Genevieve had just opened her mouth to reassure the white-haired boy that yes, of course she was willing to show them, when a disaster masquerading as a human being came walking out of the ship. Ten minutes ago she would never have guessed anyone could be this aggressively [i]anything,[/i] and yet, here they were.

She'd never had a gun held on her before. Not even when they'd come to arrest her after her father died. Then, the guards had been so [i]baffled,[/i] so sure that there had been some mistake, that they'd treated her kindly; later, of course, they weren't nearly so forgiving, but even then, no one looked at her and thought 'dangerous convict—go get the big guns.' 

Still, though, the cold barrel pressing into her stomach made her freeze solid, but she didn't cry out, didn't scream, didn't even flinch away. If she was going to be dead, she would be dead—no reflexes in the world would save her from a bullet or a pulser or whatever the hell this was. Instead, Ginny just stared wide-eyed into the other girl's face. She'd been waiting five years to die, she wasn't going to collapse in hysterics now. 

When her chin was gently tilted upwards, though, and a sharp-edged smile was tossed in her direction by the same girl that had threatened her life, she was...admittedly confused. She stood there for a moment, mouth hanging open slightly, as a gauntlet was thrown down that couldn't be ignored.

[color=YellowGreen]"What is [i]wrong[/i] with you?"[/color] Ginny demanded, shoulders hunched up but her eyes flashing with uncharacteristic anger. [color=YellowGreen]"Is this the first thing you think of? Killing each other off without a second thought? Regressing back to the Dark Ages?"[/color]

She turned to the crowd, eyes wide in pure disbelief that [i]anyone[/i] could think this was a good idea. [color=YellowGreen]"This is—this is madness. Actually madness. Why do you think we're all here? We stepped wrong. Anyone who rails against the Inquisitors, who knows what they can do, who's seen what things are really like—they destroy people, they beat them, they [i]kill[/i] them. Everyone up there who isn't on top lives in fear. Don't you want to be [i]better?"[/i][/color]
