[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. )))

Just hanging out in the big meeting room while there's nothing going down. Why?

[He's actually journaling, but that's, you know, his business.]

Well, okay, for starters: you.

[Azula smiles. It is not a reassuring smile.]

No, just firebending. Though I did master the advanced skill of creating and controlling lightning. Everyone says I'm a prodigy.

...Do you really want me to describe the salad I had for lunch that badly?

Oh, boy.
onei: we cannot have been the first people to have ever thought about shooting that guy with crossbow (just so we're on the same page)

And you're under the impression that this is a good thing?

[personal profile] jonesiseverywhere 2016-09-21 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, basically! I don't gotta buy my own explosives anymore!

[It was a huge expense, you don't even know.]

This is the first time I've ever heard Grif ask about healthy food. I'm pretty sure you just caused a miracle.

[She sticks her tongue out at Grif.]

Your loss!

headinjuries: you are a moron (help me help you realize)

[personal profile] headinjuries 2016-09-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, you would've given just as much crap to anyone else posting this, I figured somebody should return the favor.
unrecovered: (Face: You've got to be kidding me)

[personal profile] unrecovered 2016-09-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
And whose work did you just destroy?

It's also true of three year olds who set their brother's bed on fire with the flick of a wrist.

[That was an exaggeration - she'd had to do a bit more to start the fire - but he wouldn't know that.]

Hang on. Did you firebender? You wouldn't happen to know Zuko, would you? Because that's the same way he described his fire powers way back when he was here.
