Is it weird to ask for... advice here? I know this is a public forum, so don't feel pressured into answering or anything. I've just been thinking, and has anyone... you know, kind of managed to reform themselves from an awful person? Doesn't matter whether at home or here, I don't care about the details. I'm just curious.

And, I guess this is my real question, but after you stopped being awful, did the people you were awful to forgive you? Or did they just not want to see you ever again? Were you able to become friends?

Sorry. I'm just kind of wondering what the usual turnout for this kind of thing is. Guess it depends on the situation.

[A rather cynical looking young woman appears on the screen. She looks very tired. And rather annoyed]

Okay, yea, hi, my name's Velma Martinez, etc, etc. Nice to meet you and all that junk. I'm just going to say upfront that this whole alternate universe thing is such a pain in the ass. I've done it before, and it sucked then, even if it was supposed to be my so-called perfect life. But I passed the whole alternate universe 101 course and I know until I can find a way back there's no real use kicking and screaming.

[She lets out a heavy resigned sigh]

Still fucked up times five million. I'm too tired for that shit.

Anyway, anyone I can maybe like go out to coffee with or whatever who can give me a real idea of this place? I've done the whole "registered hero" thing and I know those doing the whole registering thing rarely actually tell people the people they're registering the real story. In person only though.

Or I could hike up to the North Pole and see if this universe's Santa Claus wants to give me a job.

[A pause]

You all do have Santa, right? Big fat jolly guy? Gives presents to good little children and stuff? Or like something similar? 'Cause if you don't, this universe sucks.

At the end of February, like a few others, I was [brainwashed into some sort of psychotic monster?] affected by the same things others in the city were.

I have information on the man named Benjamin Braunstein. Well. Insights, more than anything else. For those who might be interested. In exchange, I'm interested in information about Quisma. As well as anything people have managed to put together about the group of heroes that existed before imPorts came through.

[There we go. Short, sweet, to the point, and without any mention of his. Uh. Slight break from sanity before everyone else.]

To those who are new, don't worry. Not only are the Hornets old news, but things like this only tend to happen once every four months.

[It's a joke. He's joking. He's just... not... very good at it.]

Do you think that it's possible for people to be inherently bad? Not all the way, necessarily, but like maybe there's a bigger chance of messing up if you come from something bad, or like you've got some kind of latent seed planted deep that could burst someday.

I don't think that's true, if you look at it objectively. It still makes me really nervous sometimes, though, so I wonder if some part of me thinks it's a real possibility. I can't shake it off, so I get frustrated with myself sometimes.

I'm sure other people must feel like that. I'm sorry if you do.
