[UPDATE] The Scarlett Kite - Jan 31
Hello?

I think this is recording. I can see the words coming up on the display - it should be OK and I.... They've put bandages on my hands. Nothing hurts but I feel so sleepy. I'm, I'm fading in and out. Everything seems very distant, like a dream, or something someone told me once. Kurt came to see me today, I think. Unless it was a dream, but it doesn't seem... He told me all about the different drugs they're giving me, and what the effects are. Kurt knows so many things. He'd found me some literature about tissue regeneration treatments and said I shouldn't worry about my hands because at least 90% of the damage is repairable. They don't hurt. Nothing hurts at all, and my head is very quiet and peaceful. I think it's the drugs. I'm trying to remember what I....

[No vocal signal detected.]

No, no please, no, I don't, I don't!

[No vocal signal detected.]

Sorry, I fell asleep. I keep doing that. I think of things and then I lose them again. The doctor said not to fight against it, just allow myself to heal. Sometimes moments come back suddenly, vividly. Just now I thought I was back there... in that.... It's so funny that I was in The Point. I love The Point. It didn't seem like... I thought I was far away, in Anjsbourg again maybe. I...

[words indistinct, please repeat]

Sorry, I. I don't know what I told them. They put needles in my arm and I... there's no way I could warn the Castilles. I don't know.

[words indistinct, please repeat.]

It doesn't like it when I cry. It thinks I'm making indistinct words. Funny. Everything seems funny right now. I don't want to make the little machine unhappy, but it's so unhappy. Maybe it's me who's unhappy, but I can't find it in my head. Violet came to see me, after Kurt. She told me about Caine, but it seemed to me like the very last thing in the world to think about. Violet was angry like snow around her hills and valleys and I told her so, but I don't think she understood. She looked at my bandaged hands and cried, and I told her not to cry. I can't remember the last time I saw her cry. I wished my dad was here, to give her icecream like he used to when we were little but he's not. I have to sleep now.

Ah, poor girl, only 90% of her hands? If it's her thumb they might as well nick the thing off

Well, that makes two of us. I'm in Denver, which apparently has stolen Buffalo's winter (read: it's snowing here again), and even I don't know what "angry like snow around her hills and valleys" means. Is it different than just plain-old angry?

She is posting with voice recognition software, so it's possible that it just translated something completely wrong.

Then again, maybe in Perplex City, one symbol for angry is a little blizzard floating over someone's head - like we on Earth occasionally see a rain cloud over someone who is sad.

It's also possible she's not exactly coherent, what with all the meds they're giving her, and after all the 3P put her through.

You'd think that if Scarlett were CT, she'd have broken down and admitted it by now.

Maybe she has.... maybe the 3P are going after the cube right now... all the more reason to find it quickly!! I reckon it will be found tomorrow anyway.... it looks like we have almost got everything wrapped up.

wait, 90%???! UH, that's like 1 whole missing finger. she's so doped up, she does not feel pain. I hope they only broke fingers, not cut them off, or up, or whatever. I know they were bloody, 3P loves to hurt people, I just Imagine the 3P asking her where the cube is, breaking a finger, and repeating.

Or the tips of all ten. Part of me thinks that would be worse.

I have a friend who severely burned her hands in a kitchen fire, so my first thought was of burns. Tissue regeneration would fit in with this, too. My friend has scars on her hands, but has regained the use of them. She does have arthritis in them, though.

Fingernail removal can be a very effective form of torture.

My initial thought was it was probably more of a skin-melting icky burns type thing (maybe chemical or radiation - perhaps from trying to fiddle with something to try to bring the cube back) that had happened to the poor mite, rather than lopping off partial or whole digits. But maybe I'm just warped Confused

I imagine that the 90% is related to the feeling in her fingers. Depending on the damage to the pads, some scaring may be inevitable and would decrease the sensitivity of her fingertips.
Seven years ago, I cut a small part along the side of my index finger. It didn't go all the way through, and a few stitches closed it, but that area where the nerves were severed still feels different from the rest of my fingers.

Anyway enough medical talk... I hope she's feeling better soon, from the sound of things Perplex City has a damned good medical system.
