[The video starts, showing a young woman with a bright bucktoothed grin, wearing a squirrel ear headband. There's a squirrel in a pink bow riding on her shoulder.]

Hey there Riverview. I'm Doreen Green. Also the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl. Normally, there's kind of a whole secret identity deal? But between showing up in costume and all the scans it...didn't seem really like it would work out here.

This is Tippy-Toe [The squirrel hops off Doreen's shoulder so the camera can get a better look at her.] She's my best squirrel friend and also the most awesome squirrel on this or any other planet. This is absolutely true, and I won't hear anyone say otherwise.

...well technically I will, since it's not like I'll suddenly go deaf if someone does say otherwise. I'm just going to ignore them.

I think 'unbeatable squirrel girl' is my new favorite superhero name.

Re: video @lightemup

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Thanks. It's mine too, but that's probably mostly the bias talking.

[umbrastaff]

Hey, it's fucking great, biased or not! Guessing you have squirrel powers?

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Yep. The proportional strength, speed, and agility of a squirrel, a tail, a couple of other neat bits here and there, and I can understand and speak Squirrelese.

[The squirrel takes this moment to speak up.}

Chttchtt.

Tippy-Toe says hi, by the way.

[umbrastaff]

Oh, you gotta be pretty nimble, then! And you speak their language?

[ She makes a little wave at the cutie that comes over, smiling. ]

I learned some animal language from a family of mongoose once, but that was another planet.

[ ...and like 100 years ago. ]

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Oh my god! Do you have mongoose powers? Tell me you have mongoose powers.

[ He had a fair deal of superheroes he met here and even befriended so this doesn't surprise him at all, although seeing someone being so bravely upfront about her identity is also unusual and totally up his valley on things he likes. ]

Hey hey hey hey I'm Jyushimatsu! Hi to you both!

[ And that squirrel is really cute! He pokes at the screen with a sleeve-covered finger, wishing he could pet squirrel in real life! ]

A bunch people are open about their hero-ness here as far as I know so don't worry! Just be careful that some crazy cultists don't try to kidnap you!

I can't say that I've ever seen a squirrel that tame before. Welcome to Riverview!

[umbrastaff]

Aww, no. That's would be so cool, though!

I do magic instead.

[wingedman]

...really? Squirrels? And I thought the bug-themed heroes were- [be tactful, Sam, be tactful] off the wall.



[Pot, kettle, etc. He's well aware.]

Re: video; @falcon

[partiallysquirrelblood]

You can say weird, dude. Weird is cool. There's so much stuff I wouldn't be able to do if I wasn't weird.

Re: audio un:pnwsalex

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Most squirrels are pretty friendly, You just need to know how to talk to them. In their own language.

Re: video; un: yakyuu.luvr

[partiallysquirrelblood]

If they tried I'd probably just kick their butts.

[wingedman]

Hey, man, if you own it, it's fine with me. So does that mean you have like...squirrel powers or something? Like Spider-Man?

Were you bitten by a radioactive squirrel? [How does a squirrel become irradiated? (How does a spider become irradiated?)]

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Proportional strength, speed and agility of a squirrel. Plus the senses, claws, a pretty awesome tail if I do say so myself, understanding squirrel language, and I can sort of chew through solid steel.

Also no. My mom was though. And she was exposed to cosmic rays in a forest, accidentally dosed with experimental nut serum, and then there was this whole thing with a radioactive tree? It was a pretty eventful nine months.

[11calls]

Oh, I'm afraid I don't know how to do that.

[Or if that's a thing in her world. It's not really.]

But hi anyway. I'm Alex.

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Yeah, I'm kind of the only person I knw who does it naturally? But I've taught a few people how.

Nice to meet you Alex!

[11calls]

You too, Doreen!

You can teach people how to speak squirrel?

[Look that sounds cool and way better than trying to learn to read cruciforms.]

[ Dorian actually watches this video feed for a moment before speaking. He looks very confused. ]

Is that a moniker you've chosen for yourself?

Re: video

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Yeah. I'm part squirrel. It's kind of my whole deal. Well, not my whole deal? No one thing should be anyone's whole deal, but it is a significant part of my deal.

video

[tevinteraltus]

You're part-

[ He pinches the bridge of his nose before continuing. ]

Of course you are. Why "unbeatable", though?

Re: video

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Why not "unbeatable"? It's a pretty accurate summation of my ability not to be beaten.

video

[tevinteraltus]

In what, precisely? I find it unlikely you're unbeatable at everything. How are you at cheese? Cards?

...trivia?

Re: video

[partiallysquirrelblood]

Dude, I think you might be putting too much thought into it? I fight crime, and supervillains. and occasionally cosmic entities from beyond the stars. It's not really an all-encompassing unbeatability, it's mostly just for that stuff.

video

[tevinteraltus]

I rather think the opposite is apparent. Perhaps "The Indomitable Squirrel Girl" would have been more accurate.

[ But he waves a hand flippantly, as though that is hardly the point of this conversation. ]

I am Dorian Pavus, of no other name, and I'll not contest...Tippy-Toe is a rather remarkable squirrel.

[ She's a squirrel, after all. There isn't much of a bar there. ]
