video - OTA

[memories_of_me]

[The image opened on a young woman sitting in her new apartment. She sat in her chair as though it were a throne, her posture perfect. Her hair was pulled back into a tight french braid that allowed not a strand to escape.]

[At odds with the the neat severity of the braid and her posture was that said braid terminated in a large black and silver scrunchie. She wore a black silk skirt with thin silver and gold threads and silver buttons etched with circular script. The rest of what she was wearing could not be seen in frame, save for the top of one knee, as her legs were crossed. The top of that knee was clad in something black with a single silver spot. That spot would be slowly fading during the video, but not fully gone by the end.]

"I have been informed that I am to make you all aware of my presence. Very well. I have done that. Let me additionally make you all aware of one more thing," [she said, her voice smooth and even and uninflected.]

"That one thing is this. I do not want to be your friend, your girl friend, your confidant, or even your enemy. I do not wish to interact with anyone more than absolutely and utterly necessary, and as I can provide for myself, no contact is actually necessary. So for those of you who need it spelled out, here it is. I am Me, and I wish to be left alone. Those who try to force their company upon me shall regret it."

[She lowered her brows, and glared slightly at the phone.]

"This video does not require any replies, if you wish to acknowledge you have seen it and understand, do so by leaving Me alone."

[The screen cut to black even though she did not get up or give a voice command to the phone, and her hands - in view the whole time - were still.]


(OOC: I am sorry she is such a jerk, hope you like her anyway!)

Sounds like you need some ice cream. Coldstone delivers.

Word to the wise. I'd steer clear of the roof, the pet Avengers are on the loose.

[memories_of_me]

[She almost asked what... pet avengers... were but refrained. Because that would involve more conversation. She was sure she could learn all she needed to by stalking the network.]

"I have no need of delivery, or of conversation."

[If she wanted ice cream she could get ice cream, without the annoying human contact.]

[mija_matona]

You just didn't seem like you were from around here. You do you, then.

[memories_of_me]

"My impression was that most of us were... not from around here... as you put it. If that is all then we are done here?"

[still_worthy]

You presume much.

I agree with very little of my father's observations about the world, but in this case, I make an exception. Odin would have deemed this wanton attention seeking by a small person.

[memories_of_me]

"I am not interested in the observations of fake Gods. I have had my fill. For the next person try to at least be a little creative," she drawled. "Good bye."

[still_worthy]

It is okay little person, your belief is not required.

[memories_of_me]

"Good, because I have no belief in mayflies like you. Live your brief life, but do it without me in it."

[still_worthy]

Clearly, you need a nap.

[memories_of_me]

"I assure you, you know nothing of what I need, false one."

[still_worthy]

As my colleague, Princess Powerful says, you do you.

[memories_of_me]

"Princess... powerful..." [she scoffed.]

[still_worthy]

Petty and small. Adorable.

[memories_of_me]

"I am disgusted. Why are you still talking to me?"

[still_worthy]

The people of this tower did not ask for your presence, nevertheless, they have made you welcome, given you shelter and refuge. You bring shame on your ancestors with your petty digs at those who would welcome you.

Your opinion of me or belief in my identity is unimportant. Your contempt for others is disgusting.

Does this display of poor manners often achieve your goals?

[memories_of_me]

"I did not ask for shelter. Or welcome. I have no need of refuge. And since my goals are to be left alone, yes driving people away by being horrible does in fact aid in that." [With most people. Link remained annoyingly persistent.]

[still_worthy]

You did not ask for shelter and you were given it freely. If you do not understand that you needed refuge, I sincerely give you my condolences for your ignorance and hope that it does not bring you pain.

If you wish to be left alone, I give you leave to be silent. This will accomplish your goal without bringing shame upon yourself and your line.

[memories_of_me]

"My line died billions of years ago, I hardly am concerned about bringing shame it it. And I am capable of finding my own shelter. This is hardly the first time I have been in New York. Any New York."

[still_worthy]

Then you shame yourself with this infantile behavior.

Your continued presence indicates a need for something. You say you do not need shelter or refuge, and have been here in New York. So why do you stay where you are so clearly unhappy.

Perhaps you should take yourself from this place and go to somewhere more suitable to your needs.

[memories_of_me]

"Believe me, I intend to."

[still_worthy]

Then do so quickly with no more of your petty nonsense.

[memories_of_me]

"If someone would stop tying up my phone with needless replies, perhaps I could."

[still_worthy]

Your phone prevents you from leaving? Please explain. I am fascinated.

Odd that one so determined to be left alone, cannot help but continue to engage. You reminds me a bit like the All-Father, determined to appear aloof, while ever seeking attention.

Would you like help finding the door? FRIDAY gives good directions.

[memories_of_me]

"Phones are for research, genius."

[still_worthy]

It's not connected to the wall.... genius.

[memories_of_me]

"No but every time I try to connect to a search a reply from you pops up, moron."

[still_worthy]

Pro-tip: There is a way to prevent that.

I am flattered that you see a pop up from me as a command that must be attended to.

Please do go on.

[memories_of_me]

"More like the annoyance of a fly that will not stop hovering around your head."

[still_worthy]

Still haven't figured out the phone, I see.

It's okay. You can admit it. You like me.

I'm a likable guy.

Just don't get too familiar. I have a possessive girlfriend.

[memories_of_me]

"It has been a few million years since I have used such primitive tech, and if you are trying to make me feel pity for her, I assure you I have none to feel."

[still_worthy]

So you don't understand how to use the phone. Cool.

Speaking of primitive technology, you good on the potty? Because FRIDAY could probably find you a video.

Nah. No one needs to pity the Shield Maiden... but if you're having trouble feeling something, she'll wring it out of you. My Valkyrie is LEGENDARY on sakaar.....

[memories_of_me]

"Just... stop with the lying. It is beyond disgusting."

[still_worthy]

Where is the lie, Brunnmigi?

You have difficulty with the phone.

FRIDAY is able to provide videos tutorials.

Valkyrie is indeed legendary on Sakaar and elsewhere.

Do not slander me. It will not go well.

[memories_of_me]

"You. Are. Not. A. God. GO. AWAY."

[still_worthy]

You do not command me, nor anyone else in this realm.

I suggest you learn this well.

If you cannot be civil, be still.

[memories_of_me]

"I just did."

[still_worthy]

What did you do precisely?

Please enlighten.

Move out?

Learn civility, surely not, that would have involved an apology to Molly.

[memories_of_me]

"Command you. That you did not comply did not alter that fact."
