[Thankfully you can't see anything below bare shoulders this time, but here's Juliana, hair oddly perfect and a beatific smile on her face.]

After that... [SHUDDER.] terribly ominous happening--by the way, those of you who didn't tell me this place was horrible, shame on you--I have something much more important to discuss. It's been clear that none of you know what to do with a goddess in your midst. It's quite simple. Respect.

[She points at the viewer.] I can't watch every one of you, but I trust that you're all working hard for the good of everyone, aren't you?

[A smile, then she looks confused.] That wasn't my point. My point... My... point...

Oh, yes! My point. I'm told there are "hobos" aboard. I'd like to meet one, for comparative purposes. Assistance is appreciated. New experiences are wonderful, aren't they?

[ooc; I will be slow Friday through Sunday, but will try to intermittently tag back in the evenings.]

Goddess?

Yes, that's right.

An entire colony. A planet, before that.

Salutations again madame!
Im a bit perplexed by your talk do you mind elaborating a little?
Are you referring to people with out homes or something else when you use that term?

Hello again. How nice of you to remember me.

I understand there are criteria. I had assumed it was just the presence of a beard of some sort, but I was corrected. Vagrancy seems to be a necessary quality as well.

[kringlefuck]

I had a home but most of it isnt there anymore besides my room globe so i guess i dont quite fit the criteria considering i spent most of my days cooped up in there. However i did have to survive on my own with nobody else.

I could grow a beard if i tried though!

[rubblegoddess]

I would appreciate help with this, so if you would kindly grow a beard and let me interview you, that would be wonderful.

Comparative purposes?

What for? Are you looking to relocate -- or, un-locate? [That's an actual phrase, right? Un-locate. Yeah.]

[video]

[rubblegoddess]

[HALO THAR have a smile.]

I don't know if there were people like that on my planet. I'd like to find out. It's slang, evidently, or some kind of foreign word from a language I haven't studied.

But no, I like my location.

[video]

[circumitus]

Understood.

There are other words for it. Homeless, vagrant, bum, nomad, vagabond, drifter, hippy. [MAYBE not that last one so much.] My father was one for a time, saying it was part of a belief he had adopted.

[video]

[rubblegoddess]

Oh, it's a belief system, too?

[She practically lights up. Not a feat for a former AI.]

I had no idea. I think I have seen things like this, after all. Homeless... is so tragic.

[He's just staring at this because what in the ever loving heck...]

Juliana, even I know you can't ask people if they're a hobo.

[rubblegoddess]

Why not? It isn't rude. It's a way of life.

[WINK.]

[okayokay]

[Said exactly as it is in the Aretha Franklin classic song...]

R-E-S-P-E-C-T?

[Oh, there is such a grin]

You want them to find out what it means to...thee?

[rubblegoddess]

[All smiles, here. How enjoyable!]

Yes, I do. I have a very high opinion of myself, and I'd appreciate if others respected that.

[lacksgrace]

Just because you say you deserve respect doesn't mean anyone's gonna give it to you.

video;

[rubblegoddess]

[Ice cold; does she look like she cares?]

How tragic.

video;

[lacksgrace]

With that attitude? Yeah, I'd say so. [ Someone's a little testy today. ]

video;

[rubblegoddess]

Oh? I'm kind and benevolent. Why wouldn't anyone like that?

video;

[showbizpanache]

Aren't we all technically hobos? I mean, no one actually lives here...

[rubblegoddess]

......[She looks very, very, very thoughtful.]

You may have a point. Could you explain further? I understood beards are part of the criteria. Was I misinformed?

A goddess typically must do something to earn respect.

voice »

[rubblegoddess]

Being a goddess is earned. In order to become one, I must have done something very great, or something very much above what any human could do.

[adlered]

Wrong. That would at best make you an immortal hero, but I give you points for originality. Most goddesses are born and that requires doing not a single great act.
