( nothing special about this set-up outside of venom in full form napping like a baby on the couch behind him. )
So, things have been a little heated between the metas and the non-metas from the sounds of it. For good reason. Powers are really dangerous, and it kind of seems like everywhere we go, worlds literally seem to fall apart...
...Which isn't great.
People are, like, disappearing into other dimensions. I don't know what the fuck that's about, and hell if I know how to fix it.
But... I think it could be worth trying to fix things with the people who're afraid of us... Or hate us, but those ones might take a little more work to get through.
I don't see why we can't do this Coyote Ugly style and hold a Date-A-Meta Auction? Y'know, spend a day with a local so they get to see we aren't so bad?
Or each other, if you want.
Bid on whoever.
Plus all the proceeds would go to restoration projects to get the cities back in order. So it's a win-win.
Any volunteers?

Maybe we make it a silent auction instead. More accessibility, less chance for the wealthy and curious to swoop in and $20,000 for their favorite monster of the week.
Any thoughts on a wider effort? As much and V and I don't mind fixing up buildings and helping to repave roads, I'm sure people are getting tired of seeing us fixing the same mistakes month after month.

And I'll bet people are tired, but of the mistakes you're having to help fix, not of you consistently working to fix them. If those of us willing can keep doing that, finding ways to work alongside, interact with and lift up the people and places that've seen the most harm, it'll be harder to see us exclusively as a potential danger. And things like your auction could be a great way to support that outreach and start to smooth things over with the kinds of people whose influence has its own wide reach.
I have plenty of thoughts about how I'll choose to help, but it's going to be the sum of collective efforts playing to our individual strengths that'll see the tide turn. A balance between good PR and establishing personal relationships.
