[Well, that was even less fun than the whole accidentally-hexing-the-entire-Turtle-for-a-week incident.  Although, speaking of...]

[She's not quite as done as she was for her last announcement to her not-so-adoring fans, but there is a notable trace of both exhaustion and dryness to her tone as she leans back in her chair.  Arms folded and a smudge of the iridescent paint still visible on one cheek.]

For the record?  No, it wasn't me.

[Meaning the disappearances.]

[With that settled, she moves to turn off the console, although perceptive ears might be able to hear her mutter:]

Geez, one little mistake, and suddenly everything's always your fault....

[backwordscompatible]

To be fair, we don't know this time wasn't an accident.

Although, you might be surprised at how little that seems to matter to some people.

[supremefaith]

Well I get the feeling that most of the time the things here happen on purpose. I'm just not going to jump to the conclusion that it's the fault of foreigners unless there's proof or someone admits it on their own.

[backwordscompatible]

That's pretty smart of you.

[And, as one of the resident 'troublemakers', she appreciates it.]

[supremefaith]

I like to think I'm fair when it comes to things like that. As long as you're not hurting people intentionally.

[Make as much trouble as you please as long as no one gets hurt in the process, she's cool with that.]

[backwordscompatible]

Of course not.

I mean, unless they started it. Then, all bets are off.

[supremefaith]

I can agree with that! You're definitely entitled to defend yourself.

[backwordscompatible]

Glad we're in agreement on that.

[supremefaith]

I'd be a hypocrite otherwise. I have a tendency to defend myself on a regular basis.

[backwordscompatible]

Now, when you say "defend" yourself...?

[Does she mean she gets attacked a lot? Goes looking for a fight?]

[supremefaith]

I'm a warrior, I defend the Earth from outside threats...we get quite a few of those! Oh...and bullies, just because I don't like bullies.

[backwordscompatible]

[Huh. She didn't really look like a warrior. Then again, Zatanna probably didn't look like a vigilante either.]

What kind of outside threats?

I hope you're not being biased against non-Earthlings, you know. Some of my best friends aren't human.

[supremefaith]

Chaos. Chaos is an entity from deep space and it's tried destroying our world in a few different ways already.

What makes you think I'm biased? Naturally if someone attacks my home I'm going to fight back, but as a Jovian I'm not biased.

[backwordscompatible]

[A Jovian?]

[...she's going to just assume that's some (possibly cruel) slang term wherever Makoto's from, because the girl certainly didn't look like a giant gas planet.]

I can't really say I'm a fan of chaos either, but you weren't very specific when you mentioned defending the Earth. Just wanted to make sure, is all.

[supremefaith]

So you know. I don't have anything against anyone who comes in peace, but a threat to the Earth is a threat to the Earth.

[backwordscompatible]

Yeah, tell me about it.

We've got enough of those on-planet as it is.

[supremefaith]

Yeah, we have those too, but for the most part it's invaders.

[backwordscompatible]

Huh. For us, it's just the opposite.

In fact, I think the majority of "invaders" that show up are all on our side.

[supremefaith]

That sounds very fortunate. I wish they were all on our side...we were able to convince some to be on our side...but more often than not it doesn't work out.

[backwordscompatible]

I think they just really liked us.
