Stephanie Brown

[ichoosefight]

I'm totally an open book.

[salamanca]

Name something you regret not doing.

[ichoosefight]

Not doing?

[ There's plenty she regrets doing, but the inverse takes some thought. ]

... Accepting help when I really needed it.

I was too ashamed to admit I'd messed up.

[salamanca]

Shame is an intense feeling. [ He would know after the day he's had. ] Hard to overcome. Not impossible, but hard.

What happened?

[ichoosefight]

What did I mess up, or what was the end result?

[salamanca]

Both. I'm curious about the whole story.

What's your deal, Stephanie? Who are you?

[ichoosefight]

[ Why ]

I... started a massive gang war, accidentally. [ Why, Lalo? ] Hundreds of people died, thousands were injured, there was a blackout and a lot of fires. I don't remember how much property damage they estimated. And I... got hurt.

[ No, Lalo. ]

[aluminumandash]

What're you trying to prove?

[ichoosefight]

That I'm good enough.

[ Oh dear, that's a fast and very unwilling answer. ]

That I deserve a chance. That I can do good, that I don't just... ruin everything.

[aluminumandash]

Shit. [ He says awkwardly. ]

We can call it here if you want.

[ichoosefight]

Sorry. I just... It's...

[ It's really hard to brush things off when you can't lie. ]

That's not why I want to help people. I just... do.

[aluminumandash]

Yeah, well, I shoulda thought about what [ —the fuck— ] I was asking. [ His voice is tight, but the anger's not directed at her.

He chooses his words carefully now. ] Mistakes are natural, at a certain age. Somebody's holding that over your head, it's on them.

[ichoosefight]

I wish it was just my mistakes.

I... Sometimes...

I don't know. I'm just messed up. I don't even know who I'm trying to convince anymore.
