Who: Kitty and all the people of fleet!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Windrose if you want
When: At some point before the masquerade

We have a masquerade coming up, and I was bored so I thought I'd mettle in people's lives for my own amusement. First, the disclaimer, there is nothing wrong with going to a dance solo.

Now, for anyone else, who wants a date?

Sorry, not me. Taken. But there are probably some of you out there thinking a date would be fun, and sure, why not? So speak up. Let's make some love connections. Or, you know, awkward dancing connections. I'm a mutant, not a miracle worker.

(OOC: Please feel free to threadjack.)

...Small talk.

[She said it the way someone else might say 'poison.']

[That gets an amused look from Kitty.] I hate small talk too. That stuff doesn't have to be shallow and lame though. But just be you.

Video

[girlverine]

Be me? [Laura shifts.] I...am not someone people usually like.

Video

[passingthrough]

I like you.

Video

[girlverine]

You do not know me.

Video

[passingthrough]

You really know how to sink a tender moment. [Lightly.]

Guess we'll have to work on the knowing.

Video

[girlverine]

Sorry.

[She shifts, clearly uncomfortable.]

You would not want to know.

Laura, I'm not exactly faint of heart. If you lived it I can handle hearing about it. But you also don't have to tell me anything you don't want to. Just don't skip it for my sake.

[girlverine]

It is...very complicated. And if Rockslide is to be believed, very depressing.

[She shrugs.]

Logan claims it does not matter anymore. Who I am. ...Was.

Video

[passingthrough]

[Rockslide?

She might just disagree with Logan there, but she wasn't around for the context.] What do you believe?

Video

[girlverine]

[Laura doesn't answer for a few moments, thinking it over.]

We are what people make us into. And I was made into a monster.

That isn't something that can be left behind.

Video

[passingthrough]

I think who we are is always a little bit who we were and a little bit who we want to be. Or at least shaped by it. Like not being a monster, but always being someone who was once.

Video

[girlverine]

That...would be nice.

[But she's a little too entrenched in her issues to believe it.]

Video

[passingthrough]

Like you said, I don't really know you, but I don't see a monster, Laura.

Video

[girlverine]

Mm. Okay.

I will see you at the dance.

Video

[passingthrough]

See you there.
