Who: Minako and YOU
Broadcast: YES
Action: Sure. She's on the Red Fish, but I'm open to meeting up on the planet or Iskaulit!
When: Backdated a couple of days.

====

Hi, everyone! Minako here, again.

So, after hearing back from a good number of you who were interested, the final verdict is that we're going to use the money raised from the date auction for purchasing supplies before we leave the system.

Personally, I think that's a great idea.

SO... that said, I've gotten quite a lot of sign ups! I'm really excited. Remember, though, we need buyers for this to really work, so don't forget to stop by this weekend. I'm going to set it up in the lecture hall on the Iskaulit.

I can also use help with decorating and other tasks surrounding the auction, so, even if you don't want to participate in the matchmaking part, you're perfectly welcome to help in other ways! Just let me know!

Bye for now!

Sure! In two days, around mid-morning, I'm going to be at the lecture hall. I have some ideas, but, we can meet ahead of time to figure things out, too, if you want?

Maybe later today?

[ashandflame]

Later today works for me. I don't have anything going on so it's not going to be hard for me to get together with you.

I'm a telekinetic, too, so I can move stuff without needing my hands for it.

[child_of_luv]

Oh, that sounds handy. That means you get stuff up high, too, right? We won't need someone on a ladder.

[ashandflame]

Yeah, I can lift things over my head. I can actually hover a bit, too, so it's sort of like flying but without the...speed part.

( Jean laughs a little. )

Never thought my mutant powers would be used for party decorations but I can't think of a more worthy cause.

[child_of_luv]

Oh, neat!

[Minako looked excited about this.]

What do you normally use your powers for?

[ashandflame]

Saving the world, of course. What else? I mean, I guess I could be a supervillain but I'm not too into black spandex and laughing menacingly.

( Simplification of villain motivations? Check. Still, the point remains - it's just not Jean's style. )

[child_of_luv]

Yeah, villains can be pretty weird sometimes!

[Minako laughed a little. What would she know about villains, right? Haha, ha...]

[ashandflame]

Know any personally or just speaking in general? Because I try to keep away from them when I can.

( Curious thing to say, that villains could be weird. Hmm. )

[child_of_luv]

In general! We have super heroes back home, though, that help out with that kind of thing, too!

[Yup. Definitely weird and coincidental. Nothing at all here being left out and kept secret!]

[ashandflame]

I like to think I'm one of the heroes but if you're a villain, well. I'm not going to be the hero of the story to you.

( It's all a matter of perspective. )

[child_of_luv]

Oh! Well, no. I'm not the villain. [She chuckled a bit.] Though, I definitely can get that. The villains that attack people back home are definitely not fans of our heroes.

[ashandflame]

I think it cramps their style. They want to stomp around with their own theme music and here we go, ruining the day.

( That's been Jean's experience with villains, anyway, other than the ones who used to be her friends. )

I like to think I'm the hero of the piece, usually, but I know I screw up sometimes.

[child_of_luv]

Everyone messes up. Even heroes. It's okay. As long as we- we do our best to fix it, it's fine.

[Oops... did she stumble there? A little. Minako realized too late that "we" didn't have to encompass her as a hero, but just a more general "we" for everyone.]
