[A little screen flickered on and the man looked down with the amazement of a small child who’d just discovered chocolate ice cream. He’d been given a basic run down of the features but even still, the fact that there was a miniature movie screen in his bedroom was impressive. He had to wonder what Ling would have thought about something like this, or even the blond kid Edward and his Brother. Outside of a movie theater the best they’d had was radio and even that was used mostly for news and announcements.]

Oh yeah, I could definitely get used to this [Greed leaned in, focusing on the area that had been pointed out to him as the “camera lens”. Could a camera really get that small? This place just kept getting better. Well aside from the whole ‘stranded without anyone you know around’ thing.]

So, there are people watching this right? [He pulled his face back so that he wasn’t just one large violet eye.] Well then, whoever’s out there; I’m GREED.

[And the man raises his left hand up to the screen, showing off the red tattoo on the back ]

I’m not sure what kind of world this is, but it doesn’t matter, because it’s mine now! [He was brimming with confidence now, but he could almost hear Ling chuckling and commenting on how the Prince was sure he’d grown out of that by now. How making ridiculous claims of ownership to a world he’d only just arrived on was probably not the best way to get people to be friends with him. And inwardly he groaned It’s like you’ve become my damn conscience, and you’re not even here! Damn Prince. He thought petulantly. The thought reminded him though of something else they’d told him while he was having ‘bizzaro world orientation’. He was supposed to find a job. Probably the worst fate he could think of short of having his philosopher’s stone destroyed (again). What were his job qualifications? Oh right, killing things and stealing things. That was sure to get him loads of work.]

Oh yeah [He turned his attention back to the camera, scratching the back of his neck with a kind of strange, almost uncomfortable expression] Apparently, I also need to find work. So if you need anything stolen or killed, look me up. [There was another pause as the man looked up at the ceiling for a moment] Well… I also used to own a bar. So I can mix a decent drink too.

Comments

[youjustlivehere]

Hey. Bar tending is not a criminal activity. [He gives her an almost insulted expression, then blinks] Oh. You meant the stealing. [to which he just shrugs casually and provides no defense to this accusation.]

Right, right. [There's a grimace as he remembers that he'll have to work for someone here. That was going to be really annoying he could just tell.] Hey thanks for the tip kid!

[alphatar]

I meant the stealing and the killing! [Frustrated, Korra slammed her fists onto her desk which caused some things to clatter over.]

Seventeen, I’m not a kid. [Much more of a snap than an answer.]

[youjustlivehere]

Seventeen sounds like a kid to me. [Still wasn't denying his criminal activities either. What would be the point of that anyway, it wasn't as though he were ashamed] But if it makes you feel better; you're an older kid.

[alphatar]

[An irritated, exasperated groan escaped her and Korra just rested her forehead against the bottom of her palm. It was either give up or get angry. And she really liked her suite, especially the way it wasn’t on fire.]

What’s your real name? [She didn’t believe for a second that wasn’t some kinda of alias.]

[youjustlivehere]

I already said my name, I'm Greed. As in the living personification of Avarice. [or someones avarice anyway] So then, what's your name?

[alphatar]

That...is weird.

[Not exactly something Korra felt up to trying to comprehend just yet.]

I'm Korra. Just stick to not doing anything illegal, ok?

[youjustlivehere]

Korra. Nice. Anyway I can't make you any promises. My avarice has gotten me into trouble in the past so don't be surprised if it happens again. [he doesn't seem all that concerned with stopping it either]

[alphatar]

[Staring at him a look of pure disbelief and shock, Korra's face slowly started to match her anger.]

Well you better start making them, because I'll be the one you have to answer to!

[Actually, more like every single superhero here, but Korra knew it was her duty to do such things.]

[youjustlivehere]

[since she's just an angry face on a screen right now, Greed doesn't feel all that threatened by her. In fact he actually puts his hands behind his head, looking positively relaxed] Mm-hm.

[alphatar]

You just-! How can-

[She was trying to find the words to express her anger at his attitude, but so many came to mind that she couldn't pick any. A frustrated growl escaped her and he fingers spread out to crush nothing more than air.

So instead she just glares at him and cuts her feed off, along with another irritated exclamation.]
