Sample Post for Xian
Her dad had thrown a fit when he'd heard what she was doing. All kinds of stuff about human rights violations, pollution and a few things that had stopped making sense after a point. She'd pointed out if everyone refused to work with them, there wasn't a lot of incentive for thsoe problems to be fixed. Anyway, she was having this meeting.

So there's a sickly-looking young American superheroine waiting for her appointment with the person the embassy wanted her to meet.

	"He's probably right," Xian replied with certainty. "It's in the nature of such organizations to know things the rest of us do not. It's a question of does it hurt us more not knowing, or knowing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Xian raised an eyebrow. "You are not used to answering to a governmental organization." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A light smirk. "So you consider yourselves members of the proletariat?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As close to as a family of skajillionaires can be. It's the Queen paradox. We're the Schrodinger's cat of sociopoliticalness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And amusement turns to confusion. "I'm sorry, but..what does that mean?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, sorry. Your English is great, and I didn't think about how made-up words and idioms might get confusing. Which part?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's all right, and thank you, my tutors were quite good." He thinks. "I am unsure of what..skaljilion means. And who is Schrodinger?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Skajillion is a childish term for 'a number too high for me to know.' My family is very rich. Erwin Schrodinger was a physicist who used the story of a cat who was two opposite things at the same time to explain the flaws in an interpretation of physics. My joke was that being a Queen was just as paradoxical." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	More thinking. "So..your family is rich, but you share a philosophy similar to the workers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A half-nod "Our philosophy can be very worker-oriented at least. Workers, at least in America, often don't share a philosophy with each other half the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That is probably true enough among my own people. They're just quieter about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
