I am awake

[xp_wallflower]

I have been informed that I am once again a cripple, and it is only the great deal of morphine I currently have coursing through my veins that is keeping me from being in a great deal of pain.

I would like very much to be out of this bed so that I can find a way to rid myself of this entirely too much disability.

I am literally having to dictate this via voice to text.

This is untenable. I will not live my life with only one arm. I am a Doctor. I have things to do, I cannot be a cripple. I won’t be. God, I have so much to do, I’m going to need to call work.

Spare me the pity visits and the sad looks. I have no time for it, or any of you.

behold, the world's smallest violin of fuck you.

you're only as crippled as you want to be, you ableist fuck.

Forgive me if I’m mistaken but are you not the one whose mutant ability allows them to largely ignore their inability to actively see the world around them?

Or was I somehow missing that fact?

Do talk to me when you stop being able to do that though. I believe I might listen to you in such a circumstance.

Still blind. My powers don't make me "less blind," they change how I perceive the world, but I'm still blind.

But whatever you want to use to sleep at night.

I can't get you out of medical but I CAN get you food. All of it.

Thank you. I could use a distraction. Did the nanites infect the mansion server backups?

I don't.. think so? And like, my personal laptop didn't get messed up since it was in my bedroom, so if you've got something in your quarters it should be safe enough for me to get it and bring it to you so you can poke around. We can figure something out with pillows to keep it stable.

[xp_wallflower]

Thank you. That would be deeply helpful right now.

Laurie...you've been through a lot and your first inclination is to lash out at people when you're hurt and angry. Take a step back and give yourself time to process. Don't take it out on the others. It's not their fault. The blame is with Fixer.

[xp_wallflower]

No, not their fault. Just yours.

[xp_phoenix]

Okay, sure. It's my fault.

[xp_wallflower]

Then leave me well alone. You have done enough damage for more than one lifetime, do you not think?

[xp_phoenix]

I'm not sure what you mean but I will leave you alone, if that's what you want.

You watch yourself, girlie.
