[video] With Great Power Comes Great Irresponsibility

[ Grif is in high spirits today. He seems to actually be in one of the training rooms for once, which makes that a lot weirder. ]

Hey guys. There are a bunch of weirdos running around and it's been a while since we talked about powers. So guess what we're going to do today?

[ 'We' because he expects participation, dammit! ]

And because I'm feeling generous, I'll start. Guess who learned a new thing?

[ He points at himself with both thumbs and backs up, revealing a line of targets. He steps back, lines up his shoulder with them, and winds up his arm like a softball pitcher. He doesn't stop. Grif's arm blurs as he speeds up, and finally the force of the moving air is enough to tip over the nearest target. But only the nearest one. He stops, gestures at it with definite pride, and continues. ]

So let's talk about your powers because we already know mine are pretty awesome.

[ Of course they are, Grif. ]

Has anybody else figured out anything cool? And if you're new: I'm Grif and this is basically my job around here. Tell me what you got, because I'm still way disappointed about the lack of eye lasers we got going on on this team. I could read profiles, but who has time for that crap?

If I know you already... I don't know. Injury status report? What did you have for lunch? I'm just bored, okay?

Feel free to have characters ignore the point, talk about other things, etc etc. Threads are assumed to be public unless you mark them otherwise. This is set after the Ambush of TTHS but the Investigation is still ongoing. )))

[This is not as planned, and yet somehow not a surprise. It really is like dealing with a tiny girl Caboose. With an ostensibly higher IQ.]

You know, I've heard that when people have more than one power, the people in charge let them know.

[He's heard. Because he totally doesn't have a second power that he's not telling anyone about. Nope.]

So if they only told you about the hamster ball, then you probably only have the hamster ball.

Well, I didn't really pay that much attention during that part...

[ She sort of started screaming for her pet pig and didn't let them tell her much of anything. ]

So I might have a bunch of powers I don't know about yet!

Both? I've had him since I was fifteen. He just turned up a few days late.

It's definitely Niels though. He's unique.

[Yep he just got patronized by a kid. That occurred.]

[Um.]


Good enough at some, yeah.

What are you good at, Mabel?

[Let's redirect, shall we?]

[ She meant it in a good way at least..... ]

Lots of things! ART!

[ She holds up a picture she drew of her pig trying to eat Dipper's omnicom. ]

Knitting!

[ She holds up the one sweater she has left, which is the one she arrived in. ]

And MATCHMAKING!

I don't have a picture for that one yet... But soon I will!

[He nods. That makes sense.]

Unique how?

[Oh yikes that last one. Oh man.]

You know, we could probably find you some...space yarn. Or something. For knitting.

Are they even that useful?

How about we just focus on the hamster ball? And once you can control that really well, we look for any other powers you might or might not have.
headinjuries: and you said, "you know, the usual wear and tear." (the emt asked how you broke your nose)

...Super Tights?

[ IT'S BEAUTIFUL, HE'S CRYING A SINGLE CRYSTALLINE TEAR or not but really, it's beautiful. ]
headinjuries: of the bathroom until i asked you in spanish (you refused to come out)

[personal profile] headinjuries 2016-09-21 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[ welp. ]

Okay. You know where the hangar is?
headinjuries: as in a relationship with taco bell. (i like to think of myself)

[personal profile] headinjuries 2016-09-21 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. Okay, got it.

[ Welp, that got awkward. ]

[ My cat has superpowers is still a strange thing to explain, although sharp eyes might notice the occasional light show is centered around the cat. ]

When no one's looking, he does a killer cakewalk.

What? I'm a Freelancer. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to combat techniques.

Space yarn... I bet it's the sparkly kind.

[ Give her a sec to happily imagine even sparklier yarn than she was used to back in her universe. ]

Okaaay... But if there's a life or death situation and the chair has all the answers, it's gonna be on your shoulders!
