[ there's a little curious turning, this way and that, before the handler must decide the camera is properly on and sets the communicator down in their lap. the feed shows a young girl in a pink jumper with an ice cream cone in her hand (slightly melting).

she can't be more than eight or nine, but she seems unfazed by her new surroundings. ]

I thought I got lost in the multiverse or something, but then the machine lady said she brought me here on purpose.

[ she pauses to tilt her hand, licking away some of that melting ice cream-- and when that fails to be effective, she switches hands so she can wipe it on the hem of her dress. ]

It's about time someone decided to let me fight. I mean, I'm basically the most powerful eight-year-old ever, so it's lame that nobody ever lets me do anything. Plus, this is way cooler than going to school.

[ a little grin. ] I can't wait to tell Dad about this.

Don't move or you're grounded.

[centurybaby]

[ a little surprised blinking, then she leans closer to her communicator, and maybe, for a second it looks like she might smile--

but on second thought, she makes a little bit of a face. ]

You can't ground me. That's not fair.

[ a beat, then under her breath: ]

Hi to you too, Daddy.

I can do some pretty cool stuff.

How powerful are you?

Jenny, you okay?

[centurybaby]

[Peering at the previous posts so curiously.]

It's like a family reunion.

[centurybaby]

Anything is way cooler than going to school.

[centurybaby]

Except for staying home, maybe, on account of everybody thinking you have to be babysat all the time.

Hey, where did you get that ice cream from? I thought they didn't start selling them until summer!

[The video shows a six year old boy who clearly has his priorities in order.]

Dairy Queen. I got vanilla dipped in cherry.

[iseethestrals]

I don't have much ground to stand on, honestly, but... isn't eight a bit young to be fighting? I'm sure your father would be worried sick.

[centurybaby]

[ a childish exhale. ]

Why's everybody always say that?

voice;

[xuffasch]

Really. The most powerful eight-year-old ever?

voice;

[centurybaby]

Sure. I haven't met one stronger yet.

[rhombus]

Most powerful 8 year old? What can you do? Are you a hero back home, too?

[centurybaby]

I can do all sorts of stuff. Teleportation, energy blasts... The century is really young, so who knows what I'll be able to do in a couple decades.
