VIDEO: in which shitty teenagers pee at england.
[ the video opens up to the stretch of green, fenced field that may or may not be vaguely recognizable as the anglo-scottish border. in the distance there's a road, but besides that and the wire fence, there's just a group of teenagers standing on the scottish side that look distinctively like they're up to no good.
from off camera, a girl's wry voice can be heard: ]
Still fucking think we should call it the Authority.
[ terry's keeping his distance from the others, all furrowed eyebrows and frowns. if he's going to do this, he's sure as hell not doing it next to the telekinetics or mr. friggin' lightning pants over there, so he situates himself furthest away from the camera, tactically near some foliage. ]
Who the hell even cares what it's called.
[ striker is front and center. because he's striker. he's wearing regular clothes instead of his lightning pants, which is a courtesy to you guys, since otherwise he would have to pull his onesie all the way down to his butt just to free willy. ]
You should. If you don't have a good name, you can't have good branding. [ And then, pointedly: ] And "Authority" isn't going to generate good branding.
[ julian is a few paces away from striker, their new king of social network. he's dressed normally, with his jacket sleeves wrapped around his arms and his metal hands being floaty at his sides. ]
This whole thing is about rejecting authority anyway. But I don't even know why we're debating it. [ He glances between them all. ] You know you aren't beating the Hellions for a name. It's got way too much of a ring to it, and you're lucky enough to have me on board, which means no copyright issues. You should be fucking grateful.
[ he pauses, then looks out at thewild, untamed gross, nature-filled scottish landscape before them. ] So are we doing this, or what?
You guys are insane. No one is going to remember the Authority or the Hellions.
[ a few steps away from julian is quentin, he smirks at the fence and then to the guys. with a casual shrug he shakes his head before placing his hands on his hips. ]
Are you pee shy, Jules? [ another quirky grin. ] The Omegas have no room for shy little babies.
[ the camera turns around so that it's facing jenny, who exhales smoke from her cigarette at the feed before addressing it: ]
Fuck you guys. You're all shitty team leaders with shitty team name ideas. [ she makes a face, sticking her tongue out. ] And no electric piss or crossing streams, assholes. Nobody likes that shit.
[ there's a distinct symphony of tsssssss sounds. jenny rolls her eyes at the camera. ]
Boys.

Oh, of course! Because I would dare implore you to employ even a modicum of sense, it must surely be an indication that I'm undoubtedly suffering from a slow descent into madness!
But that's a perfect example of positive judgement, actually. A moirail is meant to complement one's own sense, to help one understand when they are nearing a poor choice. From the description you've given, that is what each individual in this grouping seems to lack.
[ and, of course, any moirail worth their salt would've gotten her to chill on this one a good while back. ]

You of all people should get that.

Carrie. She got --
She's not here anymore.
no subject
[ shit. now she feels like a dick. ]
Maybe I should put in the work to expand that portal, after all.
no subject
It's fine. It's not like I wasn't expecting it to happen one way or another anyway.
no subject
[ she switches this to private; no reason to get either of their issues all over the public network ]
But being resigned to its inevitability doesn't quite ease the discomfort. Not for one so closely entwined.
private
There's nothing to do except get over it.
private
I have little reason to believe you really think that, honestly. She meant too much for the memory to just be so flippantly discarded.
private
I don't know what else to do, Kanaya. What am I supposed to do.
private
[ her gaze casts downward as she thinks about it. but no, she does have an idea. the only thing that's kept her sane the past month. ]
Redirected aggression. But I would suggest something more useful than this current display.

But a Seer's duty is to direct. You had postulated on a method this could be done previously, if we can be certain that it will be accurate.
private
private
It can be perfected.
private
Okay. I'm listening.
private
We do still need to be certain, but you still provide a beginning point.

private
Carrie must have had her methods. If we can learn what they were and...carry them on, the way will open to us.
private
Yeah, well, it's too freaking bad we can't just ask her, can we.
private
Someone may be more familiar with her methods, or at least capable of offering the necessary supplemental information. We will need to find them.
private
You'd want to ask Jason.
