Virginia’s Legacy [episode 2]
Cressida: “Isn’t that the girl who was arrested for public nudity and dumpster diving?”
Marina: “Holy shiz, it looks like she’s been living here.”
Cressida: “No way, it can’t be. They’re saying she was batshit insane, like she was convinced she came here in a time machine.”
Cressida: “Oh my god, it totally is her!”
Virginia: “I heard that you were talking shit.”
Cressida: “I didn’t think that you would hear it.”
Virginia: “A few times I’ve been around that track, so it’s not gonna happen like that, ‘cause I ain’t no hollaback girl.”
Cressida: “You ain’t no hollaback girl?”
Virginia: “Bitch, I’m a homeless time traveler who’s literally been living in a 24 hour gym for a week. How do YOU think I’m going to settle this score?”
Virginia: Did she just pass out?… “Fine. I will let you live another day.”
Virginia: All things considered, this isn’t a bad place to live. But I’m not used to this life. Unless they find something that confirms I was reported missing in 1905, I’m not even going to be able to find a job any time soon. I know- I’ll just go to a few bars, work my charms, and weed out the ones with no dough.
Okay, I obviously need to go somewhere classier. But first, I need to take care of something important.
Virginia: “Food, food… Something to sell, anything…”
Virginia: “Oh, shit!”
Virginia: I can master any social situation. “Hello, ma’am, my name is Virginia.”
Emmy: “Oh, well… Okay… I’m Emmy.” Did I really just touch her hands?
Virginia: “Pleasure to meet you, Emmy. You see, I-”
Emmy: “Get lost. I’m a celebrity production manager, do you really think you can impress me? You were wading through my trash.”
Virginia: “What if I told you… That I was the time traveler.”
Emmy: “No. Way. What did you say your name was again?”
Virginia: “It’s Virginia. Virginia Blister.”
Emmy: “Blister? Like, as in, Acanthus Blister?”
Virginia: “How do you know of my brother?”
Emmy: “Who doesn’t know him? The gorgeous bastard is turning 137 this year, I think. He’s a vampire. He was elected Leader of the Free World not long ago.”
Virginia: “You’re kidding me.”
Emmy: “No, not at all! If you’re who you say you are, then this is awesome! No, you’re definitely her- you two have the same eyes. I can’t believe I have royalty in my garbage!”
Virginia: ”Wow, my half brother… is still alive. And still better than me. After all of these years.”
Virginia: ”This is wonderful! I couldn’t be happier to hear that. And you say he was elected leader of the free world? That’s lovely. And to think, I thought I would never have to see him again.”
Emmy: “I’m a 4 star celebrity. Now that you officially have one star, I can pull some strings and have him meet with you.”
Virginia: “OH. THIS IS ALL SO WONDERFUL. BUT I WOULD HATE TO INTERRUPT HIS PERSONAL LIFE JUST SO I CAN FIND FOOD. AND SLEEP IN A BED. I DON’T NEED HIS HELP. IT WAS NICE MEETING YOU, BYE.”
Damn you, Acanthus. You probably blow your nose on one hundred dollar bills and, and here I am digging in trash cans. I try to invent a time machine to prove myself, only to find myself stuck in your shadow once again. Kudos, asshole.
And what if someone asks how old I am? Do I say 25, or 134? Did I even math that right? Acanthus was always the math one, but someday… Someday, I’ll make them all see that I’m just as good as him. At everything other than math.
Yes. They’ll all see.
