[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. )))

[Oh, Father Neptune, he grew up.

Rich had changed, yes, but it wasn't physical, not like a teenage boy hitting his growth spurt. Robbie turned into an adult in a flash, and she finally feels it--in a few hours, she lost years.

But it's not Robbie's problem. Her surprise rapidly changes to a smile.]


Robbie! And Niels! Hey!

So like...how awesome is the Casey Jones in your world? Cause in the universe last time everyone was a weird dork.

[Casey didn't actually get to meet the him from that world, but he saw him once. Definitely had the look of a weird dork.

...Donnie's just always a weird dork in every universe.]

[It makes Casey laugh, at least. Reminds him a bit of his own little sister.]

But how's the batter gonna hit it if he can't see it?
headinjuries: i pet it. like i was pocahontas. (i made friends with a raccoon.)

[ On one hand: yeah, he's kind of been enjoying the school-free zone.

But on the other, Sam really doesn't want to become a dropout. And he has definitely fallen behind. ]


That'd...be pretty good. If it's not too much trouble.
ringslinging: with its superhuman capabilities (damn you and your marathon penis)

Hey, we wouldn't do this to people we don't like. We'd just punch them in the face.

...okay, at least, I would just punch them in the face.

To my understanding, it's...an adverse chemical reaction that causes some kind of change in texture, but to describe it any further than that, I'd be referencing at least five other things you probably aren't familiar with and a few that I still need to read up on.

He's cool but he's...uh, troubled, I guess?

[ Is it a rude breach of personal information to say more to someone's alternate universe counterpart?

...actually, that's kind of an interesting philosophical dilemma, he's going to have to think on it some - ]
onei: (i believe in your delicious)

I'm sorry, this is...very new to me.

[ But she is now holding it a bit farther away. And not talking so loud.

And bowing apologetically at the camera. ]
onei: i had to shoot the fire extinguisher on the toaster oven, one quick blast. it was a matter of safe over sorry. (don't be alarmed at the kitchen mess.)

You should appreciate what you have, not treat it as your due.

[ Mabel climbs back into view, using the chair. She then throws a triumphant finger into the air. ]

HEAT SEEKING BAT!

[ Would a baseball even be hot?? Who cares! It still sounds a million percent more interesting than regular baseball. ]

That's what makes them interesting, though!

In hindsight, I think they were concerned that I was holding him prisoner?

[ Both! It was definitely both, moreso because Robbie was very new to the hero thing at the time. ]

But I don't speak alien cat. I don't even speak Earth cat - I just make good guesses sometimes. Incidentally, space cats still like the same things Earth cats do.
