The One With The Chatty Cathy's: Video

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[Scrad eyes their comm as the hallway passes behind them. They're doing a walk-and-talk: just like on The West Wing! That show is hilarious. Human politics.]

So. Why is everybody introducing themselves and asking if anybody's out there? Is this an invasion?

[Charlie pops onto screen and says:]

Because we, for one, welcome our new already welcomed overlords, and are eager to submit our resume. References available on request.


[Happy 4th Wall Day! 4th wall away!]

She's got it pretty figured out.

[Charlie says. Scrad asks:]

You sure you need our advice?

[photosympathy]

I need an in with the industry! I can be as evil as you want, but as long as I'm stuck living on a farm with my grandpa, I'm never gonna help instigate a galactic war, am I?

[twoheadsofcabbage]

Woah, woah, woah: who are you looking to start a galatic war with?

[Scrad asks. Charlie also asks:]

And why are you looking to start a galactic war at all? Because unless you got a major presence in the intergalactic arms market, you're really just screwing yourself.

[photosympathy]

You see!

[Decisive point!]

That right there is why I need this internship! I just don't have your real life experience in the henchmarket! Like, if someone tried to hire you to start an intergalactic war? You guys'd probably say no, because you're experts.

[Trying to butter up the two headed alien? Who she?]

[twoheadsofcabbage]

No, we'd do whatever they paid us to, we'd just get outta dodge before the fighting started.

[Scrad says. Charlie explains:]

Beings that wanna hire you to start intergalactic wars don't take being told 'no' lightly.

[They're a little suspicious about that too, but on the other hand: it's kinda nice to be appreciated for once. No one ever tells them they did a good job. And they have done a good job before. Just not for the good guys.]

[photosympathy]

See, there's another thing I don't know about! Intergalactic travel! I'd just be stuck in dodge like some schmuck!

[That apple tree is still growing, but now she can pluck one of the apples from it, and ditch the trunk on the floor beside her. She's going to have to tidy that up later...]

So, how did the two of you get into this kind of work?

[twoheadsofcabbage]

That part sucks.

[Charlie agrees. Scrad says:]

The usual. Got sick of the homeworld and everyone on it, jumped the first transport we could, fell in with a bad crowd, and found out we were pretty good at it.
