002 // simple solutions

[ultragorgeous]

[He smiles a bit, sitting back from the screen for a moment.]

So, it seems that we'll be leaving this place. Some of you seem...upset.

Not I! I am quite pleased to be rid of this place. But if it bothers you that much, I, the great GENIUS Dist the Rose, propose this:

Given the right materials, I could begin making replicas. In fact, I could even replicate the entire island. If we bring one Exile with us, I could make many more from them. You see? It matters not if I make a hundred or a hundred thousand! We could simply repopulate the island!

[He folds his hands in his lap, pleased.]

It's a simple solution, directly from the mind of a genius. You may thank me now.

I AM NOT A COCKROACH!

[Which is that what the dude said but DIST IS SENSITIVE.]

[anotheryosuke]

[... He just stares for a moment before breaking into (poorly) muffled snickers.]

You're not real good on this listening thing, are you?

[ultragorgeous]

I can hear perfectly fine.

[anotheryosuke]

Hearing an' listening are not the same thing!

[And if he sounds a touch too gleeful, it's just because it's the first time he got to use that line on someone else.]

[ultragorgeous]

I DON'T NEED TO BE LECTURED BY THE LIKES OF YOU!

[anotheryosuke]

Hmmm, but apparently you do, 'cause you're pretty much pissing off the whole population, aren't you? Trust me, you gotta get better with your PR! People'll remember you, but they won't come to your shows, they'll just gossip about you in magazines!

[ultragorgeous]

I can't help it if they envy me.

[anotheryosuke]

Ah, no, in this case I don't think it's envy!

[Except maybe for your ability to see the world through rose-tinted lenses.]

[ultragorgeous]

[He tosses his hair.]

I cannot say I exactly blame them.

[Dist did you even comprehend that reply? Nope.\

[anotheryosuke]

[Right, right, he's talking to someone with even better selective hearing than Kazami!]

Hmm, but you know, rumors are really dangerous. If you keep yelling about clones and stuff people are going to start thinking you're a spy for the UE even if you're just playacting!

[ultragorgeous]

Hmph, perhaps the UE would more appreciate my skills!

[anotheryosuke]

Maybe, but you'd probably have to wear a helmet. I'm thinkin' it'd clash something awful with that outfit.

[ultragorgeous]

As if a simple helmet could fully mask my beauty and elegance.

[anotheryosuke]

[... Ahh, he can't do this, he breaks out in snickers again.]

Dude. Your place has a really interesting idea of beauty and elegance...

[No Naoya that's just Dist.]

[ultragorgeous]

No, those on my planet were just as unrefined as those here, I've found!

i don't know what happened to this thread

[anotheryosuke]

So it is just you, then. At least you have style, I guess!

[It's a little flamboyant even for him, but you get points... for trying...!]

shh it's beautiful

[ultragorgeous]

FAR more style than the savages that surround me could ever hope to have!

[anotheryosuke]

Ah, sure, sure, but if you keep calling them savages, people are really going to think you didn't have much competition!

[ultragorgeous]

Competition? From the other people here?

HAH!

They could never DREAM to attain my elegance!

[anotheryosuke]

No, I'm pretty sure most of them couldn't even imagine it. You could probably open your own clothing line and they wouldn't know what hit 'em!

1/2

[ultragorgeous]

Hmm, perhaps you're right...

[ultragorgeous]

No doubt that it would be a success!

[anotheryosuke]

The market's pretty open right now, anyway. I don't think the Exiles have much by way of fashion, it's pretty sad!

[That's... actually... sincere, don't talk to this guy about fashion, seriously, don't.]
