Bolton's Office Hours

[Want to chat with Bolton privately? Here is where you do it! Bolton's office hours will be held in conference room B in the library for approximately four hours in the morning several days a week. During that time the blinds will be drawn and that room will be off-limits unless you're there to talk to Bolton, though the other three study rooms will still be available for use.


Comments are screened for privacy.]

And to you.

[ Her face, however, is hard to read. She walks inside and takes a seat, putting both her hands on the cup and gripping it tight. ]

You must tell me why I am named the heretic.

[ Except he definitely does not, and will probably say as much. She's pleading, not stating. ]

There can be but little to remember. I awoke with my mother's blood upon me. Please.

It just comes at the risk of someone else dying. This experiment... How can you go along with it? Isn't it wrong?

[A call back is all she needs.

Jane enters quietly, closing the door behind her. She doesn't move to sit down, or anything - instead, she glances around to get an idea of how Bolton keeps his office before meeting the man's eyes.

And...

...Doesn't say anything. Jane just...stares at Bolton. Quietly. Intensely. It'd be intimidating if she also wasn't a teenage girl with a still-blotchy face from yesterday's crying and whatever emotions her recent memory had given her.]

Is that because you aren't allowed to tell us or because you don't know?

[Her eyes flicker to the book for a moment - out of curiosity, what is Bolton reading? - before she looks back up at him.]

...Where are the bodies of the victims kept?

[The PIP surely won't let her, but...the Lifey Thing is still in her. It always has been - she just didn't know it. But now that she does, she can't get it out of her mind. She's a God Tier. She has the power. She should use it, even if it can only bring back a few of the people who were here, even if...]
cyan_maid: (Eugh! No thanks!)

[The only outward indication of her sinking heart is that her hands, clasped in front of her, begin to shake.]

...You all really did your homework on all of us, didn't you?

[ She watches him closely, her heart pounding, though the words he says make her face fall anyway. What is this? ]

But you...

[ Thomasin's voice trails off like she's looking for a way to word persuasively enough. In reality, she's trying to read the napkin, which she takes from Bolton and pulls closer to her. She stares down at it for quite a bit, then looks back up. Her eyes lock on his face. ]

Why? I know 'tis not just what happened in my last dream. I know it is not for Father's choice.

[ She ducks her chin down and brings it back up, willing him to see the comprehension in her eyes. ]

Can I not at least tell you my thought?
refusedtoleave: (This way)

[personal profile] refusedtoleave 2017-03-12 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a reason for that? Would what we've forgotten change how well you'd be able to manipulate us?

[She flinches.]

And how do we know if you're trying to use someone who's already dead as a hostage?

[Not even giving him time to answer. She even slams the door as she storms out.]
cyan_maid: (Unsure...)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2017-03-12 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jane stiffens a bit.]

...I can't make one out of nothing. I could - reattach limbs, if...that's part of the problem...[The problem being "death", see [S]: Collide] Knit flesh together...probably excise a disease...

[If it's a death, and it's just the one time, she can reverse it. But no one here is exactly a phoenix.]
cyan_maid: (That is ENOUGH)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2017-03-12 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

Too many names want to be said, but Jane holds them in tightly.]


Why...do you ask that? I-I don't want to know if there's some - some kind of system here where your bosses pick and choose which of us are going to kill each other, I won't - I won't participate in anything like that!

[Now she's actually getting upset, tears quick to flow. Wrong question, Bolton.]
cyan_maid: (That is ENOUGH)

[personal profile] cyan_maid 2017-03-12 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't you think she's been thinking that too, amongst everything else? She lets him speak, takes a breath.]

...No. Just - just the dead. It's not like...healing something. It's revival. And if that means someone's gotten their head cut off or couldn't fight off a plague, then I can - I think I can fix that, but I can't take away someone's cold, or - or -

[The tears are coming faster now. Jane grits her teeth, both palms coming up to wipe them away frantically.]
