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]

video; open to threadjacking!
She starts a video response, in part because Stephanie has made her inquiry as such and Favrielle would reply in kind, and also because with a lack of shame on the topic, there's no reason to hide her face. Scar or otherwise.]
As someone who lacks these superpowers you speak of, I find most people are ignorant to just how much they can do without. With the proper training or texts they may find a whole new world open up to them.
[Listen to the woman from the world with a legal and social acceptance of religiously affiliated prostitution, everyone.]
There are techniques and acts which it seems most are unaware even exist or can be done. The scope of their imagination simply doesn't extend that far.

Man, if there were some kind of sex training classes I would've signed pretty much all my ex-boyfriends up for them.
[What?]

[he might sound a little smug about that.]

It's complicated.]
Hey, just stating the obvious over here.

What am I going to do with you?
[hint: it probably involves padded cuffs]

[And then padded cuffs.]

[joking but also... oddly serious? she actually would like to play something for him.]

[He tilts his head. He caught that-- thing. Whatever it was.]
I'll look into it?

Everyone always thinks that but there is always more to learn.

Only if you can promise not to waste my time.
[Because lessons are a thing that can and will happen, meaning written texts to read, lectures to listen to, etc.]
video;
video;
[Sniff.]
And if you actually wish to be taught you'll cease with the endearments.
video;
Well if you find any current companions in need of instruction you might send them my way. Classes could be arranged, perhaps.
video;
That's a very generous offer. If I don't send people your way, I'm sure others might be interested.
video;
They might. It depends entirely on what they would expect out of lessons.
[She is not going to teach everyone by example. That's not done back home when teaching those who one isn't involved with.]
video;
video;
[Yeeeah Favrielle has her doubts about those not native to Terre d'Ange and how they'd handle a live demonstration for the purposes of teaching.]
video;
Probably best to stick with diagrams or something.
video;
[She trails off, trying to think of how to explain.]
Servants of Naamah are trained in such things, but it is considered a sacred art. It's meant to evoke the senses, but it is not meant to be a side show or treated with anything but the utmost respect.
So, without a display of that sort of maturity, yes texts and instruction would have to suffice.
video;
It's a shame, but I can understand why you'd rather not. [She'd like to be able to watch one of those showings] You know what, if you ever do get a class up and running, I might attend.
[She figures she could probably learn a thing or two. It's - been a while, to say the least]
video;
[Fond is understating things a great deal. As time passes, Favrielle feels her homesickness grow in leaps and bounds. At least working as she did back home does something for her, makes it easier to cope.]
But yes, it will all depend on who wishes to learn. [Which means if Steph really wants to see a showing and can prove she'll approach the matter maturely, Favrielle might see it done.] If there's interest in actual lessons, then perhaps I'll see what I can arrange.
