FIRST ISSUE; video - possible action for roommates

[ Those lurking the comm the afternoon of March 9th will spot Jolly Jonah himself staring near aimlessly into the camera. The man is sitting on a brown recliner, and he's tired. It not hard to tell, especially given the pile of paper that can be seen just out of the frame and the fact that there are at least 8 stogies in the ash tray next to him. He's got a new one in his mouth right now, actually!

But still, for as tired as he looks, you'd never guess that by the way he speaks. While most new imPorts have a reputation for being rather displeased with being so rudely yanked from their homes, JJ's overall demeanor is...surprisingly pleasing. So much so, that he begins speaking at a mile a minute as soon as the video turns on. ]


Well, it's about damn time somebody recognized my heroics! Looks like whoever's doing the import thing is finally makin' some steps in the right direction, eh? I mean, just reading about some of the weirdos you've brought in before me? Glad to see you're starting to pick out some upstanding citizens like myself!

[ He taps his cigar against the ashtray next to him, getting rid of the excess ash. Some gets on the arm of the chair, but J.J. doesn't flinch at that. ]

In fact, I recommend that whoever is running this damn thing pick out my son next! John Jameson, real American hero, that one! Don't bring in my wife, though. Lord knows that I could barely stand her back in New York, can't deal with all the friggin' nagging she'd do down here.

[ Suddenly, his entire demeanor changes. He now speaks to the camera head-on, dissuading any need for tangents. He's large and in charge and everybody has to know. ]

You can call me J. Jonah Jameson! Why am I telling you this, you might ask? Well, maybe if you stopped askin' so many damn questions in the first place and let someone with intelligence speak, I could tell you! Anyway, point is, that is a name you ingrates are gonna be hearing a lot from now on. See, back where I come from, I was a pretty big deal! Nobody wanted to mess with the likes of me!

So, for all of the so-called "vigilantes" out there? There's a new hero in town and the only superpower he needs is the power of the press!

[Oh great.]

Ever the consummate professional, Mr. Jameson. [Spoken with juuuust enough sarcasm that most people should be able to pick it up, but he's hopinh Jameson won't be one of them.]

[Normie's feeling a little cocky, so he ups his sarcasm tone a smidge.]

Of course not. I have the utmost confidence that you'll bring the same... ethical brand of journalism that you're known for to this dimension.

[Even if you are obviously from another dimension, as you are way younger than the version he knows, you appear to have the same ego, Jonah.]

One I'm sure you're already Star Reporter on.

What's your first piece going to be about?
notyourfathersosborn: (Call me Norman)

Forgive me, I just thought the great J Jonah Jameson always had a story in mind.

[He might not be of the legal age to enjoy wine, but the idea of drinking anything that's been "festering" sounds less than appetizing. Still, it sounds about right from what he's seen from Jolly Jonah.]

But of course. I'm sure once your idea is done... festering... you'll take this entire place by storm.

And how do you intend to separate yourself from the other ImPorts, or vigilantes as you called them, out of curiosity? From what I can gather, all ImPorts gain powers here, so wouldn't that make you a threat as well?

[A beat.]

Potentially, of course. In the eyes of your readers.

[Oh Jonah he's so disappointed in you!]

Maybe back home, but I'm sure you received the literal memo: all ImPorts who don't have powers at home receive powers upon arriving.

Now I want you to understand that I believe you--

[He doesn't for a second.]

--but... how do you expect your readers to? Like I said, they believe all ImPorts have abilities.
notyourfathersosborn: (Please don't do something stupid)

[Wouldn't it be better to claim a useless power rather than try this obvious lie?]

I'm just worried that might damage your reputation right off the gate. Heaven forbid the multiverse's greatest newspaperman lose his clout over something minor like this.

[His sarcasm is as thick as he dares.]
