[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?

((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but if you want to have a character jump into a conversation with anybody you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. 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. )))

Up until they got a look at your teeth and realized you were actually an omnivore.

[Hiccup's been watching science shows during his downtime.]

Toothless gets a pass because he can't eat anything but fish. Possibly also sheep and yaks, but given the option he defaults to fish.

[ Her matchmaking adventures have already started elsewhere, so he's too late, unfortunately. ]

Are you trying to say you want a sweater? I'll make you one, don't worry! What's your favorite color?
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup silly me)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-09-22 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
You've been here for months and haven't died of starvation yet. The evidence you don't need meat to survive is looking fairly solid right now.

[ No one can keep this one and her brother away from combat. It's pretty much their destiny or something at this point. ]

Okay, don't neglect your training! Next time I see you, I want you to be holding long deep conversations with chairs over candlelight dinner! Go go go go!

Probably lots of things! Making real hamsters jealous, running through mud puddles with no worries, maybe even rolling it off a tall building and bouncing through the streets!

[ She's definitely going to have to try that last one out at some point. ]

I only got one ONE TIME back there, and that was in my Gruncle Stan's mind, so it didn't last forever. We did fight an evil dumb dumb triangle guy with it though.

[NOT AS PLANNED OH GOD ABORT ABORT]

[He chokes for a moment - because that is the last thing he needs - and scrambles to come up with an alternate solution.]


Actually, do you know who really needs a sweater? My friend Donut. He'll love it.

Donut?? What a cute name! I'll make you both sweaters!

[ You're never getting out of it, Wash. Sorry not sorry. ]

[That doesn't mean he has to like it.]

Yes ma'am.

[If she's anything like Caboose, she'll have forgotten about this by the next time they talk.]

[He can try]

How about you start on his first? His favorite color is pink.
headinjuries: so i can die properly tomorrow. (i need to sleep)

Okay! I'll get Dipper to take me to Earth right away. You guys are gonna look amazing!
headinjuries: this is not even the first time i've woken up in a shopping cart with a concussion. (the saddest part is)

[personal profile] headinjuries 2016-09-22 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Uh. Good question. Who didn't get much crap...

Maybe Hal? I mean, they were talking about him and tentacle-aliens, but I'm pretty sure that's all true stuff anyway, right?

Private to Grif

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-09-22 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be there soon.
ringslinging: i think i really have this valentine's day thing down (i'm gonna watch porn and nap.)

[personal profile] ringslinging 2016-09-22 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe. But first you have to give me a good reason why I like you more than Vance to do this for you.

[personal profile] notthatjason 2016-09-22 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. Thanks. Were the other posts any more helpful?
notthatjason: (Paralyzer)

[personal profile] notthatjason 2016-09-22 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Huh.

Well it's nice that you're trying to share that awesomeness I guess.
notthatjason: (Pristine)

[personal profile] notthatjason 2016-09-22 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I was mostly curious. I don't really need anyone to teach me how to use my powers or anything like that.
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup grin)

[personal profile] wherenoonegoes 2016-09-22 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on what you mean by helpful. They're usually good for getting to know people. And occasionally for video evidence of Grif running into a wall.
