creatingalegacy | } 021 - [VIDEO] - it had to happen eventually

[Amanda is broadcasting from the infirmary, and she looks like hell. She's death-tolling after Hoffman punctured her lung and broke every bone in her body, ending in her neck, and is in agony from head to toe. She's got an oxygen tube in her nose because it hurts to breathe too deeply.]

John introduced me to a lot of things. There were many nights where we'd read each other poetry, or works of philosophy. He'd put on classical music just for me to hear it, and when his headaches became too awful for him to focus his vision on words, I'd read to him from some of the great works of literature. Or we'd watch a film.

[She's not just saying this to show Hoffman exactly how much John favored her. She's working up to a point.]

He brought me into a world I was too disadvantaged to experience. I was his daughter, and I would give anything for him. If he told me he needed my arm for something, I'd grab an axe and politely inquire if he'd mind fitting me with the fucking tourniquet.

[She pauses with a look of shock, because OH SHIT. That was an accidental confession, and the honesty was particularly horrifying in a way she did not want shared with the world. She quickly decides to pretend it never happened.]

In addition to everything else, he taught me about the mythologies of many cultures; right now, the tale of Prometheus comes to mind. For his crimes against the gods, Prometheus was bound to a rock, and every day a fearsome eagle would come to tear out and consume his liver. After each consumption, the liver would grow back, only to be eaten anew the next day. A never-ending torment.

[Thanks for your patience, audience! She's finally arrived at her point, and her expression becomes one of pure, seething hatred.]

Listen to me, Hoffman, because for you? I am that eagle. I will make you pay for what you did to him and to Jill, and you will always, always come back good as new. For every restoration, I will kill you again. You failed your test, and until the death you earned manages to stick...well, I'm sure you know.

I said I'd give anything for him, and this is it. The rest of my existence will be spent ensuring that he and the love of his life are avenged.

[OOC NOTE: Some time after this post, Amanda will be nanomited by some random affected warden. If her replies to some of the comments on this seem out of character for her, THAT'S WHY.]

You caught me by surprise. It won't happen again.

I will kill you until you stay dead.

I've said it before. I'll say it again. You sure about that?

I'd love to talk face to face, but you seem to be indisposed. Tell me, how's it feel to have to breath through a tube?

I was on a ventilator before you showed up, so I've felt worse.

You don't have any advantages over me here, unless you count size and weight. Personally? I'd rather have the advantage of intelligence.

You can't make me angry.

[And yet he sounds very angry]

You can't.

Because every time you talk I remember what it was like to...

[There is a pause]

I blocked it out. What I did to you. I blocked it out temporarily apparently. It was so much fun I had to wipe it from my memory. But it's coming back. You want to know something Amanda? It's coming back and I am loving every minute of it.

You don't want to know what you've done. What hell I am going to unleash on you.

Really? I never blocked out the way it felt to scramble your entrails around like hamburger, or the resistance of your abdominal wall as the blade punched through your fat fucking gut.

You blocked it out because you were too weak to handle it.

[He smiles wolfishly]

I'm going to enjoy thinking of another way to kill you.

I'm learning a lot about myself thanks to you. Killing Jill was a thing. Oh sure I think I might have started to understand this then, but killing Jill was just a thing. Someone hurts you, you hurt them back.

I feel like I can tell you this. Just between the two of us.

Thanks.

I never knew I liked brutality this much.

Might just apply to you though. I'm looking forward to finding out.

Here's an idea: sit on me. Fast and efficient.

[The fu...]

...You didn't just say that.

If you're responding to it, then clearly, I did.

[He is...too surprised to be upset]

[he looks away before looking back] What are you, five?

The last time somebody pulled a crack like that I was in high school. I locked the kid in a locker.

You've been a neanderthal since high school...that explains so much. No wonder you can't change.

...What the fuck?

Okay first of all, I was on the football team. I got a scholarship. second of all, my dad was a big guy so it runs in the family, and third-

wait, why am I defending this to you?

[He sounds unsure] Being childish like this is beneath you.

[IT IS. However, there's a reason for it: she's been working up to this.]

You're right. Would it make you feel better if I brought up your sister again?

[There is a mad scramble and a sound like clanking metal. Hoffman is scrambling to try and get up from his bed.]

Do you know what felt the best? [He laughed] I'll tell you. I'll tell you, it was the knowledge that every single time I fucking kill you? You know you're not going back to your mommy and daddy!

[He's foaming at the mouth] Get that through your head. I'll call a fucking warden every single time! I want you to come back to this hell hole and know you'll never see them again!

Then, then, then you'll know how I fucking feel!

And no matter how many times I kill you, you'll never go back to dear little Angie. [YES, using that nickname is deliberate.]

[Amanda can probably hear him trying to get out of bed again]

You want to die again so soon? Gladly. I'll build a trap [and it'll be awesome!] You'll have to eat yourself to get out!

I doubt I'm flexible enough for that. [She laughs. SHE'S LAUGHING AT YOUR ANGER, HOFFMAN.] By all means, though, keep displaying this impotent rage very time I mention the sister you failed to protect. It's so hard to find entertainment in here.

[Something snaps inside of him and he starts to scream]

YOU FUCKING BITCH! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!
