[ Cheryl is sick. despite that, she's done her hair and makeup and dressed herself in a red silk robe. a lot of effort went into her appearance, but it does little to hide the fact that she's unwell. she looks tired. at home she was a pro at snapchat, and she holds the camera out at arms length. all that's missing is the puppy filter! ]

By now you've all heard of the great tragedy that's befallen us. I was caught right in the middle of everything, an innocent bystander in someone's very cruel plan to shake us all to the core. I don't scare easily and I don't wilt, but I could use your help in this trying time.

First: obviously i am confined to bed until I recover. You can entertain me by chatting with me and telling me your stories. Make sure they aren't boring.

And secondly: If you're able-bodied, perhaps you can avenge me. [ she pauses. smiles. ] Us. It's the right thing to do.

[ and as she ends the video: ] Hashtag Olympia Strong. [ yes, that's right. hashtag. this is Cheryl Blossom, after all. ]

How does that work? How can warriors keep peace?

[kaleorbekaled]

Well...when other planets need help because someone's trying to take over their planet or if there's a war or something, my people are called in to help. Or we were, anyway...

[Now they're all in pods or dead]

[sweetwater]

Oh. Maybe you could help here too. We could certainly us it.

[kaleorbekaled]

I was thinking of signing up for the Guard, but I'm not very good at talking to people. It's not so bad on here. I'm trying to talk to people more here to get better at it. Sis was always pushing me to try to be more confident...

[And now she's in a pod, with visible damage still on her, even if it's better than it was a couple of weeks ago.]

I'll do my best to help where I can.

[sweetwater]

You wouldn't have to talk to many people as the Guard. Guards are quiet.

[ but who is Cheryl to say? she doesn't even have a job. ]

[kaleorbekaled]

B-but don't you have to sound authoritative and tough when you do talk?

[Because she kind of fails at that. Miserably.]

[sweetwater]

If you say nothing and stare at them instead, it might be more intimidating.

[kaleorbekaled]

[She takes that into consideration. Maybe she could do that if she really tries. She makes a serious face.]

Like this?

[sweetwater]

[ Cheryl nods. ] Like that. Now, trying thinking murder as if you could kill someone with a look.

[kaleorbekaled]

[Kale doesn't want to kill anyone, but there's sure some people who used to put her down and call her pathetic that she'd like to punch. She manages a pretty intense scowl.]

How's this?

[sweetwater]

[ Cheryl grins. ] Perfect! I knew you could do it.

[kaleorbekaled]

[The scowl fades in an instant, replaced with a smile. A little encouragement goes a long way with this one.]

I'm Kale, by the way. It's nice to meet you, miss.

[sweetwater]

Charmed, I'm sure. I'm Cheryl. [ here to help you with all you resting bitch face needs. ]

(ooc: Sorry for the delay! I was on vacation)

Did you know someone who did guard work before, Cheryl?

[sweetwater]

At home? No, but I know a little something about being intimidating.
