[Video: Thursday, Week 48] The most frightening of things

[bruiserprincess]

[There are few things more dangerous than a bored twelve year old. Unfortunately, that's what Verdana has right now.]

Okay, this is getting bad. So I'm just gonna ask.

Does anyone have a lot of heavy stuff they need moved around? I am seriously that bored.

Or bad guys to beat up. If you need bad guys beaten up Princess Powerful is all over that! Bad guys would be way better.

[Let's introduce Molly to one of the Avengers, shall we? Thor pops up on the screen, looking amiable and oblivious and a little bit charmed. She sounds like him, as a child. (Or even him sometimes, now.)]

There are very few "bad guys" here that require beatings, I fear. The worst we have are bandits, and they are well outside of the city.

There are probably a number of heavy things that require moving, however. I tend to seek those out, myself.

Princess Powerful? What ever could you be talking about?

Did you hit your head?

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Princess Powerful? Hmm, I like it.

[Oh, hey, it's the lady from the Flop, wearing a slightly goofy mask.]

You beat up a lot of bad guys, squirt? I had at least ten years on you when I got into the gig, you know.

[There's a noticeable shift in Molly's demeanor as soon as she recognizes Thor. From bored to... decidedly unhappy]

You sure you aren't just really bad at paying attention to bad guys who aren't in New York?

Superheroes need awesome codenames.

It's a way better name than stupid Bruiser.

[And no one here can insist on it]

Someone has to deal with all the bad guys in LA. The Avengers sure don't bother.

Well since I seem to be catching up on a couple thousand years of history, you're going to have to fill me in as to what a 'superhero' is.

[fromthevalley]

Princess Powerful of what realm?

[ You need adult supervision, Molly. ]

Why do you not attend school?

[bruiserprincess]

They use powers or sometimes just cool technology to fight the bad guys!

[bruiserprincess]

LA, but it's a superhero name.

[She doesn't think she's an actual princess or anything]

I haven't gone to an actual school in ages. Everyone here seems okay with it.

[...What is even with you kids?]

Please try to refrain from assaulting anyone within the city limits. The sheriff's office is overworked as it is without having to arrest overzealous royalty.

[Audio]

[bruiserprincess]

What if they start it?

[Audio]

[outer_npcs]

Self-defense is acceptable, of course.

[There's a brief pause before he adds, a little wryly,]

You will, however, be held accountable for grievous bodily harm or wanton property damage.

[Some of you people can shoot lightning from your eyeballs, okay, it has to be said.]

...Why? Don't you people have knights?

Look, you'd better leave the bad guys to law enforcement. I wouldn't want you to get into trouble.

[Luke makes sure to hold his comm device far enough away that his uniform is clearly visible.]

[A year ago, that would have made perfect sense. Before she found out her parents were evil. Before it turned out practically the entire LAPD was in the Pride's pocket.]

Waiting around for someone else to fix things doesn't go so well.

Re: [Audio]

[bruiserprincess]

No powers on people who don't have any unless they're like a zillion ninjas, I know that one. I'm not stupid.

[bruiserprincess]

Knights are ancient history. Mostly we've got cops and soldiers and stuff but sometimes you need something a bit more.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[Oh man, if anyone else understands evil parents...]

Maybe not in some circumstances, but taking such a responsibility into your own hands won't go well, either. There's an established order of law in this town and the sheriff won't be very happy if you start going around as a vigilante.

Trust me, we've already got everything under control. If you see any bad guys just let me know, okay?

[bruiserprincess]

They always say that, but no one ever shows up until after it's all over.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

[He sighs.]

I'm not saying you can't defend yourself, I'm just saying don't go looking for trouble.

[bruiserprincess]

It tends to find me just fine.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Well you sound like you're pretty capable of taking care of yourself. Looking for trouble and handling the trouble that finds you are two very different things.

[fromthevalley]

I don't think I understand what you are saying at all.

[ She is apologetic about that. ]

If you don't mind me saying so, this is the second time that I've heard you say that you were bored.

[ And Helga believes Molly has probably said it more than just twice. ]

If you are not going to go to school, perhaps you take up an apprenticeship somewhere.

[Thor looks puzzled. That is not the kind of reception he'd been expecting.]

Nay... I have only been to New York once, though the enemies there were fairly obvious, at the time.
