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]

[What are comics??

Sigh, Bruce, why is this such an awkward thing for you? You are a grown man. You are older than Favrielle. She would think you would not be so uncomfortable.]


Pardon?

[You'll have to explain yourself more clearly.]
hulk: (Man that Chinese isn't sitting right.)

[ His childhood, okay.

And he's awkward because he's awkward with. Everything. Just more so with this.

This isn't a topic that... You know. Needs talking about. At all. Th- It's. Privacy is a thing, or. Should be.
hulk: (The subway looks better all the time.)

I didn't say you were!
hulk: (Well,I was looking kind of grubby.)

[personal profile] hulk 2012-09-22 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I was j- Only insofar as my reply to Miss Eglantine. Th- I wasn't, all right.
hulk: (Recipe for disaster.)

[ This whole post has been an exercise in Steph finding new trollbait. That's it, isn't it. ]

I wasn't. Accusing. Anybody. Of anything.
hulk: (Goddamn it,Stark.)

....Incrementally. Maybe.
hulk: (He wants me to be more heroic.)

I prefer the term realistic.

No, of course not.

I do hope you are not attempting to imply that those of us who are talking about such things are somehow wrong to do so?

[Because if so there will be words, Bruce.]
hulk: (Had to go - I had no choice.)

N- Of course, th- People can, you know. Go and... Up to them, I was j- [ jaskdufau;io3fklmadsiluf78y9asofkl,mewlahsehf;oialkwef can he just disappear why did he answer at all he could have just scrolled what is wrong with himmmmmmm ]

Good, I'm pleased to hear it.

[And Bruce, she'll just...let it go at that. Stephanie has jumped in after all, saying no one should be forced, and she's made him uncomfortable enough for one day.]
hulk: (Sneaky. Very,very sneaky.)

[personal profile] hulk 2012-09-22 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-yes, ma'am.
