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?]

My eldest brother is a diplomat. A lot of my family are or have been diplomats and ambassadors. It loses it's novelty quickly.

[He doesn't quite catch that, frowns a little and then gives an awkward smile.]

Sorry, I do occasionally entirely fit the Oxford student stereotype.
abjurer: (We make a great team)

Hey, no shame in finding new things exciting. I'm sure there's stuff that's mundane for you that I'd be thrilled by. The internet for one. Apparently it gets more interesting than just emails.
abjurer: (Genuine amusement)

Are they cute cats? I mean... what kind of cat videos are we talking about here?

... and to think this is military software they released.
abjurer: (Commanding)

I just love knowing all of this technology is being put to good use. Forget insurrection and revolution, we have cat videos.
abjurer: (Wicked)

I was always a dog person myself. My uncle has a cat though. It's a Seer apparently except you wouldn't know it because it's also a pathological liar.

Dogs're pretty good at making you feel better. They don't care. They're always excited.

Although my boyfriend here has dragons and they seem to pretty much fill the same space.
abjurer: (Checking you out)

[Voice]

[personal profile] abjurer 2013-05-31 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, a couple of them. They're babies really and pretty much the cutest things. They're small enough to carry around right now, thankfully, because a lapful of adult dragon is gonna be interesting.
abjurer: (Happy Smile)

[Max has to laugh a little at that. He'd been pretty impressed too when he'd first seen them.]

Take some marshmallows over and they'll be your best friends for life. Or at least until the next person feeds them.

I don't see why not. I mean, Helios sometimes takes them out around town with him so...

Sure thing. Just look for two teacup dragons and the sexy blond guy walking them. Or me. But I'm not blond.

A truly useful life skill, I've found.
