The Deck -- Late Saturday Morning

[icecoldfrost]

If you listened to radio, there were apparently certain... rumors going around that one Emma Grace Frost was 'Difficult.'

Which in no way, shape, or form, had influenced herself to throw on a white bikini and go lay out on the deck today. While diamond. Far be it from Emma to be that spiteful.

She was simply trying to relax enough to change back. Really. Seeing how many rainbows she could cause or freaking out her fellow classmates was simply a side-bonus.

[OOC: Open deck, open post! I'm at woooooooork and should be amused.]

Well. That got Sookie's attention. Not that Karla hadn't had it to begin with. << Well, I don't really love it, but I'm pretty sure we didn't have other options, >> she said dubiously.

*That's what I said,* Karla sniffed. *He wasn't there, he doesn't get to pass judgment. But, supposedly, we should have handed her over to someone able to take care of her or something. I don't know. Whatever. I don't regret it.*

Haughty disdain to cover up a fair bit of troubled feelings, to be sure.

Yeah, Sookie had sort of caught that that was what she was up to, too. But that was her MO often enough, too. << But there wasn't anyone to hand her over to! The sheriff and his deputy were both there. And Eric's about as much of a supernatural authority I know at home. Plus, it took three of us to work on her before you even got ahold of her, just to get her under control. >>

*Well, according to him, we should have found some other way,* Karla huffed. *Because supposedly, killing is never, ever an option. I'd sure love to know what kind of magical storybook world he's living in where he can believe that!*

<< She tried to kill you first, >> Sookie replied, getting a bit angry. << He wasn't there, he doesn't get to pass judgment. She was powerful enough to kill us all, plus any authority we might have given her to. >>

Karla felt childishly glad that Sookie was taking her side. *Still not a good enough reason. So I told him that next time, I'd let the maenad go and then just tape the newspaper clippings of all her subsequent victims to his door.*

<< There's a reason I asked you not to kill Rene, >> Sookie replied, shaking her head. << It's not like I really...condone killing. We subdued him without anyone -- well, anyone but me -- getting hurt. The maenad was going to kill all of us, starting with you. She needed to be stopped. For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing. What kind of authority does he think we have in Bon Temps? We don't even have our own police department! We have to share with the rest of the parish! >>

*I'm not pleased with the 'why' I killed her,* Karla sent. *I killed her out of fear and rage, not a desire to defend and protect and that was wrong. But I can't regret her death. She was a mad dog. You don't try to reason with a mad dog. You put it down before it has a chance to destroy something you care for.*

<< You didn't set out to kill her from the start of the mission. And if she had been controllable any other way, I might regret it more, >> Sookie admitted. << I don't ever want to have to take a life, myself, but if it's between me or someone I love, and someone who's hurting us, and there's no option C where we all live? The choice is easy. Don't regret it, Karla. I don't. >>
