Hey.

Hey.

[ The bang of a door slamming open, then traffic, people. ]

Y'know what? A girl gets sick an' tired a'being hauled around like garbage t'do the dirty work of a stupid machine. I ain't answerin' t'that scrap heap a'metal, and there's nothin' anybody can do t'change my mind.

I'm Diamond Lil. Mechanical cow can kiss my diamond --

[ A taxi horn blares. There's a clattering sound, like something metal -- a trashcan, maybe, or a bench -- just got kicked over. Surprised murmurs in the background. ]

At least you coulda teleported me t'the right damn country!

Can't even avoid you in an alternate dimension. Didn't I tell you t'stay away?

[futureleader]

Yeah! You tell those dumb robot nerds!

[glassbox]

S'always the damn robots.

[futureleader]

We should just fire the technopaths into space to be honest. Stop giving robots thoughts of their own!

[ she's sitting outside of a library, chinhandsing with one hand while the other holds the comm. ]

Hi, Lilian. You seem really upset! Maybe you should try some breathing exercises or something! [ she grins sheepishly ] I'm joking.

[ also if you could whenever you have time pls. ♥ ]

[glassbox]

Unless breathin' exercises are gonna get me home, I'll pass.

[ankhs]

It'll at least make things easier! I know being angry is comforting for you, but I don't know how much it will help!

Try punching her. I hear that's an excellent way to get somewhere else.

[glassbox]

[ gettin' all catty: ]

I thought about it. Decided I didn't wanna end up in Antarctica while wearin' spandex.

[uzi]

A shame. Surviving that would've proven your worth more than your screaming on the network.

permavid, you maple syrup guzzling hobag!

[heartlessglitch]

[ you. ]

Confirm your identity.
Are you the mutant designated Lillian Crawley?

fine you stinking artificial husband-stealer!

[glassbox]

That's what I said. I'm Diamond Lil. Who're you, the robotic welcome party?

whatever get out corpse bride!

[heartlessglitch]

I am the sentient codestruct called Danger.
I am not a party, and you are not welcome here.

[invisibly]

Which country is the right one?

[glassbox]

The one north a'here.

[hulk]

W-well, you don't have to go and. The whole hero thing is, it's pretty loose and nobody really enforces it, so there's no real obligation. Whole bunch of people Are just going and trying to go and. You know. Live their lives. Sorry.

[glassbox]

You're a nervous kinda guy, aren'tya.

[voice]

[superspeeds]

[glassbox]

Which she? The teleportin' machine?
