This is recording, right?

[ Just because she's used slimey tech before doesn't mean she likes it. ]

Whatever. Hi, I guess?

[ You know what sucks the most about being in a new place? No one knew what her fucking name was. Do you know how goddamn hard it is to build a reputation as an interstellar badass? Now she's stuck in a hick town and the obvious smart thing to do is get to know the rest of your fellow kidnappees but wow this is such a raw deal. There's not even anyone in charge she can shoot to express her displeasure. Urge to maim, rising. ]

So I got most of the basics down or whatever. Magical bullshit. Recovering from occupation by big bad evil demon, blah blah. [ Don't care. ] I guess we're on a turtle? That's a thing.

[ She's seen planet-sized reptiles so state-sized ones are no big deal. ]

I'm The Stalk, your newest fellow prisoner. Who else is on here? I reserve the right to block you if you're too boring. There's a block button on this somewhere, right? Someone tell me where the block button is.

[ What's the point of watching when you could be in the thick of it? Watching is boring. ]

It's the best you will find around here. Actual murder is frowned upon by the police.

[spiderforhire]

Murder is frowned upon pretty much everywhere.

Just means your death circles have to get creative about location and advertising.

[ Or just be sponsored by rich people who owned said police. Actually - ]

So who runs the police, if the old boss got whacked?

[no_light]

[ Hmm... He's got a lot to say about the one who runs it, but since he is kind of working for her, or with her, now, maybe it'd be better if word doesn't reach her he's been badmouthing her...

Censoring yourself sucks, though.]

One of the Foreigners is founder and Chief of the Police Force. Her name is Valdis. She and another long-time Foreigner, Pepper Potts, believe firmly in building a new government structure for Tu Vishan.

[spiderforhire]

Governments can be good.

[ Theoretically. She's never seen it in practice, but theoretically. ]

What kind of woman is this 'Valdis?'

[ She was less curious about the other one. She just found the name hilarious. ]

[no_light]

A stern woman with a clear vision for this city. She seems to have the means to enforce it, too. As far as I gathered, she has been here for a long time, and she has gained a lot of support both from kedan and fellow prisoners.

[ There, still nicely neutral, isn't it? And true enough, he's yet to hear anyone speak badly of Valdis. ]

She is also a formidable fighter.

[spiderforhire]

She sounds like something straight out of Open Circuit.

Badass bitch who knows how to get the job done.

[ She hates her already. ]

[no_light]

Yes... that sounds like a fitting description.

[He may sound amused but it is actually not that funny. It ruins so many plans.]

I wish you good luck with her.
