There's a reason that I chose a high school as my setting. Before I graduated, you could say I was sort of the reigning Queen Bee--at least until about halfway through my Junior year. That's when everything fell to shit.
[Straight out of a movie high school drama.]
And like, I'm not just talking your average popularity drama, here. I nearly died because some bitch decided she didn't like my style. Trust me, when you've experienced that kind of underhanded scheming, you learn to adapt.
[Pulling off her mask, Disorder shakes out her hair, running a hand through the blonde strands. Her smile's as coy as any proper vixen.]
Anyway, the short story is: it's easy enough to present yourself as a victim when there are already details on your side. All you have to do is embellish, just a little, and everyone else does the heavy lifting for you.
[Whoa. He was not expecting her to ditch the mask. Gods can do that???
He also was not expecting her to be, like, practically a kid, but whatever. Technically she's not, not anymore. Good for her, securing immortality in her prime.]
Well, hey there. Isn't this an honor?
[She absolutely looks the part. He smiles.]
You're right about that. Can you believe everyone fell for my misdirect with the generator? I thought for sure someone would see through that.

[because he was like 12 and a nerd, so.]
How'd you get her back?
[He's sure she did.]
1/2
[Being the darling of PacRim, he can probably get what she means. Quirky, fast-talking Newt, the big bad? No way.]
Ugh, God. This mask is really putting a damper on my revenge talk. Hold on.

I think we've been overestimating this crowd, personally.

[It's a joke, but also, is it?]
Oh, without a doubt. They're easy as hell to confuse. Did you see that girl buying right off the bat that Ruin's ex-follower offed Fortune?

[She sighs, rolling her eyes.]
I swear. If I have to suffer through another week of relationship drama...
[But then, shrugs.]
At least it's a waste of time that benefits us. They only have themselves to blame if they keep up their shit priorities and help us win.
