Apex Shadow - Episode #01 - A Fear of Flying (Dark Super Hero Audio Drama)
trinjam for Detective Kate Kavanaugh
Kate's a complex character. She's definitely got a lot of anger, and she's not afraid to show it. In her mind, the entire concept of law and order is breaking down around her, because people who can fly and shoot energy beams are able to do pretty much whatever they want, without consequence. She wants things to be structured, to make sense-- and now, that's all slipping away. Add to that, she's trying to do her job-- in her mind, catching bad guys and helping those in need-- and fewer and fewer of her colleagues seem to be taking that idea seriously anymore. This is a woman who feels alone, betrayed, and furious-- because she sees herself as the last sane person in the room. And she covers up for it by forgoing almost all of her filter. But at heart, she's a good person who cares about others, and wants to see justice done.

[To herself, investigating a crime scene]
You could've cleaned this shit up. You plan everything. You'd have to. This isn't gonna lead anywhere, is it? But you wanted us to find it...[Consulting with the medical examiner over a dead super hero]
Thought our boy here was supposed to be considerably faster than a speeding bullet, or... whatever the hell it was they said on all the cereal boxes and the t-shirts.

(Mounting frustration)
Why don't you have an issue with them? Why don't they piss you off beyond all conceivable fucking measure? Ever since I came here, I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't lost my fucking mind. Sir.
I really enjoyed your performance! Thank you, and good luck!
