[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.]

'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.

Ohhh, we might have had an incident or fifty--

[ a beat: ]

--million.

[She can't help but grin.] Yeah, that's what I thought. I think there's a pool going for how often the Mansion will explode.

Any sub-bets on who will cause the explosion?

Probably. If there's anything we are as a group, it's unsure of how to handle too much downtime. Boredom does strange things.

From an obviously totally unbiased source -- [except not] -- usually not my fault.

I'll take your word for it. I'm not allowed in the pools anyway. Something about having an unfair advantage.

I guess that just means you get to watch and have fun from that end.

Usually. Playing peanut gallery is one of my favorite past times.

And they usually deserve it.

One of the funnier moments of being on a team. "guys, guys no, guys stop." while shoving popcorn in your face.

It's even better when you're nominally supposed to be in charge of the idiots. Or worse. One of those.

Peanut gallery-ing temporarily exempts one from being in any boss-like duties. It's in The Rules. [ what Rules? the ones she just decided on. ]

I like your rules. I'll keep them in mind.
