driftfleet | [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

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?

I have more friends than I want.

[This is very true. She never asked for the new 'family', but she's okay with it too.

Most of the time.]

There's no such thing as too many friends.

Maybe if you like people.

I don't know why you wouldn't. People are awesome.

Not when they can turn your family into dragons that you have to kill. People, humans specifically, are awful and I hate them.

...

...

Oh. You're one of that gang. Okay, suddenly the invisible thing makes sense.

[ She cocks her head to the side and stares at him for a few long moments before she responds. ]

What? You thought I was doing it on purpose? Trust me, I've got better things to do than to play pranks on people by being invisible.

[Like save the world. The pranks are just a side-bonus.]

I don't know, I've met some really weird people in this place. Someone being invisible for the fun of it isn't that big a stretch.

You need to meet better people. Of course, I guess if you have a lot of time on your hands, you have to fill it somehow.

[Not that she knows anything about that. Nope.]

Excuse you, I know great people. The best people.

Right. Until you can prove that, I'm going to call shenanigans on you right now and tell you to shut up.

Well, you can meet my crew, they'll prove what awesome people they are so I can rescind your shut up.

Considering I'm trapped on this big metal heap of junk, I'm afraid that won't happen. So, your order of shut up still stands.

You won't be trapped forever, jeez.

Who knows. There's a first time for everything.

[And with her brother's luck at play they'll all be lucky if the Fleet doesn't just randomly explode...]

I'm telling you, once the weekend comes, you'll be on another ship and you get to be creepy and weird with a whole bunch of people.

Why wait? I can do that now with you.

[She's actually enjoying herself. Don't stop.]
