[Sorry, guys. She's one of those newbies.]

For God's sake. Really? This has got to be a first. Do these people even know who they're taking in? What am I even going to do here? I'm just a radio host back home, not - whatever you think I am.

[She is no soldier worth kidnapping, no, not at all, thank you very much.]

I can't do this.

I won't do this.

[Look. She's even throwing in a pause to show how serious she is.]

Besides, Fred wouldn't begin to know what to do without me. My fiancé? I have a life back home, you know, and it can't wait. So - you ought to put me back. As soon as possible, if that's not too much trouble.

[She has spoken. ... Then she starts to press random buttons because what am this technology.]

... Hello? Can anyone hear me?

Don't mention it. ( Heaven knows the world will fall into some hideous disbalance if there isn't some manner of undying animosity between them. She gives it a day or so of Poppy being in Exsilium and camped in her room before she starts complaining about something. )

As a word of caution, my roommates are rather colourful characters. ( Meth manufacturers, a lady who bonded with her over torture methods, a pot head.

"Colourful." ) But they really are good people. ( So don't be a bitch, Poppy. )

Don't worry, [she shakes her hair off her face, brushing it behind her ear once or twice.] I have no intention of getting in the way.

[and she has an idea of how colorful Jules' friends generally are.]

Oh, for-- ( For God's sake, Poppy. Don't se so self indulgent. ) That's not what I was saying.

( A bit of a huff. ) You're not in the way, don't try to make me feel bad before we even get there.

( And she is going to just steer Poppy towards the Housing building the the terribly glory of room 409. )

[stillbetter]

Only saying what you were implying. [Hmpf! Who's ungrateful. Certainly not she. And it's time to throw the cigarette away.]

[affections]

No, I'm more concerned about you treating them like they're not as good as you are, when you have not the faintest clue about them.

( Hissed out, quietly, before she points to the building. ) There.

[stillbetter]

Please, Julia, like I don't have bigger concerns right now.
