Who: Open log that is open for all
Where: Planetside
Summary: Shopping extravaganza
Warnings: SHOPPING

Agrestic might have had might farmer's market and produce that would rival the best farms,but for a wunderkind, this wasn't anything she might have really liked. Food? Pah! She was content with the slop and whatever she could pull off in the sensoriums. After taking a stop at the weapons, she was busy looking at all the boutiques and large items and see what she could barter off and find. There were ingredients to collect and rare crystals to find so she could build more things that could be helpful to the war and dangerous to their enemies.

Maybe she could make something like the Black Obelisks again...only this time with less energy draining of the area. She had a feeling Stacy wouldn't be too happy about something taking away from her own energy.

Maybe even a hot tub...look, she had super important priorities, okay. Priorities that included hot tubs.

"Now lift both your fists up to shoulder height, facing inwards," Zetta said. "Arch your back slightly, tip your head back just a little, look upwards, and bellow, 'I AM INVINCIBLE!' Then add whatever evil laugh you prefer."

Zetta, what are you teaching poor, sweet, innocent Lash?

[thewunderkind]

Wonderful...or was that WUNDERful things?

She did as was told and truthfully it looked a bit silly when she did it. Especially since her evil laugh was more of her usually Tee hee hee, but just said really loudly. WAs that lightening crackling outside?

"This reminds me of when I was a brainwashed evil scientist! Now that I think about it...I did have a cape for that!"

Not a huge stretch, really. Just take off the part where she was doing this against her will and nothing much would have changed.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

WHAT HAD HE DONE?! Zetta stared in abject horror.

"Did you laugh like that when you were brainwashed? That part... that one part needs some work. More maniacal, less... girly, you kind of sound like Pram."

He needed a brain-scraper. To get that image out. NOW NOW NOW.

[thewunderkind]

She stopped mid-sentence, in between being insulted and trying to remember.

"I---no actually it was more of a Haw haw haw." And..it almost sounded better, really. She wasn't sure if she wanted to sound like Pram either, bring on the brain-scraper, she'd share it along with him. "I dunno that's more what I've been doing all my life?"

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"I don't get it, though. 'Tee hee' seems so... quiet and reserved. You're all in-your-face and energy. I mean, at least with Pram I knew she was doing it to be all cute-girl-evil, but that's totally not your thing."

After all, to be cute-girl-evil, one had to realize one was female, and watching Lash change in the time he'd known her made it obvious that she was still coming to grips with that fact.

"If I was gonna guess, I'd have said you were a maniacal cackler, myself."

[thewunderkind]

Stare.

"A what?" No seriously. What did that even mean. It didn't help that she first had heard maniacal cracker. What did crackers have to do with this, she had no idea.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"A maniacal cackler."

He paused awkwardly.

"You cackle. Maniacally."

Seemed obvious to him...

[thewunderkind]

She continued to state at him, completely dumbfounded.

"Can you...give me an example?" The whole different degrees of laughter was clearly lost on her. IT wasn't like Sturm or Hawke had ever practiced that sort of thing, now that she thought about it.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Zetta gave her a look like she'd asked him to give her a moon. No, actually, he'd have been fine giving her a moon, but she wanted him to endanger his dignity, which was of course priceless beyond measure.

"Do I look like a cackler? Or sound like one? I took a hundred years to perfect my evil laugh! Most Overlords do."

He attempted to fume and act indignant for a moment, but it faded quickly. "Maybe cackling isn't for you, but the whole 'tee hee' thing just seems so... restrained. Like how do you let out a maniacal, full-voiced 'tee hee'?"

[thewunderkind]

"Well uh..." She tried to think back when she had done that and all she could remember was that brainwashing incident which had turned her into a brainwashed madscienti---so not that much different. How HAD she laughed back then, let's see uh...

"Like this?" Cough. Pause. HAND RAISED TO THE SKY...dramatic music building up to this moment where her life could be changed forever and...

"...Mwhahaha?!" It was a start, but the delivery let a lot to be desired.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

"No, no, no," Zetta said, casting his gaze down, which was the best he could do without a head to shake. "You're overthinking it. It has to come straight from the depths of your soul! It's not quite the same as a normal laugh, because it expresses your pride, arrogance, and awesomeness all in one mighty exhalation!"
