Good morning Keeliai, how are we all today?

[Steph is sitting at her console, leaning back in her chair with her legs propped up on the desk. She's smiling, and for those that know her, it's the sort of smile that should be extremely concerning. Those that don't know her may also be feeling like they're about to hear something they don't want to.

She is going to be a terrible person today.]


I'm going to preface this message by saying that anyone under the age of 16, or whatever the age of legality is where you're from, should tune out now, please and thank you. I'm not gonna be explicit or anything, but it's probably not going to be appropriate for kids. [she gives a pointed look, yes you, Damian, switch off the computer now.]

I was taking an anthropology class back home, and my professor happens to be here too. [she wrinkles her nose, like yes, I know that's super weird, how do you think I feel?] And he's been giving me assignments and stuff, because apparently being kidnapped by a giant turtle isn't a valid excuse not to keep up with coursework. The topic we'd been studying before I got brought here was human sexuality, and Professor Craig suggested I write a paper on kedan sexuality instead. [Hi Bruce.] Except, uh, after the last couple weeks, I'm not really keen on that idea.

But I have been thinking about all these people with superpowers running around, and like - we've got comics back home, right? But they tend to focus on the whole defeating supervillains and stopping alien invasions side of things, which is great, sure, I love a good action story, but there's something that just never really comes up.

[she looks directly at the camera, the very picture of scientific curiosity] Do they - or, do you, for the superpowered people in the audience - ever use their powers for sex? This isn't a rhetorical question, by the way, if you have used your powers in the bedroom, feel free to share with the class.

And in the interest of not excluding anyone from the conversation, anyone who's just a regular old human, or whathaveyou, you can discuss what sort of powers you'd like to have, and how you'd use them to impress the gender-of-your-preference.

Don't feel like you have to respond directly to me, you're more than welcome to talk amongst yourselves. I figured we could use a little lighthearted chat to take our minds off the situation. Don't you agree?

[She winks, clearly trying not to laugh, and sits back in her chair to wait for responses]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in your universe, so you should be fine.

I guess--I guess I always figured dying was something that happened to other people.

[She shrugs.]
memoriesinsmoke: (unusually pleasant)

Come on, H.B.

You can tell her all about all the cats we keep back at the Bureau. [Because they are all forever alone.]

[Whoops blushing a lot. Now she really hopes Sokka doesn't see this.]

Oh, I... um. I don't know if... should I be doing any of that if I'm dead?

What flavor do you want?

[ slight... awkward pause. but it's not over the b thing surprisingly. ] Would that be cheating if there's a cute, squishy boy back home that I have a complicated potential relationship with?
histruename: (You don't say)

[video]

[personal profile] histruename 2012-09-22 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Cats. Who needs friends when you can have a bunch of mangy furballs running around instead? People... all they ever do is talk.

[...]

You know, maybe you're on to something.

[... Pfft.]

It's a joke, Hellboy. Besides, I've always been more of a dog person.
histruename: (Yeah)

[personal profile] histruename 2012-09-22 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever floats your boat, kid. But you might be giving people the wrong idea.

We kissed and I told him I'd like to go on a real date. [ p... ause... ] Uh. His name is Querl Dox, but pretty much everyone calls him Brainy.
memoriesinsmoke: (neutral)

I'm sure there are other career choices that don't have it listed as a requirement.

I know. [He's just grouchy. He heard what you said about those bastards wanting you to burn them. God damn.

He could bring it up, but instead all he says is:]
I hate cats.

[Cats = witches in his mind anyway.]

He's the Legion guy. [ oh good. she doesn't have to explain the from the future, descendant of my enemy awkwardness. ]

I'm... not sure if I would be. I guess I'll just take life as it comes and if there ends up being a guy here, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
memoriesinsmoke: (greeeeat)

They're not so bad when they aren't trying to kill people. [She associates them with witches, too, man. They really need to stop picking cats as their familiars.]
lunargoodness: (hesitant)

[personal profile] lunargoodness 2012-09-22 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's just... [She likes Sokka, but she's not sure either of them would be ready for anything like that. And then there's the issue of... well. Everything else.]

Hahn, my betrothed... he isn't here. [She doesn't sound like she's very fond of the idea of starting a family with him, though.]
histruename: (Okay)

[video]

[personal profile] histruename 2012-09-22 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Even when they aren't trying to kill people, he's been traumatized by the time he accidentally squashed somebody's pet thinking it was a familiar. Witches ruin everything, man.]

Guess I haven't met enough that weren't.
memoriesinsmoke: (eyeroll)

audio NOW WITH THE RIGHT ACCOUNT

In that case, good luck to you.
