( 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?

Tell that to all the other doordashers who say I'm snapping up all the high-tip deliveries faster than they can react.

[frenchkissed]

Huh. Okay. I see that.

...

How do you deliver?

[qualityfriend]

I use teleportation. But I don't just take the highest tipping deliveries. I go for middle of the road or ones that have sat around for a while, usually because the tip is low.

[frenchkissed]

It's a cool use of your powers, I'll give you that.

Anyway you could meet the other drivers in the middle? Teleport to their cars rather than straight to the destination, that way they still feel involved and as if you're working with them rather than against them?

[qualityfriend]

That's... not how it works. We're all independent, taking the orders we want from a list on an app we all use. We don't actually work directly with each other. But there are forums where we can talk, and sometimes we run into each other when picking up from the same restaurant, and they make their opinions known there.

[frenchkissed]

Yeah... Okay, I think I get you. That's not as easy as 'just get along with everyone,' is it?

And you don't want to stop what you do, either...

I don't know, man. It hurts that being good at your job makes you a target.
