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]
histruename: (Irritated)

I know. [He's just grouchy. He heard what you said about those bastards wanting you to burn them. God damn.

He could bring it up, but instead all he says is:]
I hate cats.

[Cats = witches in his mind anyway.]
memoriesinsmoke: (greeeeat)

[personal profile] memoriesinsmoke 2012-09-22 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
They're not so bad when they aren't trying to kill people. [She associates them with witches, too, man. They really need to stop picking cats as their familiars.]
histruename: (Okay)

[video]

[personal profile] histruename 2012-09-22 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Even when they aren't trying to kill people, he's been traumatized by the time he accidentally squashed somebody's pet thinking it was a familiar. Witches ruin everything, man.]

Guess I haven't met enough that weren't.
memoriesinsmoke: (distracted)

[personal profile] memoriesinsmoke 2012-09-22 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
I've met a few that weren't so bad. [She hasn't really spent any time with Panya's new cat... but she looked cute enough.]
histruename: (Interested)

[personal profile] histruename 2012-09-22 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take your word for it then.
memoriesinsmoke: (uneasy)

[personal profile] memoriesinsmoke 2012-09-22 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[... Okay, she's just going to go ahead and slap a filter on this.]

[90% Private]

You okay?
histruename: (Neutral/serious)

[personal profile] histruename 2012-09-22 10:02 am (UTC)(link)
[90% Private]

Sure.

[But he's not okay. He hasn't been okay. Today's been one of his bad days, but that thing Liz said to that girl about the burning... well, that just pissed him off.]
memoriesinsmoke: (annoyed)

[Yeah, you are so not okay.]

Hellboy. [Liz is having none of your broody crap right now.]

I'm not talking about it over this thing.

[Or at all, if he can swing it.]

You in your suite? [Because regardless of whether or not they end up talking about this, it sounds like he could use some company.]

And should I bring liquor?
histruename: (Okay)

[video] 90% private

[personal profile] histruename 2012-09-22 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. If you want. [To both questions. Liz, you're too damn good to him.] But I can't say I'll be much company.
memoriesinsmoke: (neutral)

Never bothered me before.

I'll be there soon.
