I -

I think I need to talk to somebody, or....something. I -

- It's like, I feel fine? But - my skin is -

[Shego switches on video and now y'all can see what the problem is.]

I'm green. I mean -

[She discreetly peeks under the neckline of her sundress.]

- I'm green everywhere.  How did I get green?

This is so abnormal.

Goodness, you certainly are! Are you a thespian? There was a stage production about Martians, perhaps? ...I feel like we're all playing some strange game of Clue with extremely skewed rules.

...

I don't know. Maybe? I have a bunch of really high-end jewellery so I guess I'm pretty rich. Maybe I'm a famous actress who's...

...playing a Martian on a cruise ship?

Huh.

[a_bit_put_upon]

Well, that's certainly a movie I'd watch. All that rubbish with dashing back and forth in space doing terrible things to people- it's just not cricket. I would vastly prefer to watch a movie where the aliens came here instead, and did pleasant things like taking cruises and having families. You know, like in that one movie, with the mantises pretending to be people.

....I'd also have to say I'd enjoy watching a movie about Martians on cruises, if the Martians are all as lovely as you. Where are the rest?

[gotgreenmagic]

You think I'm lovely?

I mean - the other Martians?

I - I don't know. I don't remember anything. I don't even know my name.

[a_bit_put_upon]

Of course I do. What man in his right mind wouldn't? And I don't think any of us remember our names. Pity. Well, I vote we all revert to a childhood sort of solution: I say we make up our own names. From now on, I shall answer to Professor Plum.

That's - not a terrible idea. It'll help if we have something to call each other, right?

I'll be....[yes gonna pick this name seemingly out of the ether]...Kim.

[a_bit_put_upon]

Kim! That's a splendid name. Short, sweet and to the point. Sounds exotic too, like those Asian film stars. Perhaps that's what you are, rather than a Martian.

...Although I don't recall if Asians are meant to be green.
