[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....

Comments

[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.
