007 - Video

[The video comes on to show a red-head, irritated and staring up at what looks like an overhanging sign in front of a shop door. The walls of the brick building are covered in vines, vine as far as the eye can see. They don't actually lead into the building, since she keeps the windows boarded up, but there's a lush sort of wildgrowth that covers every inch of the visible world.

She turns towards the camera angle and growls, making a twitching face of irritation.]

Ok, could all the folks in Sigyn please not use this week as their chance to practice their powers? Enough already with the plants! This is getting just a little ridiculous here, and I'm thinking of changing the name "Pinch of Sage" to "Heart of the Amazon."

Anyone got any weed killer, or at the very least, any idea how to stop this little prank from getting more out of hand than it already is?

Yeah, definitely coordinating with the healers and storing up as much of this as I possibly can so we've got plenty to work with. I fully expect we'll need everything we can get.

Yes, I trust you'll keep a good stock of these plants. When that time comes...I'll work as hard as I can to make sure everything is running smoothly.

Yeah, in the meantime, all we need's a good machete and for this crap to stop growing finally. It's definitely not helping organizing efforts.

There must be a lawnmower somewhere...or some other kind of device. [ a chainsaw?? but that's far too violent, nonono ]

Damn. Too bad Kanaya's gone. She had that lipstick chainsaw thing...

Did I seriously just suggest that?

[Yep. She'd go ahead and suggested it.]

[ Stare. ]

Lipstick...chainsaw? That...existed here? [ What even. ]

...

Trolls are weird. She had a tube of lipstick that turned into a chainsaw. I saw her trimming bushes with it back on Arbor Day. With them, it's best just to sort of nod and let it go.

Trolls...

Are they the grey people I've seen around? I talked to one on the network a while back.

Yep. They come in all styles, but they're all pretty much gray-skinned. Kind of violent too, except for a couple of them.

Violent? I didn't get that impression...that person was just a little unfamiliar with things.

If it was Feferi or Tavros, they're the nice ones. Not a violent bone in their bodies, especially Tavros. The others all have a real violent streak. You should see Eridan when he gets pissed off. [She shuddered a little and actually blushed, glancing away.] Gamzee just bashed me over the head one time, though I admit I kind of egged him on.

Oh dear. I hope it wasn't too serious.

The one I talked to...he had glasses, and a streak in his hair. Was he the one who hit you?

[She colored again and, when she grinned, her fangs were visible. A giggle built in her throat and she looked over at the screen again.]

No, no. That's Eridan. He and I... heh, let's just say he's pretty violent too. Fin-face is just more cunning about it. Those teeth of his are really sharp, I promise.

[Rule of thumb, probably not the best idea to ask why she was giggling and blushing as she said this.]

[ She notices, but of course she'd never ask. Even if it were her best friend, she wouldn't ask! ]

Maybe I was lucky, then. He seemed nice to me.

Heh, I actually like that side about him. Maybe we're both lucky. You just get his cheesy, goofy silly side. Me? Well, we get to play around with our toys and get some aggression out.

Ah...haha... [ not sure if sincere laugh

BUT ANYWAY ] Then here's to being lucky.

Here's to it. I can't remember. Did I ever get your name before now? I think we talked before, but this place is so crazy sometimes.

I don't know. Hmm. But I'm Jasmine, nice to meet you anyway. Again, I think.

Wait...were you... [ She thinks she can remember it from somewhere. ] Samantha Grey?

Yeah, I'm almost sure it's again. And yep, it's Samantha. Hope the reason you remember that's a good one, but that's always a bit of a crapshoot with me.

No, I'm sure it's good. It was during the time that illness was sweeping the city... [ She goes quiet again, not really wanting to remember it. ]

Ok, there wasn't too much bad for me right about then, aside from some sleepless nights. We have a way of running into each other at odd times, don't we?

That seems to be a recurring theme around here. Odd meetings, that is.

Maybe that's part of why I put up with them so easily. They just don't feel normal, so it's hard to react the way I usually do. Still, it's not all bad. The people haven't been bad [mostly].

I find that most people here tend to get along. There are a few...misunderstandings occasionally, but that's my experience.

Depends a little on the people, but most of them sure seem to try to. Doesn't always work that well.
