Three of Diamonds - Video

[everylittlething]

[The scene: the interior of the living room of one of the housing units. A few lamps have been brought over to provide better lighting. A teenage girl with brown hair fiddles with her communicator, pursing her lips this way and that as she adjusts the video. Once she's satisfied, she smiles, steps back and replaces a bright blue top hat on her head.

Now she's all razzle-dazzle.]

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! It's so wonderful to be here tonight! My name is Trucy Wright, professional magician, and it's my pleasure to officially introduce myself and my services!

Though you may think my promises are empty... [Her hat comes off again and she shows off the interior. Empty, of course.] I guarantee you won't be disappointed once you experience the joy and wonder of an authentic Trucy Wright performance!

[Reaching into her hat, she pulls out a long string of colorful flags, and a banner of letters which reads "Ta Dah!" There is also a burst of glittery confetti as she holds out the flags as to be readable.]

I'm a princess of parties! A baroness of birthdays! A queen of corporate events! A wizard of weddings! And tons of fun at funerals! Furthermore, my rates are very reasonable!

And if a magician isn't what you need, I also represent the east coast branch of the Wright Anything Agency. Legal consultation! Defense! Paperwork! You will say WOW.

[With a grin, Trucy takes a bow.]

So remember, if you need magic, and you need it spectacular, you need Trucy Wright!

[... then reaches into her hat and starts to pull out a broom.]

I'll be available for consultation as soon as I sweep up all the confetti.

[That gets a chuckle out of him, giving a little bow over the feed.]

I'd be honoured, actually. If you can help me pick out something nice to wear for it.

[Military garb probably isn't Magician status quo.]

[everylittlething]

Sure! I'm pretty good at fashion, if I do say so myself.

How would you like to shoot me?

[pacifistaggressive]

I would lo-





What.

[everylittlething]

Hahaha. It's one of my tricks. I can catch bullets in my teeth.

[Yes, Daddy lets her do this.]

Don't worry, it's a trick pistol. I can't really get shot with it.

[pacifistaggressive]

[That hand immediately goes to his chest. Looks like someone's getting a drive by version of cardiac arrest!]

Oh. Oh it's an illusion, then?

[Oh Trucy.]

And for a moment I thought you had a bout of insanity!

[everylittlething]

Yes, silly. Of course I wouldn't really ask you to shoot me!

Unless it was out of a cannon or something. But I'm a magician, not a daredevil, so that wasn't an official request, okay?

[pacifistaggressive]

I think your approach could use some work, to be honest. Who would want to aim at someone like you?

[Starscream, probably.]

And believe me, there are much better ways of achieving flight than being launched out of a cannon, anyway.

[everylittlething]

Awww, what a cute thing to say.

[She knows exactly how this works, too.

Until that "achieving flight" thing comes up.]

Aaah! Oh! Can I borrow one?

Wow apologies this is so late!

[pacifistaggressive]

[There's a laugh at her enthusiasm. It's hard not to join in with it.]

Tell you what, once I figure out my power to change back into my original form, I'll show you what it really means to achieve flight.

[Is it kosher to invite preteens on jet rides? Hopefully.]
