[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. )))

I can think of more useful things.

Okay, okay.

[She holds her hands up in defeat. She didn't honestly mean it maliciously. She's just spent most of her adult life around soldiers with thick skin and rough senses of humor, so she her jokes can often come across a little more mean than she intends.]

I apologize. Better?

He should.

[He likes his people. He has good people.]

She's my girlfriend.

[A pause.]

Possibly 'was' but whether it's past or present tense depends on how mad she is at me on account of that whole 'dying' thing.

He'll eat when he gets hungry enough. Won't you, buddy?

[ Though Robbie is making the appropriate pet-talk baby-voice and scratching Niels on the neck how he likes, he looks dubious. The cat rarely does what Robbie wants, and he's always been a picky eater. ]

Hey - that alien race of cats with ray guns, do they exist in this universe and are they in the U.P.? I really don't want Niels to cause an intergalactic incident again.

It's me, Legs.

[He gives her a gentle smile.]

One of the X-Men must've left the door to the afterlife hanging open or something.

[Because this doesn't usually happen to them. To the X-Men and the Avengers and the cosmic people, sure, but they're the New Warriors. Him being able to save her and the Time Trapper bringing him back is the very first they've ever dealt with this.]

I don't know if this'll last, 'cause I did -- I was gone. And I don't know what the Time Trapper did to bring me back, if it's permanent. But I'm here now.

When I do, perhaps you can spin your arm around for a minute and blow it out.

This is why I don't talk to you about anything to do with women.

Aside from what's probably your near-total unfamiliarity with the subject.

[Jason smirks slightly] I'd say that last one sounds more like entertaining than helpful. But that first part doesn't sound like it's a bad thing.
ringslinging: was "highway to the danger zone" (the first song on his sex mix)

Ugh, he was the worst! He was from some other dimension, and he wanted to get into ours, so he kept doing all these things like stealing Dipper's body and trying to steal memories out of Gruncle Stan's mind.

We beat him up every time though! One time with kitten fists!

[ That was the best one. ]

Justice Prime sounds too cool to be some kind of 'ship name'. Unless it's a starship.

Nova Tights is more ridiculous.

[ He looks utterly impressed. ]

I didn't know you were so good at blow jobs.
ringslinging: like batman and sex. (i can taunt you with whatever i want.)

[personal profile] ringslinging 2016-09-22 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
See, now that is a compelling argument.

I have plenty of faith in Sam.

But you have a valid point.

I hate you all so much right now.

You forgot to mention the apocalypse.

[That's kind of a big thing to miss.]

He also started the apocalypse.

[Yeah. Awkward.]

Um. I know Legion World is generally a school-free zone, other than learning all the superhero stuff, but...

[A pause.]

I mean, it sounds like you've fallen behind for reasons that are totally not your fault, and --

[How does he ask this in a way that doesn't sound stupid?]

Like...if you wanted, maybe I could, I don't know, tutor you or something? [He adds quickly] Or if not me, I bet somebody else could help you. Time's frozen back home so you'd be able to catch up.

[Casey meets his one raised eyebrow with two lower ones.]

Eh, what's he even gonna do?
notthatjason: (Default)

[personal profile] notthatjason 2016-09-23 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ye-ah...[Jason decides he'd benefit from moving the conversation along.]

So, are all those targets in your room or is there a deck with a gym or training arena that you're using?
littlecousin: (shh i'm thinkin')

[It's only a matter of time 'til she breaks out "Marvel Boy." Maybe try to head that one off at the pass.]

Thanks. Do I get a cake?

[She's treating this all casually because, well, it's only been a few weeks for her, and after the Rich bombshell, she's run out of intense emotions for a while.

Besides, she doesn't want to ask "so, when'd you get out of jail?" where everyone can overhear. Terrible nicknames: yes. Criminal records: no.]


What if we just asked the staff to ask new arrivals if they've heard of the Avengers or the Fantastic Four or something? That'd be a lot shorter than leaving them list of every hero we've ever met.

Dude, I know my explosives. Once knocked out an alien superweapon with a firecracker tied to a hockey puck!

[He's so proud of that moment, if you couldn't tell. It's like...number 4 on his highlight top 10.]

Haven't figured out any bonus powers. Yet! How would I know?

Hey, Casey Jones is here for everyone to enjoy!

[She's hot enough that he can let the "kid" thing slide just this once.]
