Video -|- un: nunya

[The video starts with a shot of the invitation that she'd received, the writing bold and clear before she tosses the invite down and directs the camera up to her face, which looks entirely unimpressed.]

Tell me I'm not the only one that feels like this is some lame attempt to gather certain people into a specific area for an unknown reason, aka, a fucking trap?

[Someone was feeling especially incapable of trusting anyone from this world or any of the Orbiters. She held up the ring she'd gotten, not wearing it, but showing it.]

And as far as some kind of... compensation for the shit some people went through, this feels pretty weak to me. An invite to a trap-party, a gold coin, and a pretty little bauble, because clearly I'm that easily distracted and easy to appease. They realize that people died during this, don't they? And we're all supposed to just slap a smile on, pull out a dress, and go along with this like this isn't a giant fucking joke?

[There was a look on her face like she was really, really hoping someone would be as salty as she was over this.]

Maybe it's just in my nature to think everyone's out to screw me over, but when I've already been screwed over, and not in the fun way, I'm not exactly feeling inclined to bend over for round two. There have to be other people that think this is shady shit...

[Please tell her there were other people out there that thought this was shady shit.]

[mostly muttered under his breath, because he's a CHILD] Your face is a frothing rabid mess.

[assholic]

What was that? I couldn't hear you with that dick in your mouth.

[beatupgrass]

I said... What exactly are you gonna do with your stupid award, anyway?

[Because he wants to know. And because you can only childishly taunt someone so many times.]

[assholic]

[But they were so good at it, and she kind of found it comfortable. Someone to bitch back and forth with. She wasn't entirely sure that if things went down, he'd have her back, but maybe he'd be more inclined to shoot someone coming at her than just let her get hit. Who knew?]

I don't know. It's a ring. I don't wear jewelry. Might keep the coin, though. I hear gold buys a lot.

[beatupgrass]

[what a wonderful relationship they are building here. mutual respect(??) and bitching.]

I could check out the ring to make sure there ain't anything sketchy about it. Give yourself and the other paranoid idiots some peace of mind.

[assholic]

[She hadn't actually thought about that. There might be magic, or some weird tech shit going on. Pulling it out, she looked at it, then shrugged.]

Sure. Why not?

[beatupgrass]

I'll even do it free, since Mantis has one of those things in our house. Consider yourself fortunate.

[assholic]

Wow. Is this the part where I fall on my knees with gratitude? Too bad, fur-face. You'll have to settle for beer and whatever's leftover in the fridge.

[beatupgrass]

Eh, I consider free beer sufficient reward for my altruism.

[assholic]

Lessens your altruism. But sure. You have my address.
