..."scream queen", really? i am unsure whether i should be flattered or scandalized.

You could meet it down the middle! Call it "Flanderized."

...wait, no, that doesn't work.

[killervocabulary]

no, i'm afraid making up words doesn't work at all.

[ghost_shield]

Actually it's not -- on second thought, yeah, it is, sorry. Still, I guess there are worse reason to be recognized. But... why "scream queen?"

[killervocabulary]

i believe that nickname was spawned from some misuse of particular skills while i was under the influence of the jack frosts.

[ghost_shield]

Something to do with screaming, then? Sounds like an interesting ability.

[killervocabulary]

shouting, actually, but i suppose "shout queen" doesn't have quite the same ring.

[That, and there's no way the tabloid writers would know about it.]

[ghost_shield]

Doesn't rhyme as well, at least.

[killervocabulary]

i suppose it doesn't, but it matters little in the scheme of things. even in other worlds, gossip persists.

[ghost_shield]

Guess you'll just have to make the most of it for now!

...

Or wear a hat.

[killervocabulary]

...a hat? i'm afraid i don't understand the reasoning.

[ghost_shield]

Um, well, since they say the best disguises are the simplest ones and all.

[killervocabulary]

i'll stick with making the most of it, i believe. deception has never been a strength of mine.

[ghost_shield]

Eh. Just a suggestion. If nothing else, maybe you can just shout off the really obnoxious ones.

[killervocabulary]

Hopefully such displays of force won't be necessary, but unfortunately some situations demand it.

[ghost_shield]

Eh. We can't all be charlatans and conmen.
