A rather late welcome, but a welcome nonetheless!

Congratulations on the life stuff, and I look forward to seeing you around.

Since, as I recall, you are a fellow Washingtonian, (we really need a better name.) have this miniature Lady Washington. How miniature is it? Who knows. Knowing me it probably changes with the phases of the moon.

Nice to see people around! ^_^

Have pot of black-hole coffee and a self-updating guidebook of all the deathtraps in the multiverse. If you use it, do not listen to Phobos' advices about it.

Hope you're back for staying.

Here, have a cup of Lapsang Souchong and a bag of muffins.

I don't know if this is weird to say—please forgive me if it is—but I always thought you looked pretty in Agent Dann's photo, with the flower and the roguish smile and all. It's a way-old photo now, of course, but still.

What I MEAN by that is that I support you and wish you all the best in this new phase of your life. {= )

Glad to hear you'll be trying to take a more active role in the community.

Welcome back! It's been ages, haha!

Good to hear you're doing well in life, and that you've come to terms with everything. I'm not very versed in that, so I'll try to keep it in mind and not offend.

I remember you mentioning the circus when we last spoke in the IRC... sometime around when the pyramids were going up, I think? :P

Any exciting stories from the big top?

I want to apologize in advance, though. I have a fair bit of mental inertia, and it takes time to fully switch names and pronouns in my head. I will probably screw up at some point, but I will be trying to get it right.

All that said, it is good to have you back. I have thought that you going lurker-mode (or, I feared, just being gone) was a big loss to the community. You're a great person and lovely to have around.

Anyway, I think I read that you are doing aerial circus stuff? That's pretty cool. Do you have a preferred apparatus? Is apparatus even the right term? Circusy stuff is a form of performance that I am not very familiar with, so I'm interested to know more.

My gift to you is... Eh, I'm running low on creativity, so I'll just lend you my copy of "Excluded" by Julia Serano. It's special because it contains typos which can be used to decode a long-forgotten message... Telling of a world of which all knowledge has been suppressed. Read at your own risk... Also my copy of "Flatterland" by Ian Stewart. There's nothing special about that one; it's just a fun book.

Hi. I'm Key. Or Cat. Or whatever. I am a cis female who randomly happens to know a lot about transgender issues (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). I'm a newbie. I'm fairly young and have a lot of dumb ideas. I guess you know all that, since you've been lurking.

I like the logic behind your new username. It's elegant and charming.

--Key is excited to meet such a venerable old oldbie

An amateur circus sounds really cool! Has your group done any shows yet?

Also, thanks for sharing your new identity with us. I'll do what I can to support you. :)

Here, have an Equinox, she's a tad like you.

To help you on your journey, I present you with a towel and a pair of goggles! Also, there's no proper welcoming that doesn't contain chocolate, so here you are.

It is good to meet you, Deta Juliette!

Please accept this finely-crafted NG+ starter Pokémon:-



Iiiiiit's Medicham!

And your starting item is:-


Wax Wings from Enter The Gungeon!

Wax Wings is an interesting and powerful item in the right hands. It's effect is pretty cool; it grants Flying STAB and all the resistances of the Flying type (with none of the weaknesses) and increases the holder's base Speed by 25%. On Medicham, it's basically there for the Speed boost, since Medicham's base speed is fairly average at 80, but it still give a resistance to Bug and an immunity to the common Ground attacking type, which is always nice since Medicham's defences mean it sometimes has trouble switching in. Try an Jolly one with EVs in Attack and Speed, and give it the moves High Jump Kick, Zen Headbutt, Thunder Punch, and Drain Punch for some additional healing. Most importantly, though: have fun. =]

As per tradition, I offer a slice of Infinite Pizza



For the next thing, now you got me question my own self. And I don't intend for it to sound in any way negative! I mean... I do feel like a man, and I never really questioned my gender...though people occasionally tend to address me as "Ms". Instead of gender, it made me question my masculinity :/ Who the heck am I?

It'd be good to see you around a bit more, so I hope this 'sticks' (as it were).

hS

It's so great that you're back that I'm completely willing to ignore all the water you've just splashed on to the carpet.

Good on you with all the gender change stuff.
I know bugger all about that kind of thing, but it must be rough. Or, at least, confusing.
I don't know, I've never tried it.

I must ask, by circus do you mean... y'know, big red tent, acrobats, lions and stuff?

Glad to hear we'll be hearing more from you again! Welcome back!

—doctorlit wonders if Agent Dann is now Agent Juliette, too?
