1 Stuff | Video

[laylaknowsstuff]

[A young, blonde woman appears on the network. Nothing's really odd about her appearance, standard white female, except for the large 'M' tattooed over her right eye. She has a strange smirk on her lips that seems to indicate she knows something you don't.] Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a lady of wealth and taste.

[Way to make an entrance- steal V's introduction lines from V for Vendetta, and, y'know, quote the Rolling Stones. She waves.]

So, I've been told we're battling a terrible evil. Where I'm from, we call this Tuesday.

But I thought I'd drop a line, I just got in last night. If we're stuck here for the long haul, it'd be pretty nice to know a few more people than my teammates. So I'm here to say hello, introduce myself.

[And on that note…] I'm Layla Miller. I know stuff.

Define 'stuff'. Should I be bouncing my accounting problems off of you?

[video]

[laylaknowsstuff]

I've never been to high school.

[Don't talk to her about accounting.]

Re: [video]

[gathersnomoss]

It's not exactly a thing where I'm from either.

[video]

[laylaknowsstuff]

Oh, it's a thing where I'm from. I just didn't have the luxury of attending.

Welcome to Turtleland. You'll likely be around a long, long year.

[ The tiniest of Asgardians got your reference there, Layla Miller. ]

Or not. People up and vanish all the time, honestly, but that's hardly the point.

This is a far better welcome wagon than I got yesterday. [Hi, Loki.]

My but people come and go so quickly around here!

[bacondivination]

So I take it you enjoyed the lobotomy squad and all their useless faux-helpfulness. [ Someone likes the kedan ever so much, can't you tell? ] A rite of passage, that.

[laylaknowsstuff]

I got the gist of what they were saying.

Monet cleared anything I had questions about up.

Though I particularly enjoyed getting the Cylon Wake-up Treatment.

[fuckcable]

[She just can't help herself, can she.]

What, is 'hi' too good for you?

[laylaknowsstuff]

I missed you too, Ric.

[Or, would have. If, y'know, he'd been missing from her timeline.]

[fuckcable]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Enough with the pleasantries.]

What's the last thing you remember?

[laylaknowsstuff]

Putting my head down on the cooler. [The body cooler. Where they'd put Jamie.] Alex and Lorna had just been promoted.

Tuesday, huh? See, back home it's usually Wednesday for me.

[Actually it's usually 'whatever the plot demands' o'clock, but she's hot and Jim's in serious need of a distraction. So. Here he is.]

[laylaknowsstuff]

And where is home for you, mysterious stranger?

[To be fair, Layla's clock generally sticks on MORTAL PERIL all day every day. But time moves strangely in comics.]

Can I say 'space'? Literally, Iowa. But technically space.

video;

[laylaknowsstuff]

I've heard weirder, so I'll accept 'space'.

And you are?

[Video]

[fuzzyelf]

Useless stuff? Science stuff?

[There's a smile and he waves.]

Hello, welcome to the shell.

[Video]

[laylaknowsstuff]

Stuff-y stuff.

[She waves.] Hey, Kurt. Thanks for the welcome. One of the warmest I've gotten.

[Blue demon-looking mutant? She's got the basic X-Men dossier down. Obviously she's talking to Nightcrawler here.]

[Video]

[fuzzyelf]

Oh stuff-y stuff, that's the best kind.

Really? I thought your friends would have given you a warmer welcome than a 'hello' and a 'welcome'.

[He looks a little confused by that, but it's only for a moment until it's replaced with a soft smile again.]

Greetings, Ms. Miller. We find ourselves in agreement concerning the topic of allies and, as such, I wish to extend a welcome of my own.

[ With a polite nod, he adds his own introduction. ]

I am Commander Spock of the USS Enterprise.

[The eyebrows and haircut give him away before he even introduces himself, and Layla's eyes go wide for a moment. Only makes sense, given Monet told her Spock was their neighbor, and she'd already been flirting with Kirk. But... Oh my god, here he was!

Keeping her cool as best she can- which is pretty damn well- she nods.] Nice t'meetcha, Commander Spock. I've already met Jim.

Then you know he is my captain and I am similarly at your service.

[ Just to show his manners. ]

[demon_brat]

And what happens when you do not know 'stuff'?

video;

[laylaknowsstuff]

Stuff.

[That's what happens. Also she gets really confused and irritated and she doesn't like it at all, and that's exactly what is happening right now, so let's not talk about it, Damian, okay?]

video;

[demon_brat]

That is singularly uninformative.

[Except, he's just more curious.]
