Who: Anya Corazon and yoooou
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Windrose
When: 5/10

[ While the Windrose folks will recognize her, Anya's been spending time going back through the archives to get an idea of what's been going on and what these people are like instead of actually talking to them just yet, so she is decidedly not a familiar face.

When she speaks, she has a definite Hispanic accent - a mix of Mexican and Puerto Rican, for anyone who would be able to tell. ]

Hey, my name's Anya, I'm on the Windrose. I, uh, haven't really said much on the network since I got here. Kind of got distracted catching up on what's been going on. Oops?

[ She smiles and shrugs sheepishly ]

Anyway, it's Mother's Day, right? Or close enough? So I feel like everybody should take a minute to think about your mamá back home. Unless you didn't have a great mom, then I guess think about someone else who was like a mom, yeah? Also do something for nice for any moms you know here, 'cause they're probably missing their kids a lot, being stuck here.

I want to say thank you and I love you to my mom Carol, because she has done so much for me and always believes in me and taught me how to protect myself from assholes with superpowers. [ grin ] Best mom, even if she's a total nerd.

[ And then, on the encrypted Comms officer channel or whatever it is ]

Hey, fellow Communications people, que pasa? We totally have our own secret chat room, basically, how cool is that? Who all is one of us, anyway?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Anya's not tearing up either now. Really. ]

Yeah, well, who else gets to say that their mom is an Avenger? There's like, four of us in the "kids of Avengers" club, okay?

Anyway, you look out for me. That means a lot.

[ big dramatic sigh ] Even if you did forget me for like a year and a half....

Oh my god, you little brat, are you ever going to let that go?

[ You're too far away to smack upside the head right now, but the look she is giving the camera suggests she would like to. ]

You wanna get dinner or something? Pretty sure the stations around here are all overpriced, but I don't need to afford clothes, so...

I heard about the tumor from Wendy.

[ aka no, no she is not. Mostly because she's happy you remember her so that she CAN be a little shit about it. ]

Ugh, do not even talk to me about clothes, my only options currently are "spandex" or "ugly grey baggy jumpsuit", and I hate you a little.

It wasn't technically a tumor, and we're not arguing about that now.

[ She snorts softly. You poor child. ]

You want me to give you an allowance for clothes or something? It's the least I can do.

Tumor, alien consciousness, lesion, whatever. The thing in your brain that almost killed you.

[ She does smile hopefully at the offer of a clothes allowance, though ]

Or just a small shopping trip? I'll buy you Mother's Day dinner!

[ Carol laughs a little at Anya's hopeful look. Honestly, child, you think she's going to leave you to those sad jumpsuits? ]

That sounds like a fair trade. [ Her expression turns solemn, tone serious. ] I will save you from the spandex.
