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]

[Lois can guess, at least, about the gang war stuff. After all, without any other context, that's the Traumatic Event she's heard about, but it might make sense, at least.

She listens in silence, face a little troubled. She's no stranger to traumatic events--nor to taking refuge in physical comfort, for that matter. There's a logic to it. Even so, the kind of power leaves her a little leery--but that isn't actually what's top of her 'you might want to think about this' list.]


Mmm. You want an honest opinion? I can promise it won't be a knee-jerk freak out, like I'm sure you'll get from some quarter, but I can't promise you'll like it, either.

First of all, standard line about consenting adults. Kick anyone who says otherwise, then let me have a crack.

[Deep breath. This is the part Steph probably won't like.]

His specific talent worries me, but it's no more dangerous than superstrength or heat vision could be, so it's a bit hypocritical of me to say anything.

Me, I don't think I'd be able to trust anyone I'd known only a few weeks with something like that. Generally that's the sort of thing you want to build up to. Not everyone is like that, but... especially with your history? I wouldn't be rushing into things.

On a lighter note, taking time to savor things and pace the spice? Makes it sweeter.

[ She laughs, running a hand awkwardly through her hair. ] Yeeeaaah, probably. I guess I've just never been really very good at that, for some reason.

Oh. That actually sounds really cool. For- for fighting, I mean...

Not that... other uses aren't... yeah.

[ She clears her throat a little awkwardly. ]

Could show you. [Her eyes go wide.]

I mean - fighting.

Yeah, that's... that's probably the best way to look at things. Not like being dead is keeping us from getting hurt or dying again or anything else, right? The good things better be on the table too.

Can't give you one, sorry. Nice try though.

[Oh man, he's actually leaning over the keyboard in the café in a gigglefit, so the reply comes a little later.]

Oh I knew it!

[personal profile] myothertights 2012-09-24 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope. Just means we'll have to play it up some more.
