[THE SCENE: megan's room, which is decorated tastefully in floral patterns and pastels, almost making up for the fact that it is also a total disaster area. megan herself is standing in the middle, in view from the waist up--the comm seems to be resting on a desk.
there is a few seconds before megan does anything, apparently not having realized the broadcast has started. then she smiles, claps her hands together, and bounces on her heels a little bit, her wings fluttering in unison.]
Um, hello, Network! Omigod, this is my first post, isn't it? Well, hello, my name's Megan. Or Pixie, if we're being professional.
[she gives a small wave before continuing. her accent's some kind of british (welsh, for those who can tell).]
I don't know about you, but I thought paintball ended up being kind of rubbish! And I know there are a lot of people about my age around here, sooo, I was thinking, why don't we go have some fun for once? Like, a group outing, or something. I haven't been downtown too much yet, but there has to be some good clubs around, right?
Or we could go to the movies, or anything people would like to do. I just thought it might be nice to blow off some steam and hang out, considering everything that's been happening. What with the fake bodily injuries and crazy robots and all.
So, if you're interested, let me know and we can figure out what we're doing and when. Since it's summer, any day of the week should work, right? (Er, this place doesn't have a curfew, does it?)
Don't worry if we don't know each other, everyone's welcome, and maybe this way we can all meet new people! Anyway, that's all, carry on.
[she gives another little wave and the feed cuts.]
TEXT ADDENDUM, dated a few hours later: since the swearing ins this weekend im thinking well shoot for wednesday evening unless someone has an objection. we can meet in the park and figure out the way from there! see you then (/^▽^)/
[OOC: the intended result of this post is a semi-open everybody-hits-the-town log that I'll probably put up at some point in the next week. I'm trying to keep the specifics flexible. If you want to participate you can either have your character ICly RSVP to this post or just gatecrash the log, either's good.]

But even with that, people seem to be pretty cool with superhumans here. It's a nice change.
video
We don't have cars at all. Just carriages and horses.
video
What, like--you're from the past? Like the 1800s or something?
video
It's the year 850.
video
W-what?
But...they didn't have carriages in 850, did they? That was, like, Romans or something. Well, I guess they had chariots...
[it is hard to get a formal education when your school is constantly getting blown up, who'da thunk.]
video
Maybe they used to have them?
video
Um...I think this might be, like, one of those weird alternate universe things. Because the Romans were huge, I think, so you probably should have heard of them? I don't know, this whole thing is stupid. And it doesn't matter, anyway.
I mean, regardless of what year it is, your world is definitely way more different from this one than mine is, right? And all technologically undeveloped and whatever. That's all we need to know, the end.
[FUCK HISTORY LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT]
video
video
Really?
Um...what happened?
[is there a socially acceptable way to ask that?]
video
[ In spite of how far she's come and what she's seen, there's still traces of horror in her voice as she tries to explain her world's history to Megan. ]
They're giant man eating monsters who devoured most of humanity.
video
video
[ She takes in a deep breath. ]
The population built walls to protect themselves from the titans. That's why I... a lot of us have never seen what the world is like beyond the walls. It might have been similar to this one once.
video
[she's silent for a moment.]
Um...I'm really sorry.
video
She's quick to lift both her hands anyway, waving them side to side apologetically. ]
It's okay! Well, I mean, it's not really okay? But it's not your fault! You don't have to apologize for anything.
video
[another pause.]
You know, a lot of friends of mine were killed, too.
video
[ Meaning people around Megan's age. Immediately, she feels a great amount of sympathy toward the other girl. ]
What happened?
video
[she honestly sounds more tired than sad.]
So I think I know a bit how that must feel. Like you're stuck to one place and everywhere else beyond it is against you. And all you can really do is try to defend yourself the best you can and hope it ends someday.
video
[ It's not an exclamation nor laced with resentment or anger. She's horrified to hear something like that. It's depressing as well to realize in other universes people are still outcast for being different.
... But then she wonders if she's in that thick of that regarding the titan shifters. They're technically her enemies. It's possible they may be set out to kill them someday. ]
Yes, we are. [ A pause. ] But I've also learned that if you can't defend yourself, that's okay, too. If you keep going, you'll be able to meet someone who will come to your rescue.
video
then she looks up to meet sasha's eyes and smiles, if a bit weakly.]
Guess we have more in common than we though, huh? And I don't think we even introduced ourselves yet.
video
I'm Sasha. Sasha Blouse!
