[ The communicator abruptly turns on to a video of what looks like a teenage girl in a broad-brimmed hat. Well, a girl with gray skin, fangs, and what looks like two fang marks on the side of her neck. She looks more than a little irritated as she fiddles with the buttons.You say "use this," but you don't come with an instruction manual and then

Yeah, I've got that by now! [ wow, snappy. way to be a bitch Marcy. ]

Sorry. It's been a long day, what with the kidnapping to another dimension and zapped powers.

[rockonbones]

Yeah, then a guy popped up outta nowhere and explained things. That helped.

It's not even the lack of powers that has me bothered. ...Well, it does, but more than that, it's the fact that some random creeps decided to do all of this just for kicks! I'm all for new experiences, but I am not cool with being controlled.

[rockonbones]

That's good. The answering part. Not so sure about the "popping up outta nowhere part" but hey, I'll learn to live with it.

Let me guess: they're mad scientists who regularly mess with this world either for kicks or because they don't know what they're doing.

[rockonbones]

Oh, I'm sure I'll find a way to have fun either way! [ right back 'atcha. ]

Sounds like the typical, mysterious mad scientist alright. Any flesh eating zombies so far?

[rockonbones]

Already looks like there's a lot of potential! But that depends on your tastes, I guess. I'm not exactly the proper-princess type. Tea parties and refining my etiquette aren't exactly my idea of a good time.

Oh rats, I missed it. [ she sounds halfway joking and halfway serious. ]

[rockonbones]

Yeah. I've just had my fill of rigid courtly lifestyle. I get enough of that as it is. When I relax, I want to feel free from that.

Really? Huh, always wondered what Finn would look like as a zombie. [ then again it's probably likely, given how many damn times the Candy Kingdom gets infected with zombie-disease-whatever. ]

[rockonbones]

You gotta let loose every once in a while! Keeping up to courtly standards can drive a person bonkers or wear 'em down until they're as dull and shallow as a puddle. Everyone's gotta have something. That's my experience, anyway.

Yeah, he's a good kid. For a human.

[rockonbones]

You're on your own now, right? Now's a good a time as any to find that "something."

And you are? [ She sounds bemused. Humans aren't exactly common where she's from okok. ]
