[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.

[He has heard this at least a million times during his teenage years alone.]
Look, Merali, I'll do you a favor and see what I can dig up. We can talk about what the info's worth to you later, but if it relates to the locals then it's gonna be worth a pretty fair amount.

[Honestly? He just has nothing dubiously moral to do, and that makes him antsy.]

She smirks.]
I work in the greenhouses. The most I can do for you is grow some pot, and only if you get me seeds.

[He can get harder shit himself but hey... free drugs are free drugs. Even if the waiting period will be annoying.]

Unless you'd rather have pineapples. I can get you those right away.
To eat or sit on or do whatever you want to do with pineapples.
