[ CRINKLE ]
Hey, so, that machine lady--
[ CRUNCH. ]
Y'know, the one that starts nagging us right when we get here.
[ A lurching blur, another CRINKLE. ]
She's not so bright, is she, huh?
[ And the blurry, disjointed image on the communicator's screen finally resolves into something coherent: a teenage girl eating chips and staring at the device with a fiercely unimpressed expression. ]
If she's not gonna listen when I tell her I ain't no hero, she kinda sucks at this importing thing!
[ CRINKLE CRINKLE CRUNCH ]
Seriously.
[ She balls up the now-empty bag of chips and flings it away off-screen. ]
Someone better tell me how I get outta here soon or I'll just hafta mess up the place. That'd prove I'm no hero, right? But it's a waste of time if there's an easier way, so you should probably just let me know now.

She's not hiding, stupid, you just met her. Lachesis is the Porter. The one who brought you in. And the one who'll send you back, when she decides she's good and ready. You can try to attack her, but don't come crying to the network when she ports you to Mexico or wherever the fuck. You're not the only one who takes issue with the endless cascade of musclebeast diarrhea she pours over their protesting faces, and not the first to try that approach either. It's useless. Not to mention the sheer retardation of the plan on its own- if she were smashed to pieces, how would she send you or anyone else back, genius?
voice.
Huh? I don't care if she sends anyone else back.
voice.
My point stands.
voice.
[ A moment's pause--she's actually thinking, under the bluster. But it's not like she can start talking with whoever's on the other end of this thing about witches. No, got to be a bit less direct, and keep blustering. ]
Well, if she's smashed up, this whole place might disappear. Don't y'think?
[ Not that she's very good at being indirect. ]
voice. edits forever sorry about your inbox
Because if it were as simple as smashing her up with the amount of overpowered fuckwads running around this place, someone would have already done it.
Also, what good do you think it would do if you made this whole place disappear, while you were still in it? God, sit down and use whatever sad excuse for a brain you have rolling around in that skull of yours, for the love of fuck. Or don't. Go ahead and try it anyway, be my guest, and don't complain when you end up ported to the moon or some bullshit.
voice.
[ She did pick up on something else in that rant, though! Something about people being overpowered. Which means... ]
If everyone here's got a power or something, what's with you still being stuck here? You gotta have tracked down the culprit and smashed them by now.
voice.
Because, and I know this may be a difficult concept for you to process, maybe sit down and hold onto something to brace yourself for the impending intellectual strain I'm about to inflict on you- it's not that fucking simple. People have tried! People who are probably- no, guaranteed to be more powerful than you have tried. We have power out the goddamn ass here. If power were a ticket home, do you think she would let us have them? Willingly give them to us? No. Fuck's sake.
voice.
[ Pause for her to briefly consider that that might mean something. One beat, two beat--
Just kidding. She was only pausing to think about how to insult him in response. ]
That only happens when you're weak or just scared to do what's gotta be done, y'know?
voice.
[ huff. ]
If you want to mess with Lachesis, you'll have to think of another method. I've been trying to figure one out. Or, again, you can go ahead and attack her. Have fun stranded in the middle of the ocean.
