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.]

[beathach]

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

[spacebro]

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

[beathach]

[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.

[spacebro]

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

[beathach]

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.

[spacebro]

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

[beathach]

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

[spacebro]

Claws? Really? Not popular for giving massages.

[beathach]

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

[spacebro]

So you just stay like this all the time?

[beathach]

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.

[spacebro]

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

[beathach]

[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.

[spacebro]

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.

[beathach]

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.

[spacebro]

So many you can't even remember all of you. [Smiling in good humor.]
