-A new face has appeared! At least new to almost everyone of the Legionnaires save for one. And boy does she have a ten mile wide smile. She's practically bounding in her seat as she starts to record the video. Fortunately for her, these devices aren't impenetrably high tech. Hell, compared to spellphones, they're downright antiquated by being an actual physical object. Still, those blue eyes of her (what was with the odd rings in her irises?) were shining with what could only be described as wonder.-

"To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am Miss Guns-n-Roses!"

It all sounds so romantic! The life of a super hero! I can hardly believe it! If there are three jobs every girl wants in life, they are being a queen, being a rock star, and being a super hero, and while I've come really close to two of those, this third one is right at my doorstep! I'm already here, even!

Who knows, in between rescuing cute alien animals and saving innocent people from danger and evil, I might even finally find MR. Guns-n-roses! -She's starting to talk faster, like really fast...- Can you imagine? If I were the wife of a super hero, with both of us being super heroes, we'd become the ultimate power couple! The literal ultimate power couple! Our honeymoon would be on a distant planet with the most gorgeous of sunsets over a glowing ocean, but be interrupted by a sudden attack from a dastardly, scheming villain! He'd cackle, -She deepens her voice throwing her head back and turning her hands upwards with fingers hooked- "MWA HA HA HA! I FINALLY HAVE YOU, MR AND MRS GUNS-N-ROSES! PREPARE TO SUFFER!"

But our love is too strong for them! In a long, blistering battle, we destroy the evil with the marvelous full strength of love between husband and wife! A bond unbreakable by the most terrorizing villains of the galaxy! We'll stand as a testament to love, and when the dust settles, we'll hold each other closely! Mr. Guns-n-Roses will say to me -Another deep voice, and a bad British accent, apparently?- "Darling, I don't just fight for the galaxy, I fight for you, and nothing can take you away from me~"

-... Her nose is bleeding. A lot. Oh god.- So perfect...

A-anyways, hello! -She quickly grabs a tissue to dab up that rush of blood.- I'm actually Elphelt Valentine! It's nice to meet you all, and I hope we can all work together for a better tomorrow~!

Perhaps....cold?

[That was a bad joke.]

It is possible, no doubt, but I cannot introduce you to anyone. [Because all the ones he knows are monks.]

[marryonette]

Cold, but only the flesh! Inside them beats the warmest of hearts, filled with love! -Oh boy, here she goes again.-

"How could you ever love a machine," they'd say, looking at me with eyes that express a profound, existential sadness, but I'll say to them "Darling, flesh or steel, none of that matters, because it's your soul that swept me off me feet!" And we'd embrace, despite any protests to our love, and show our union to the world as a symbol of peace and affection!

-Her nose started bleeding again...-

[touchmydragon]

[He wasn't going to debate any of that because, well, maybe it would happen like that. Who knows. There was something more important.]

...are you aware that you have high blood pressure?

[marryonette]

... Eh? What do you mean? -She grabs another tissue to dab at her nose as if that wasn't what inspired his comment.-

[touchmydragon]

[With a soft clank, he taps at the spot on his mask where the nose would be.]

Frequent nosebleeds are a common symptom of high blood pressure. I believe that was the second time in minutes. You may wish to see a doctor.

[marryonette]

Oh, you mean that!

Don't worry, I can lost a loooot of blood before I'm in trouble! -jesus christ.-

[touchmydragon]

[It wasn't the amount that was the issue but he wasn't going to push the point home. It certainly wasn't his business.]

I would suggest a doctor's visit in case other issues may come from it.

[marryonette]

Well it's nice of you to be so concerned, Mr... uh...

I don't think I caught your name, actually.

[touchmydragon]

You are free to call me Genji, Miss Valentine.

1/2

[marryonette]

Oh-oh! -A small blush- Please... just call me Elphelt!

[marryonette]

-But then, she blinks. Genji... Genji...-

Wait, are you Japanese?!

[touchmydragon]

Elphelt it is, then. And you are correct, I am Japanese.

[marryonette]

Um! Y-you...

I mean, they just let you wander around? You could get in serious trouble! -what.-

[touchmydragon]

For such an ominous sentence, I will need more of an explanation.

[marryonette]

Eh?

-It takes her a second, before she shies away a bit, realizing what she must sound like.-

Right... different worlds could mean...

S-sorry, it's nothing, you don't need to worry about it! It's nothing at all!

[touchmydragon]

I will not push you but do not hesitate to tell me of something that may not be of my world.

[Namely, it doesn't apply to him. While he may want to help that world, it would be hard to make that wish into reality.]

It would be for interest's sake, however, I am perfectly used to discrimination based on who I am so there is no need to hold back.

[That is, he is used to people downright hating him for basically being half robot. Though instead of robot, it seems to be something more Japanese related.]

[marryonette]

No, I understand. Trust me, I... I know what that's like.

To be hated for what you are. What you might represent. -She sighed, much of the earlier brightness gone from her eyes as they turn down.-

I'm sorry. I'm not being a very polite conversationalist right now, am I?

[touchmydragon]

...do not worry. A good portion of my life was spent not speaking with others. Any topic I can discuss is something of a....rehabilitation, as my master would put.

[marryonette]

Well, I'm glad I'm helping in that case, Mr. Genji. I'd be happy to help with that any time! I can talk your ears off, hee hee~ -She covered her lips as she giggled.-

[touchmydragon]

Are you certain I have ears to talk off?

[Aside from the horns on his helmet. But it was still an awful joke.]

[marryonette]

-Another laugh on her end.- Well you're a great listener, either way, Mr. Genji. Which is an excellent thing for anyone to be! -But she had to admit, it was a particularly attractive quality to her...-

So, um... -Well now what?-

[touchmydragon]

[Genji will accept that compliment. Though it is expected that monk trainee's be good at listening.]

Perhaps we can exchange stories some day. If we do, I will be sure to have plenty of tissues on hand for you.

[marryonette]

E-eh... Are you asking me out, Mr. Genji? -goddamnit, elphelt-

[touchmydragon]

My apologies if I spoke in that manner but I am not. [He does give a slight bow of his head in apology though he does legitimately think its his fault. Years of not having normal conversation will do that.] I will strive in the future to make myself clearer to avoid misunderstandings.

[marryonette]

O-oh! Right, right, I'm so sorry! Crap, way to make things awkward, El...
