Video | Fresh meat

Who: Mon-El
Broadcast: Video
Action: Marsiva if you're new too!
When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

Hi Mike. [he'll play along, you smooth criminal] There's plenty of people listening, I'm afraid.

If you know Winn, I take it you know Kara as well?

Hi. I know them both, but they don't remember me. [Smiling to hide the pain. Tiny violin!] And according to basically everyone it sounds like I can go by my real name here. What's yours?

Ah, it's one of those situations. [he sounds sympathetic, at least] Are you sure? My name is Hank.

No? But I wasn't really the one who was ever worried about it. And the people who were don't remember being worried about it so, I might as well be me.

Good to meet you, Hank. Are you from Earth?

Well, if you're okay with it, I'll call you by your real name.

It's good to meet you, too. And I am, yes - though it isn't the Earth you're familiar with.

It sounds like you know more about it than me. What's different?

I wouldn't go that far - though, it's 1983 where I'm from right now, to start. We don't have aliens, either.

—well. As far as we know.

Apparently, a lot of us try to stay hidden.

That's what mutants did in my world, until a few years ago.

Ah - that's what we have, mutants. [he gives a little wave] Humans with powers of some kind.

Oh, like Raven. [It's cool. He totally knows your girlfriend who didn't mention she had a boyfriend while being blue and naked. Carry on.]

Er. Yeah, like Raven. We're from the same world.

You're not blue though? [Oh my god, Mon-El. You can't just ask someone why they aren't blue.]

[oh my god]

. . . I am, actually. I'm usually, uh - blue and furry, for lack of a better way to explain it. I take something to look like this.

But not all mutants have blue skin or fur. Some don't have any physical differences at all.

That must really be something. So, are you in hiding?

It's a long story, but not really. I'm just not as comfortable with it as - Raven is. I wasn't born blue - it came later.

Oh. [A little curious, but that sounds personal.] Well, whatever makes you feel like yourself, right?

Mm, something like that. It's just - easier like this too. It's difficult to do a lot of things with claws.

Claws? Really? Not popular for giving massages.

Definitely not. [he'll play along] Or . . . a lot of things, really.

So you just stay like this all the time?

Not all day, no. What I take wears off at night, and I'll spend the rest of the day and my mornings as myself. There's days I'll go without, too.

I guess you're not too hard to miss when you're yourself? Or are there a lot of blue people here?

[the question makes him smile]

There isn't a lot of blue people, no. I think it's just me and Raven? As far as I know. But I'm not hard to miss no matter what I look like - [he makes a gesture] I'm pretty tall.

I think I can probably tell you apart from Raven. [She's a babe.] It's hard to gauge height on these screens though. I'll take your word for it.

Ah - there's one more - [he forgot about Kurt, but then again, Kurt keeps his distance] We're pretty easy to tell apart, yeah. And as you can see - not all of us are blue all the time.
