Hey so.

Considering we come from different worlds, but we're kind of expected to fit into superhero or supervillain . . . kind of curious to see where some of us stand?

Just for fun!

Here is the quiz. My result was this. Nothing special!

Are you thinking of literal ice. Is that what's happening here.

[hevenly]

[ For once, no. ]

I know what the phrase "breaking the ice" means.

[exasperation]

Oh! Okay, it wasn't clear.

Basically, because we're here to play superheroes and supervillains, I thought it'd be fun to do a little quiz. See where we stand. Even if the results are wrong, it gets the conversation started? And thinking about where you think you stand.

[hevenly]

I see.
However I do not think that a quiz which deems everyone to be normal gives the desired results.

[exasperation]

Everyone forgot about the percentages!!

[hevenly]

You should have been more clear.

61% Normal
34% Superhero/Good Person
4% Evil/Mean-isg

[exasperation]

I didn't think I had to!

But thanks, that's great. I think I got 71%

[hevenly]

Congratulations. You have surpassed my normality.

[exasperation]

But we were pretty close!

[hevenly]

Is this result something in which I should take pride?

[exasperation]

[ he deflates a little at that. ]

I mean, that's up to you. If you don't want to, I wouldn't mind.

[hevenly]

I suppose I have known those who strive for normalcy. Especially when thrust into abnormal circumstance.

[exasperation]

It's not that weird to want things to be normal. Or less stressful.

[hevenly]

A large part of it does hinge on what one considers to be "normal."
No planet or realm I have been to functions in the same way as the one in which I was raised. Does that mean my upbringing was abnormal?

[ It was, but that's beside the point. ]

[exasperation]

I don't think being in weird places makes you abnormal? It's more about . . . the way you think or treat people.

More exposure to different places could give you a greater look into the spectrum.

[hevenly]

I am a child of two realms, by nature and nurture both. And I have traveled far afield even from those.

There is very little I would write off as simply being "normal."

[exasperation]

There's no . . . typical behaviors or anything?

[hevenly]

Each realm, each world, has its own people with their own culture. What is typical for one may be strange for another.

[exasperation]

Sure, but there are some things that probably just stay the same right?

[hevenly]

People are born. They grow. They die. But even that is not universal.

[exasperation]

[ this is way too cosmic for him. ]

What about feelings?

[hevenly]

Also dependent on circumstance.

[exasperation]

Sounds . . . difficult.

[ which is his most polite way of saying "that's rough buddy." ]
