[Video] Complaint #1

Who: Edna and You
Broadcast: Oh yes
Action: on the Marsiva
When: today

[Video]

[Being warm and comfortable is nice for half a second, but Edna has never needed to sleep in her life. Sure, resting is great and all, especially after a long and hard fight, but still not necessary. And waking up has never been difficult for her. Until now.

She rolls over and stretches, a booted foot sticking out of the blankets as her gloved hand covers a yawn that would put a man five times her size to shame. One blue eye cracks open before the other and she slowly rotates her head over.

And sees a black sky sprinkled with stars. Too many stars. That's when she sits up and looks around, frowning as she sees the sterile metal....things everywhere.]

Where's my mountain?

[Her hands pat around her, looking for her umbrella, and come up empty. Her voice and face definitely let anyone who can see her over the comm know that she is Not Happy. Sadly all that comes through is her voice, and the movements she makes on the bed. So, beware of ghosts.]

Alright, Meebo, you can give my umbrella back. You have five seconds.

[Action]

[For those with high spiritual resonance, they will see a tiny girl who is stomping around the Marsiva, looking as if she can murder anything or one who gets in her way. Her footsteps are much heavier than someone of her size should be able to generate, but that's not stopping her.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

There's no mountains in space...disembodies voice.

...Well, maybe on planets but not in space-space. Which is where you are.

[Like a bloodhound sniffing out prey, Edna knows a scaredy cat when she sees it. It's the look on his face. Totally gives him away.]

There might not be any mountains on these ships, but now you have a ghost.

I'm a spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace ghost~!

[Though not a true scaredy cat, Sokka, sure doesn't like spooky ghosty nonsense.]

A...space ghost. Complete with spooky ooooooh noises?

[And Edna only enjoys a few moments of silliness from time to time. Everyone deserves some amusement over the years.]

~Woooooooooooooo!~

That enough for you?

I don't know. Maybe you should add a little more wobble to the oooooo's?

[He's peering closer to the camera now, tilting his head this way and that, as if that will somehow help him see her. ]

Seriously, where are you?

Sorry, I'm all wobbled out. Guess I'll have to work on that later.

[Does he realize how dumb he looks? Because she really hopes there's a way he can look at this later. like with the Earthen Historia. Because, dear god, his face is just ridiculous.]

Supposedly this stupid metal hell is called the Marsiva. And I'm in a room on it. But if you want to know why you can't see me, it's because this little plastic and metal thing doesn't have enough resonance to pick up my adorable and charming features.

You...wobbled out. On the Marsiva.

[He probably looks like such an idiot. ]

I...have no idea what that means. Is your communicator broken?

Look. I don't perform on command. You want a convincing scary ghost, then go look for one.

[Yes, yes he does.]

How am I supposed to know? I've never seen one of these stupid things before. You can't see me because you're a dumb Earth Dweller without any sort of spiritual resonance. You're not special.

Heck no. I'll stay here in my nice little corner of sanity, thanks.

[Wow ruuude. ]

I'm not from Earth. But uh, if you're talking about spiritual stuff, then no. No I absolutely cannot do that.

And wow that last part was harsh, invisible person.

Scared?

[It's such a gift to deal with this kid after all the stress of her family and their friends. Teasing someone is safe, normal and good. She can do that.]

Not the planet. Ground is Earth. You live on the ground don't you?

I'm not afraid of invisible people.

[He says, clearly perturbed by the invisible person. ]

Technically, I grew up on the ice. But yeah. You're saying to don't live on the ground?

Then you're a stupid as you look.

[And, honestly, she's scary even when she can be seen. She's the mean one, despite Dezel's gruff exterior and Eizen's flat eyes.]

I'm saying that people who are stuck on the ground, who live their whole lives scrounging around not thinking about anything but their own selfish wants and desires are not worth my time. Duh.

Wow. You're rude. Just- wow.

[There's a long pause.]

So...you mean actual regular people?

I'm not here to sugar coat things. If you want that, you need to find someone who cares.

[She's not here because she likes it, you know.]

If you have to ask, maybe you should consider the question.

I wouldn't call a straight up insult 'sugar coating' anything.

I'm asking a question because none of it makes sense.

Insults are the best way to toughen you up. If you can't take someone telling you the truth, then I suggest you go back to the nursery with the other babies.

And what doesn't make sense? I'm not sure that I understand why you're so confused. [Unless you're counting the one too many hits to the head she's sure he's taken.]

Oh my god, you're just like Toph. What did I do to deserve this?

[He doesn't want this in his liiiife. ]

About people living on Earth but not the planet I mean, what is that even about?

I don't know who this Toph is and I don't really care.

[It's gotta be an Earth correlation. Only, she's not blind. That's Dezel's shtick.]

Okay, fine, because I don't want a huge headache, I'll explain it in small words. Earth is another word for dirt, ground. Humans reside on the ground, therefore they're Earth Dwellers. Duh.

Yup. She'd love you. Or hate you. Possibly both.

Ohhhh. Okay that-

What if I told you I was born on the ice and snow?

[Take THAT Miss Invisible Smarty Pants! ]

Still don't care.

[Let's be honest, Toph and Edna? The world would end. One blind, the other unaging, the terror firma duet would ruin the fleet. In an hour.]

I would say that doesn't make you any more special. You're human. Therefore, you're an Earth Dweller.

Wow, you're just a bundle of sunshine.

[Maybe even 30 minutes. ]

Again, with the rudeness. Humans can be special too, you know. Eighty per cent of the awesome people I know are human, or at least mostly human.

Nice is overrated a lot of the time.

[Good is way more important and Edna knows the difference.]

Humans where you're from might be "special" but it's probably only because they have no clue what the rest of the world is really like.

But still doesn't hurt when you're meeting someone new, jeez.

Do you mean your world, or the universe in general, because you do know other worlds are different to your own, right? And you can't just assume what people know about their own worlds.

Yes, I have figured out that there are more worlds than my own. This whole space place seems to revolve around that whole concept.

Some of us use our brains for more than just keeping our heads from caving in.

So far, however, I have yet to see anything that would change my mind about humans in general.

[Come back to her in two millennia after watching people and see how you feel about them.]

...I bet you got a gold star in making friends, didn't you?
