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?

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.

[imago]

It was an observation. I can't help it if you're thin-skinned. You should probably work on that if you intend on dealing with the public, though.

[look_ma_no_arms]

An observation can also be an insult.

Do you see me crying?

[imago]

No, but I hear plenty of complaining.

[look_ma_no_arms]

I'm just not sure where all the hostility is coming from, is all. All I've done is protect innocents a few times.

[And make scads of money off it, but unlike certain teammates of hers, at least Venus gives a shit! Can she have her cookie now?]

[imago]

[There's no need to respond further. Putting a small crimp in Venus's day is really all Isako asks of life.

So she just wanders off, checking her email.]
