[ The screen flickers, and a girl of about 11 with long brown hair and eyes that seem to stare right into the heart of you appear. Despite the communication device visual, it's apparent she's a little different then most little girls. Maybe it's the way she bridges her fingertips,  or how she purses her lips before speaking. ]

 All of this communication babbling has to stop. You're doing nothing by clouding the waves.

[ She extends three fingers ]

 We're all here against our will, as far as I know. [ Two fingers remain ]

 The conclusion is that it's something other than us. [One finger ] And we're certainly from different places, if my talk with Elizaveta is anything to go by. There's no crew. Just us and our uniforms that are strangely accurate in size. 

 So here's the open ended question, folks: Who are we trusting enough to lead us for the time being?

OOC: And bedtime for me! i'll tag everyone as soooon as I wake up, I promise! I just was way too excited for this comm to open.

_{[ he grits his teeth, ohhooo no you don't hungary. you don't mess with the heroic complex. ]}

Come onnnn, come on, come on, oh God. I'm in hell if I don't do this I need this more than anything. I need this position. Oh my God.

I was BORN AND RAISED TO LEAD.

I'M ON THE RIGHT TRACK, BABY I WAS BORN THIS WAY...

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

Fuck. Off. I am not being lead by an idiotic blond child who has to be involved with every little single thing. I am so sick of you getting involved in shit that doesn't deal with you in the slightest.

[starstripedhero.livejournal.com]

Why don't you get back in the kitchen where you RIGHTFULLY BELONG.. or something. YEAH.

No, no, whatever, dudette. Okay. With me leading, it'll get us home safely, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

ALL WE NEED IS FUCKING DUCT TAPE, MAN. THAT'S HOW I FIXED THE HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER WHICH REAAAAAAALLY WASN'T MY FAULT; I'M TIRED OF BEING BLAMED FOR SHIT.

Look, okay. It's easy. Highjack the crew, kick their asses, jump drive us back to America, go to Disneyworld. That's how shit should go down.

_{[ he didn't hear that part about no crew, but... ]}

Dude. I've got this. So YOU sit down, okay? Alright? I'm the hero! Haha!

[Video]

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

Except you missed the part where there's only two members of the crew and that's not going to work by any means.

And if you want to be the "leader" of us, then you're going to have to get through me first. And I sincerely doubt a stupid little child of England's is going to be able to deal with me by any means. Hand-to-hand.

[starstripedhero.livejournal.com]

Only two members? Piece of cake. I'm got a Baretta 9mm semiautomatic. That's the gun James Bond has, F.Y.I.

Get through you? Easy. I'm a fucking superpower, I do what I want, babe. And that is leading these people home and getting all the glory.

First off, okay. Look, if you wanna help, awesome. Cool. I'm down with that. Assist. You can be my support; be happy I'm gracing you with that.
Secondly, I'm noooooot a child. Hold the phone. I'm independent. Yeah, I grew up fast, but I'm strong. Check out my military.

_{[ cue some flexing here. ]}

THIRDLY, you're nowhere near Superman. I'm totally like Superman; strength to lift cars and shit, so don't act like you know what's going on. I'm prepared for anything; whether these dudes be Commies or Nazis or zombies or some bastardized mixture of it all, I can DO this. ★★★★

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

It means that this ship can't be functional with just two people. Good lord, do you honestly listen to anything that's said? Or do you only listen for key phrases that involve you in some way? It's disgusting.

And if you ever call me babe again, I'll break your hands. Understood?

No, what it means is that you have no experience for this type of shit. Just because you had back-up in the second World War doesn't mean that you can do anything by yourself. I've fought wars by myself that were thousands of times more difficult and dangerous than what you've dealt with. I also have a thousand years over you and more experience in any of this than you do. Quite frankly, you can deal with the space travel, fine. But I get to lead.

Superman is a fictional character, please shut up.

[starstripedhero.livejournal.com]

RIGHT LIKE I SAID, THIS SHIP CANNOT FUNCTION WITH TWO PEOPLE. That's where you come in! And Austria, he'll be useful for something, somehow----!

