[Video: early morning]

[greenisthenewblack]

[Sheila's in a bathrobe, looking rather more disheveled and irate than... most people on the network have seen her before. If they've seen her at all. This is, after all, her first video.]

[She'd be more concerned about her appearance if both hands weren't, y'know. Glowing. Glowing green, in fact, with a few black flecks. She gives a deep, exasperated sigh.]

Great. Now I glow.

Other people blast things, or get cyborg implants, or super-strength.

I fucking glow.

Scare them into doing their homework? They don't know it's just a shadow puppet.

[greenisthenewblack]

Hm. It is a plan. I'll consider it.

[seishindairingun]

Er, that's... assuming that's what the glow is for? [She was just joking before, but maybe that was a serious suggestion?]

By the way... I don't think I ever got your name?

[greenisthenewblack]

Damned if I know what it's for, 'cept being obnoxious. Just gotta laugh or I'll go nuts.

Sheila Go. Yours?

[seishindairingun]

I'm Inga. Nice to meet you.

[greenisthenewblack]

You know, you sound kinda familiar, Inga. Have we met?

[seishindairingun]

Sort of....

[Should probably go with the truth.] We met once. I tripped on something at the time.

[greenisthenewblack]

Oh. Riiiight. Coffee lady.

You always that good at keeping secrets, or was that day special?

[seishindairingun]

Secre...?[Oh, the Number thing?]

I'd just found out about it! [And she was pretty embarrassed, but no point in bringing that up now.] I hadn't met anyone from it before. It might still have been a joke.
