Video; In which cold weather is clearly the best!
[Everyone gets to see two familiar faces this time, with a couple of twists. Dick (the elder) is sitting down in the chair, wearing a bright red coat with white trim, a hat of the same color, and of course, a beard to match the whole thing. It’s pulled down, though, so you can see his face. And his wonderful assistant, Zatanna, is standing behind him, dressed up like the most beautiful elf there is. They’re both looking pretty happy about this.]
It’s getting cold out! And what does cold mean? Holiday fun, of course. So I, and my amazing elf assistant here, have decided that Santa Claus needs to come to the turtle. [See what he did there? See it? Okay, good.]
And so it is with pleasure that we let everyone know-- [He gets cut off as Zatanna leans forward, and he looks up at her.]
[The fifteen-year-old elf bends down until she's level with his ear, covering her mouth so she could whisper something secretively to him.]
Really?
[She nods, and offers a playful wink.] Trust me. I know a guy who knows the guy personally.
[Dick looks back at the screen, and his voice drops into a perfect, heavy Russian accent.] Is this better?
[She practically has to bite her tongue to keep from bursting out laughing. Impressive. She should've known.] It'll do.
[Dick grins.] I’d like to invite everyone to come over to the Wood sector, where we have a little holiday party going on.
[He stops, laughing and shaking his head. He has to drop the Russian accent.] Okay, I can’t keep that one up, but I tried! Anyway, we’ve got a small thing going on in a café in the Wood sector, with some cakes and gingerbread-ish things, and some hot drinks. And what would Santa be without his...
[He holds up a huge, red velvet-like bag.] Bag, yes! And it is filled with little odds and ends, so there are presents for all!
[Dick sets the bag down, and pulls the beard back up with a grin.] And to all, a good... day? Yeah, that still works. To all, a good day! Remember, café in the Wood sector, we’ll be here awhile!
[ooc: Action is absolutely welcome.]

[ action ]
Is that...a good thing or a bad thing?
[ action ]
I'm proud to be a mutant. [Mutant and proud, blah blah blah] But others aren't proud of me.
[ action ]
Yeah, I know the feeling.
It's like when some people think they're original in calling me a 'witch'. Like I was thrilled to have my powers.
[ action ]
It's not like it's something any of us chose. I'm sure you didn't, either.
[ action ]
You're right about me not choosing my powers. I was born with them. Inherited from both parents. But...at the same time...if I could go back and choose them? No contest.
[ action ]
[ action ]
I thought mutants were just like most metahumans. Born with their powers.
[Except in cases like Wally, who literally science-ed up his super speed, but he was a special case.]
[ action ]
[She's not going to go into the knowing stuff details. That was just super messy, and not necessary right now.]
[ action ]
[And she gets it. Her bad.]
It must be nice to be here on the Turtle, then. All the locals are basically like us, too. Shapeshifters.
Re: [ action ]
Yeah. I gotta say, that's a nice change from being an endangered species.
[ action ]
I know what you mean, though. Metahumans aren't exactly rare, but I've never felt like a majority before. It's a strange feeling.
[ action ]
[ action ]
Plus, you can't really lump all of them together. I mean, some of the people with powers back home got them from being part of a different species or world.
[ action ]
Just don't ask about X-Factor. Pretend it's Fight Club or something.]
Unfortunately, that doesn't stop people from lumping regardless.
[ action ]
My mom and dad [And, by genetics, her as well] were technically more homo magi than metahuman...but, honestly, I don't really mind the lumping so much. There's nothing wrong with being either.
[ action ]
[ action ]
Slightly less braggy, for one.

Everything else aside, of course.
no subject
I mean, I get the feeling that our words are more than a little different...but what could they find so bad about mutants besides the whole having powers thing?
no subject
But I've lived to see history repeat itself, and I don't want it to come to that.
It's that the powers are random, and some people will use theirs for evil. They don't get the great powers, great responsibility thing.
no subject
...although, come to think of it, I'm not really sure I like the notion of being labeled not human. We are. We're just...different.
no subject
But I like that reasoning. A lot. Unfortunately, mutants are definitely a different species.