I have total experience with this stuff like you don't even know. Instead of doing my paperwork, I play video games, hello. Video games that put me in these types of scenarios like Dead Space or Silent Hill. I know how to lead in these kind of situations! Hahaaa! Leave it to me!

_{[ Then, a serious tone: ]}

Dude. He's a fictional inspiration and gives meaning to life for American children across the states, so no dissing, got it? He's the reason some still stay in school, okay.

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

...What is happening?

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

Ahh, Chase~ This would be the idiot I warned you about.

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

This is....interesting.

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

He's been like this ever since I can remember, a spoiled little brat who thinks he can control everything. And he's the youngest of all of us, so it's even more obnoxious.

[voice]

[wiener-bonbons.livejournal.com]

[Voice because he doesn't want to look at the screen, okay.]

O-on the bright side, he did uh... help me escape, ah... y-your situation. P-politically speaking. Although I... don't quite remember him being this rambunctious; I'm... starting to believe this thing about different times.

[Whispering, earnestly.] ... Did his IQ drop?

[starstripedhero.livejournal.com]

DUDE, AUSTRIA.
It's true; people are taken from other time periods! I met a woman from the future; she said there are colonies on the moon! I also met James Kirk from Star Trek, he totally exists!!

You know what this means--!? Time travel, it's possible! It EXISTS. I'm going to find out how and take the information back home!

Don't you worry, man. I'll let you be my back up too with this.

[video now.]

[wiener-bonbons.livejournal.com]

[Wait.]

... Back up with what? You just... essentially took away my ability to do anything as far as leadership or much of a personal say is concerned. Not that I'm complaining. [Absolute sincerity there, too.] But even if we're not on earth, I intend to stay true to my new neutrality.

[Looking off to the side, he puts the communicator down before sitting back.] Ja, you two can have it out; I'm done.

[deserves an encore doesn't he]

[starstripedhero.livejournal.com]

What's happening--!?

Hey! ...
...
Oh wow. You are kind of young, aren't you? That's okay! I'll protect you if you need it!
What is happening is epic awesomeness. I'm going to be your leader, you get it? I'm experienced with this stuff.

[ video ]

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

I assure you, I'm not in need of protecting. The offer's appreciated, though.

[ A pause because okay, America's excitement is kind of catchy ]

Just.. how experienced are you?

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

It means killing the two remaining people on this ship is a stupid idea and even stupider when you take into account that none of us know how this ship actually works and getting rid of the two who do is asking for the death of us all.

... Video games. Those do no count, you moron.



Nice to know your educational system is so poor that you have to have a fictional hero to keep them there. Pathetic, you know~

[starstripedhero.livejournal.com]

I know what you're doing. You're being all I have rights as a woman to be all sassy and etc, etc--- and use your seductive sounding words of a WOMAN to weaken me and my ego. Or something.

They absolutely totally count. They're scientifically proven to enhance hand-eye coordination. Like you even know jack shit about it; you're from some period where they didn't exist, so don't give me that.

I know what I'm talking about.

We can hold them hostage and demand they take us home by gunpoint. Totes Jack Bauer style. That's where the duct tape comes in.

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

Sweetheart, I wouldn't be seductive towards you if my life counted on it, trust me. I don't need someone like you going around trying to "protect me" or something as stupid as that. I'm older than you, more experienced than you, and more mature than you will ever be. So quite frankly? Shove it up that ass of your's.

And no, no they do not~ Practicality comes in the form of actual experience, not simulations.



And I don't need you waving your dick in my face like you're trying to, because even though I lack one... That "pansy" ex-husband of mine has a bigger dick than you do.

[... Honestly didn't think that was still on her mind. What a graceful way to break it to him, excellent job.]

... That was incredibly uncalled for. Don't give me that look.

[hagyjbeken.livejournal.com]

What look? I'm merely amused, that's all. Ah, weren't you going to meet me somewhere before I got into this argument with that stupid child?
