you better wise up, 'cause i'll rise up, bring on any challenge

[ Early on Wednesday, word goes around for everyone to meet in the Boys Bathroom at noon again, for another meeting. This time, with Salieri's help, Peregrine is leading it. ]

Okay, you guys. So, we're all scared, but we're all still here. And now we know we're not alone. For our sake, and...for theirs, let's see what we've learned what we can figure out. ...We're not gonna have another repeat. Not again.

Right? Sucks.

[ she KNEW it

Though that raises a question she's not sure what to do with. ]

... Wait, is. Is anyone here straight?

[ IS THE WIZARD OF OZ HOMOPHOBIC??? ]

[ Under her breath, just letting All This happen: ]

Thought I was.

Oh my god babe were Maya and I your bi awakening?

[ SHE SOUNDS... GENUINELY TOUCHED ]

I'm not talking about this in the boy's bathroom.

[Casual shrugs.]

Not surprising. And certainly not the first time it's happened.

It's the first time it's happened to me! I'm so proud of us.

I am! [He makes a little square around his body!

... This would work better if you could see him as a sponge.]

[ puts a hand on her heart ]

Duly noted.

[ whispered kind of loud into orpheus’s ear: ]

Are we straight?

I don't think so? Um. [ Well this is awkward, but. ] I dated a few men before I met you? It doesn't sound like straight people do that.

[ This does not bother Eurydice one bit! She shrugs. ]

Mm. Makes sense. I didn't really date anybody [ because, you know, moving around and not generally trusting people ] but I did spend a lot of time with this one girl, back when we were both working the same laundry job? That was a while back, though.

[ this is all very confusing ]

[ Orpheus nods, thoughtfully. ]

Right. So I guess we're not straight? Unless it changes depending on who you're with, but that sounds really complicated, and Janis said it was about only liking men or women, so...

[Upon looking and seeing either negative responses, confused responses, or...Spongebob,

Benjamin looks slightly bashful, as he tentatively raises his hand.]

[ Points! This is a no-judgement zone. Mostly. ]

Alright, so it's probably not a, you know. A Thing with the Wizard.

Had to take at least one, I guess.

[Farrah’s hand hovers awkwardly near the middle, like she was going to raise it and suddenly realized she can’t.]

[ SHE SUPPORTS U BABY GIRL..... ]

[eyebrow arch]

[THE HANDS BACK DOWN.]

[REALLY, Janis? It wasn't IMMEDIATELY confirmed that you were speaking to a sword lesbian?]

Yeah, I uh... don't really talk about it much. It's my business and all, you know?

[She's not afraid, just... private.]

[ look like she could basically tell but it's hard to be certain!!! they might have just done it differently before electricity!!!! ]

Right, for sure.

[Truth!!!]

...Well, glad we settled this matter.

[Now for all the other shit]

[There's a very pointed pause from Elsa, before she speaks up.]

Is it... normal to come to that sort of realization very suddenly?

[She hadn't really given much thought to the idea of a partner. As the next in line for the throne, Elsa knew from a young age that she'd eventually have to marry a man and have children to continue her family line. But ever since waking up in this place, and growing closer to Cass, she's felt... different.

The memories of that night in the forest, of feeling her heart flutter in such a pleasing way when she'd spoken to Honeymaren and seen the awe on her face as she showed the Northuldran warrior her magic... that was just one more moment that helped her open her eyes.]

[ HER HEADCANON WAS FUCKING RIGHT TAKE THAT WEIRDOS ON TWITTER- ]

Uh... yeah, for sure. That's just how it happens sometimes.

Oh. Well. Then I'm not sure if I would be considered. Um. Straight.

[Elsa is blushing as bright as a tomato, but she's not... scared to talk about this. Everyone here has been so open about who and how they love; she knows they'll be accepting, and that makes this much easier. It's just... a lot. She's never talked so bluntly about such a personal subject.]

I'm still very new to the idea of being... attracted to others. [She is very, very pointedly not looking at Cass right now.] But the only times I've felt such things were when I was around other women.
