Go go power rangers!

[imnot_deedee]

You know this isn't going to work without teammates, like, at all. Even a little.

you know I'll be the last to admit it, keep people at a distance, but those idiots kind of grew on me a little.

Not to mention my mom is going to freak out if I go missing. But hey, maybe I'll get my face on a milk carton or something.

I've seen plenty of your teammates around here. Even without them, you're a Ranger. You'll always have teammates. [Even when you run away they'll always find you. Trust him. It's almost like his team has microchipped him.]

Face on a milk carton?

[imnot_deedee]

Yeah, it's a thing they used to do to find lost kids, put their picture and stats on a milk carton. They don't do that where you're from? I mean, don't actually think they do it anymore where I'm from, either, it's just a saying.

[killedzordon]

They definitely don't have 'milk cartons' on KO-35. Or milk.

Might have been useful, actually....

[imnot_deedee]

Wait wait, back up, what?

[killedzordon]

.......What part of that were you confused about?

[imnot_deedee]

Um, yeah, I'm going to have to go with 'all of it'? You're seriously trying to tell me you're not from Earth? That you're from someplace that doesn't even have milk?

[killedzordon]

Not all humans are from earth, you know--or all Rangers. I'm from KO-35. It's a space colony, in the Karova System.

And no. We don't have milk.

[imnot_deedee]

I'm just... gonna have to take your word on that one.

[It's not like she doesn't know aliens exist, mostly it's the milk thing she's having trouble with.]

[killedzordon]

Yeah, probably. We don't have garages either.

My mun tells me your team had a bit of a trial by fire.

[imnot_deedee]

Yeah. Actual, literal fire.

[killedzordon]

And in the end, you all made it through. You did good. You all did.

[imnot_deedee]

We did, yeah.

I'm Trini, by the way. Guess you already know that, though.

[killedzordon]

I've met your counterpart, and some members of her team. But it's still nice to meet you Trini.

And I'm Andros.

[imnot_deedee]

You met my whatnow? Not to get all Rocket Raccoon, but there ain't nobody like me but me.

[killedzordon]

I'd say you are definitely unique, but there's a Trini in my universe too. You share some of the same qualities--but are definitely two very different individuals.

[imnot_deedee]

Different universe. Right. Probably should have guessed that one.

[killedzordon]

There's a couple different ones actually. I wish it wasn't necessary though.

[imnot_deedee]

I don't know, trying to have everything crammed together in one universe seems like it would cause problems.

[killedzordon]

Probably. I just wish there weren't so many universes out there that need protecting.

[imnot_deedee]

Yeah, that's kind of a drag. You'd think some universe would have things figured out.

[pinkattitude]

Careful Trini, Andros and his mun might try enabling you! [Smiiiirk]

[imnot_deedee]

Are you trying to make him sound like a creepy drug dealer? Because you're kind of making him sound like a creepy drug dealer.

[pinkattitude]

I dunno, does the chance to meet other rangers from another universe sound drug dealer-y? Because, uh, he's getting mine with that. Not sure resisting will last long.

[imnot_deedee]

... it kind of does, actually.

LOLOLOLOL

[killedzordon]

[Hey, he's been to some pretty shady places, although that red cloak might not be nearly as inconspicuous as he likes to think it is]

My mun tells me so many characters in medietas_mods are her fault. She kind of is like a shady drug dealer.

<3

[pinkattitude]

There you go, Trini, Andros is an intergalactic ranger dealer.

[imnot_deedee]

This is something that would probably be more awesome if my mun was into games.

[pinkattitude]

Yeah probably but hey, you can taunt the rest of us then. You have an advantage not going to a game.

[imnot_deedee]

Yeah, I guess.

[mastodont]

Awww, but we're your idiots!

[But he's with you there, Trini-- without teammates there's not much point, right?]

[imnot_deedee]

Actually, I'm pretty sure we're technically all Jason's idiots, team leader privelege and all.

[She's smiling though, so probably mostly joking.]

[mastodont]

Ahh right-- takes one to lead one, yeah? Or four.

Speaking of idiot stuff though, you're right. It wouldn't work at all without us with you.

[imnot_deedee]

Aww, you miss me already and we haven't even officially been separated yet.

[It's bound to happen, though, and she knows it. She's just trying to preemptively make the best of it.]

[mastodont]

Miss you? Nah, no-- we just can't be 'Five Warriors' if we're down one, you know? Four isn't as cool-sounding.

[imnot_deedee]

You've got a point. Can't break ties with only four, either.

And I'm pretty sure we still need all of us to be able to armor up.

[mastodont]

Exactly! Who's going to side with me on the important stuff, like pineapple on pizza? Or if wrestling is fake?

...also that. Something tells me that Rita isn't the only one who wants a piece of Earth.

..get it? Because it's a crystal. In the ground.

[imnot_deedee]

Yeah, I got that, I'm not the one who needs jokes explained.

Pineapple yes, fake also yes, but it doesn't matter because movies are fake too, but we still like them.

[legacyyellow]

[Whoa! Now there's a sight she didn't expect to see, like, ever

But change is good, and she's curious to see where you're headed.]

You sound like you've a solid head on your shoulders. It can be difficult to admit your reliance on your friends. [Or anyone, for that matter.] Remember that reliance is not a sign of weakness, but of strength and trust.

[imnot_deedee]

Pretty sure the five of us still need each other to armor up, so definitely not a weakness.

Kind of inconvenient, though. Maybe.

[legacyyellow]

[Oof, that does sound inconvenient, to say the least.]

That's certainly an easy method to get the upper hand with you. Is the proximity to make up for some lack of emotional bond?

[When she became the yellow ranger, they were all friends starting out, so this...is new.]

[imnot_deedee]

Might be? I don't know. And I don't know for sure if we can't, I don't think any of us have tried.

Just, Zordon's disembodied face was pretty intent on the whole team dynamic, 'you need each other to succeed' thing.

[pink_crane]

Team mates are always good to have around but sometimes being on your own is cool too.

[imnot_deedee]

I'm used to being on my own, anyway.

Think the teammates are kind of a necessity, though, not just a fun accessory.
