[The feed flicks on to reveal a young girl in her mid teens with her lips pursued in an expression that can only be described as annoyance.]

So first things first. Shopping. I’m not going to jump ahead of myself and ask for the nearest Michael Kors but if I’m going to fight in a war I need more than one jacket and skirt. But I really don’t do the whole Eastern Kimono thing. Not figure flattering at all.. Another thing I don't do? Work in retail. There has to be jobs in turtle land that aren't retail. Anyone need a math tutor? I do graduate level calculus.

[She sighs and purses her lips even further, despite that seeming humanly impossible.]

Now has anyone been able to get a clear answer on whether you’re “living, dead, or dreaming”? Because I was in the middle of learning some rather important things about myself and being dead would sort of put a damper on my personal journey of learning I’m a banshee or something like that. It takes a bit of time to adjust, this really can’t be good for my mental health. What an irresponsible emperor if you ask me. Which, she didn't, of course.

[She wraps a tube of lipstick against the base of the console for a few seconds as if considering if she wants to ask the next question.]

Finally, excuse the non sequitur, but does anyone here happen to know any teenage boys by the names of Scott, Stiles, or Isaac? They're all sort of tall and on the verge of flop-haired. I tend to follow on the heels of their trouble and if they're the reason I'm here, I need to have a word. Tell them Lydia is looking for them.

[With that she cuts the feed.]

Comments

[detectus]

Hm.

Well. Might have to try my hand at designing. No kimonos for me.

[She notices, but she's not going to comment, not just yet.]

[littlecousin]

I've got a bunch of Favrielle's patterns from when she was here--she was a great designer, like seriously world-class--and I can make you pieces from those if there's anything you like.

[There is no ulterior motive involved. Nita really is just that friendly...and that bored, because she's used to an impossible superhero schedule that shouldn't realistically leave time for sleep. Things are slow around here by her standards.]

[detectus]

Well. At least people on turtle land have a duty to fashion and helping others avoid becoming a kitschy disaster.

Does my savior have a name?

[littlecousin]

[Be careful. Nita's taste in clothes is very early nineties and consequently atrocious, though Favrielle knocked some of that out of her.]

Heh. I'm Nita Prentiss. Nice to meet you, welcome to Tu Vishan, it's actually not bad besides the literal existential war.

[detectus]

Never was fond of existentialism. Though recently I've been a bit more sympathetic to the whole "hostile world" feeling.

[littlecousin]

[Nita's not very philosophical, period.]

The world's not hostile, but a lot of the people in it are.

[She's also an eternal optimist.]
