Sooo...

[ It's just Maria again, panning the NV towards her face with slightly less amateurish skill than before. At least she's not plugging at all the buttons this time. By the looks of it, she's sitting in some slightly-run-down cafe somewhere, and the other patrons visible in the background are shooting her dirty looks for her loud public call; naturally, she seems absolutely unaware of them, sighing a little theatrically and running a hand through her wavy brown hair. ]

I've been here for more than a month now! Stuck in Canada for a whole month, yep... And my best friend ain't here, and my boss ain't either, and it's a huuuge drag, you know? 'Cause I don't have anybody smart to ask about this stuff! Well, if they were here, I wouldn't even have this question, but that's not the point, amigos! I'm asking you all because I can't ask Tick or Mr. Luck!

[ a pout. Her usual sunny self might not be immediately visible, but it is immediately visible that she's more frustrated and bored than actually upset. ]

So... So say you used to just be a sort of freelancing girl, right, amigos? You were used to taking jobs wherever you could! But then, all of a sudden, you found this reeeally cool amigo, so you pledged your loyalty to him instead! And it was like that for a year, where you only worked for the one cool guy! But all of a sudden you get teleported to Canada and your super cool boss is gone and you need a job!! That's awful, right? I mean, I need money, but is it really okay to take jobs when I'm supposed to just be working for this one guy? [ her hands clap onto the table, shaking the video feed a little bit. ]

It's not like I want to quit working with Mr. Keith!! No way! It's just that everything's expensive in 2012, amigos! And I don't wanna wash dishes! It's driving me and Murasamia crazy, totally crazy!! What should I do?

Yeah, they're more trouble than they're worth. Didja see the big flyin' fella that's like - [ wooshy hand gesture vaguely reminiscent of a wyvern - oh she's asking a sensible question??? ] -- Ah, mostly I work Lion's Gate, bouncer work. And right now I have a bounty to catch...

[ constant gesticulating is part of his exercise regime. He balls the sandwich wrapper up and throws it offscreen without watching to see if it lands in the trash (it does), shooting Maria a quizzical look. ]

No? It's not so different from our work back home... Except for all the paperwork.
vinovidivici: ([oh jeez)

Hey, if I'm a villain how come I'm so protagonist-ish?! [ pause ] And besides it's not just the cops that offer rewards for bounties.

[ Sniggered. ] You're more of a villain than I am.

[ He holds his hands up in mock defeat when he realizes what he just said, and in recollection of his own outburst on this topic after their first fight. ] All right, I'll give you that I am villainous. But you're still wrong; I'm a hero too. [ That was kind of a cool thing to say, right? He's slightly undermining it by absently poking at his face and wondering what's wrong with it. ]
vinovidivici: ([completely owning you)

It makes me me, all right?
