one █ voice

[uzi]

_{( The voice is clipped, sharp, and to the point-- no scuffling with controls or stopping to take things in, here. Also? Whoever this woman is, she sounds pissed off. )}

So, City—great name, by the way, though I think someone beat you to it—stop me if I’ve got any of this wrong.

Alternate dimension, time travel, and duplicates of people we might already know. Superpowers, overly ambitious AI, and absolutely no discretion about who it pulls in, despite claiming to want “heroes.”

And apparently no reliable way back, since you’re all sitting on your hands, here. Perfect.

Just one question—is the universe as I know it going to implode because of all this crap?

_{( flatly: )} Then it's in even worse shape than I thought.

Miss Stacy, is it? _{( not really a question. )}

voice;

[candidly]

[ so sarcastically: ] Oh, totally. We were completely screwed without people like you here.

Yeah, that's my name. Congrats on your reading skills.

[uzi]

If you're going to throw some passive-aggressive fit, kid, you can do it somewhere else.

I didn't ask for this anymore than you.

[candidly]

You're not even going to wonder why I'm pissed that someone like you got pulled here?

[uzi]

Probably because "someone like me" pissed you off, and you think that makes me an easy target for whatever issues you've yet to get over.

[candidly]

[ alskjdfsl dammit monica you're thwarting her vent at someone about her shield/ultimates issues BC ]

Not really, but nice try. [ this is a lie. ]

[uzi]

Oh, yeah? _{( does not believe you. )}

So what is it, then?

[candidly]

Telling would kind of ruin my whole petulant, passive-aggressive teenager thing.

[uzi]

Withholding only works if the other party wants the information.

[candidly]

You asked.

eee those icons are so cute!

[uzi]

Only because you were oh so eager to share, a second ago.

it's the most adorable face

[candidly]

You must have me confused with someone else.

fluffs her big hair :3

[uzi]

Oh, right. It must have been the other teenager who accosted me today.

C:

[candidly]

And I've just got one of those faces.

[uzi]

Or one of those voices. _{( 8| )}

[candidly]

Hey, you're catching on.

[uzi]

I am supposed to be good at that, you know. _{( but the sarcasm can only last so long, so she continues: )}

So are you just going to glare at your communicator some more, or are you going to make up a problem that makes that seem justified?

[candidly]

Nope.

[ click. ]

[uzi]

_{( well excuse you. )}
