are doing and making this about this place being a prison for Inmates versus Wardens who are just as bad and get away with everything.

It's not fucking prison, Amanda. You've been inside. You know the difference between this and that, and it's not gonna be black and white for her either.

I know we did wrong, okay? The Jigsaw group, we did wrong and we fucked up, but that doesn't make the shit our victims pulled right.

If anyone's making this black and white it's the fucking Admiral.

Since when does being a Warden mean automatically "right"? She's here to fucking help someone!

She "helped" a lot of people back in our world. I hope she's fucking changed her methods!

Did we even watch the same movies, Amanda?

Barring supervillains, how many people do you know at her age that leave school and look for work because they eat, breathe, and shit 'fucking people over' and want to make it a career? Really.

If you're not supposed to suffer forever for something that you did, then you need to walk the walk and let other people have the same chance.

Geez!

...Yes.

[He has not been sleeping since and has been hiding thank you.]

The question is, does she know you're here?

No.

[God. He can't talk to people about this. Except he wants to. And Amanda...is the only person who would get it.]

Edited 2011-12-12 23:38 (UTC)

Don't even think about putting your hands on her.

...Are you serious?

Are you fucking serious? What, she's on your list of protectees now? You two are friends now?

No, you stupid son of a bitch. I don't want to know her, and I don't care about her feelings or her safety at the hands of anyone else.

It just needs to fucking stop.

[Because-wait what?]

What?

What needs to stop.

The Jigsaw bullshit. It's time to stop it.

[WAIT. WAIT. The Jigsaw bullshit? There's a very long pause. A very long pause.]

...Okay.

How...How did you arrive at this conclusion?

I stopped fucking lying to myself. Being taken in and cared for by someone who didn't expect me to fill a role in return helped.

[Sarah had helped, in both her presence and absence. Having her yanked away had taught Amanda exactly how much the woman had given her in their time together. It was an enormous reality check.]

I love him, Hoffman, and I forgive him for everything, but he was wrong.

[Hoffman is struggling in with a lot of feelings on this. His relationship with Sarah, the way Amanda's made such leaps and strides. She sounds almost like a fucking-

Isn't that what I wanted? Isn't that what I fucking...

Another long text pause. Several minutes pass.]

...Congratulations.

[Added shortly after]

It's done. Game over.

Edited 2011-12-13 00:10 (UTC)

I don't want your praise. I just want you to let that shit die.
