[ Video switches on to show a man with a ginger ponytail in a hideous green v-neck frowning deeply and looking incredibly disappointed and/or frustrated, sitting on a park bench as dusk settles in.]

Okay, I've been here for less than a day, so would someone mind explaining to me how it is that the United States government can allocate all these funds to keep us imPorts in nicely furnished, comfortable homes in several cities, and expect native businesses and companies to provide us with paid employment, yet its own citizens are still facing what seem like absurd rates of homelessness? Like I said, I only just arrived, but it didn't take me long to find people who have lost their jobs and homes to make way for the growing imPort population.

[ Someone spent his whole first day in Heropa in a park, befriending homeless people. Continuing on, he sighs heavily, as though this is personally wronging and inconveniencing him, not people he doesn't even know. ]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we're to blame for this. After all, it's not as though it's our fault some unstable technology yanked us from our worlds and lives. Of course this world's government would have to provide for us until we can return home. But every single one of us has the responsibility to give back.

So, what are you doing to help? I'll be taking donations to start up a charity for natives displaced by our presence, if you can't come up with anything on your own.

Wouldn't that be delightful?

Ah, but if one starts to think they know better than the mortals, don't they run the danger of acting like it too?

You could, but you won't.

And which name do you prefer?

If it makes you feel better, I think it's just to start with. Can't buy food before you get a paycheck, right?

It depends on where you are from, I suppose. I can't complain about Heropa's police force so far.
slightlyoffchilt: (Meretricious.)

Do you not find such wordplay notable?

[He siiiiighs.]

I feel like it wasn't this bad back home.

I don't want to face the disappointment again. But there's no saying that you couldn't run. I would support you.

Oh, um - it's Marceline. Abadeer.

Soooo do you or do you not wanna pick my brain? I'm getting mixed signals here.

I have been accused of being too forward before.

I'm not saying that's what I do -- I don't feel guilt in the first place, so I'm spared those kinds of moral dilemmas.
rathercommon: (ummm whatever though)

[personal profile] rathercommon 2016-06-21 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
And no need to do anything. Because taking action is hard.

Really? But you have such strong opinions and I have no doubt you would see things change for the better.
slightlyoffchilt: (Bias.)

Tacky is subjective. [I mean, look at what Chilton wears!] Besides, don't you consider it a good way to commune?
