Can someone help me find my roommate, please?

I know she's just sulking, you don't need to tell me that but it's late and like, I kind of feel like maybe an adult should be looking for her, because she's not in the mansion or the main section of the grounds and seriously, it's late enough that, like we should find her.

No but I know what my mother would have said if I didn't go look for her.

My mother would likely have scolded me for being indiscreet about my temper tantrum.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

That's ... wow.

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

My mother was a complex woman.

I have a question for you that may seem rude, but I have been confused about this for awhile. Why are you in the girls dorms when you are a boy?

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Um.

I'm a boy about half the time and a girl the rest of the time, because I shapeshift and I guess - look, I was a girl 100% of the time before I was a mutant so the girl's dorm makes sense?

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

Oh, that makes sense, I suppose.

My apologies for making assumptions about your gender.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

Nooo.

I guess - look, I look like a boy more than I look like a girl so maybe I should be in one of the other ones? I don't know!

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

Well, to me it would make sense that you are roomed where you are most comfortable, but I am not one of the people making those decisions.

Are you happy where you are staying?

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

I guess? I don't know.

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

Well, you have Maya as a roommate, I understand being conflicted.

While I cannot say I have personal experience with your situation, obviously, if you want to discuss it with someone I am willing to listen.

I will offer a libation to Bacchus on your behalf, if you do not object.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

I um. what? What is Bacchus?

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

Bacchus was known as Dionysus to the Greeks, and among other things is the patron god of intersex and transgender people.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

I'm just a shapeshifter. i don't know that i'm really -- you know. they're like 100% one thing and i'm not really a boy *or* a girl anymore.

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

He is also Lyaeus, the god who frees us from care and anxiety.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

so he's the god of anxious transgender people and wine?

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

Amongst many things.

I also like to think of him as a patron god for mutants.

[xp-xavin.livejournal.com]

huh.

[xp-magma.livejournal.com]

He is protector of those who do not belong to conventional society and everything which is chaotic, dangerous and unexpected, everything which escapes human understanding and therefore can only be attributed to the unforeseeable action of the gods.

So, mutants.
