[A young woman appears on the screen, she’s pale, but the most striking feature about her would have to be the white streaks that frame her face, standing out in contrast from her otherwise brown hair. She gives a half-smile, and holds up a gloved hand in greeting.

When she speaks, her accent is a soft Southern, with a few New York quirks. She's lived there long enough to pick up a few vocal ticks.]

Hey, ya’ll. This is some nifty technology, ain't it? [Whew, ice broken.]

So I know some of everyone here happens to be from the same… worlds, I guess? Universe? So I just thought I’d ask… Does the letter X mean anything to you?

[She doesn’t want to come right out and announce to the whole place that she’s part of a group of mutants that sometimes go out and superhero. She doesn’t know what sort of people are here, what their prejudices might be. It’d be really stupid to come out and tell everyone she kills people when she touches them. That’d be a fast way to get herself airlocked, and she’d rather not experience that, thanks.

BUT if there are people here who are like her? She's not holding her breath for anyone she knows knows, but it'd be good to have a potential ally, should things go South.]

If it doesn't, no worries. I look forward to meeting ya'll. [There. She's putting herself out there. Logan would be so proud.]

and I thought Meridian was boring.

[ventifact]

what's meridian like?

[notmarieanymore]

thank god I don't live there anymore, let's say that.
small down, everyone's really closed minded. biggest deal are football games and church.

[ventifact]

what's a football game?

[notmarieanymore]

It's a sport. Two teams try to get points with this egg-shaped ball, essentially.
the high school team was a really big deal.

[ventifact]

yeah we didn't have that on jakku

[notmarieanymore]

It's a pretty fun game to watch.
I've never really played

[ventifact]

i don't think i've ever watched someone play a game in my life
or played one myself

[notmarieanymore]

any sort of game?

[ventifact]

yeah

[notmarieanymore]

that's awful.
maybe we can teach you a few. We can start out with something simple like tag.

[ventifact]

sure
that could be a thing
what's tag?

[notmarieanymore]

it's a game where one person is the designated It.
the person who is It runs around and tries to touch the other players- that's a tag.
If they touch a player, that player is now It, and everyone runs from the new It.

[This game was no longer safe for Rogue to really play.]

[ventifact]

that sounds
interesting
i could give it a shot

[notmarieanymore]

Usually it's played by children
if we're being honest.

[ventifact]

i figured as much
what about football?

I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL. SPOILER.

[notmarieanymore]

football is really complicated.
but two teams try to bring a ball to the opposite end of the field, is kinda the base.
the person that has the ball is kind of reverse it- everyone tries to get the ball.

it's ok neither do i

[ventifact]

that sounds a little more interesting

[notmarieanymore]
