[ She shakes her head. ]

Darla - Cassie - whatever - you're a white woman. We're both white women. You're educated, you're very clever. You're clearly a survivor of some sort with plenty of resources. Me too. I am too. We're not rich white men, so we're not at the absolute top of the mountain, but we're bloody far up on it. After society crumbles, we'll be fine. Others won't. Are you really happy throwing them away? Their lives? Is the point of this to make the world better, or is the point of this to watch shit burn just to watch it burn?

Oh, would you shut the fuck up.

[More bitter than angry. She's not going to throw any chairs around or slap any hummingbirds this time.]

I'm talking about a hard reset. Hard. All system wipe down. What are you talking about?

From:

rathercommon

[ She shakes her head - ]

Revolution.

$nastygram: (C:\BFI)$

From:

nastygram

Revolution.

[Darlene repeats, steadily.]

A nice, clean revolution.

From:

rathercommon

[ A firmer shake of her head. ]

There's no such thing.

$nastygram: (C:\gilley)$

From:

[Darlene throws her head back on her shoulders and expels a huge breath. Smiles bitterly at the sky.]

And here comes the holier-than-thy-revolution shit again. Look, babe-- [As she rolls her head around to look at Kitty again.] Just tell me already. Describe your revolution to me, okay, where did I go wrong.

From:

rathercommon

[ Again, a shake of her head. ]

Describe your revolution to me, and I'll tell you where you'll go wrong.

$nastygram: (C:\jrst)$

From:

nastygram

You have got to be kidding me. Did you forget to turn your hearing aids on, grandma? I just did. I told you.

From:

rathercommon

[ Dismissively: ]

Right, yeah. Tear it all down, hard reset, all that. I'm not talking about big ideas. A revolution doesn't work on big ideas. It works on a plan. What's your plan?

$nastygram: (C:\bogosity)$

From:

nastygram

Fuck you.

[--She answers, like that's her plan.]

From:

rathercommon

[ With a sigh: ]

I can't affect your plan at home. If it's an issue of trust. Even if you thought I was some rat or something - which I'm not, I wouldn't ever even if I hated your plan - I couldn't possibly affect things from here.

$nastygram: (C:\notwork)$

From:

nastygram

No shit.

Seriously. What do you care. What's with the third goddamn degree? Are you some kind of revolutionary guru? If I lay it all out for you, are you going to give me advice? Tell me to think of the children? Or do you just get off on critting other revolutions?

From:

rathercommon

No. I'll try to have a conversation with you. I'd like to talk to you about all of this, and about revolutions generally, but it's bloody hard to do when the conversation keeps screeching to a halt so you can prove how bloody secretive you are and how much you disapprove of me and my choices.

$nastygram: (C:\livelock)$

From:

nastygram

Don't flatter yourself. I'm not being secretive to impress you. I'm being secretive because I don't want to talk to you.

I explained the part I want to explain. Okay? I don't have a manifesto to show you. It's like barely my frickin' plan anyways. And what we wanted was exactly what I told you, which was to start over, from zero. That is the plan.

From:

rathercommon

Whose plan is it, then?

$nastygram: (C:\bogosity)$

From:

nastygram

[U g h.]

Is this bitch-won't-quit routine part of you establishing trust with me?

From:

rathercommon

No. This is me wanting to know. Like I said, I'm interested in revolutions.

$nastygram: (C:\BFI)$

From:

nastygram

Okay. Well, cool. Start a blog. But I don't give a shit about tearing anything in this place down. And I don't want to compare notes.

I want to leave. That's what I'm interested in.

From:

rathercommon

Why there and not here? Why one revolution, but not the other?

$nastygram: (C:\killerpoke)$

From:

nastygram

As far as I've seen, there is no revolution here.

From:

rathercommon

[ She waves her hand. ]

There is if you create it. Bet there wasn't a revolution back home till you made that one, either. So why was it worth making a revolution at home, but it's not worth it to make one here? People are people in every world. They need to be freed in every world.

$nastygram: (C:\suckingmud)$

From:

nastygram

[Steadily, she meets Kitty's eye.]

The revolution that I want here is the one where I pack my shit and go home.

From:

rathercommon

[ Fine. ]

It'll happen eventually.

[ She idly lifts her leg and points her toe - an incongruously girlish gesture that clashes oddly with her appearance. ]

It happens for everyone.
