005 || Veronica Mars || [video]

[ Veronica turns on the camera. In the background is the fountain. In the foreground is a rather irritated blonde who looks like she could happily deck somebody. But for right now, her baser desires are repressed, taken over instead by irritation and the sort of attitude that inspired her guidance counselor to say completely untrue and false things. Mostly. ]

So, don' take this the wrong way or anything, guys, but I kind of thought that once I was done with you, I'd be, you know, done with you.

And yet you guys just keep pulling me back in? Was I not terrible enough the first time? In case you forgot, I'm pretty sure I bit some of you.

Speaking of, what the hell is going on? I notice I'm human again. Cool. I notice I'm here again. Not. Cool. Did they take me? What happened?

If answers were to be had, you would have them, not the rest of us?

Better yet, your death was not announced so easy to assume your death did not occur and thus you were just spirited away for however long.

How long?

[hung_garian]

You were pretty terrible, weren't you? Maybe we should make you go live in the forest.

[intelligently]

Things apparently not to do: be terrible.

[shesamarshmallow]

...

...

[ Seriously, River? ]

That's what I'm wondering. How long. It might help me figure out what I missed?

Unless you want to tell me yourself. You know. Since I don't know.

[shesamarshmallow]

Oh, look. Someone I didn't miss at all.

Tell you what. You set me up a Swiss Family Robinson house in there and I'll consider it.

[shesamarshmallow]

Oh, cool. Lydia. Maybe you can help.

What did I miss?

[stiling]

Terrible's not really the best identifier for people not wanted here. I mean, look at what we're dealing with. Ghastly.

What the hell were you? Who're you making into chicken bones anyway?

[shesamarshmallow]

Look who stuck around. Maybe the scientists just like watching you too much to let you go.

And I was a vampire.

To the last, I will refuse to answer at the present time. You know how it is. Witnesses.

[stiling]

Is it on account of my good looks? It was on account of my good lucks, wasn't it?

And I was a werewolf! Together we make up one full Twilight book. So congratulations to us, I guess. [ He squints his eyes at the last bit, a minute shake of his head. ] Cagey, I see how it is.

It would appear that our captors thought it rather entertaining to take people immediately after the Change. [ Yes, it sounds capitalised. ]

Do you remember anything?

[shesamarshmallow]

Yeah, they looked at you, an underage boy who thinks plaid is the height of sophistication, and thought, "Oooooh, sexy." [ She gives him a thumb up. ] Way to go, you seducer, you.

[ She frowns, letting her thumb drop. ]

What's Twilight?

( v i d e o )

[shesamarshmallow]

Um... I think I bit Poison Ivy? And then I went home- here-home, I mean, and then... I don't know. I don't remember anything until I woke up in the woods.

Which, by the way, is something I don't recommend.

[intelligently]

[ Oh, great, that again ] I wouldn't know. I don't know anything.

[shesamarshmallow]

Really? Every time we've met so far, you've been telling me how little I know. Don't get humble on me now.

[intelligently]

[ Oh she could like you ] That could be true, but apparently everyone seems to know me and I don't know them.

[shesamarshmallow]

Oh. Oh.

You got Steve'd.

[intelligently]

Apparently. [ And maybe so did this girl, if she's back again ] I think I'll stick to being glad I can't remember it. [ Minus the headache ]

[shesamarshmallow]

No, Steve'd. And we had a Natasha that did the same thing. And I think a Clint.

It's where people come in from different point in their timelines with completely different memories. Like they aren't really the same people. More universe stuff. As in different universes.

Get it?

[intelligently]

[ And not the Steve'd-ing she thought. Okay ] There's another me except they're not me? [ ... Okay then. That is one confusing thing. She pretty much gets the concept but wanting to believe it? No ] So, how often does this happen? And why do you remember it?

[shesamarshmallow]

Because I'm the same me from before.

Whereas you're a different you from before.

[ See? It's so simple! Says the girl who's been learning about it since she got here ]

[intelligently]

That's fair. [ Not really, but what could she do? ]

I might take a rain check on what happened before. [ A couple of days? Maybe forever? ]

[shesamarshmallow]

Eh, no problem. So what's with you? You-you, I mean. New-you.

[intelligently]

Other than being brought to some creepy place? Wondering if I'll make it to the formal.

[shesamarshmallow]

Formal.

As in "dance formal?" A formal at which people dance?

[intelligently]

And wear the best dresses.
