[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.]

Oh, just filing and the like. It's very boring, actually. I'd rather be working at the high school.

[which was her original job placement...before summer vacation, anyway.]

D'you have a major or anything yet? I've no idea what I'll do when I get to college. [if she gets to college.]

[godly]

That's not uncommon; a lot of students don't know what they want to do when they first attend college, or they'll change their mind completely and try something else.

[...Light wasn't one of those students, though.]

But I've always known what I wanted to do: I'm going to major in Criminal Justice.

[pixiestyx]

Oh my God, that sounds so cool. What kind of stuff is that? Do you get to be a detective?

[godly]

[A light laugh.] Yes, you can be. But, you know, it might not be as glamorous as it sounds; really, my end goal is to join the police force one way or another.

[pixiestyx]

But defending the weak and protecting the innocent and all that, right? Still sounds pretty noble to me.

[godly]

Sure, but I hear that superheroes in this place are used to doing that all the time.

[pixiestyx]

Yeah, but this way you get to wear a cool uniform. And be all, like, "Just the facts, ma'am."

[superhero stuff becomes mundane when you're already a superhero! detectives on the other hand remain way cool.]

[godly]

[He continues to look amused.]

Do detectives really say that, though?
