[Guess who can see again, bitches? That's right. This video is brought to you by the letters V and M, the number one, and the activity today will be kicking A. It's also brought to you by a pint-sized blonde who is totally up to snuff. Mostly. Veronica is only slightly bothered by the lack of food - growing up poor has its perks - but her foot is still healing.]

Hey, all you food-deprived and in some special cases brain-deprived peeps! It just so happens that I've been pretty much out of commission and doing little more than watching Candle Cove. So what's the skinny, the sitch, the four-one-one? I'm getting cabin fever, and trust me. You do not want a bored Veronica Mars on your hands.

[And with that, Veronica grows serious.]

Do you see what you've done, Troy? Not only did he take my foot, but he made me speak in the third person, Troy.

Third person.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand scene.]

What happens when you're bored? Explosions? General mayhem?

private;

[shesamarshmallow]

I run around and bite people like a squirrel.

Although since my foot is still on the mend, you'll just have to wander really closer to me.

[manofiron]

And what qualifies as entertainment?

private;

[shesamarshmallow]

I like... strippers, conmen, catching adulterers, causing mischief at my school - I guess I can modify my methods here.

Oh. But I love unicorns.

Love.

private;

[manofiron]

[ That makes him laugh. ]

Sorry. I'm fresh out of unicorns. Unless you want me to draw a really bad one. That I could do.

private;

[shesamarshmallow]

Then I'd like to order a herd of badly-drawn unicorns, please.

What about you? What's there to do around here these days, other than disappear?

private;

[manofiron]

You got it. One herd of mutant unicorns coming up.

[ He's got a pen and a sheet of paper. He's going to work on it now. :]

If I figure out an answer to that question, I'll let you know. Because I'm looking for one too.

[shesamarshmallow]

[ Seriously? Well. Okay, then. Veronica has a tendency to like men who draw her mutant unicorns. ]

On the bright side, if we blow something up, it will be like new again in the morning.

They could at least fix food up the same way. I mean, I'm good, but other people are going muy loco.

[manofiron]

You know, I heard about that. Food replenishing itself. I've seen the broken cameras do it, but the refrigerator just doesn't seem to do the same.

[hung_garian]

Oh, the humanity.

[shesamarshmallow]

You mock me, Henry Higgins, but your tears will come too late.

[So okay, maybe the lack of food is wearing on her and just making her a little more giddy than usual. But she can roll with that. And expect everyone else to do so as well. Because she's a marshmallow, goddamnit.]

[hung_garian]

But will they, though? You're using the first person again.

[shesamarshmallow]

Veronica is sorry to have offended your plebeian ears. Though she can only suppose that your ears might be too easily offended, as, like your forehead, they are scarily large. All the better to hear with? Or do you use them to fly?

[hung_garian]

Really, that's what you're gonna go with? You're pretty awful at feeling out insecurities if that's what you're trying here, sweetheart.

[shesamarshmallow]

You don't have any tiny feet I can mock? No third nipple? Sixth finger on your left hand? Did you kill my father?

Come on, Alex. Give me a category.

[hung_garian]

No, no, no and possibly, it's so hard to keep track. If you gotta mock something, I suppose I'm a little insecure about how darn big my biceps are. Sometimes they just rip straight through shirts, it's a problem.

[shesamarshmallow]

[Hello, loooooooooooooooooooooong time to answer. How are you?]

Classic overcompensation.

Also, a bit of distraction. Like when people wear makeup a certain way to distract from how... small... other things are.

[tooghoulforschool]

I got your cure, babydoll, don't you worry. [Cabin fever is practically an epidemic where he comes from. What-- no, don't look at him that way. Not what he meant!]

How good's that arm? [Still not what he meant.] Got some shiny things that need smashing.

[shesamarshmallow]

[Damn you, Ghoul!]

Again. It's Veronica, Chubcheeks.

And it's my foot that broke, not my arm. I can still swing a hammer with the best of them, I'd just rather do it sitting or lying down.

[gleans]

Candle Cove? Man, I loved that show. [ GRINNING. ]

[shesamarshmallow]

Right? I think my favorite character was Laughingstock. "You have... to go... inside."

I don't remember all the episodes, though. Signs of a misspent youth.

WAH I'M SORRY

[gleans]

Eh, all you missed was screaming, anyway. Lots of screaming.

So -- hey. I'm Galen. Mind if I ask what happened to your foot?

No worries!

[shesamarshmallow]

Veronica.

I found the floor but missed the stairs. [ She shrugs. ] Gravity works a little too well in my place. Joy, right?

[gleans]

Ow. Yeah, I'll say. At least that's a pretty normal injury, for this place?

[shesamarshmallow]

Why, because I was supposed to be mauled by a bear or a wolf or something?

Does it help if I say I was blinded by one of our captors' little gifts before I took my tumble?
