People fear what is unknown. But the thing is- my world is increasingly more known by the year. We know what lies in the depths, we've found Atlantis. We have alien immigrants- even if it's just a few. Nothing is ever what it seems- that applies to the heavens and hells too. It's- you have to judge on personal merit, not as a generalized whole.

Because seriously, Raven's dad fucking sucks. But there's been some not so awful demons too.

[ She does pause for a moment... ]

I mean. Maybe? I'm... not the best with kids. And I don't think they like me.

People are more willing to listen to magical experts when they're superheroes, I've found.

[ Still, she gets it. ]

They're like a less stabby version of me when I was a kid, it feels like. [ Cause. Yanno. Street kid-- ] Honestly, everyone's pretty lucky I just didn't have energy for defenses when I got here.

That, or to pretend not to care.

[ Now there's an admission she never thought would come to light. ]

But they've got you. Sounds like they're coming out on top to me.

[ For a moment she looks... upset? ] As much as I hate to admit it, I think losing my magic actually helped.

Mm. ... I don't think you'll do a bad job there. You're a good person. And you listen well, even to the people who'd normally get written off.

Where I'm from, some people with magic can be born with an affinity for certain types of magic. An element or a concept, basically. People can also be born with too much magic for their body to actually contain- it constantly spills out somehow, whether they want it to or not. People with too much magic can be physically altered by it somehow, but if you've got too much magic and an affinity, you're never going to look like a normal person. Like, ever. Those with more obvious changes are called the Stained, because... well. It's like staining wood, or glass. Or clothes, I guess.

I'm Stained. My affinity is misfortune, and I have too much of it. From the day I was born I was just... bad luck. It even keeps me from using anything but hexes and curses- because, you know, misfortune.

[ You tell a kid that literally everything is their fault enough, and they believe it. Something he's probably familiar with. ]

But it's gone, here. It's. I feel... empty. But I can walk down the street without worrying if my excess magic over misfortune is gonna cause a car crash or not.

Yeah. It's... it's complicated. But I'll manage. I always do.

[ It's still hard not to expect things going wrong being blamed on her, though, or to instinctively blame herself, seeking out that familiar tingle of her magic acting up and lashing out at whatever. ]

[ Internally speaking has been loud static for the past... who knows how long, actually, buuuut Grant doesn't need to know that. ]

I'll be honest, finding out about free healthcare is a bit of a bonus. But it's... I dunno. You adapt, you go on. Same as always.

[ No, that's a you thing, Jinx- ]

... I know I already said it, but I really am sorry that this talk wasn't on your terms.

Right. ... Um, I think that's it? Unless there's anything else...
