heh

Well, Zara's issue... she wants Paler to STOP. She wants him to never hurt anyone again. She wants her family to be free and loved ones safe...

But this is Zara. And death is an abomination.

And she doesn't think he'll stop unless he's dead.

Yes. It's a nasty 'Joker forces Batman to kill ?' question

Yeah

Zara doesn't want to kill him. And if, say, she passed the buck - that... doesn't help.

Making Miriam a killer?

AUGUST?

Earl at this point might do it and scare himself at house eagerly he wanted to

CLem? In a fight? If she couldn't transform him, she'd snap his neck and call it a day. That's the Regent/Savage side of her... one of her people (And Zara is in that umbrella) was being attacked by a rabid animal. You put rabid animals down and cry about the neceessity later.

Remember, castration was her 'compromise'

To keep Bunny and Zara both mollified. Savage/Regent made a judgement and split him in half... genitals on one side, the resst of him on the other

true

Zara feels responsible for stopping him

nod So does Miriam. Mother and daughter have somethings in common

Yup

But Zara sees Miriam as a victim to be protected, not a protector

She's also trying to protect the Uncles, who, arguably, outpower her

Yup. Now Vashti? She considers herself damaged goods. Give her a knife and paler's bare throat.. and SHE will handle it

Z does not like THAT either

though Vashti has certainly earned that right

Relatively, Z has been fairly protected and undamaged

The biggest thing being Miriam... and Miriam was more hurt than Zara was

There's all sorts of damage. Zara has lost her mother for a time, and had a life time of guilt, and months of psychological abuse

she doesn't see it as equal, though

I mean, she's stressed out and frayed... but...

Alas, Vashti can't talk straight to give her opinion on that. It would probably come out as "Ah yes, there is always someone worse off, is there not? So endure your injustices placidly, ignore your petty hurts as they bleed on your shoes and ache, and thank your lucky stars that the next victim has lost all 4 limbs so you can take pride in how you still have your right leg to scoot around with. huzzah" Flat faced

Well... yes.

Like how she couldn't tell Miriam how they tried keeping Zara on the farm, in hiding...

And she was flatly miserable

but what's the farm to, you know, imprisonment, torture and sexual slavery?

Yes. Earl has in the past put his foot down on folks trying to contain her against her will again. Not that folks always pay attention to that, but zara was miserable, said so, and he accepted it wasn't a way to live for her.

She's already much more constrained than she used to be

Firnost is too risky

So... her home, ER's library, and the Farm.

She's in AH only for the trod

Yes. Earl's been pondering taking her to the Baltics. You want some old time slavic religion? Assuming they can avoid Varich, she would get her river goddess on

I don't think she even ventures much into Scarsdale, since he's been known to troll about there.

Homeschool

so - there are days she simply doesn't even leave the house.

Earl takes charge!

ha

Vashti's plan would so work.. okay not work but mm

but amuse!

Yes. I trhink in her freedom, while Vashti will never be a typical pooka, she is indulging more in kith nature

wait till you see her Carnival costume

unlikely to beat the Uncles...

but looking forward?

Well in case I forget something like this
