[ A colourful young woman appears on the console screen, leaning forward to turn on the video before settling back. She's wearing an elegant black dress, her legs crossed primly in front of her so one can see the white ruffles on the skirt, black and blue stockings, and her long duo-toned hair is spread in a veritable cape behind her. ]

So it's nice of you all to throw such a party for my arrival, but I don't plan on staying very long. However since you've brought out all the best sweets, I will stay long enough to sample all of them! Then the rest of you plebs can go back to your lives and I'll go back to mine.

[Demon's beard, one more.]

Good luck to you when you go.

[Yeah... no use even arguing with her. She'll find out soon enough.]

Thanks shrimp. The rest of you must have been pretty boned for a vacation if this is where you wound up. Sucks to be you.

[You did not just.]

Well. It will 'suck' to be you, too, when you finally realize just how long you will be staying.

Re: video;

[ oh yes she did ]

You might want to remove that robot speech chip from your brain before you try being sarcastic, midget. Otherwise you just sound stupid.

[ horrifyingly, this is Stocking's idea of "good advice" ]

Well. You caught it, so what does that say about you?

Y'know, whenever you finish arguing with the creepy kid and generally acting like a ten year old for all the network to see, we should probably cover a few basics.

Like the part where you're probably gonna be stuck here a while.

(assuming he's dressed as Spidey in the vid!)

[candystriped]

Take a hike, Spandex. I couldn't take anything basic from someone in that colour combination.

(I tend to use costumed icons when he is, so no worries!)

[wallcrawler]

Oh yeah? How 'bout lip?

[Yeah, you're not the first to comment on the outfit, Stocking. But it does mean he doesn't have to feel bad about mouthing off now. Besides, rude.]

Because it's not like "help the prissy pink-haired pain with her inter-dimensional kidnapping" was all that high on my to-do list for the day, so I might as well have a little fun with it.

(whew!)

[candystriped]

Simple things amuse simple minds.

(whew!)

[wallcrawler]

Wouldn't that make you the 'simple thing' in this scenario?

[He's still trying to figure out "good or bad" with you, Stocking. Well, good, bad, or Jameson. One of those three.]

I doubt very much your time is more valuable than ours.

[So dry.]

Re: audio;

[candystriped]

Pretty sure it is, unless you're also billing on Heaven's dime.

[emasculates]

There is no such thing as 'Heaven'.

Re: audio;

[candystriped]

[ a scoff ]

Right, because angels come from Chicago and demons come from Texas.

audio;

[emasculates]

No. Because they do not exist.

Make sure you save some of those sweets for the rest of us, lady. [ As if he's one to talk. ]

Re: video

[candystriped]

Not a chance, Red.

Who made you the "sweet queen?"

Re: video

[candystriped]

I did.

[ and that's all the justification she needs, in her mind at least ]

[Clark makes a face before turning the video on. Convincing this one she will not 'go back to her life' sooner than any of them will be hard, he can already tell.

He pushes his glasses u.] First, we're not plebs. Second, none of us planned to stay for very long but here we are.

Re: video;

[candystriped]

Peons then, what the fuck does it matter?

Just point me in the direction of your Ghost problem so I can kick its ass and get out of here.

video;

[andaway]

We are people. Not peons, not pleb- people. We don't have a ghost problem, we were suddenly brought here just as you were and we're stuck. Again, just like you.

I'm Clark Kent, and I will answer any questions you have- if you stop acting like that.

Re: video;

[candystriped]

If you want to get picky, both plebs and peons are still people. It's called a vocabulary, you might want to try it sometime.

And why would you bring an angel here if you don't have a Ghost problem?

Re: video;

[andaway]

So are Kings and Queens and I didn't hear you call us that. Words have connotations, you might want to add that word to that vocabulary of yours.

[A pause.] Did you just call yourself an angel?
