[ gift spam ]

[ She leaves a few gifts outside doors, after port.

First, for Charles, a Cheshire Cat that she won in an arcade game. They saw Alice in Wonderland for the first time together. Cheshire was always Raven's favorite. She doesn't leave a note. She suspects he'll know it's her.

For Alex, a blue furry monster, from something called Monsters University. It reminds her a little of Hank. This one is an impulse; she just leaves it by his door, unable to think of anything to say in a note.

For Erik, she leaves several vials of metal glitter. This one has a note: Thought you might find this fun. - Mystique ]

Would anyone be willing to teach dancing or gymnastics?

ahahah no

Oh god I hope Chris and Edward don't see this I'll never live the idea down.

No. Paired dancing; modern to ballroom.

text

[permutates]

Oh. I was thinking about ballet, but the rest might be interesting. What's modern for you?

[megamind]

We were just 2-3 weeks from 2011 when I came back to the barge

text

[permutates]

I don't know anything about dance after 1963.

text

[megamind]

My that's quite a gap. The classics haven't changed much, but the music sure did.

You know Alex is from that time frame?

text

[permutates]

I know. I heard a lot in Los Angeles.

I knew Alex before the Barge.

text

[megamind]

Really? He's a friend of mine.

text

[permutates]

I didn't know that.

[ Which is kind of a stupid thing to say, but she hadn't even really thought about it, either. Alex is a friendly guy. - Sort of. It makes sense. ]

text

[megamind]

Not too close, huh? Well, he's a good kid.

text

[permutates]

We were close.

text

[megamind]

Oh. Well, I'm glad you have a chance to be together on the barge. Sometimes it can be hard here on the barge, without support structure.

text

[permutates]

[ Support structure. Is Alex support? Or is he just making things harder for her? Can he be both? ]

I think it can be hard here anyway.

I'm Raven.

[ He switches to introductions on video. ]

Ollo! I'm Megamind. A pleasure, Raven.

[permutates]

[ Oh, he's -

She switches to video, too. She's already blue-skinned.

It's a surprise, to see someone else with similar... coloring. ]

Hi. Nice to... meet you.

[megamind]

[ Holy shit she's blue ]

[ This is sort of a big deal, for someone who has never seen anyone close to his colorscheme or species. Sure, the head is all wrong, she's got scales, but-- still. It's one step closer to who he is, and away from who humans are ]

Raven.

That's a lovely name. A pleasure.

[permutates]

Are you a mutant?

video

[megamind]

Ah. No. I'm not terrestrial. Planets far, far away and all that.

You're a mutant? Like Charles and Erik are?

video

[permutates]

And Alex.

video

[megamind]

Yes, and Alex!

[ Alex doesn't really bring it up nearly so much as the others, though, so Megamind doesn't tend to associate it with him. ]
