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?]

[ she's underselling. it's the summers way. ]

A few caramelish highlights. At most. That's my verdict.

And I should hope I don't have to warn you away from the devil's work that is frosted tips. Please tell me those have gone way out of style.

Thanks, Billy. For...for not just the most recent compliment, although that was also very sweet. But thanks for everything. For...being talked at so patiently.

...I think you'll do a lot of good with it, no matter how you downplay is magnitude. We live in a weird place -- some people can be so progressive and others come from worlds where...God, some of them look at me like I'm demonic just for wearing a tank top in public. Some gentle positive education wouldn't go amiss.

...I guess the culture shock has gotta be maddening, for some of them. Especially the old timers.

Did you know that it used to be worse? When I first got here, we didn't have electricity.

It was...a learning curve. But I can't begin to tell you how awesome that first post-shower hair drying sesh was, once we did have the juice.

Microwaves, then. Boom boxes. Electric heat. All of it was a treat when it finally came 'round.

Ah. Computers. I'm not so big into those. I've not bothered to pick one up, so to speak.

[ ...she peers at it. ]

I kinda think it would give me a headache. Dawn just got me on board the texting train before I got here. And that was a long time ago.
