Second Blood

[Today you have something different: Rather than a face peering into the camera, you have a full body view of a young woman standing to the left of the shot, with her right hand on her hip. Said hand glows bright white, like the rest of her body. If you haven't seen her before, she's probably a pretty surprising sort of freak to see when you turn on the communicator.

The center and right part of the shot are occupied by the wall, to which she's attached an off-white poster, landscape orientation, with the following written on it in large letters of bright green marker.


* As Your Potential Leader A Complete Stranger In All Senses
* Proposal To Further Factionalize Already Fractured Population
* Plans Will Only Be Revealed When Or Rather If Any Group Is Gathered
* Initiative Is Our First Enemy Rather Than The United Earth
* Conflict With Other Armies Also A Welcome Possibility


It's attached to the wall with a piece of clear tape on each corners and one in the middle of each long side as well. Close examination will note that it appears there is a second identically-sized piece of paper hidden under it.]

Hello, Transports. I'm Kanaya Maryam. Apart from those who saw my arbitrary self-introduction, you probably don't recognize me as anything but an alien interloper of an age you judge as inappropriate. Even though you have absolutely no reason to trust me, I'm going to ask you to do exactly that, because Exsilium has a terrible leadership problem.

[She's pointing to the second bullet now.] Lots of Transports have been trying to create an army out of members of Exsilium's already perfectly fine existing army. This hasn't worked up until now, but I am somehow absolutely certain that when I do this it's going to be totally different.

[Third bullet:] My plans are so fantastic that they have to be kept confidential and will only be revealed to members of the army once it forms - whom, by the way, I will accept and reject at my discretion even though my goal is to unite Exsilium.

Oh, and did I mention - [fourth bullet] - that I want to overthrow the Initiative first, even though we're fighting the United Earth. Because that's my intention, to fight the people who brought us together and control whether we even stay or leave, let alone go back in time.

And by the way, all the other armies that have already been forming - they're getting in the way of my plan, so we're also going to fight you if you go against us.

[Both her hands return to her hips as she stares at with her head cocked and her lips stretched thin.] Tell me, Exsilium, do you think that sounds like a good plan for anyone to execute? Especially if she's an alien, an undead, a "teenager" [finger quotes], or the like? Or would you advise me to stick with the perfectly good hundreds-strong army that we already have, and take it up with the administrators of the Initiative if I really insisted upon doing something. Perhaps would you go so far as to say that I sound... stupid? If so, that's good, because I have some appalling news for you, which I've just delivered wrapped in your planet's particularly loathsome form of verbal irony.

[In a sudden, too-quick motion, she reaches up with both hands to rip off the poster and reveal the paper underneath it, filled up entirely with these four words:

This Is Stupid
Stop


She neatly folds the old poster three times and throws it away in a waste receptacle off screen, and then stands up straight to address the camera again.]


It does sound stupid, because it is, and so do you. Stop.

[The video ends.]

What, no.

I wasn't talkin' about them, I was tryin' to prowoke Meen into fightin' Kan. A' course Captor goes outta his way to stop me cause he's such a fuckin' killjoy.

...Why were you trying to get them to fight?

It would'we been funny.

They might a killed each other ewen. Once someone dies ewerythin' snowballs an' just gets more interestin' from there, it's how shit works.

But it would hawe been worth it for the fight alone.

[WHAT.]

You can't intentionally try to get people to fight and kill each other! Eridan no!!

[personal profile] caligulas_aquarium 2012-11-13 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Look, relax, people can't die for real here.

They would'we just come back super pissed, that's all.

[Though even if they didn't...]

Besides, you don't like Meen' anyway! What's the big deal.
tipsygnostalgia: (well if you just listened)

[personal profile] tipsygnostalgia 2012-11-13 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
You were the one obsessed with Kanaya wanting to chainsaw you, so now that you have figured out she doesn't want to kill you, you intentionally try to do something that would make her want to kill you.

...Are you actually thinking any of this through, 'cause it sounds super dumb.

[Yeah she dont give a shit about Meenah though]

[personal profile] caligulas_aquarium 2012-11-13 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Look, we still don't know for a fact she wouldn't. My association with Kan' right now is built on a minor pact relatin' to weird time shit coupled with only ONE instance where she coulda but didn't.

I mean you were there right, she totally coulda been holdin' off cause a' that.

But instead of trying to find out or improve on the situation, you want to actually make it a billion times worse.

If she wanted, she could've just sneaked in, killed you and snuck out again! Instead of just helping you and being a friend.

[And just for the record]

Stop trying to get people to kill each other! [She is assuming that Eridan will actually listen to her... haha...]

[SILLY ROXY YOU'RE NOT HIS MOIRAIL]

There's nothin' to improwe on. We weren't ewen friends before whole murder business anyway, she always acted like my company was some sorta stain on her oh so precious time she coulda spent fawnin' ower either wris' or your ancestor for that matter.

I'm pretty conwinced she only ewen made me the wand to make me leawe her alone.
tipsygnostalgia: Icon: <user name=draggy> ([sprite] ur kidding me)

[personal profile] tipsygnostalgia 2012-11-13 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
Then leave her alone. You sound like Meenah, urgh.
caligulas_aquarium: (Default)

[personal profile] caligulas_aquarium 2012-11-13 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
She won't leawe me alone! Did you see the post she ewen made, that was clearly a jab right at me just cause I wouldn't let her shifty glowin' self anywhere near my priwate matters that're none a' her business.

An' I can't just let her pull shit like that without doin' somethin' about it, but apparently I'm in the wrong for takin' perfectly justifiable actions towards people makin' a show outta me in public so okay, fine, whatewer.

[Hmm...]

Do you think maybe she's jealous? I mean she was apparently hanging around outside your room which is why she was there to break in..

Sorry could you repeat yourself I think I had somethin' ridiculous in my ear.

She was what.

Well, i don't know, but I was wondering why she was even there. She knocked down part of the wall to stop you choking or something, remember?

[Oh wait, sopor.]

She was the one that got you out your slime coffin.
caligulas_aquarium: (Default)

[personal profile] caligulas_aquarium 2012-11-13 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yes I remember.

What I didn't know was apparently she hangs around outside my room an' takes the liberty a' breakin' down my wall when she feels necessary.

What the fuck was she ewen doin' out there.
tipsygnostalgia: (well if you just listened)

[personal profile] tipsygnostalgia 2012-11-13 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know!
