[The woman on this video transmission has green hair everywhere -- on the top of her head, her eyebrows, her eyelashes -- and green eyes to match. She's wearing all green, too; in addition, her lips are green -- but that's just because she has green lipstick on, not because her lips are naturally green.

She's levitating her device by way of creative use of her mutant powers, so at least people aren't getting an extreme close up of her face.]

Sooo, I guess I'm doing the multiverse and-slash-or space thing again. Cool. I mean, new places and worlds are kind of par for the course for me at this point, so I'm more fascinated than disturbed -- at least for the moment. I'll see how this shakes out.

[A beat. She is super chill right now.]

Anyway -- name's Lorna Dane, AKA Polaris, also on and off member of teams of the likes of X-Men and X-Factor.

[She says all of that in hopes that someone here will know at least one of those names. If not, oh...well?]

I've been poking around and seeing what I can, but if anyone wants to tell the newbie here the less obvious do-'s and dont'-s' of this place, I would be much obliged before I make a dumbass out of myself.

[Or, you know, people can start taking bets on how long it is before she gets in trouble, some way, some how.]

No offense, but that's not the highest bar to jump.

Yeah, I know, but I'll take my tiny ass victories where I can.

[She smiles a little.] We should get coffee or something some time. Compare notes.

We should -- I live on coffee, so any day is not a bad day for this.

I can see we're going to get along great.

Probably so. [/sage nod.] Anyone who can wake up without coffee probably has the best superpower ever. [Just saying.]

I've lived with enough morning people. They're terrifying.

Did you ever find out their secret?

Magic, close as I can tell.

And they can't be bothered to share? Damn that's harsh.

I'll ask Strange next time I see him.

Coffee amulets. That could be an idea.

Now you see why I don't have magic.

[the shit she would do with it.]

I don't know, it sounds pretty good to me. Way better than just acting mysterious all the time, anyway.

Depends how much mysterious -- there's definitely a line of overkill.

I figure magic users develop an air of mystery because not even they know how their powers work.

[That gets a louder laugh.] Don't tell them that, they might come turn you into a frog for it, and then who would I have to trade weird stories with about similar worlds?

[gasp]

[She grins in return.] I'll be discreet. I'd make a very bad frog.

'Cause people would try to start kissing you to try to change you back.

Well that I could be okay with. I think it's mostly the lack of opposable thumbs I would object to.

That would be a pain in the ass. Although, would the sticky tongue halfway make up for it, is the real question.

[on today's episode of 'that probably sounded way dirtier than intended'.]

Tell you what, I'll ask Thor next time I see him. Pretty sure he spent a little while as a frog once.

[What even is their lives.]

That just sounds like a story with Asgard-strength alcohol involved and a dare gone wrong.

When it comes to Asgardians, it's better not to ask.

Especially considering that behind all that flowery language, they're all happy to troll you.

[That gets a laugh. Fair point.] I think I'm going to assume there's a story behind all of this. I can't decide if I envy your team parties or not, because it sounds like your most used line might be 'damn it guys I JUST rebuilt that part of the base from LAST time you did that!'.

It's been known to happen. [So dry].

But from the stories Hank used to tell about the X-Mansion, I don't think you guys are too far off.
