Hey, ah... Vision - I mean, Jonas - of the Young Avengers got sent home. Sorry, if you knew him.

[Why is he always full of bad news? Ugh... let’s try to be less depressing for a while.]

There’s something else I wanted to talk about today: since I got here almost a year ago I’ve noticed how there’s this huge range of cultural norms across the multiverse- which makes sense, different worlds have different standards, I get it. People who are accepted in one world aren’t tolerated in another. Luceti’s kind of an anomaly, where there’s really not much, if any prejudice. I mean, there’s the whole Malnosso versus Us mentality, but that’s because of what they do, not what they are. Basically what I’m saying is that I think that’s great, and I want to do my part to keep encouraging that universal acceptance here for the people who might not be able to get it back where they come from, open up discussions to people who might not be sure about who or what they are, um...

Okay, this is a really roundabout way of saying I want to start an LGBT club. If you don’t know what that means, here’s a breakdown:

[Below is a jotted list-

L = Lesbian = girls attracted to girls
G = Gay = guys attracted to guys
B = Bisexual = guys and girls attracted to BOTH guys and girls
T = Transgender = People who feel like they were born in the body of the wrong gender (or genderfluid)
*Q = Questioning = Anyone not sure about the above or if they apply

And then it returns to voice.]


Those are really oversimplified, and there's still a lot of other words people use to define themselves, but you get the gist of it. I’d really like to meet up with anyone who matches any those descriptions, or feels like they might, or are just curious about it. I’m gonna put up some posters with suggested meeting times and places, but if you have any questions or just want to talk about it, you can use the journal (it’s okay to be anonymous!) or come right to the school. I’ve got a table set up and I’ll be here pretty much all day. I don't know if this is going to go anywhere, but it's worth a shot, right?

One last thing- we’re looking to make this a safe place, so if you plan to come just to make fun of people: we have a Hulk.

[And true to his word, Billy will be at the school, curled up in a chair at a plain table littered with papers. He’s designing posters and doodling various symbols to use for logos. Come bother him if you like?]

I think it's awesome you're setting something up like this. I'm not sure I really fall under any of the above, but if anyone gives you trouble, I'll be happy to shoot them for you. Or help out however you need.

Sorry about your friend being gone, though. That's hard.

I think that would be a pretty safe assumption.

Then again, anyone stupid enough to cause a fuss over this deserves to get lynched.
thisismylife: (Oops?)

Aren't we though? [There's a hint of wry amusement in her voice.] I mean it though. And I think it's really cool you're starting something up like this. If I can do anything to help, let me know, yeah? Even though I don't... really know what goes into one of these things, so I might not be all that much help, honestly.

I'll do that. And maybe I'll swing by and hang out.

Pity the cafe's going to take me at least another month or so of work, otherwise I'd be offering you a location. Good for you, Billy. I'll swing by if I get the chance.

I suppose that's a good point. There might be something I can work in to the renovations in this place to make an area with a little more privacy. I'll keep it in mind. Still, the offer stands.

I'll be sure to let you know if I do.

Huh. I never realized there were distinctions like that.

[ You don't exactly learn this kind of stuff in Avatar training. ]

I don't think I apply, but if you need some extra muscle? I'd be happy to help.

[ Just like there were different styles of bending. Some made more sense for people than others.

...Of course she'd relate it back to bending somehow. ]


I could do some pretty decent work with a glass of water. But a tub is more fun.

Maybe. But it's sure a lot more fun.

So, do you fit into one of those groups?

Yeah? You got a special someone? [ She kind of gets that vibe. ]

Heck, the things I miss when I'm out shamelessly grubbing for points. Though really, I'm sort of amazed that we don't have one of these in place already.[He almost-laughs, a friendly little chuff of a sound.] Anyway, put me on the roster. I'll be glad to join, assuming I'm part of the demographic you're looking for.
250mhzwabl: (not anymore you don't.)

[Voice, May 3rd]

[personal profile] 250mhzwabl 2013-05-07 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I suppose. If I need to bring proof.

[No matter how unenthused the words might seem, Jack's tone is all teasing, even the snap of him on the journal's camera flashing a cheeky grin.]

Of course I will. I'd be betraying the sacred bonds of Elvis Marriage if I didn't, right?
250mhzwabl: (at just the thought of being alive)

[Jack is laughing enough for both of them with that response, the delighted crowing of someone who never quite grew up enough to not find a certain amount of shock and/or dismay hilarious.]

We had to! How often do you get a chance to do something like that?
