Character is Godiva, Canon is post-reboot JLI

[mane_attraction]

While I'm glad (and surprised, to be honest) that you've decided to pick me up, I do hope you won't turn the fact that my hair is my superpower into some bloody terrible joke. I get enough of that from the villains I tend to tussle with on a regular basis.

[pause]

No. Whip My Hair will not be my theme song.

Stop. Laughing.

Some of us make out pretty well with no powers at all. You just have to make it work.

[aceofkillers]

Eh, you should be good. Nobody ever messes with Medusa on the other side'a things, right? You can win the same kinda respect.

[Icon keywords so appropriate right now.]

[8x10s_on_request]

Whip it!

Whip it good!

[mane_attraction]

True. I've seen Knight and Squire do some truly amazing things sans superpowers.

[mane_attraction]

Medusa? The woman with snakes for hair? There's a reason I didn't go with her for my codename, you know.

[Lol!]

[plains_hunter]

And personally, I would have gone with "Whip It", by Devo.

[mane_attraction]

[Glares at Booster.]

That's not funny.

[mane_attraction]

Well, that is peppier and less repetitive.

But no.

[plains_hunter]

No matter side of the law you fall on, we're grown-ups running around in odd costumes. You have to be able to laugh at yourself.

[8x10s_on_request]

You sure? Because I'm pretty sure it was.

[mane_attraction]

It's a trait I believe I'm going to need to work on. It's just difficult, being in a new situation that was rather...unexpected.

[mane_attraction]

It's better than Whip My Hair, I'll give you that.

[8x10s_on_request]

Either way, this general time period has way better music than the future.

[mane_attraction]

If the popularity of Justin Bieber is anything to go by, I weep for the future.

And it's another reason to be glad that you're back in the past.

[Booster may be pre-reboot, but he's still only occasionally slow on the uptake. Flirting is flirting.]

Totally boreville there. The past is [suggestive eyebrows] way more interesting.

[clowngirl]

Too late for that! An' here I didn't even know they were makin' a JLI Barbie!

[mane_attraction]

[Godiva quirks up an eyebrow of her own. This, she's beginning to sense, is definitely not the Booster she's familiar with. Certainly not something she's going to complain about, though.]

Better music, better movies, better...everything.

Except for the technology, I'll bet.

[She's seen what her world's Booster's suit can do.]

[mane_attraction]

I take offense to that statement.

No matter how much I might actually resemble it.

...Are you supposed to be a cosplay nun version of Harley Quinn? [Because she's seen pictures of Harley Quinn, and this girl looks not a lot like her, beyond the colour scheme.]

[forcedreset]

Oh, but it is such a very catchy tune, don't you think?

[clowngirl]

Any dressin' up like a nun is between me and my Puddin', thankyouverymuch. I'm Famous Original Harley Quinn, deliverin' no unsavory substitutions!

[mane_attraction]

I'm with you on that dressing up thing.

[mane_attraction]

Yes? But then so were Friday and Call Me Maybe. Believe me when I say that doesn't make it such a great thing.

[forcedreset]

The lady has no love for pop music, I see!

[mane_attraction]

The lady is a rather huge fan of the Beatles, Adele and I admit it the Spice Girls of my youth.

[aceofkillers]

...Not quite. Though speakin' of the whole 'codename' thing, you thought implyin' you run around naked was a better fit?

[Not that he would mind if that happened, but it didn't seem quite her style.]

[bornforwar]

Once you prove that you can kill with just your hair, people stop laughing.

[mane_attraction]

Call it a historical homage.

Besides, you have to admit - Godiva is an infinitely more glamourous codename than Medusa.

[mane_attraction]

I'm not the sort of person to take a life, actually. It's not in my M.O.

[aceofkillers]

Eh, gotta admit I always thought 'Madame Medusa' had a pretty good claim to class.

But hey, maybe I just couldn't stand all th' dumbass goons who'd ask 'What, like the chocolate?' all the damn time. Far as homages go, that one's got some irritatin' baggage attached.

[mane_attraction]

I've only ever gotten that from the Americans, to be honest.

Which...is unfortunate.

[aceofkillers]

Th' American school system. Gotta love it.

Though I'll have to admit bein' surprised on that part, ain't they a multinational company? Based in Switzerland or Sweden or one'a them? [Yeah, Tommy didn't pay much attention in school either.]

Hell I'd think they'd offer you a job as spokesgal. Good for them if you go out an' save the world from Doktor Malevolence an' his army of Omni-Germs, or whatever.
