[She woke up in her 'own' Mayfield bed after the madness of Bombfield, and -- freaked out a little, okay? There might've been some crying in the shower, but you know what? Roxanne isn't letting anybody see how weirded out and scared she is in this town. Not her ( Read more... )
And that is something she certainly does not want to do. So, Diana approaches Roxanne over where the newspapers are and clears her throat in a polite manner to get her attention.
"Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice what you're doing. Could I be of any assistance, perhaps?"
Who knows, perhaps Roxanne could be a valuable ally to her.
Reply
"Just-- keeping up on current events," she says, still uncertain of who to trust and who she can't. But Diana doesn't come off like a drone, so...
Reply
"Mm, well - Mayfield has a way to make you think that there's nothing on the outside world you need to concern yourself with. They want you to think that Mayfield is all you need and that's that. So, I'd... try to do something else," she states, hoping that was enough to convince Roxanne that she wasn't a drone.
Reply
Besides, Roxanne tended to see the best in everyone... Mayfield just made that a little stressful, was all.
"It's still good to know how they write, how they present their-- non-information," she says. "That's what I'm looking at."
Reply
"Are you thinking of emulating it, then? And providing us an accurate news source?" she challenges, the smirk creeping up on her lips in the process.
Reply
Well, after the bomb, she thinks it's very important that people know what Mayfield can do.
"I'm sorry; I'm Roxanne Ritchi."
Reply
"Well, if you'd like, I could offer my assistance here and there," she says with a slight shrug.
"As for me, I'm Diana Ethelbert, Miss Ritchi. It's a pleasure to meet someone like-minded around here."
Reply
"You don't know Megamind, do you?" she asked. There was certainly a chance that she was a different Diana, but Roxanne thought it might be unlikely.
Reply
"Big blue head, paranoid about being touched and has a need to be a villain? If that's your Megamind, then yes - I do," she replies with a slight smile. It seems that she has a fairly positive opinion about him, despite their differences that they've had.
"I take it you know of him, then."
Reply
... welp that makes seeing him later today a bit... awkward, doesn't it? Things to think on. Maybe.
"Sounds about right," she replies. "We're from the same world, yes."
Reply
"How is he like in your world? Is it any different than what he does here or not?"
Reply
Yeah, this makes seeing him today something to really think about.
Reply
"So, he's not as jumpy, is more collected, things like that? I guess you really do have to not judge someone like they're a book..."
Reply
That just complicated everything, didn't it?
Reply
"...So, are you two in a relationship of some kind?"
Blunt, wasn't she?
Reply
Oh the look Diana is getting right now. There is just no politic way to answer that, is there? If she blurts out NO it's like he's something icky, if she tries to beg it off it sounds like they're keeping it under wraps, and she can't say yes because it isn't true.
But all she can remember is him accusing her of wanting to know who his friends were, so she could tell them how bad he was. She couldn't explain the hostage situation, because... it'd reveal everything, and put him on the spot.
"We've known each other a long time, and our-- we're not--" digging that grave deeper, Roxanne, "-- it's complicated. But it's, ah, we're not -- involved. Really."
