VIDEO.

[ this clip has been showing up on the internet and featured on the news. it's the same clip every time. it starts at a distance at first, lost in a crowd of people-- black bandanas, black flags all marked with the arabic word "kusoof", and the mismatched gear of an army in a struggling country-- before it zooms towards a figure at the head of the crowd.

it's a girl. she's young, and she's got something strong in her eyes-- determination or something from centuries of past lives, who knows. her face might be recognizable to some, past the smudges of dirt and sand, the darkened skin, longer hair, and the black bandana wrapped around her head. she's gesturing out to the gathered army, speaking to them in arabic while a cigarette dwindles in one of her hands. ]

--for us. You are mine. I am you. And the world will know us. So they can decide. Stand with us or stand against us.

[ she turns to directly stare at the camera, pausing only to snuff out her cigarette in the sand. her gaze is hard, lingering before she glances away and she waves someone over, issuing an order. someone closes in on the cameraman. the feed jostles and there's some muffled, frightened protests before he or she is brought to jenny. an exchange is stifled by the desert wind, but the words "go the fuck ahead" can be picked up, and soon the feed is adjusted, focused on jenny properly.

it looks like she has a message. ]

My name is Jennifer Quantum. I'm a lot of fucking things, and I've done a lot of fucking things-- but the things that'll matter to most of the assholes out there is first, I'm an ImPort, and second, Southwest Phoenicia is now mine. Its people, its resources, and its military belong to me.

If that fucking scares you, it should. You thought it was bad when ImPorts were playing heroes and villains in a single fucking city? You don't know the half of what we're capable of. And you have my official fucking invitation to come and find out. Join me, and you can see what good powers like mine can do.

Hunt me, and I will crush you.

[ with that, she gestures and the feed cuts. ]

(OOC: Plot reference post here! Also, replies will be sporadic since it's a news post, but for interaction's sake, Jenny will probably reply to people she knows or messages encrypted/privated to her most consistently.)

You can't talk to her at all? [ Because if someone could get her to calm down, it would be super helpful. ]

[ dryly: ]

You damn well better. That I even bothered complimenting you at all should be enough to complete your otherwise barren, empty existence. I don't exactly pass them around like shitty appetizers at some snobby highblood function. Like, seriously, people should be grateful when I even bother acknowledging their stupid pointless lives. Huge deal, right here, remember?

[ it has much less dramatic effect when it's not in big grey capslock and sounds half-amused, half-irritable. ]

Try to kill her and I will.

I'm not saying she's not doing something that's incredibly fucking stupid, but killing her's a bridge too far. I won't let you do it.

It's not like she told me. I just sorta figured it out, okay?

[ Yeah, not good. ]

Terrance, is it? [ She looks over the ID quickly. ] I want to help stop this, but I want to know what this girl is capable of.

Before someone stupid decides to burst into a country we have no jurisdiction over and attack her. [ She's pretty damn worried about this part. Can never predict what other imPorts are going to do. ]

Yeah, everybody wants to know what she's capable of. If there was a straight answer to that question, I'd tell you. But there's not.

[ irritably: ]

She's got some kind of reality altering, I guess.

A power disruption perhaps. [ The same technology used in the super jail. She herself can shut down powers, but she needs to get close enough to do that. ]

I would hope not.

But there are going to be others who will see her as someone to be taken out completely.
