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.)

Hey... I haven't heard from you in forever. Like what the hell girl, you take over a country and didn't think to invite your best bros?

Yeah, you've got a point there. Aside from the cute comment because I'm not cute, Jenny Quantum.

Soooo, Queen Jenny, when do we get to visit Phoenicia? Or is that like off the table now that you're wearing big girl pants and have the ungodly responsibility of running your own country.

Thanks but I don't need you to look out for me. You need to look after those people and your new country. [a distant pause] And someone's gotta look out for you.

You know this isn't going to sit well with many.

We're friends, right? I'll leave you alone to your country but don't you dare try to push me away, Jennifer Quantum. So, I guess what I'm trying to say is don't forget your friends when your country is successful and you take over the world.

I'm here for you in the city.

[He's quiet himself.] Happy Birthday, Jenny. [There's an awkward pause, and a shakey sigh.]

Sorry. I just, I thought you were angry with me.

I'll hold that against you, Jenny. Keep in touch if you can.
