[Why are things floating.

Libby sits (this time on a table in the kitchens--chairs exist, girl, why are you like this) and she is surrounded by slowly drifting utensils.

She's already figured out how to lie about it. She never told anyone she wasn't telekinetic. (Because who does that?). So she'll just say they made her like this, and Jesse's secret will be protected while Libby gets to show off--because this is wicked sharp, and even makes her confident enough to roll up her sleeves, baring scars and soft white feathers.

She grins at the camera, which she turned on with her mind.]

'Sup, bitches.

[She's not opening this up to the network for any reason. Can't a girl just be bored?]



[What she sends to her--crew, that's what she calls them. Her crew, like she's some fucking gangbanging idiot.

But they're not her friends, and allies sounds so formal. So crew it is. (She knows that Jesse is a surprisingly good hugger, that Mouse has a sweet smile, that Nikolai doesn't want to be called Nik. She has to be careful, here, because if she's not--she's going to end up wanting to keep them around. She'll actually like them, and then where will she be?)

(It's already over.)

What she sends them is different. Still things floating, still on a table, but she looks serious for once.]

'Kay.

Status reports, if you got 'em. And I got one.

So--we're Jesse, Mouse, and Nikolai, right now. And me, obvious. Jesse, Mouse, Nikolai is going to be our protection around here.

But that's complicated, because--I've got in with Loki, too, and he is--wicked dangerous. But I want what he's got. And he can be useful. But I'll handle him, 'kay? He doesn't know you, just me, and--look what I can do.

[She waves her hand around and smiles, briefly, before--serious, again.]

I'll drop him when we can't use him anymore. Promise. But stay the fuck away from him, he's bad fucking news.

[assumed]

Oh shit.

Those ain't piercings, huh?

[ The feathers. ]

[ Video ]

[amethysts]

What, my arms?

Nah. Real feathers. Real monster.

[Libby is proud of this--she had a choice not to be, but no, she owns this. Owns herself.]

[voice]

[jurisimpudent]

Is there a...reason you are showing that to us?

[voice]

[amethysts]

Because it's wicked rad.

[Duh, buddy.]

[twentythree]

[Oh. Well that's fantastic.]

Hello.

[amethysts]

[SO GREAT, RIGHT?]

Hey.

[More little girls.

Libby is going to have to remember to talk to Nikolai about that. This is not acceptable.]

[birdhousesoul]

[Anders is ... well, not exactly blasé, but he doesn't look hugely impressed. Mildly interested, maybe.]

Huh. That's an application of force magic I haven't seen before.

video

[amethysts]

Eh, not magic. Telekinesis. But--whatev.

[She waves a hand in dismissal and--oops, there goes a spoon.]

It's uh--

[Fuck. She can't say a work in progress. She has to master this soon or people might catch on that she's lying about where it comes from. Not acceptable.]

Twisty. Sometimes.

[shoyu]

[ after a moment of curious staring: ]

Good afternoon, m'lady.

[amethysts]

I'm not your lady.

[tumbleweeds]

Sweet feathers.

[amethysts]

[Twice in one day. What the fuck is going on.]

Thanks. They're sort of a bitch sometimes, though.

[She picks at one. Pinion. She can't fly, what a fucking joke.]

[theredchampion]

[ Oh, how charming. In his mind, she appears to be some kind of harpy.

Perhaps that suits her, an agent of punishment.

Harpies are also really quite irritating sometimes, too. ]

I know what the caged bird feels.

That doesn't appear to be enough plumage to be of any benefit, mind.

Text;

[amethysts]

[Her best friend!

IE the guy who mocked. Funny that she taunts someone else about being touchy elsewhere.

She never claimed not to be a hypocrite.]

Lol

you want more already?

and yeah

[ Mouse waves, his face scrunched up as if to silently ask wtf is going on, but still he manages to smile for her just before the video cuts out. ]

HI LIBBY HI.

( V IDEO + T E X T | libby's encryption | LIBBY ONLY )

[amethysts]

[Libby grins back, eagerly. She wanted to see him maybe most of all--Mouse is here because he's like her in ways Nikolai and Jesse aren't. Syg is, too, so that's good. More comfortable. And he makes her--just happier, he's fun.]

HI MOUSE HI
M
how's tricks

i also have many status updates

[ringbearer]

..Bitches?
[ frodo..doesn't know what that is. so he'll just raise an eyebrow and stare at her like she's kind of crazy. ]

[amethysts]

[Why does a spaceship have so many cosplayers.

She knows that's not what they are, but she refuses to acknowledge that.]

