☠ twelve [translated from eldritch]

[ The video opens to a black screen and the dulcet tones of Nic Cage being dramatic before it shakily focuses on a television screen. There's Gerard Butler (with white hair and familiar black headband on) and Rob Lowe (dressed like a familiar magician, sans the fishnets), running and jumping as an explosion occurs behind them. Then, the narration begins: IN A WORLD WITHOUT HOPE, ONE COP DARES TO STAND ABOVE THE LAW -- a flash of Gerard Butler looking bad ass -- ROSE LALONDE. AND TOGETHER WITH HIS BEST FRIEND -- a flash of Rob Lowe and some poorly put together CGI magic -- ZATANNA ZATARA, THEY'LL BOTH SAVE THE CITY.. There's more action and explosions, but nothing really explaining what the movie is about. And, just when they seem like they're going to clue you in, the camera is turned around and you get a view of two unimpressed ladies kicking back on a couch in what appears to be Zatanna's house, to those that may be familiar with it.

there's a dead silence from the two ladies, with the trailer still playing in the background, saying something about a Thanksgiving premiere date. Rose and Zee who are still just sitting there (Rose with a fat cat in her lap), exchange glances. the silence continues.

and then, Rose speaks up.

They got my hair wrong.

[ooc: There are a few commercials out now for "AbracaDAMAGE!" a movie made with footage from the battle at Magic*Con. Some include Kristen Stewart as James Bond.]

I usually get some say in it. The manager's pretty good at knowing what I like and don't like. He's the one that convinced me t-shirts would sell well, actually. It just always has... weirded me out a little. That aspect of what I do.

Beats having cults based around you.

Power Girl gets the worst merchandise, though.

I've had some weird fans. There was a period of time where people would come around to San Francisco during my off-seasons and try to become my arch-nemesis or just... touch me. [This is actually canon.]

She really should look into getting some legal representation for that. Though it's obviously a lot easier to handle when you don't do the secret identity thing.

I can't really imagine you with a... arch nemesis. Or at least, not one of standard supervillain crap.

Stalkers, though, yeah, that's not hard to believe.

Meanwhile, I'm too post-menopause to have to deal with any of this.

Some of the joys of being old.

I have this thing going on with Tannarak. Every now and then he does something he shouldn't, tries to kill me, I beat him, then he invites me out for a very expensive dinner. Magic villains are top notch, really.

[Conveniently, she doesn't address the stalking part.]

Don't know. I bet if you'd shown up at Magic*Con you'd be in this mess, too.

I'm not marketable, in any shape or form.

It's great.
hexappeal: (listen.)

BS. You're incredibly badass. And pretty self-sacrificing. That's very marketable, in the right hands. [DC Classics figures is needed, stat.]
