Hah! Hah! Fuck all of you assholes with your stupid dumb fancypants power shit. Fuck you! Because I have a real superpower now. The best and most useful and cool and impressive one and you are all going to feel sorry for ever thinking my abilities were lame!

[ With a triumphant nyaaahh, Octavia sticks her tongue out at her phone and then turns it towards the TV. It's tuned in to one of those 24-hour live shopping channel broadcasts - a female presenter is currently hawking overpriced fake jewellery to the viewers. ]

"...And this beautiful piece can be yours for only three hundred dollars! But even if you wear this overpriced piece of shit, you won't be as hot as Octavia."

[ While uttering her slightly-suspect words, the presenter has an unsettlingly slack look to her limbs and a completely vacant expression. It's creepy as hell. After she's done speaking she claps her hands over her mouth in surprise, and Octavia turns the phone back towards her own grinning face. ]

Haha! See? I toooooooold youuuuuuuu! I can make anybody do anything I want any time I want to and it is going to be amazing.

[ She may be exaggerating just a teensy bit. (Permissions post is here!) ]

Maybe I can get rid of it before she can make me wear it.

[vetala]

It's possible. Though...

This is a public forum.

[wirsinddiejager]

...Shit.

[vetala]

This is also Octavia's post. So she is probably reading this.

[wirsinddiejager]

And you just had to bring up the costume. Thanks a bunch.

[vetala]

Your life is about to get very difficult. And entertaining. For me, I mean. Considering I watch Drama Club meetings for fun, this should come as no surprise.

Of course, you could just give me the money to reimburse her for the costume and then I won't be obligated to part with it.

[Is she being evil? Is she being kind? Is she some kind of mastermind? Who knows. It's Kanti Singh.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Alan's life is pain. Pain and suffering and misery.]

...How much do you want?

[vetala]

It's not how much I want. It's how much she paid me for your costume.

[Insert Price (that is actually pretty reasonable for a costume but actually still pretty expensive for the average teenager because it is custom made you know) Here.]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Yeah that is way more than Alan can afford.]

I don't really. Have that much on me right now.

[vetala]

Then you will simply have to put up with it. Stay strong, Alan. Stay strong.

[wirsinddiejager]

How am I supposed to stay strong in spandex?!

[vetala]

I wouldn't know, I don't wear it. When I find a way, I'll be sure to let you know.

[wirsinddiejager]

Oh, so she's not making you wear it?

[vetala]

Of course not. Octavia cannot make me do anything. I didn't make one in my size, and if I was stupid enough to go running around in a costume specifically so people would not know my identity, I would choose less obvious colors.

Think less like a hero and more like a rogue.

[drama8om8]

Hey! You are so lucky Alan is a poor scrub because I swear to fuck I could sue you for like. Breaching a. Verbal contract? I saw it on Judge Judy.

[vetala]

You do realize that Judge Judy is not the be-all-end-all for the judicial process, correct?
Besides, we're not supposed to be getting involved with the police or anything remotely related to the consequences of breaking the law. If you think I won't simply reimburse you myself and set these on fire at the possibility you would get the cops involved? You are sorely mistaken.

[drama8om8]

I am pretty sure that anything you can't learn about law from watching Judge Judy when you should be doing math homework isn't worth learning. And you wouldn't do that! Right? I mean that would be. Hells of unprofessional.

Did you do capes.

[vetala]

And this is why you'll never be a lawyer.
[Kanaya offers a laugh, which is scary because it's really genuine for the subject matter.] You're really underestimating me here.

No Capes. [In the champagne room. Or anywhere else for that matter.]

[drama8om8]

Give me my unburnificated costumes and I will make my own capes.

[vetala]

No, because your capes will clash and you probably couldn't even get them to drape correctly.
