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?]

[ 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.
voice;
[The idea of having a back-up bender is awesome, though.]
And hey, we'd welcome the help. I could keep a spare glass of water handy for freezing any interlopers.
voice;
...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.
voice;
voice;
So, do you fit into one of those groups?
voice;
[Did he not indicate that?]
voice;
Yeah? You got a special someone? [ She kind of gets that vibe. ]
voice; I cry for the lost mock-flirty threads of yesterday
[It is kind of a loud vibe, eh-heh.]
His name's Teddy. He's actually here with me.
voice; now they will never be
You're a pretty lucky guy, then.
voice; FUN WHILE IT LASTED
voice;
I can imagine.
voice;
What about you? Do you have anyone special, here or back home?
voice;
Sort of, I guess. I mean, there's someone I like, but he's kind of off limits at the moment.
[ That hadn't stopped her from kissing him. But she'd set aside those feelings for the tournament. ]
voice;
[He totally understands- that sort of thing spans across all genders and sexualities. Or cultures, for that matter.]
voice;
[ u feel me ]
voice;
He's liking this already.]
Ouch, it sounds rough to be that popular.
voice;
It sure is. You're the Avatar, and everyone wants to be your boyfriend. [ Teasing aside: ] Anyway, I guess it doesn't matter too much now. He's not here, and who knows if I'll see him anytime soon.
[ Aaaand Luceti did have it's fair share of cute guys. ]
voice;
You could always find yourself a great guy while you're here.
voice;
voice;
I guess so, yeah. But if you meet the right person, I think he's still worth giving it a shot.

That way you can try a real date with someone you liked, who liked you, without having to deal with any awkward rejections on either side.
voice;
That sounds totally great! Do they ever do that around here?
