[Video] We're a team, right?

[mysicksadlife]

[The first clue something is wrong should really be the bright, downright perky smile. If anyone needs more clues, there's the short skirt. And the pom-poms. That's right, it's a cheerleader. Daria Morgendorffer. (Unfortunately, the change has done nothing about the thick, round glasses or the mousy brown hair that looks like she doesn't bother with styling it at all.)

Daria's been gone for awhile, and all she really knows of recent events is that there was a fight. Which means, although she wouldn't have been caught dead doing this a few days ago, doing what she can to raise morale. The same way she'd do it at school.

Which means a cheer. A real, clapping, pom-pom-waving, cheer.]

Go, Luceti!
The team that can't be beat!
Go, Luceti!
The fastest on your feet!

[She gives just a moment's pause before grinning - yes, Daria grins now - at the feed. She is quite proud of her perfect poetry there.]

((ooc: Definite personality change here. Daria is the cheerleader, which coming from a series of high school stereotypes means she'll be acting perky and a bit airheaded.))

[He hadn't seen her around too often, but she had a much more similar personality to Mai he recalled]

You feeling alright there?

[They could have passed for spiritual twins, really. Right now? Not so much. And after long enough in Luceti, it's probably not too hard to guess why.

Even if Daria herself seems pretty clueless about it at the moment.]

I feel great! [She'll want someone to shoot her once this is all over.] Are you alright? You look sort of weirded out.

[Iroh will blink again at that, this would take a moment to adjust to]

I'm glad to hear it.

Just not used to this...

[He pauses for a second trying to find the right word

-side of you. What brings on the enthusiasm?

[mysicksadlife]

[Blink, blink. To her, this is pretty natural now.]

Everyone's been sad since the big fight, haven't they? So I thought it would be nice if someone tried to cheered things up a little.

[Perhaps the explanation does her credit, even if the method is a bit... much.]

[tea_lover64]

[Well people had different reactions to stress and things]

Yes, I suppose they have. It is a very nice gesture indeed.

[Hey I'm Nine Hundred years old and What Is This?]

I envy your enthusiasm.

[mysicksadlife]

[That is the last quality most people would ever have attributed to Daria Morgendorffer, which will make it awkward when they meet again after it wears off sometime.

For now, though, Daria takes the comment as a compliment. Of course.]

I have to be; I'm on the cheerleading squad. Can you imagine a cheerleader without any pep?

[13sugars]

[It's terrible that this is the first thing he's seeing of her. It's setting him up for some depression later on]

I can honestly say I've never even seen a cheerleader before, actually. They're... not really prolific in Rome.

video

[mysicksadlife]

Rome?

[Wait for it...]

Why aren't you wearing a toga?

[She is going to hate herself incredibly.]

video

[13sugars]

[Okay now he's just going to pick on her forever and save this video for later laugh sessions]

... Er, that's Ancient Rome. A couple thousand of not a few ten thousand years away from my era. Togas are for college parties only.

[dangerouswind]

[Just... staring.]

What?

[mysicksadlife]

[You don't really look like a cheerleader, Temari. Which is fine, but it's totally why you don't understand.]

Um. Hi? I was practicing a cheer. I thought Luceti should have one, don't you?

[What do you mean this is completely not like her?]

[dangerouswind]

I don't even know what that is, but it sounds ridiculous.

[mysicksadlife]

It's not ridiculous. Morale is important! [No, really, wait for Daria to return to normal and she'll completely agree with you, Temari.]

[dangerouswind]

How does that help with morale?

[deadalready]

[He and Daria don't really talk, and as far as he's concerned that's okay. But this is too weird to leave alone, because from what he knows of her - Daria is a lot more like Clove than this...whatever, this is.

And then it occurs to him that it's a mallynap or whatever the Malnosso have been doing to people lately and decides that he's going to enjoy this.]

Wow.

[mysicksadlife]

[They don't, but at the moment that doesn't trouble her at all. She gets to meet someone new! This would not be high on her list of things to do today, normally.]

What? Do you like it? [Apparently she interprets things rather generously, because clearly that 'wow' is positive.]

[deadalready]

Oh yeah it was great!

[No it wasn't, but he wants to have more cheers on record from you so when you normal up he can make fun of you.]

Can you do another?

[mysicksadlife]

Um. I can, but it make take a little while to make it up. I can show you it when it's done! [Don't worry, it'll still be in time for plenty of later mocking.]

[deadalready]

Take your time, by all means!

[Oh this is going to be so worth it.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

[And Quinn will stare. Amusement? Shock? Horror? Confusion?

Maybe all of the above.]

...what are you wearing?

[That's all she can think of to ask. Her mind is just that blown.]

[mysicksadlife]

[Blink blink. Daria can't think what's possibly wrong.]

My cheerleading uniform!

[video]

[cuteisawayoflife]

You're not a cheerleader! [And you don't smile unless someone falls down and breaks their leg, either. And you don't wave pompoms. DARIA YOU'RE FREAKING HER OUT.]

[video]

[mysicksadlife]

Of course I am or I couldn't have the pom-poms! [Somehow this makes logical sense in current Daria-land. Also, is that a squeak in her voice?]

Re: [video]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Where did you get pom-poms?! Why did you get them?! What is this?!
