[ It's getting late into the evening when Paige posts. Two things can be known just by looking at the video: 1) Paige is very wet, due to the rain and having been in it since she's arrived, 2) she's confused. She hasn't gotten any answers - other than the ones from the 'welcome lady' and she hasn't seen who she's been looking for. Mainly the Gods, or a God. So, whilst she's broadcasting (which may look accidental, but in fact it's very deliberately done) Paige is looking up at the sky, calling: ]

I can stand and do this all day you know.

[ The reason she's looking up at the sky? That's what she usually does, sky or ceiling, or just in the general direction of 'up there' for yelling at the Elders. Or Leo, though that's mostly Piper ]

You think this is the worst? Well you're wrong.

[ Or maybe she's underplaying it a little. Paige found out very quickly after arriving here that she didn't have her powers, any of them. She's tried orbing - or orbing something - several times throughout the day to no avail, and that's only the tip of why she's very not happy (actually it's the biggest part of it). And as worrying as not having her powers is? She's not going to say anything about it on the video, or in earshot of anyone but these 'gods' ]

I've faced... things worse than this. [ Yeah, it's hard to be vague, and harder to cut yourself off when you're yelling at the sky and your words can just flow. But she's doing it ] So you can just- No. You're going to come down here or... something will happen. [ She hasn't tried casting any spells yet, and since that part of her magic can't be taken like her powers (she thinks) she's going to be quickly coming up with something. Something better than her bad threats

And finally, with a sigh and frustrated noise, Paige tilts her head back down, finally looking at and addressing the broadcast: ]

Has anyone had any luck with them? Or are they just like- [ the Elders, she was going to say ] -like some... rude people?

I don't think anyone has had much luck with 'em, actually...

Well, that's nice to know. [ From her tone it's hard to tell if she's being sarcastic or not. She's glad of the information, but not what the information is - she'd like some answer from them ]

A... hahaha.

[ He laughs awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. ]

I guess it is.

Um, does one of them being grounded count?

Being grounded? [ Sorry, she's just imagining one in the naughty corner one time out ] How did that happen?

I think you should see this.

[Sending this file to her now.]

That- [ She pauses, trying to find something. A god just grounded another god and... ] I don't even know what to say to that. [ Except- ]

What did he mean by 'getting your powers back'? [ Because she would like hers back thank you ]

Edited (icons i can do them) 2012-09-17 16:55 (UTC)

It was to 'prove a point': original powers don't work here or we die.

Well... that was a great way to make a point. [ It'd be hard to miss the sarcasm in her words. And internally she's angry about it, giving people back powers when it could (supposedly) kill them? That's a great way to want someone to help you... ] How many died?

[ Allison looks a little confused by this broadcast (and is trying really hard not to look up to see if there's anything this girl could be yelling at since they're in different parts of the city). ] I'm pretty sure that if you want to talk to them, you have to use the network. Not... [ Scream at the sky. ]

They don't always answer, though, I don't think.

I figured it was worth a shot. [ And is like an old habit. And hey, maybe the Elders could still hear... and still ignore ]

I'm getting that impression. I guess you haven't spoken to them?

[ She nods and smiles a bit because, really, who can blame her? ]

Not personally, no, but I know someone who has. I don't know how he managed it, though.

Did he get anything useful out of them? Or I guess anything at all could be useful. [ When you have nothing, anyway ]

Only that any powers anyone had back home would be swapped out with something different here, and getting the old powers back is actually dangerous for your health.

Rudest sons'abitches you're likely to meet.

[Hi, have a nice bright smile from Dean Winchester. That might warm you up.]

There's really no use shouting up at them. They only communicate when it suits their own interests.

[ She would say 'actually, they've got some competition' but that requires an explanation, and she's better at being tight lipped than she used to be. Mostly

But hey, a smile. That's the friendliest thing she's had all day. Even if it's not really returned (she's soaked and annoyed) it's appreciated ] And what are their interests? Other than [ and she's looking back up and yelling again ] kidnapping!

[Well, they should swap stories sometimes. There's really no one ruder than the devil. Or angels, for that matter. Though you could argue that once they were the same thing.

He doesn't blame her. Rain'll dampen anyone's spirits. (Get it? Dampen?)] Sometimes they like to mix it up a little by sending things like dragons or evil fairy creatures to torment us. To keep life fresh, or whatever.

[ She would definitely go for that story thing, if she didn't think most of hers sounded pretty ridiculous (which, spoilers, some of them are) ]

Dragons and fairies... keep things fresh? [ She sounds skeptical, especially when that sounds pretty normal life to her (except the dragons ~~for now~~) ] Has anyone tried to tell them that their sense of humour is kind of lacking?

[After you've been trapped in TV Land or nearly killed by haunted ballet shoes, ridiculous becomes kind of relative.]

Hey, whatever gets you going in the morning. [Shrug.] They don't take too kindly to constructive criticism.

They usually wait until we've done something extremely irritating.

Unfortunately that varies from day to day it seems.

Edited 2012-09-12 02:00 (UTC)

[ She would text back if a) she wasn't Paige, and b) she wasn't drenched, so you can keep on seeing a wet girl talking ]

I could do irritating. You got any examples?

Persistence seems to get on their nerves.

Good luck.

Thanks. You'll probably see what happens. [ If anything does ] I'm Paige, by the way.

What kind of worse things?

Oh. [ Crap, someone had picked up on that ] Uh, I was exaggerating. [ And that lie does sound like a lie, and a pretty bad one ]
