"i think i'm a cunt. i'm fine with it."

Rachel sputters on the cigarette that'd been neatly tucked between her lips. She very nearly lets it drop to the ground. She narrowly catches it again in her fingers, maneuvering carefully so she doesn't burn herself. “And…how did we come to this conclusion?” She clears her throat to get the trapped smoke out.

" i didn't mean to hurt them. "

Chell thinks she’s heard that before. Scratch that. She knows she’s heard that before. It was a lie that’d been used to secure her compliance countless times. Like hell she was going to believe it again. Dark brown eyes move up from the grass and to the woman in front of her. She wants to back away but fears that would only trigger an attack. You aren’t supposed to run from predators. She thinks she remembers GLaDOS saying something like that. After a moment of debating her response, she shakes her head, a rather vague indicator of ‘I don’t believe you’.

" thank you for coming back. "

"Don't get used to it." The words cut through her lips.

Amanda didn't want to give the impression that any of this was out of the kindness of her heart. She didn't have any room left for that empathetic bullshit. This woman would serve a purpose and letting her die before it was fulfilled simply wouldn't do. "Just try not to do any more stupid shit. For both our sake."

"you're a fucking animal." (ok girl!!)

“Ain’t the worst thing I’ been called.” Jade isn’t lying either. She’s heard it all. ‘Vulture’, ‘bottom feeder’, ‘traitor’, etc, etc. At the end of the day -- Jade knew they liked that she was the one getting dragged down and not them.

Her hands were dirty while theirs got to stay clean, and they were the suckers lining her pockets for it. Words didn’t mean jack-shit.

“Point is, our friend ain’t above snakes no more and my saddle is lookin’ mighty empty…” Jade kicks the rolled-up body further towards the other woman and then holds out a gloved hand. “I don’t give a rats ass what you call me, long as we got our fair shake. So, there’s yours, and mine is…?”

For that one meme: I love Everything about Cricket!! She's got it all!! Everything a good character needs. A dark and traumatic history, unhinged tendencies, and she's just so deeply developed that she feels so Real and almost tangible. You can truly see all the passion and thought put into her. And also she's sexy!!

AHHH!! cricket and i love u sm. thank youuu

“okay. okay.”

you’re breathless. and you’re grinning. what a big, wide grin, all toothy, these new fangs coming in, these caps currently in place. faux humanity is chic for the moment, and laurie’s waiting here, looking corner to corner to corner, subtly clocking the environment. you put you hands up. climbing gloves.

“here. look. watch! just don’t freak out. i’m still getting the hang of it, but--”

OOF. how about that....! when you run at the wall you-- don’t flip.

nope.

you end up right on the fucking floor, flat on your goddamn back, and you wheeze, lay there on the concrete. cha-cha real smooth, hellcat. you groan. you fucking joke. and then you push off the floor. stand up. you’re not beaten, cat, just a little inconvenienced. dirt clinging to your athleisure wear. a little rough, but-- otherwise? try again.

“it doesn’t always work. let me try again.”
