[VIDEO]; @fatima

[Fatima's life dictates that she has to carefully manage and regulate her appearance. It's a bit of a neurosis, really. She's had to dedicate much of the last few years to proving that she's every bit as capable and mature as a bunch of vampires who have seen more than a few centuries. The mortal girl is not going to sit at the kiddie table, thank you very much. Which means not looking like a kiddie.

She wears a lot of make up. Like, a lot. It's well done and attractive, certainly. But noticeably an inch thick. Her hair is pulled back in a braid today, draping over her left shoulder. But what really completes the "I'm not a child" look is the attitude. It's her carefully schooled expression, just the right amount of jaded blase, as if to say "I've seen too much to ever be wide-eyed again."

It's her first network post. She figures first impressions matter. Although this is not how she imagined greeting the network.]


Hey, Fatima Merali here.

[She's got a thick, West Coast accent. She even says her name in a disgustingly Americanized way.]

Los Angeles, 2009, for any of you keeping track of that kind of thing.

Listen. Has anyone seen or heard from Ray Palmer lately? It's like he just vanished.

"If you know yourself and know your enemy, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." Sun Tzu, if you'll forgive me for being horribly trite in my quotations, but the man knew a thing or two.

Oooh. "To answer power with power, the Jedi way this is not." Master Yoda.

Man, Yoda doesn't do it for you? Tough audience. I -- wait. Damn it. When did Deathly Hallows come out? Is that spoilers for you? [Damned if he can remember right now, so Morgan hurriedly waves that line of thinking off.] "Only in the leap from the lion's head will he prove his worth," Dr. Henry Jones.

"You're damn right you will, and I'll look forward to it, Fatima."

That was either me or renowned short-term president William Henry Harrison. I'll try to have figured out which by the time I do see you next.
