New girl on the block

[trustmybase]

[After the video ends, the girl looks over toward whatever's recording her, moving closer to the screen.]

Great. Just a little online humiliation to finish the day off right.

[There's a series of rapid button smashing before she sits back in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest as she laughs a bit.] It just couldn't get any better.

[Golf clap.]

[trustmybase]

[Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is she even connected to.]

Thanks but that wasn't exactly up for public viewing.

[material_guy]

It was good enough you could say it was 'n get away with it. You sure you don't wanna go with that instead?

Alwyas vid

[trustmybase]

I could go with hopeless loser who dances alone in her apartment to show random people on the internet or just desperate loser who's practicing for an audition. Yeah, think I'm going to have to go with the second one.

[material_guy]

An audition... See? Y'say you're lookin' for some feedback!

[trustmybase]

I wasn't practicing to be the girl dancing around her living room, knocking over lamps. But one through ten, solid nine with bonus points for actually breaking the lamp, right?

[material_guy]

You do yer own special effects and stage lighting. It's a plus. I've been a movie maker, a crew that can do all that's tough to find. A little collateral damage just means you're doin' it right.

[trustmybase]

[There's a laugh that's not that much humored.] Yeah, special effected is one thing to call that. [But she did have fun.]

[material_guy]

So, you sing, too?

[trustmybase]

How'd you know? Just how much of this was recording?

[material_guy]

No singing. This time. You could fix that.

[trustmybase]

[She laughs.]

No way. The idea is to get this video off, not to add to it.

I'd hardly call that humiliating. It looked fairly impressive if you choose to ignore the lamp.

[ Lydia smiles calmly. ]

[trustmybase]

Trust me, it could easily be humiliating. And I have to a buy new lamp but thanks for the pep talk.

[She says this with a smile, even if it means more people saw this. She hadn't even known her laptop was open, nevermind that it was connected to a site.]

I think you'll find there are a lot worse things that could've been accidentally posted on this community.

[ There's a slightly nervous tone. She's seen some of the things that get posted, some of the things that end with her wanting to bury her face in her hands from second-hand embarrassment. ]

Like sex tape stuff? What kind of place is this?

[moonspell]

[ what in the hell is a sex tape

why is this woman suddenly speaking to her about sex

this is totally, totally not--

what-- ]

video;

[moonspell]

I hardly think it has anything to do with something of that nature. That's a little rude to speak of in public.

always video

[trustmybase]

Hey, I don't really have one to speak of. Anywhere.

Then...what kind of things did you mean? [Cause sex tapes are the only thing people are embarrassed by these days.]

yep

[moonspell]

I meant uncouth behavior or this place making you say or do things you wouldn't otherwise.

[trustmybase]

Even Internet fame can go to a person's head but if we give them a pass, we'll get even more bad reality shows.

[Uncouth? Not a word she hears everyday.]

[moonspell]

[ Things she's learned from the community in that sentence: internet.

She knows what reality is. She knows what a show is. But.. ]

What's a reality show?

[trustmybase]

[Unsure if it's a joke, she laughs.] You're kidding, right?

[Oh...Oh! She doesn't look like she is, after all.]

Notoriously bad television that focuses on a group of spoiled socialites and their exaggerated transgressions? Or, you would go the other extreme and focus on teenagers famous for NOT winning parents of the year awards.

[moonspell]

I suspect television is the word I'm missing that makes this clear.

[ She decides to just come out and say it. ] I'm sorry, I'm from the year 1865 so it's a little difficult to discern some things for me.

[trustmybase]

You're from...Oh. I get it. This is some kind of roleplaying site. It's not really my thing but I'll give props where props are due.
