Okay, look. Before you take me anywhere we've got to sit down and have a major talk about how this is going to go.

First, I need my suit. Showing up naked on a spaceship won't work because I will literally disintegrate into a bunch of jumped-up molecules that don't talk to each other long enough to form a brainwave. I know you like to challenge yourself, honey, but trust me: you do not want to play a mass of thoughtless particles. You will be bored out of your skull. And I'll be effectively dead.

Second, what's all this talk about nerfing me? Teleporting is kind of what I do. It's why I got hired, besides the fact that I look amazing in a dress and someone needed to fill the gaping void in certain people's hearts. It's part of who I am. I know you said no one's taking all my powers away, but jeez, what's a girl got to do to feel good about herself these days?

Wait... what? What the heck are you?

[look_ma_no_arms]

Way to start a conversation.

I'm a superhero. I'm also a being made of living energy that needs cute outfits to survive. Literally.

[soulinherfists]

I just ain't met anyone who dissolves before. Is there any way to put you back together if that happens?

[look_ma_no_arms]

You have to get me back in the suit. But you'd probably rather not be around me, since I have a tendency to explode things.

I used to be human, you know! Just like you. Or probably just like you. You are human, right?

[soulinherfists]

Well I'd just have to be quick, wouldn't I?

Yup! Human as the day is long. So what happened to you?

[look_ma_no_arms]

Ain't no one that quick, honey.

I blew up. And now I'm like this. It's a long story.

[soulinherfists]

You just haven't met me yet.

I guess it'd have to be. You left out the bit about becomin' a superhero.

[imago]

Maybe without your powers, you'll be forced to develop a personality.

[look_ma_no_arms]

If you're the template for that, I'd rather not.

[imago]

You're right. Why don't you go back to talking about filling out dresses? At least that was soothing white noise.

[look_ma_no_arms]

You know, I'd get mad, but haters gonna hate and all. I've gotten fanmail that's way more insulting than anything you've come up with.

[imago]

I didn't insult you. But you have my condolences. It must be tough having fans that make fun of you.

[look_ma_no_arms]

Where I come from saying someone has no personality is pretty much an insult. Sorry if you didn't get the 101 on that.

Word to the wise about fans: no matter how beloved you are, there's always going to be some sour ones. The fact that they exist doesn't say anything about how the public feels about me.

[encourage]

Not that I'd say Stacy might not try to pull the naked thing if she thinks she can, it's more pointless than even she seems to stoop to save someone just to let them disintegrate as soon as they're ready to wake up and join the rest of us.

[look_ma_no_arms]

I guess I've been on more futile missions, but it does seem a little like croaking before I even get out of the gate, doesn't it?

Also I might blow up the pod caverns. How often does this ship of yours make booboos?

[encourage]

... More often than anyone should be comfortable with.

[look_ma_no_arms]

Oh, goodie.

Well, if I blow up the next podpop, will you please make sure my grave's pretty? I guess it won't be the tourist trap it'd be on my homeworld but some flowers would be nice.

[encourage]

Yeah, sure, I can do that much. I've been working on memorial stones for the crew as it is, I can have a special aside for you.

Let's just not plan on actually needing to do that. I'd rather get to say hello and have someone say hello back to me, if you know what I mean.

[look_ma_no_arms]

...Wow, this place just sounds better and better.

Oh, believe me, I'd rather that too. I'm just saying! We X-Statix don't have the best track record for survival, and that's why they love us.

[i_have_arrived]

...well, I'd make the "aren't you just a ray of sunshine" comment, but given the whole 'made of energy' thing, it'd probably be in bad taste.

[look_ma_no_arms]

Oh honey, I could be a lot bitchier than this. And you should see the people I work with!

More like ray of somethingsomethingidon'tknowwhateversomething.

[i_have_arrived]

[...wait, Momo's trying to grasp being called 'honey'.]

[Probably best to not dwell on it.]

Heh! I'd wager I've seen a lot worse, firsthand.

[look_ma_no_arms]

I bet you have. You certainly look it. [She winks.]

[i_have_arrived]

Ehhh? What's that's supposed to mean?

That damn nosy woman didn't permanently scar my face all those times she punched me, did she?! [He's totally feeling his face now to make sure.]

[look_ma_no_arms]

Well, unless the big red get-ups for show, but it looks combat ready.

Your face is fine. Except, wait, you have spinach in your teeth.
