**[My arm over his shoulder. I'm grinning.] Smooth sir, very smooth. Why not suggest that he wear glasses, and study journalism?**


I wonder what Mister J'onzz wants? I turn back. Diana stops as well, probably as curious as me.

"A moment ago you sent an extremely clear telepathic message to me, and I do not believe anyone else was able to hear it. Diana?"

She shakes her head. "I didn't hear anything."

"Yeah, M'gann said that I'd taken to telepathy surprisingly easily."

He looks at me for a moment. "I do not think that you appreciate exactly how unusual what you are going is. When M'gann told me that you were able to induce tactile sensation I was.. sceptical."

Was this Paul being ... ahem, intimate with Manhunter?
 
Question is anyone else at least a tiny bit weirded out by J'aarkn's situation? I mean I get that he's a professor and in the adult entertainment business but does anyone feel like the two don't mix properly. Like can anyone else see like if mlk doing well known porn and still being considered one of the greatest civil rights activist ever. It would be just the craziest curve balls you could throw.
 
Huh, I think I discovered Mars' weirdest supervillain in DC comics, and that takes some doing, since Jay fought martian spider people and J'onn fought a secret society of martian body hoppers who hopped from host to host since the Sphinx was new(and one of them ends up possessing a shark).

The Master Gardener- A (green) martian who tried to take over the world during WW2 with a personal army of reptilian shapeshifters and parasitic fungi that cause their human hosts to spontaneously combust if they disobey their orders.

So apparently in the DC franchise David Icke is at least half right.

Being a race of telepaths, what would be weird is if the Martians had hangups about sex, plus human sex and Martian sex probably have very little to do with each other even if Martians did have hang ups about sex.

I found a source on the internet which said that DC once established that Martians breed by merging together like amoebas and then budding off the new child(ren) from their mass.

I'm not sure how having genders fits into that though, but considering Burning Martians breed by budding it's not that hard to believe.

Plus the Martians apparently don't have media like humans do, which if true, would mean that the concept of porn star would mean nothing to them, even if they have hangups about sex or if they actually consider what humans do qualifies as a sex act.

In the 60s some professors used to take their classes out to smoke pot and or do LSD.

Not that weird, especially given he's a Martian.

In graduate school one of the physics professors used to be a stripper, as she shared at a wine and cheese social.

It happens.

**What sort of response has there been to his return?**
Thank you, corrected.

He was demonstrating a surprising ease at being in his presence. Mister J'onzz realised that the SI probably didn't understand the full social implications of the act.

Quite a lot of Martians.

Oh, he isn't a civil rights activist. He's a social scientist at best. He writes about it without making the direct comparisons to Martian society, assuming that other people are intelligent enough to make the connections themselves without giving the establishment anything to go after him about.
 
She sighs. **One time, Uncle J'onn put us in a telepathic group illusion, so we could do a training session on dealing with an invasion of the planet without.. actually.. having to find someone to invade it. We were fighting them and… [The ice of the north pole, crashed alien fight craft smoking on the ice. Richard pulls a piece of machinery out of the ship and then the beam strikes him no!**
I think that "[" needs to have a closing part "]" somewhere.
 
I like how they glossed over the "And then I fused with a mid-sized God and made a large cake" part of the 'Jonn fucked up' story.

I also laughed at how apparently amnesiac Paul and M'gann had martian sex.

It would appear that the important part is transmitting an image of the other person doing something, causing them to feel that thing directly. Not just transmitting a feeling or an idea, but doing so in a way that not just the information or images but the sensations make it through.

That would be this:

Clueless part 3 said:
14th April
Alone in a desert with an attractive alien woman.


Hmm. If the dream is allowing me to hear her words from a distance, can I merge concepts? Can I transmit more complex ideas?

**[I run my right index finger up her throat to her chin, gently applying pressure to encourage her to look directly at me.]**

She starts again, looking at me.

"I thought you said you aren't telepathic."

"I'm not. The idea that your ability can work that way just seemed… obvious."

I point my index fingers toward each other at my chest, moving them in circles without them touching.

"Don't.. Martians…"

"Well, yes, but.. but not…"

She's blushing up a storm now. Adorable.

"That's something we only really do with, um people, who we're…"

Her hands go to her mouth.

"You don't think we're..?"

I raise my right index finger, and shake my head.

"Mn. Question is; do you want to be?"

**[My arms around her chest, under her breasts. My bare chest pressed against her naked back. My face nuzzling her neck. Her giggles like silver bells.]**

She thrusts her hands forward, her eyes white. I feel a strong pushing force at my chest. I allow it to propel me backwards.

"This is not that sort of dream!"

"Apparently."
 
So, mentally bonding at a deep level is considered intimate my Martian society? I wonder if that means by Martian standards that Paul and Ophidian have already consummated their marriage when they merged?

There are professors that study animal reproduction ya know?

And the problem seems to be that he shared all he knows about humans, not just what he is most infamous for.
 
**He tried, but he couldn't stop me changing his perception too. He became convinced it was real and forgot how he got there. It wasn't until everyone on the team.. except for Paul and I, 'died', that he remembered.**

**After that I suggested that he might like to find an alternate teacher for M'gann's telepathy classes.**
I can't say for certain, but I seem to remember some other large event that happened between the scenario ending and M'gann getting another teacher.

...

Nah, probably not.
It's sad that a species that can't feel each others personhood have done more work in that direction than we Martians have.**
Other's personhood
I also laughed at how apparently amnesiac Paul and M'gann had martian sex.
They said intimate but not necessarily romantic, so maybe something more equivalent to cuddling.
 
Thank you, corrected.
Hey Wheenesss?
What do the individual League members think of Teth Adom and the whole mess in Khandaq?
Various things. Batman's already made it clear that until the UN recognises Adom's government and that government signs the League's charter they have no legal grounds to get involved as a group. And that anyone who wants to spend a hour arguing about it can do so in their own time, not during a meeting.
We know he and Billy are on okay terms but about it.
Okay is... Pushing it. William is quite disturbed by how vicious Adom is prepared to be, particularly against people who weren't any physical threat to him. But he understand why Adom did what he did and thinks that constructive engagement is the best way to make sure that he never does it again.
 
**Actually, that was more Henry. [An image, a snapshot of one M'gann's sessions with him.]**

**A Human? I remember J'onn saying that there were Human telepaths. I am surprised that he was confident enough in their abilities to allow one to instruct you.**

I raise my right eyebrow. **You..? Didn't tell them about..?**

She frowns at me. "No, and you weren't supposed to either."
Should the first line here have orange asterisks? It's a little harder than usual to keep track of who's saying what, but it seems like that line probably came from Paul.
