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]

[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.]

I- no, he's not inside my head now. But yeah, he made me better all around.

[She doesn't question whether or not he feels the loss now, considering he's described the entity as a best friend who made him better. Still, she has to wonder, even if he's not currently wearing his heart on his sleeve about the matter.]

I see. I can't say that we have anything like that where I'm from, but it sounds interesting.

[ He misses him more than anything, but he swallows that back for a faint smile instead. ]

It's-- weird, maybe, but it's a good thing for the two of us.

[She notices that, being perceptive though not always tactful.]

I will have to take your word for it, though I imagine you do quite well enough on your own as well.

I make do.

[ Nothing perfect, nothing like how it was with Delta there every step of the way, but he makes do, and he's alive. That's enough for the time being. ]

And without anything resembling superpowers?

[Yep, taking this back to the original conversation point.]

Nothin' at all, anymore. I've got armor, which protects me from a fair bit, but no super powers.

Then it appears our group is that much larger than I had thought.

Those of us without superpowers.

[She shrugs. It's nothing of consequence, just something she's noting.]
