PERFECTION

This is my world. I'm just letting you live here. [ ind. oc ]

[aadvena-archive]

              ❝ what an … interesting title, to say the least.  ❞

she types the name into the notes app on her phone anyhow, talking  all the while. surely this was an attempt to distract from the fact that said task takes her an abnormally long amount of time.

❝  this is of the science fiction genre, yes ? i have seen a minimal amount of     films throughout my lifetime, but i enjoy those most. have you seen invasion      of the body snatchers ? it is one of my favorites. ❞

[argintperfecta]

“ that’s such a good movie. you have such good taste.  we’re friends now, you know. we are. ”

[longtiime]

      Don’t be angry because you don’t like the answer.

[argintperfecta]

It wasn’t a good answer!

[longtiime]

      Isn’t it?

[argintperfecta]

No! I just said it wasn’t!

[aadvena-archive]

❝ & yet you still have received awards for them ?    what is one that you would recommend i watch ? ❞

[argintperfecta]

“ all of them? but if i had to choose one, i’d say ‘electrical monster cheerleaders from hell’ is the best, for what it is. ”

[longtiime]

      How does anyone?

[argintperfecta]

That’s not a real answer.

[aadvena-archive]

❝ is that so ? that must be exciting, being an actress. but i do not    entirely understand. you have been in movies related to bees ?     as in, those … those little buzzing things ? ❞

[argintperfecta]

“ ...no? they’re more, like, okay. you have a regular movie, say titanic. that’s an a-movie. a b-movie would be black dynamite. cheap, has that exploitation feel. not really good. ”

[longtiime]

I already have.

[argintperfecta]

Oh yeah? How?

[aadvena-archive]

              ❝ that is understandable. what is that you do ? ❞

inquisitive as she is, such a trait also tends to make her appear flat out nosy. even so, the topic of the other’s abilities, money, & work only serve to interest her more, making it almost impossible for her not to continue to pose question after question.

[argintperfecta]

it’s not a problem, really. charlotte can talk about herself forever. give her the opportunity, and she’ll brag until her throat is dry.

“ I’m an actress. Not only that, I’m Hollywood’s brightest star -- I’ve won Oscars for B-movies. "

[aadvena-archive]

❝  yes, i believe that was all. i must admit that i am beyond     intrigued with your abilities ; they are most certainly     unique. but i must ask, have you considered how rich     you could become by curing people ? ❞

[argintperfecta]

“ i’m already rich. and beautiful too. i guess it would be the nice thing to do, but i can’t stand hospitals, so i never go. the really sick are in there. everybody else just. kind of gets over it, y’know? so, i don’t really think i have to.  ”  

[longtiime]

      I’m not.

[argintperfecta]

So what? You don’t want to live forever, huh?

[terrorofbrooklyn-blog]

{ …Yeah. Sure. Good luck with that. }

Fucking psycho, he thinks- but then he remembers that Spider-Man doesn’t exactly have the best rep, even in his native Manhattan. Apparently the young woman’s prejudice doesn’t extend to symbiotes- or if it does, she’s doing a remarkably tactful job of hiding it- but he’d still like some answers.

{ Why do you want to kill him, anyway? Is it a money thing, or a revenge thing, or do you just think taking him down’s gonna boost your rep? }

[argintperfecta]

“As if I need him to boost my reputation,” Charlotte answers. “He hurt my mom a long time ago and ruined her fun, so I’m going to make him pay for it.” 

It’s a terrible reason, given Lorina was robbing a fast food restaurant or just generally causing mayhem for fun, but good luck convincing her devoted daughter of that.

“I just need to get him in my sights and,” she takes a deep breath in, “Roll the credits.”

[aadvena-archive]

❝ that must be quite convenient. although, what if you accidentally     imagine something inconvenient  ? would you just imagine it is     gone ? … can you just imagine anything ? i mean, if someone got     hurt and you imagine they were not would they instantly be     cured ? ❞

pav does not hesitate to ask these questions rapid fire. this is no surprise considering this woman was one of the first mutants she had met – or, at least, one of the first that was willing to openly share her abilities with pav.

[argintperfecta]

“ that was a lot. let me see... if i imagine something bad, i can just imagine it away. i can’t imagine things that would be bad for me, because i can’t understand how bad things could happen to me. i can imagine pretty much anything -- if someone got sick, i can make them cured but i have to know what they have and they have to be near me. was that all of them?  ”

[fixmedont]

[ He shrugs. ]

Don’t-care.

[argintperfecta]

( charlotte’s already skipping away, content in her personal victory. )

[longtiime]

[ Doris simply makes a small tsk noise and shrugs. ]

[argintperfecta]

You sound jealous~

[terrorofbrooklyn-blog]

Scott does a double-take, caught off-guard not by the question itself but by the eagerness and sincerity of it. She sounds like a little kid asking if he wants to go get ice cream.

{ …What? No! We don’t want to kill anyone! }

[argintperfecta]

“But I thought -- hm,” she looks him up and down. Charlotte isn’t satisfied by what she sees -- things like him are supposed to murder a lot but she decides to let it go. “Well, okay. I’ll do it when I see him, by myself.”

[aadvena-archive]

❝wonderful, actually ! but how is it that you were able    to do that ? you must not be human or at least not entirely    so, correct ?  you are the first i have met that can change    their hair color at will  ——— without the use of “ HAIR DYE “. ❞

[argintperfecta]

“ i’m a mutant. the prettiest one too, by far. so, everything i imagine becomes reality if i want it to. something like changing my hair color is real easy.  "

[aadvena-archive]

❝ oh, you really think so ? well, thank you.     —— if i am honest, i am quite proud if it.❞

a grin & a small hair flip follow her response as pink locks cascade upon her shoulder, resting just as they had before.

[argintperfecta]

charlotte imagines her hair is pink and so it becomes she holds a bit of her new hair between her forefinger and thumb.

“ how do i look? ”
