[video] Enter the snotty little brat

[Contacting other people on the Vine? Asking for help? That is a loser thing that only losers do! Which is why the New Kid here has elected to wander off and occupy herself in making a flower crown and then exploring. She's scaling a statue in the memorial garden when the Vine, annoyed at the neglect, starts broadcasting. There are a few moments of unexciting and self-absorbed childhood innocence before she notices that she's on candid camera, at which point her expression darkens with annoyance.]

What're you lookin' at?

[Reno hasn't seen much of the Queen and is not the Gardens' biggest expert on the subject, but that doesn't stop her from answering the question with confidence.]

She does mess people up, but only if you kill things, I guess. I saw one girl get cut to ribbons by some monsters. The Queen'd probably chop off your head if you chopped off somebody else's.

[whoooooa]

...I guess I won't do that, then. Not unless I really feel like it.

[Laura: could totally perform decapitations! For reals!]

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been cutting back too, for the time being.

[She laughs. It's not that magic killer kids are completely outside the realm of her experience, but so far this kid seems pretty normal to her.]

Re: [video]

So where are the monsters? Do they just jump out and eat people?

[Laura is strangely cheerful about these monsters. Possibly because she does not actually accept their reality, at least as it pertains to her.]

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

It depends. Sometimes. [Reno has a similar feeling about the monsters, discussing them rather casually. They haven't caused her any problems, so they don't matter much to her.] The Queen changes shit around whenever she feels like it, so they could be anywhere.

You just said a bad word! [Zounds!]

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah, I did.

You oughta try it. It's fun. [Though not particularly interested in kids, Reno's bored enough to keep talking, and kids cursing is kinda funny.]

I get yelled at if I do it. [Totally not fair!]

Re: 2/2

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

Uh, in case you missed the memo and forgot what I just said, there's nobody to yell at you here.

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[Someone might still yell at her, though! So she checks around before dropping the F-bomb]





Fartface!

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

Good one, kid. [Reno rolls her eyes. She was way cooler as a kid. Not that she expects other kids to be as awesome as she was, because you can't match perfection.]

You keep that up.

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

I guess I need practice, right?

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you need to say as many bad words as possible, as much as possible.

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

...it'll be okay here?
