Who: Greedling and You!
Broadcast: All
Action: The Marsiva
When: Now!

[The feed kicks in to show the latest arrival at where else? The viewing bay where rather than the empty expanse of space, there's now the view of an ice world within sight. A single figure is standing there with his hand pressed to the glass. He seems to be in a conversation already, even though he appears to be alone. His voice is deeper than what might be expected from such a young looking face.]

Do you think I care about all that? Just look at it. The entire expanse of the universe just waiting for me, as well as an entirely different planet. I always knew one world wouldn't be enough for me. The whole galaxy? Well, that might just do the trick.

[Ling, the docile observer just now, can't be too alarmed to realize Greed has gone from wanting one world to wanting a galaxy. Still... it's far more ambitious than simply one country. And you're content to let your Father go unpunished for what he's done? That's remarkably selfless of you to simply forgive and forget.]

Can it, you brat. What I do with him can wait. Right now, I just want to see what that little planet down there has to offer.

[thebarkside]

Oh, jeez. Galaxy domination. That's pretty ambitious.

[ her tone is pretty neutral. she's mostly just curious about the fact that he seems to be... talking... to himself? ]

[video]

[avaricious]

Eh? [Greed turns from his spot at the window and only then notices the communicator. He frowns, then stalks towards it and scoops it up. A girl?]

That's not your concern. Who are you?

[video]

[thebarkside]

Well, no, it kinda is. If you're planning on taking over, at least, I mean. I mean, it is a big galaxy, but I do sorta live here and all right now.

[ she flashes him a half-smile. ]

I'm Jade. I guess you're probably new?

[video]

[thebloodseal]

LING?!

[video]

[avaricious]

[Oh... it's that kid with the armor fetish.]

I've already told you before: it's Greed.

[video]

[thebloodseal]

Yeah, I should have guessed. How long have you been here? [He held back the urge to ask if Ed had come along, too, knowing Greed really couldn't care either way where Ed was.]

[video : private]

[honorbends]

Is he dangerous?

[ zuko met a version of greed in adstringendum but he looked nothing like this guy. and zuko just ignored him like 97% of hte time. ]

[video : private]

[thebloodseal]

He can be- he's an excellent combatant and has a strong defense, too. But he dislikes getting into combat if he can help it- he'd rather have admirers and pawns than enemies.

[ lady sansa isn't an ambitious person -- but she knows ambition's sound and scent. it tickles the back of her neck and brings on a cold sweat. thrill and fear intermingle, and she a quiet voice chastises her in the recesses of her thoughts. some primordial hunch on how petyr might chide her for not thinking so boldly as this young man does.

tentatively: ] -- Beg pardon, but is someone else there?

[ maybe the young man has already gone quite mad. but she feels a pang of sympathy. alone, on the marsiva, she'd started talking to herself as well. ]

[avaricious]

[Another voice... well, this device is pretty tedious. He doesn't care for people to know he has a secret partner that he's sharing this body with, but he's not the type to lie either. Especially not to women.]

In a manner of speaking. But there's no need for you to worry about that, right now. How about instead I introduce myself. My name is Greed. It's a pleasure.

video.

[steeledskin]

[ her gaze narrows. evidently, she doesn't believe him -- what sort of stupid name is 'greed', after all? sansa decides that only peasants or children could be so blunt in their naming practices. ]

Well met, Greed. [ she indulges it. ] I am Sansa. [ ugh, here's the hard part. ] Of House Stark.

[honorbends]

[ ... ]

Are you serious?

[ WHAT IS WITH THE WEIRDO POWER HUNGRY PEOPLE SHOWING UP LATELY ]

[Video]

[avaricious]

Did I seem to be joking to you? If so, that was my mistake. I'm dead serious.

[Video]

[honorbends]

[ good lord ]

You've been here for -- what, under an hour? And you're already planning on taking over the universe?

That has to be a joke.

[ino]

Oh, boy. You're going to be really popular with your shipmates, I can tell already.

video;

[avaricious]

And who might those shipmates be? [After all, he should get to know his new possessions shipmates.]

video;

[ino]

[ She shrugs ]

Don't know. You won't know either until you get booted off the Marsiva in a couple of days.

But I'm sure whoever they are will definitely enjoy rooming with the type of person who starts off their stay here with a evil mustache-twirling take over the world -- or worlds, I guess? -- kind of speech.

[resnipstance]

[A cocky teenage alien girl appears on the other side of the screen.]

Sorry to disappoint, but if you want to take over the galaxy, you'll have to go through me first.

video

[avaricious]

Is that right? Frankly I'd rather see you on the winning side. Besides, you don't even know me. I might just be what this galaxy needs.

[resnipstance]

I've seen enough to know that no galaxy should be put under a system with only one ruler, no matter how good they are.

[ video ]

[touchofrogue]

[Oh, hello, she knows your face. Not that... attitude, but your face, sure.

So, testing waters with a drawled:]

Oh sure, that's what I like in a newcomer. Wake up, kidnapped, stamped, an' coded and consider it a good startin' point ta take over the unknown universe. Gotta love that go get'em attitude.

[ video ]

[avaricious]

I appreciate the candid sarcasm. Would it make a better impression if I was panicking instead?

[ video ]

[touchofrogue]

[Oh, slight twinge of guilt, there you are.

...Rogue ignores it.]

Ya really care 'bout your impression?

[huaaaaagh]

[So is this an actual supervillain, or just a guy with a big ego? HE MUST KNOW.]

What would you do with the galaxy once you took it over, anyway? Seems like a lot of work.

[avaricious]

I'd do what any great ruler would.... delegate. You wouldn't happen to be interested in ruling a few planets on my behalf, would you?

[He's just assuming there's a lot of them out there. He hasn't actually studied astronomy or anything.]
