[Ororo's decked out in the cloths she arrived in back during the festival, only she's fresh off her 'shift' of the day.]

Okay, so the whole anti-Foreigner thing aside, some of these kedan guys seem nice. I guess.

[They haven't freaked out at her for her hair or eyes, for one thing, but she's not totally convinced.]

But, can I get a second opinion on the job thing? There's a bunch of us that've been here long enough to know if it's a sham or not. [She leans back in her chair, bracing her boots against the edge of her desk, running her fingers through her hair.]

Look, last time I had to do a few hours "work" -- [She brackets the word with finger quotes.] -- for secure room and board really didn't work for me or my friends. [Weapon X project, she's looking at you.] I just want to make sure that kind of mess is never going to happen again.

[The deputising was bad enough, thx.]

Sounds like it. [That is pretty much her life, lbr]

Maybe there's a way we can get a peek at the script.

That'd beat reaching the end and finding out that we were Colonel Mustard it the Library with the candlestick. I'm stumped on how to spoil myself on real life. What kind of options do we have?

I'd take being Miss Scarlet, but I get your point.

[Steph gives that question some thought, although she's mostly just considering what's sensible to say over the network.]

There's gotta be people other than the Emperor that know, but I've got no idea who.
