Video: 003
[ Marco's video opens on him sitting in a computer chair, which isn't unusual. What is unusual is that he's not wearing anything ridiculous (no Spiderman T-shirt here) and that he actually has a serious look on his face. ]
So since apparently we're doing this the absurdly complicated way:
If you're under 18 and want to work on this whole 'not letting the multiverse destabilize while we're living here' thing, let's coordinate.
Oh, and for all the adults who want to complain about this: I'd much rather work under the leadership of more experienced people. I think leaving us to do our own thing is stupid. But, I also know that there's a zero percent chance we're all going to stay out of it and coordinating minimizes the risk of something going wrong. Consider it harm reduction.
Or, you know, living in the real world.

she doesn't even drink And Yet
[And she can't ask him to compromise that, not in the middle of a lion's den.
Hyena's den?]
Why get involved in the first place?
Marco does that, ask Eva
Multiple reasons. Money is one. Another is that I don't necessarily trust the government and want some resources outside of it and well... he's the only one both stupid enough and well-connected enough to work with a random teenaged shapeshifter.
Most people have problems with at least one of those things.
she would if she could, GIVE HER SOME TIPS EVA
Can't argue with those points. I'm Unsettled, too, but I liked the job I was assigned.
...Couldn't you morph into an adult body for that kind of thing? Someone who isn't here?
Emotional Manipulation and Weed? Wait, that's right, she also drives people to drink. Sorry Babs
Actually, I'm Registered. It's not my fault if they think that means I'm actually loyal. If they've read my file and still think that, then hey, that tells me the government is full of idiots and I don't want to rely on them anyway.
I could, but I'd be limited to 2 hours at a time and, more importantly, I have to pass through myself before I morph something else. I'm not giving up any defensive or offensive advantage when I'm dealing with criminals.
i mean so does everyone else she dates
[She's considered it, but she doesn't want to rely on them anymore than strictly necessary.]
That's a hard-coded limit, then? Any idea why?
Re: i mean so does everyone else she dates
I believe in a healthy dose of paranoia.
I don't know. It's an alien technology and I don't know how it works. Some people are talented enough they can partially subvert it, but I'm not very good at morphing.

Yeah, he does. He was smart enough to ask, so I told him. Also because giving him a weakness made him less likely to flip out about me being able to morph him anytime for the rest of my life here.no subject
So...exactly how much of his mind is there, when you're him?
no subject
I'm telling the truth until I need to lie. If you lie right off the bat, people assume everything you say is a lie. Effective lying means people have to not expect it.[ That's not a concerning worldview. Not at all. ]
All the basic instincts, but none of the memories. So I know exactly how batshit insane he is. Definitely the hardest human mind I've worked with, but easier then some animals, so it's fine. Why? You want to know something in particular?no subject
[It is, but it's not exactly one she can criticise.]
Well, I wouldn't mind "hey, I figured out the Joker has a debilitating phobia of pigeons".
But mostly I was worried about its effect on you, yeah. If you ever need someone to - ground you, or smack you, then you can call.
...Is Harley in on this thing?
no subject
Yeah, you always have to balance out effort versus result.
If he was born with a phobia, I'd know of it, but not if he acquired one as an adult, and he doesn't seem to have any inborn phobias. Sorry.
Thanks. I appreciate the offer, but he's actually not that hard to get under control. Humans are pretty easy to control mentally.
No, she's not. Which isn't my choice.
