[One teenage girl with long brown hair draped down the sides of her face is staring at her new phone incredulously. Her tone one of disbelief and sarcasm.]

"Don't worry, we're the [Insert air quotes here] 'good guys'"? Seriously? Talk about mega government conspiracies. I'm not buying any of that bullshit.

[There's a pause as she reaches for something off camera]

First thing's first, if anyone has a lighter I can borrow, I want to burn the shit out of this file. [she waves the back of her personnel file in front of the camera briefly] I don't know how they got my information but I'm not about to share it. And if someone can lend me enough cash for a flight to Los Angeles, it'll be great.

[she turns away from the phone, seemingly about to end her message before turning back]

Oh, right. If you're my roommate, I only have one rule: Don't touch my stuff.

My, that's not very heroic behavior.

Oh? I believe the government here may have something to say about it.

I would be more careful what views you publicize.

They do have a formula for that kind of attitude; I'd keep an eye on your arm.

[ he's dramatizing, just because he can ]

Does working for them coincide with your travel plans?

[ He smirks at that, pleased with even a small success in harboring paranoia. ]

While that is a very ambitious endeavor, which will truly impress our keepers, I do think they're quite strict on where we keep ourselves.

Is Los Angeles important to you?

Then I regret that I must tell you some harsh news.

[ That's a lie: there is no regret; he'll enjoy it completely. ]

Whatever it was -- whoever it was -- that made that place valuable are no longer there.

[personal profile] toolongdidntrejoice 2014-02-26 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Because that is the law of this place.

This is not the world you came from. The 'heroes' you will meet all come from somewhere else -- some may have shared your history, but it is rare.

You are very far from home, and it is pointless to chase after it.

You can ask any of the others, and you'll hear the same. It will be easier for you if you accept this, rather than bask in your denial.

And I must decline your request. I wouldn't want them to discipline me for aiding an AWOL imPort.

[ he doesn't know if they actually would, but he likes to nurture paranoia where possible. ]

[personal profile] toolongdidntrejoice 2014-02-26 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
That would be the expected procedure, but I can't say I've seen it done successfully.

I am sure it's worth a try. Go ahead; I wish you luck.

[ with the kindest of smiles. ]

[ he lives to serve ]

Ah, one more thing:

You should consider an alias. If you are going to Los Angeles to do a Hero's job, you'd best to do it right, don't you agree?

Something to think about.

[personal profile] toolongdidntrejoice 2014-02-26 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. [ it's a small, soft sound, but definitely noticeable ]

Safe travels.
