This muse has been added to a multimuse blog @wallsofdreaming​. I’ve consolidated all of my muses in one place to make it easier for me to maintain activity when muse for a particular character is low. While I’ll be keeping the original blog in place in case I ever regain enough muse to warrant an individual blog, for now this is simply a way to make inactive muses once again available for interaction.

There are probably a lot of muses on this blog you’re not interested in seeing; I’m tagging everything so that you can blacklist muses’ names and remove them from your dashboard.

“Sounds like a hell of a case. I’d love to meet whatever attorney they find who’s willing to take THAT one on. Besides-- I don’t think the law applies posthumously.”

               It’s hard not to find the whole situation a little comical, and it’s inherently good for her to do so. She’s finally in a place in her life where she can relax; it’s been over a decade since she’s been kept awake at night because of a chilling voice on the other end of the phone, since she’s had to watch friends die around her, one by one, until the person responsible reveals themselves. She can interact with people without fearing that somehow, for some reason, they’ll end up a target – and she’s finally crafted a more accurate image for herself. So as he over-explains, she nods along, letting him finish before she interjects. 
              “Yeah – I think they are.” It’s the closest she’ll get to tooting her own horn as she adjusts the strap of her purse, offering him a kind smile. “Really, I don’t mind. Who knows? I might find some interesting material to add to my reading list.” Unlikely that translations would be the way to go, but she was open minded.

“You know, I don’t think I’ve heard anybody call this stuff INTERESTING for at least a couple of years now. Actually, talking about it has sort of become my signature way of emptying a room.” Though he laughs at his own expense, the joke comes with a bitter pang of truth. It doesn’t matter what sort of Earth-shattering revelations he deals with on a day-to-day basis; give him a lecture hall full of scholars and he’ll still come out at the butt-end of every joke.

“Are you really interested in Vedic translations and Ethiopian kings or are you just HUMORING me?” Bad question-- he already knows the answer. But he feels he ought to at least grant her the mercy of a gracious exit. And if she chooses not to take it, well-- it’s sure to go downhill from here, but at least he tried.

          She’s immersed in the biographies section of the store when her internal debate on whether to pick up another book for the last leg of the trip is interrupted. Confusion spreads across her face for a few seconds before realization dawns on her, a small, friendly smile pulling at the corners of her mouth as she shakes her head. 
         “I’m sorry – I don’t work here, I’m just –” promoting my memoir. It hits her that such a line sounds pretentious (especially given that the book signing ended roughly a half hour ago). “I could help you look?”

As soon as she turns around he realizes his MISTAKE. She’s a little older than most of the employees and-- notably-- lacking a name tag.

Dammit.

“Wow, I honestly didn’t-- um. YIKES. I wish I could say this is the first time that’s happened, but it’s kind of becoming a bad habit. I guess I’ve just gotten used to having the non-fiction section to myself. Still, I should have known. I guess the store’s promoting some big new bestseller, right?” She probably doesn’t care any more than he does, but his foot’s properly in his mouth and he’s got no GRACEFUL way to get it back out again. So he’s doing what comes naturally to him: grasping unsuccessfully at straws.

             “Good point – well, speeches have never really been my THING. I’ll do a couple rewrites and get back to you…. So! Does this make me the evil twin or something?”

“No, you’re just the JERK twin. You’ll probably die in the second act when the real killer mistakes you for me. But don’t worry-- your death will give me plenty of angst fodder for later.”

“[The decimation of a sentient race such as the Goa’uld is] sort of a double edge sword, because on the one hand, this is an evil race—they are trying to destroy Earth so we do need to protect ourselves from it… By the same token, the character of Teal’c was one of them and has gone to the other side: he’s an incredibly warm character, loyal, dedicated and honourable. So I have this thing where I think: what if I’m killing another Teal’c? This guy has a wife and family… But you’re in a war situation, and war is war. You do whatever you need to protect yourself, your country or in this case, protect the planet. But there’s part of me that thinks there’s got to be… you know, sort of bad Karma with that, and I would love to show how they, and especially Carter—’cause I play her—deals with that when she puts her head down on her pillow at night. Does she think about that? I think that she would, there would be great feelings of guilt sometimes. You know, you talk to any soldier who’s been through a war and there’s this sort of shell shock: ‘Oh my God, what have I done? My comrade in arms beside me was killed, he has a wife and child and we shot that guy…’ You know there is an interconnection to the human race and we never really deal with that.
Carter’s not especially ‘trigger happy’ but has she become desensitised to combat? “Yes. Because it’s war, you’re in a situation; the Goa'ulds are coming over the hill and they’re gonna take over the base; you’ve got to stop them with whatever means possible. That’s the soldier mentality and you have to have that, otherwise what are you doing there? As a human being, there’s a sense of consequence, how do you deal with that consequence? I wish they would write a back story; how do you deal with this, what are the psychological implications?” It’s a subject Amanda talked to the executive producers about; maybe they could broach it into the show? But they didn’t warm to the idea. “We’re in a genre,” Amanda explains, “it’s a sci-fi show, not a soap opera…”
