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]

[Liz may have intimacy issues and is also a virgin, but this seems like it could be good for a laugh. So hey, she'll bite.]

There have been a couple of guys that were curious about me burning them. [Which was a quick sign for her to dump them then and there, but yeah.]

[He takes a while to answer to her, it's not until he's actually in front of the computer that he can talk to her.

At least this means he's had time to calm down and stop being flustered.

Do I even want to know what brought this on?

What exactly is an AI?

[Explain how this relates please? Because, York, you're talking about them being in people which sounds like an aide d'amour, but she's never heard of those making people smarter.]

[And even though she can't hear him back, she can rest assured he will reply with a 'love you, too'. Even though he'll make sure to keep his superhearing out of the rest of the conversation in case Lois decides to have fun with Steph's questions and answer them...]

And this computer person is...inserted?

[Sounding kinda sexual, here.]

Yeah, I mean, it was originally to make all of us better at fighting but it's basically like having-- I dunno. For me, it's like havin' my best friend in my head all the time, but it uh, didn't work out quite so well for everyone.

[This is so beyond a woman whose only just gotten to understand basically how to use this computer in the last month.

They don't have electricity in Terre d'Ange so it's a bit. Crazy. Magic-y. Or something.]


And you have this person in you now? And you're asserting it could make you better at things besides fighting?

[Skepticism, go.]

Put me down. I'm not a kid, and it's just sex. [WHY IS EVERYONE SO UP IN ARMS.] I already know about it, and babies and menstruation.

[EYEROLL.] How old do you think I am anyway?

Jesus! Steph, what the hell?

[because yeah he's totally taking that the wrong way. there's pretty much no denying the hurt in his tone, even if it's manifesting as Teenaged Boy Anger.]

[his expression drops and for a few seconds because oh shit, he didn't realise she could see this. He probably wouldn't have said it if he thought she could. And the way that she says that? What is he supposed to say?]
