[Funny thing about Elektra: when she's not being unnecessarily paranoid, she's reckless. After throwing caution to the wind and sampling this, she's happy for the first time in years. There's a soft smile on her lips as she addresses the camera. She's holding what people might recognize as the note accompanying the chocolate sent out.]

"Where love might bring about sorrow, it also welcomes joy." [She flips the card over in her hand and sets it down offscreen.] It's a nice sentiment. True too.

[A beat.] What do people around here do to make themselves happy anyways? [They can't all be emotionless robots like her.]

Comments

[likethetragedy]

... I did. [Yeah she can't even front. It was a reckless and stupid thing to do.]

How can you tell? [Elektra is actually pretty aware of what's going on, but hey if she's drugged she might have missed something.]

For one thing, I've never seen a ninja ask a bunch of kidnappees what to do for fun.

That conniving witch. Freya, luv, not you. She must've drugged the chocolate. [ he's actually a little impressed. ]

[likethetragedy]

We are a serious bunch. [She admits casually.] You know you could sound a little less pleased with her.

[allbloodyhail]

Yeah, but where would the fun in that be?

[likethetragedy]

Being a supportive friend could be fun. Probably. [Like she knows.]

[allbloodyhail]

Like you would know. [ he calls em like he sees em. ]

[likethetragedy]

I could learn.

[allbloodyhail]

[ he almost says he could teach her, but that seems even too cruel for spike. ]

You know about the carnival? In Hel district.

[likethetragedy]

Not really. [Willful ignorance. She usually passive aggressively ignores these things.]

[allbloodyhail]

That's a shame, luv. It's a lot of fun.

[likethetragedy]

... I guess I could give it a shot.

[allbloodyhail]

Thatta girl. It's not even all that creepy, either.
