Who: Meg Masters & YOU unfortunate people
Broadcast: video
Action: Marsiva
When: now

[you're greeted with the expression of a young woman, thoroughly impressed and lounging on the bed she woke up on. She's already taken a cursory glance at the network after the confusion died down into something more like annoyance, and well - a bored and annoyed Meg is never a good thing.

She scowls for a moment, until she realizes the camera's on. Then she smirks and leans back, legs coming into view as she crosses them, getting comfortable]

So, two requests. [she holds up a finger] The quickest and dirtiest explanation you can give me. I'll be counting words and keeping track, and I may even give the winner a special surprise.

Two, [she holds up two fingers now] I'm looking for some good gossip. I'm behind on my tabloids and a girl has needs, you know? And sharing is caring, after all.

Don't keep me waiting too long, yeah?

Comments

[experiencepoints]

Worth a shot.

Anyway, if you have any questions, now's the time to ask.

[angelherding]

What's a Takshaka?

Oh, I have a ton of questions. Why is this place so clean, that one's really bugging me right now.

[experiencepoints]

A very long story.

Cleaning robots, I think?

[angelherding]

I like stories.

[a considering pause] Well, that's a new one.

[experiencepoints]

My team.

Yeah, they're around, you'll see them before long.

[angelherding]

Softball, basketball, field hockey . . . ? [throw her a bone, here]

I'm looking forward to it. We were talking Roombas, here, or are they less dumb?

[experiencepoints]

Yeah, that story isn't happening unless you're going to buy me a drink for it.

... I have no idea what a 'Roomba' is.

[angelherding]

A story for a drink? Sounds fair enough.

Tiny little robot vacuums. They look like frisbees slowly moving across your floor.

[experiencepoints]

And that will have to wait until you're off the Marsiva.

Oh. Kind of, yeah? Sounds about right.

[angelherding]

How long will that take? I don't handle waiting well.

[as we've seen already]

I'll keep an eye out. [so she can kick it. Probably]

[experiencepoints]

... Days, probably?

[angelherding]

[definitely kicking roombas]

Great.

[experiencepoints]

Oh, don't whine, you get the good food over there.

[angelherding]

Good food I don't eat, you mean. I could, but I don't need to.

[experiencepoints]

... Okay, sure, I'll bite. Why don't you eat?

[angelherding]

[hmmm]

Liquid diet. Very important, can't go off it, etc, etc.

[so convincing]

[experiencepoints]

[Pauses, and then:]

Are you another vampire.

[angelherding]

Wow, I don't know if I should be offended or surprised there's vampires here.

[experiencepoints]

They're around, and it's a reasonable assumption after a line like that.

[angelherding]

Generally people don't come to that assumption, in my experience. Not unless they're a hunter or check "other" in the employment column.

[experiencepoints]

I used to regularly feed one, and I keep finding more around, so.

[angelherding]

You fed one? A vampire.

[she sounds just a bit disbelieving. She can't help but lean forward a little to squint] And you're still alive?

[experiencepoints]

Every couple days for a few months, yes. And my 'alive' status is a little bit complicated, but for what you're referring to, yes I am.

[angelherding]

Huh. And you did it willingly.

I don't pay much attention to the bloodsuckers, we run in different crowds.

[experiencepoints]

Yeah? She needed to eat, and I trust her. Anyone else, I would have probably set on fire.

So, then, what's your deal?
