[Oh hey. It's Stephen hanging out in the back of what appears to be a small dessert shop or cafe. Spoilers, it is. He's chilling in at a quiet table in his PinkBerry. The discerning ear may hear Zoidberg scuttling around in the background ("What?! You wanted a sample flavor?"), but other than that, it seems like a typical quiet day in the village.]
You know this Skrull business has never sat well with me. There are any number of things that can alter appearances. Mutant ability, magical inclinations... The means of achieving such are really quite numerous. The fact that we are all so fixated -and inevitably become fixated upon- throwing around wild accusations seems tasteless quite irregardless of its effectiveness or lack thereof.
Of course there will be counter arguments. Human nature feeds nicely into a mob mentality, which in turn quickly becomes a witch hunt. Hence their many occurrences historically. However we are a small, and relatively subjugated group in this world. I would think that solidarity should be seen as prudent if not out and out necessary. Lest some bureaucrat decide it necessary to begin registering us for our protection, or some such rubbish.
[He sighs, reshuffling a small stack of papers in font of him. On the outside, they look like invoices.]
I realize with recent events claims of being able to detect Skrulls should be taken with a grain of salt. Even powers which have worked quite well in the past seem to be... Acting up, shall we say? [Around then, Zoidberg's attention seems to refocus. His off-camera cries turn to "Doctor Strange! They want to lynch me, they do!". Stephen tosses him a look.] However, I have, since the beginning on my training, had a certain natural insight into souls and the origins thereof. I cannot promise to tell if you are an alien, but I can reveal what you believe yourself to be. There would be no opportunity to lie, and I'm afraid that it could potentially be awkward if you are not entirely comfortable with who you are, as such internal views would be broadcast publicly for a period of around ten minutes.
If anyone wishes to alleviated concerns regarding a loved one, housemate, or even [another look] family pet, I'd be happy to do so, if you stop by my shop within normal business hours.
[And with that (and some other random yelling from Zoidberg), Stephen cuts the feed.]
[Private to Clint Barton, Bobbi Morse, Tony Stark, Carol Danvers, Jen Walters, Spider-Man, and Namor]
It's time we all sat down for a chat, don't you think?
[Private to Fred and George Weasley]
Perhaps something to take our minds off the current events is in order. Free your calendars for this Friday.

Uh, if you're okay with my cribbing from Rocky.

Besides, the reference would doubtlessly be lost on me.

permavid, permaencrypt;
What about Hank and Bob? Our best biologist and our heaviest hitter -- don't tell Namor I said that -- we should figure out sooner rather than later if they're on our side, right?
all that stuff
But you're right, of course. They should attend our assembly.
