[video/intro] - action/prose welcome

[theamazonqueen]

[Now that's a sight - or not really. The camera shakes as the sound of someone running through echoes and you briefly see flashes of blonde hair, bronze skin and bright hazel eyes. As if the owner of the device is trying to make it focus on something. Then you hear a familiar voice. It's Miss Schnee giving her familiar speech, and you see her presented in the cameras view. Then you hear it. The unmistakable sound of a blade being unsheathed from its hiding place, unseen from the camera's angle, and it hangs before the camera and hologram, rising up ready to strike.

You should say or do something. Before she does something stupid.]

[what the hell? The camera angles to put the blonde into view and she arches a brow.]

I am not Leela. Who're you?

[guitar_hero]

[he could say the Doctor but... well...]

No one important.

What are you worked up for? It's just a hologram. Has some good information if you pay attention to it.

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

You felt important enough to call me someone else's name. Or should I make one up for you?

[she had a few choice words for him. For one, old man. Viejo seemed like a fitting title for him. She looks almost disgusted at him and glances at the woman then back to him.]

How do you know?

video

[guitar_hero]

Well I am pretty important. I was just sort of, you know, downplaying myself because of complicated reasons I'm not getting into. Also adds an air of mystery. No one important. Just a bloke with sunglasses and an enigmatic presence.

[this would look so much more impressive if he were in the TARDiS but alas]

And obviously because I've listened to it and I'm not as new as you are. And if you spent ten seconds to listen instead of hacking at it you might become more enlightened than you are now.

[but he doesn't mind a bit of barbarian now and then. It's cute]

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

[she let's him babble and raises a brow at him, looking rather unamused. She looks at the woman's figure before her and then back to him and taps the screen with the tip of her katana blade.]

Fine then, viejo pinchi. Enlighten me.

[Fucking old man would be the closest translation to her name given to him.]

video

[guitar_hero]

Not to me, to her. The hologram that is patiently explaining things to you. [the last thing he wanted was to become a welcome guide]

But you know listening first instead of stabbing is just good manners.

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

Something about me telling you I cannot do both?

video

[guitar_hero]

The bigger question is why you feel the need to do both.

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

[the fuck, man?]

I asked you if you think I am both? Yes or no. Nada mas. [nothing more.]

video

[guitar_hero]

You are both what? [he might have lost the train of the conversation] Point is: less stab, more listen. I'll try my best to fill in the gaps if it's still a case of El niño no comprende nada y vive escondido en un sótano.

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

Ah, si puedes halbar orta idioma... [you can speak other languages.] Cabron... [brat, or fucker, take whichever translation works best for you. She still appears unimpressed, still irritated.]

You don't stab with a katana. [you can. it's just not a preferred move. The blade was built for other moves.] Not that I don't have blades made for that.

[are they even still with her. Her katana's were always on her back.]

video

[guitar_hero]

You got that in one go. Excellent.

[no wait that would fall under the sub-label of rude.]

Why you feel the need to slash, stab, eviscerate or whatever anything is beyond me.

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

Would you like to be a tester? I'd be happy to give you a more one-on-one example.

video

[guitar_hero]

Is that all you can talk about?

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

Depends on the day and who I'm talking to.

video

[guitar_hero]

Well theoretically if you were talking to someone else on another day, what would you say?

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

What do you want? [you asked, man.]

video

[guitar_hero]

Oh! Excellent question! I like that one. I usually go for: What's going on. Or: Who is that. Or: Where am I?

But asking someone what they want. Won't always get you a straight answer. And if they want to kill you it's a rather short one. But I like it.

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

I don't need a straight answer and anyone who tries to kill me won't.

[smug, much? Yep.]

video

[guitar_hero]

Oh, mirate.

Todos saliendo y listos para matar a la gente. Ellos crecen tan rápido.

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

[she waves a hand at him in a silencing gesture.]

Aprendí por mi cuenta. Me enseñaron a usar mis armas. No más.

video

[guitar_hero]

¿Está bien? ¿Quien enseñó?

Re: video

[theamazonqueen]

Viejo de Japones. Para asistir me familia y pueblo. Pero era más para él, que para mí. Normal por hombres.

They look for themselves and fuck the rest.

[there's not hint of resentment. It's obvious.]

video

[guitar_hero]

[it is obvious. But not unusual. In any case, perhaps time to switch it up a bit]

Sono yōna riko shugi wa doko ni demoaru. Soredemo, sukunakutomo anata wa mananda. Anata ga sō shi tsudzukeru koto o nozomimasu.

Re: video - there is no way in hell I am able to translate that lol You win!

[theamazonqueen]

[she blinks]

You know Japanese?!
