There is a sickness about this place... and with it, she blamed the cabin fever of 6 years underground, and what that did to a person. When they’d crashed the Ark into the Earth, it’s surface, ravaged, by the madness of Praimfaya, she hadn’t known what to expect with what this place had become. Knowing that space had been madness enough for her, that she hadn’t known herself the way that she thought she had, when faced with another 6 years of near isolation after tasting real freedom for the first time in her life. Hadn’t known that the friends that had been left within known safety had instead been driven into madness and depravity... that Octavia, the brilliant girl with dark hair and blue eyes, with the ribbon in her hair, would become...
... a monster. That was what she learned from the soft conversations she had in the background. Toni having a way of learning just how to get a person to trust her, to open up. The fear itself, infectious and angry, all afraid to defy even the smallest ordinance that came down from above. A girl on a throne. That was no place for her, not after all the bloodshed that she’d caused, her lips pressed together in anger, but knowing that sense was no longer the means within which she could touch her once friend, and hope to find sanity. No, there was something power, absolute, that corrupted... and was this not evidence of that?
Exhaling slow, wishing she knew what to say when she slipped from her small space into that which guarded their fair leader. Guarded by so many that didn’t wish to give her passage, pleading, softly, she was quiet about everything. Louder, when they denied her more, and louder still, until she came out herself. No more ribbons. Just darkness and soot, streaked about her face. “What the hell is this? You won’t even see me anymore?” there was a hurt within her voice, interlocked within her tone. “I... what the hell, O?” even as someone shoved her for daring to speak to her like that, Toni only pushing back, anger within her movements. She hadn’t fucking survived for 6 years to come back to this.
