[video] Enter the snotty little brat

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[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?

[Oh, look, here's another little girl with mismatched eyes.]

Umm... you, I guess? Are you new here?

I dunno, seems like some kid who can't climb worth shit. [She laughs.]

[The attitude drops... slightly. Laura is slightly more cool with kids than adults.]

Who wants to know?

Re: [video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[what] Yeah, right, like you can do any better.

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

Sure can. [Reno happens to be standing outside the apartment building, smoking. Not because she cares about smoking inside--she just got bored of being inside.

She's the best at climbing. Without removing the cigarette from her mouth, she turns and scales the side of the building rapidly, in spite of the fact that there don't seem to be any significant handholds that would aid someone in such an endeavor. She scurries up, then once she feels she's illustrated her point, she starts back, moving just as quickly--but it's more fun to just jump the rest of the way down, so she does, landing easily on the ground below.

This done, Reno leans back against the wall and takes another drag on her cigarette.]

Your kinda mouthy for a kid, ain't cha?

[A young teenage girl looks back in light surprise at the question, but looks mostly concerned over how young this girl seems to be.]

Oh, I'm sorry if I surprised you. Are you new to here?

Re: [video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[OK you have her respect now. Not that this changes her tone of voice.] I guess you're okay...

You know that's bad for you, right?

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

So what if I am? You gonna yell at me?

Re: [video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[Hikari is old enough to fall under the heading of "adult." At least for an eight-year-old. Thus, SUSPICION and SNEERING.]

So what if I am?

[video]

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

[Oh, kids. So young and so dumb. Reno snorts.]

Who cares? Y'ever notice that the stuff that's the most fun to do is the same as the stuff that's "bad" for you?

Re: [video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[You are getting awesomer and awesomer] Yeah.

I'm Laura. What's your name?

Re: [Video]

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

My name's Vivio.

Re: [Video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

I'm Laura.

um... where are we?

[video]

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

[She takes another drag before answering.] Name's Reno.

Anyway, you don't gotta worry about that here. There's nobody in charge, so nobody can tell you what to do.

Re: [video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[OMG so awesome]

What about the Queen? Doesn't she chop off people's heads? Or boss people around?

[PLEASE SAY SHE CHOPS OFF HEADS THAT WOULD BE SO COOL YOU HAVE NO IDEA]

[video]

[tasercopter.livejournal.com]

[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.

Re: [video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[whoooooa]

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

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

Re: [Video]

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

We're in a place called the Gardens.

[body-horrible.livejournal.com]

Nah, I don't think it would get through that brick wall you call a skull.

Re: [Video]

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

Duh, I know how to read. What's the deal here?

[runawayalot.livejournal.com]

[As far as she's concerned, she's won because of that.] So why'd you say anything?

[body-horrible.livejournal.com]

Well, I figured it took a few years for girls to get bitchy. But, thanks for proving me wrong.

Re: [Video]

[uberlikehermama.livejournal.com]

We're not really sure. All we know is that the Queen brought us here for some reason...

[nohorsingaround.livejournal.com]

I believe I am looking at an exceptionally small human who appears to have hardly transitioned from her status as a wiggler.

[Though her manner of speech more than likely comes across as very arrogant, she's not actually intending it to be. For once. It's just natural.]
