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?]

No, I'm not. It tends to surprise people because I look like one, but I'm actually a summon spirit. It's kind of like my world's version of the Filial Spirits here, if that makes any sense.
knightofratatosk: (OMG yay)

You really think so?

[Even though he knows that most of the people here aren't like the ones back home, it's still always nice to receive a positive response to this.]
knightofratatosk: (Ehehehehe...)

I dunno, I feel like most of the company around here is pretty interesting. It's more unusual to come across someone who is completely normal.
knightofratatosk: (Smile)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-09 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad. The people back in my world weren't as nice about it, and they didn't even know that I wasn't human.
knightofratatosk: (Sorrow)

[Voice]

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-11 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. They called me a monster, but I don't think they thought I actually was one. Not that I am a monster, but you know what I mean.
knightofratatosk: (Unsure)

Not to me either. I guess... I guess people are just scared of things they don't understand. It's easier to yell at something than it is to try to understand it.
knightofratatosk: (Smile)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-20 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
And not everyone is like that... not the people here, at least. They're a lot nicer than the ones back in my town. No one here has blamed me for anything that wasn't my fault.
knightofratatosk: (Side view)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-24 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
It really makes you wonder why that is. I mean, I'm sure not everyone here got bullied back in their own worlds.
knightofratatosk: (Not sure about this)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-25 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I never thought about it that way-- that they did it on purpose. That's... a little scary. I wonder what those other enclosures are like...?
knightofratatosk: (Oops)

[Voice/Locked]

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-27 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think I'm glad I wasn't sent on that draft... that sounds way too creepy for me.
knightofratatosk: (Droopy)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-06-30 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
At least we didn't end up in any of those enclosures.
knightofratatosk: (Sunrise)

[personal profile] knightofratatosk 2013-07-04 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It doesn't seem fair at all for us to have all of these nice things and for them to get nothing at all, but I guess that's probably what the Malnosso want. It wouldn't be much of an experiment if all of the enclosures were exactly the same.

[He knows enough about the scientific method to know that much.]
