1st Theft [Video, Monday morning]

[tailforbrains]

[Most everyone is familiar with the tiefling who pops up on the screen, by now, for her first ever announcement over the network. So, probably, is the wicked little grin on her face. What may be less familiar is the funny, microwave-sized machine she's leaning on.]

So I managed to leave myself a little something from the past, a really awesome and expensive something. Aaaaand I just found it.

[Finally. After hunting everywhere for signs long since overgrown and even buried as the land changed over hundreds of years. Yeesh.]

Who wants to help me figure out how to make it work? Doctor, tech person, doctor-slash-tech-person... I'm open to ideas, here.

I'm guessing that's a no.

So it's an unstable prototype that's been sitting abandoned for a few hundred years? That sounds like a recipe for blowing people up.

[Tony, you are going to hate the irony of that statement soon enough.]

Whiiiich is why I'm asking for somebody to look at it. Duh. I'm not saying I'm going to go around using it on people right this very minute.

[Isn't he a killjoy? Sheesh.]

If everyone in the city sprouts six eyes and tentacles, it's on you.

[This is probably a joke. Probably.]

[She dips her head in a nod that's probably pretty mocking, itself.]

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for being so worried about little old me and my designs to mutant-i-fy the population. I've never been considered a criminal mastermind before.

[nodavinci]

Criminal mastermind? Nah. Mutating an entire city's worth of people is full Saturday morning cartoon villain territory. Don't forget to practice your evil cackle.

[Her amusement turns to confusion and minor suspicion. She's not sure if he's insulting her or joking, or both.]

What's a cartoon?

[Video]

[nodavinci]

[When in doubt, go with both.]

Your world must be incredibly depressing.

[Video]

[tailforbrains]

Yeah, it can be sometimes, I guess.

[She shrugs cheerfully enough.]

We do have magic, though, so that's something!

[Video]

[nodavinci]

...Yeah, remind me never to visit that one.

[Because ugh, magic.]

[Video]

[tailforbrains]

Heh, not too keen on magic, huh?

[She's not dumb. She can read between those lines. And it amuses her to find something this guy doesn't like.]
