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]
littlecousin: (well that was easy)

[She props her head up on one hand.]

You gotta be careful with baseline humans or they could really get hurt.

[RIGHT, CLARK?]
littlecousin: (love)

My boyfriend i-- [she catches herself and suddenly looks depressed] --was a super-human.

It's okay.

[IT'S SO NOT OKAY]

It was just--it's only been a couple of months.
littlecousin: (p. much not buying your bullshit)

I guess--I guess I always figured dying was something that happened to other people.

[She shrugs.]
littlecousin: (v2 isn't going to last a year txt it)

[It's not like death is permanent or anything, but still.]

Yeah. I--

[--really don't know what to say.]

Sorry about taking this conversation someplace so completely depressing.
littlecousin: (my team is idiot boys and firestar)

[Nita's damn near the closest you're going to get, though. She snorts and makes a conscious effort to change the subject.]

...Poor Cap.

[trolololo~]
littlecousin: (saying something bitchy‚ originally)

[personal profile] littlecousin 2012-09-30 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
The idea of anything being able to rattle Cap kinds of weirds me out, truth be told.

[Her Cap's been awake a lot longer, and was never as much of a goody two-shoes as this one.]
littlecousin: (don't die i like you)

Different universe, but yeah. He's an old family friend.

It's...weird.

[Where "weird" is "the last straw and sent her off into a crying fit." Steve felt nice and guilty about that.]
littlecousin: (this place looks sucky)

[Nita blinks. He's the wrong Cap, but he's still Cap.]

Well, yeah. He's Cap.
littlecousin: (hi honey :3)

[video]

[personal profile] littlecousin 2012-10-07 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
How'd you run into him, anyway?

[Nita almost had breakdown on camera and he came to check on her. Awkward.]
littlecousin: (wanna make my ex jealous?)

[video]

[personal profile] littlecousin 2012-10-13 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nita doesn't know about Peggy. Too polite to poke into Steve's love life. Or too polite where Cap is concerned, anyway. Other people aren't likely to get that much courtesy.]

I fed him sashimi at that.

[Nita grins, knowing how most Americans react to raw fish.]