You know. People.

voice, libby's encryption;

[justthedriver]

Devotshka. [ A little sharply. ] Tell me everything you ever said to Loki.

[ He can take care of himself, and he thinks- it's a little too late. Loki likes him. And he likes that guy too. ]

voice, libby's encryption;

[amethysts]

[Libby wants to tell him about her brilliant plan to get him cigarettes. She wants to talk about a new partner. She wants to show him the finished lighter. (Look at me, I did it, are you proud of me--childish. But she's a child.)

Still. She looks a little crumpled, for a second. He's not happy and while she gets why--she wants him to respect her. See what she can do. But after, she'll show him.]

Not much. We don't talk much. Uh, he knows I run with Jesse and Mouse. Not about you, though, and we probably shouldn't tell him. I know you guys talk--I mean, I'm not worried about you, though. That was for the other guys.

But the encryption I gave him--I can hack it, I built a backdoor in it. So I know more than him.

[To her, that means she's winning. Thousand year god, and Libby thinks she can handle him by herself.]

Video

[bottlearum]

Y'got feathers on yer skin, luv.

[Y'know. Just in case you didn't notice.]

An' there's also...

[He waves a hand in the air.]

Stuff. Floatin' around you.

[Again. In case you didn't notice.]

Video

[amethysts]

[Duh.

But it's funny, so she laughs.]

I have superpowers.

Kind of a supervillain, actually.

[]Not a hero. But oh, Libby. You don't understand. But you will, and regret this joke.

[ video | same filter ]

[hostage]

[Quietly freaked out about her showing off her power like that, but he's not the boss of her, so he won't say anything about it.]

What's so dangerous about him?

[ video | same filter ]

[amethysts]

[Did he ever think she wasn't going to be stupid with it?

Meanwhile, she's grinning, because everyone is here and it's Jesse, who gave her the best thing ever in history.]

I can fucking fly, buddy!

[Since this is the important thing to convey first. She can fly, he did this, she is so happy--really happy, like hacking happy.]

And he's got--wicked superpowers. And magic. And he's sneaky as fuck so it's better to not even talk to him.

I got a hot girl for the crew, btw.

video // because they had to meet

[welding]

Well shit.

[Contributing like a baws.]

video // f is for friends who do stuff together

[amethysts]

Wicked sharp, serious.

[Fine contribution for her!]

[video]

[fuckinghysterical]

[This woman just kind of stares a while, fascinated. The telekinesis part doesn't even faze her, however; she had a unitmate that could move people, so that wasn't too new to her. The feather thing, however, was something different.]

So what the hell are you? Eheh? A harpy?

[She was on a goddamned spaceship; she was about ready to believe anything at this point.]

[video]

[amethysts]

[Let her stare. Libby invites attention, demands it--look what she's doing now. That's not a girl who minds staring. She grins, cocky and bright.

It's good to be recognized.]

Nah. Close, though, but I'm a one of a kind monster.

So what the hell are you? Some kind of human?

( video )

[cheerioless]

[ are those ...feathers? ]

Nice trick.

( video )

[amethysts]

[Feathers like a boss.]

Thanks. Gonna use it to wreck thus place, be rad. Fuck bitches, take names.

[Besides the feathers, the hair dye, piercings and all--they look a lot alike. Libby notices that.]

[voice]

[doggedly]

Are we meant to applaud?

[voice]

[amethysts]

[Jeez do all the jerks use voice here. What is that.]

I'm not stopping you.

Video; fail encryption

[pizzalord]

[Harry's pinged almost immediately by someone demonstrating what looks like magic to him. His expression is serious, but not deadly so, piqued by curiosity.]

Where'd you learn something like that?

Video;100% she has to do everything

[amethysts]

I didn't learn it. I was born with it. Showed up a while back.

[ripstides]

[ daughter of Zeus crosses his mind (right) because the air is their domain but then he remembers there's already one of those and while there might be some similarities Thalia can dig in her appearance, she's not her. but she looks-

if it weren't for all the piercings and the hair and the language (and the wings, he notices the wings--he's assuming that's what feathers imply)

she'd look similar to someone else he knows. eerily similar. and that's why he's here, responding to familiarity. ] Definitely the coolest thing I've seen all week.

[amethysts]

[This is what she wants. Coolest, raddest, whatever--look at her and don't have the first thing you mention be feathers, good or bad. Just on what she can do and not what she is, which is a trick of a test. But to her, fair seeming. Tell what matters: monster or movement.

People kept asking about the fucking feathers. He might, for not doing it right away he passed.]

I know, wicked rad, serious. Wicked rad--I can fly.

[...that's a big deal.]
