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]

Eh, electricity's not really my kink. [Lois shrugs a little.] That was a-- particularly bizarre time period for us. Besides, when he was solid and not in the damn containment suit he didn't actually have superpowers. It doesn't really apply.

[Biting her lip--an oddly visible hesitation for the normally self-assured reporter--she seems to be weighing her options.] I'm guessing there are conversations I'm not seeing. Are any of them with someone actually in the position I am?

[Namely, the vanilla human with years of stable, loving, incredibly healthy relationship experience with a superpowered partner.]

Well... I was a princess, before I was brought here. So it was expected of me to produce an heir after I got married. [Which meant sex would have to happen.]

[Lois stares for a moment, then actually facepalms. Just barely audibly:] Not my shtick, and we are talking later. [Too bad Clark stopped listening in.]

Clark's issues are another discussion, and one between him and me.

Relevant, I promise: your boy's electricity, is it a 'must control at all times or bad things happen' type, a 'must control under unrelated stress' type, or 'only need to control when consciously activated' type?

I prefer the term realistic.

[ :\ ] It makes sense, I guess. It still sucks.

...no offense to your home or anything, just. [ Shrug. ] Just because you're a princess doesn't mean you're not a person too. You should still get a choice about that sort of thing.

[Lois kind of suspects Steph can hold her own. But either way, she and Clark are talking, because there are pretty constant issues Clark has. Someone needs to rein him in.

She listens quietly, however, nodding slightly and almost absently at the 'extra factors.' Of course there are going to be things Steph won't discuss with her--and frankly, that's fine with Lois. Playing shrink for teens with superpowers (and Bat-training counts) is really, really not how she wants to spend her life.

She's still the only one with perspective.]


Okay, your life got easier already, trust me. Does he know about what happened to you?

[Favrielle seems unconcerned.]

They have several brothels situated in the Fire sector. I imagine that classes are not likely to offend many.

[Small shrug.]

A small group might be best for a trial, regardless. I have a great deal of other work I've taken on recently.

They know I'm a person. [A little bit miffed at that.] It's just... complicated.

[Not really, but Yue is starting to get sick of everybody ragging on her culture.]

[Lois is far too familiar with that expression. She's had those talks. They never go well.]

Sounds like a pretty decent kid, at least for working out this stuff.

Honestly? You're fine. It's just like non-superpowered dangerous kink. It's more difficult when you've got a guy who has to stay in control or someone dies, or gets seriously hurt at least. The paranoia can be hard to break. [She sounds vaguely impatient.]
