( 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?

Do you seriously think that nonmetas will be in on this? I'm not so sure. They're pretty worried about us. Obviously. I mean, no one can blame them at this point.

I would be willing to spend some time with someone. Try to educate them that we're not quite so frightening.

Though I may not be the best spokesperson. I've been told I can be brusque, at times.

I think I could, at least, speak for myself. It would be statistically unlikely to be almost burned at the stake for witchcraft twice after explaining my telepathy.

...do this what style?

[He'll get to telling Brock why this whole thing sounds like a terrible idea in a moment, right now Nox is just trying to figure out what the hell Eddie's even trying to say.]
soulmakingsound: (in the worst way)

People fear what they don't understand. But if we can help them to understand, that might go a long way to less fear. Less tension.

[ hmm. ]

I suppose I don't mind hosting such a thing.

[ just like loki, ba dum tish. ]

It sounds entertaining and a worthwhile distraction.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'm 9700% against blind dates and random hookups. This sounds like a real good way for someone to end up dead under a staircase.

Mostly my theatre. As a space to use.

[ as much as it might be fun to volunteer, he's not sure his ego could take it if he was passed on. ]

I don't think anything like a speech would be enough or Atomight and them would have it covered.

[ NERVOUS LAUGHTER, don't smite him Atomight ]

The date auction thing is a cute idea, I'm just not sure how to get people who hate us to un-hate us enough to…do this. Especially if it costs money.

And you think selling us is going to make any of this better?

Even if it would, it isn't worth it. Take it from someone who knows.
soulmakingsound: (and the souls making sound)

Nearly burned. My crew saved me from that particular fate.

I heard things I wasn't meant to hear. They were a small village that had never met a Reader like me. They didn't understand that I meant no harm.

Surely, no hero would pass up charity.

It wouldn't hurt. I'll subsidize the fee for you.
