Reflect What You Are [video]

[It's not that Bianca hasn't been enjoying the party. She's been everywhere, but fleetingly: pouring drinks, drinking toasts, absorbing the ambience, drinking some more. She has made no effort to take centre stage - till now.

It's during the last days, when everyone is feeling the worse for wear and the riotousness has died down some, that Bianca appears on the network.

She is not on a stage, not using one of the karaoke machines. She's in her house, the lights low, and one of her pet hyenas props her back up while the other acts as a footrest. She has an open bottle of tequila in one hand, and the carcasses of several empties lie around her. When she stares into the video feed, the unfocused look in her eyes suggests that standing up might currently be beyond her power. Her mirror lies on her lap.

Instead of speaking, Bianca starts to sing. Her voice is deep, powerful and true, and she doesn't speak until the song is finished.]


My cavemates. My friends. I fell here from a great ship between the stars, one just as inescapable and dark as these tunnels, just as full of monsters.

It had its own mirror, its own equal and opposing force. I shall not bore you with the tale of the two ships' struggle for dominance, of how I changed sides and fought at my own side for love and redemption.

[She says these words with derisive emphasis, and then smiles.]

I was sure I would die. What does one do, after one's great heroic sacrifice is rejected? After one wakes from the final battlefield to find oneself on another battlefield, ridden by yet more gods and monsters?

[She answers her own question by raising her bottle shakily to take another deep swallow.]

I am Bianca. Tell me, my children, where did you arrive here from? Where is your home?

[Rey has always liked music. From the day of her creation, it's had a calming quality about it. With no radio beyond her music player with an unsavory variety of the same songs, she more than welcomes the tunes coming from her communicator.

[There is silence following, after hearing what Bianca has to say in the wake of her song. It's a revelation that demands some thought before an answer can form itself.]


Was supposed to die as well, but that choice was taken away -- repeatedly. Was angry about it at first. Not so certain how to feel about it now.

Haven't yet figured out what one is supposed to do about it yet.

[Not even the network is safe from all this partying. Fan-fucking-tastic. And not only is this drunken bullshit, it's dramatic drunken bullshit. At least this Bianca lady can sing.

But just.

Goddamnit. Everyone needs to shut up or take the party elsewhere, holy shit.

Emily looks a little disgruntled, but put together (it's how she rolls) when she videos in.]


So you came here... to help all us children.

[Riight.]

Okay. I'll play.

I came here from hell. My home is hell. There's people with flamethrowers there, it's on fire, and it's also frozen over.

It sucks.

[Well, a lot of this sounds... Familiar, in a way. Not the part about spaceships--if that's even what she's talking about--or about the mirror, at least other than the mirrors given to them by Hope. But about some of the rest of it he can understand, even though a few months ago he never would've thought he'd be able to say such a thing.]

I uh... I dunno if you were here for the whole wendigo thing, but that was what was going on at home. We'd just gotten out of all of that and ended up here.

[So yeah, out of one terrible situation and directly into another. That isn't the only part of what she said that he can empathize with, but it's the only part he's willing to talk about.]

[... Oh. Nick knows this song a little too well. Kennedy used to sing it at open mic night sometimes; sometimes she'd sing it when it was just the two of them, together, alone. Hearing it again, sung by someone else - it's more painful than Nick expected.

A lot of what Bianca says doesn't make sense, or maybe Nick's just a little too far on this side of drunk to follow it. One thing does stick out to her though, through the deadening haze of alcohol:]

[The sounds of singing catch Firo's attention, and he strolls into the room just in time to catch the tail end of her post. He'd been trying to nurse a headache from all the ruckus, but it was a fruitless endeavor. At least this was interesting.]

You've got some pipes on you. Dunno what any of that means, but it sounded good.

[He settles against the wall, arms folded. The question she'd closed the broadcast with echoes in his mind. He finds himself thinking back to their first meeting and smiles as if they're sharing a secret.]

I probably don't have to tell you much about the place I was in before. Unless--I dunno, maybe prison's different for ladies.

Anyway. That place definitely wasn't home.
