013 - You used to be much more..."muchier." You've lost your muchness.

Um. What happens if I broke it?

[ Kara looks vaguely terrified, and she's holding what appears to be Dean's (or maybe Ben's, has anyone noticed how alike they look?) porcelain head gingerly by its hair. The rest of the doll is conspicuously absent. ]

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, it just sort of... crumbled in my hand.

[ His feet are on the floor somewhere. ]

Comments

[surfaceshine]

[Well someone looks pale. Like, hello sheet of freckles not previously visible pale.

His voice isn't shaking, though. Maybe it's just the cold making him look like maybe he just dodged a bullet. Right.]

Um.

[notdreaming]

I'm really, really sorry.

[ But he looks kind of okay, so...? ]

[secretasshole]

Have you spoken to Dean or Ben, recently?

[strongerthanyouthink]

Who?

[secretasshole]

[... What the fuck, who is this.]

Who are you?

[strongerthanyouthink]

Who are you?

[secretasshole]

My name is David. Are you a recent arrival?

[notdreaming]

Well, Dean seems okay...

[ Oh Rao did she just kill Ben ]

[secretasshole]

Then I would recommend looking for Ben.

[notdreaming]

[ She disappears for like, five seconds. ]

It looks like he's fine too.

[walkingmeltdown]

[He's trying not to laugh. SORRY KARA HE'S AWFUL.]

Good job, Kryptonian! Think this might be why almost as much of our planet is afraid of you and your kind as they are prone to calling you all heroes.

Don't tell me. Your wrist slipped.

[notdreaming]

I never wanted to come to Earth, or get these powers in the first place!

[halfofeverything]

That can hardly be the worst thing to happen to a doll, hm?

[surfaceshine]

No it's uh. It's fine, darlin'.

Don't suppose you happened to see what kinda clothes it was wearing?

[surfaceshine]

Hey. Glow-in-the-dark Asshole.

Back off.

[notdreaming]

I decapitated it.

[ She sounds so miserable. ]

[notdreaming]

Um.

[ She didn't look closely at the clothes before it shattered. ]

It has blue pants? [ There are bits of those left! ]

[surfaceshine]

Okay, that was... probably me.

[He glances down, pats his own chest, coughs and then feels his neck.

Nope. He shakes his head and looks back up, visibly relieved.]

I'm fine.

[notdreaming]

Really? Oh, thank Rao.

[surfaceshine]

Yeah, I don't...

That's weird. Everyone else is... You're sure that's one-a the new ones? Or something?

[notdreaming]

I'm not really sure about anything. I picked it up and then kind of... crushed it.

[surfaceshine]

Can you do it again? [Cough.]

Hold on, lemme move out into the hallway.

[notdreaming]

Do... what? You want me to crush the head?

[surfaceshine]

Yeah. It's the only thing left, right?

Okay, go ahead.

[notdreaming]

Well, alright, I mean, if you're sure...

[ She's much more careful this time when she takes the thing between thumb and index finger. There's just the slightest twitch of movement and CRACK. Tiny little pieces. ]
