[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. )))

[What do you even do with your time if the world isn't almost destroyed monthly?]
no subject
[ He feels safe judging an entire universe based on the impending doom levels. ]
no subject
Your loss!
no subject
[ A challenge. ]
no subject
[She has no comprehension how insane that is.]
no subject
At home we just had one alien war and it lasted for like... ever. It was pretty bad but there was just one disaster.
Over here it's something new every five minutes. Space apocalypses, giant dudes trying to eat planets, evil jewelry...
[ He's talking about Galactus and the Yellow/Orange/Red Lantern fiasco. ]
When the day is saved I'm not gonna be looking for more trouble, you know what I'm saying?
no subject
Wait, you had an alien invasion that went on for years?
[Settings with a more realistic view of war than cape comics: pretty much everything.]
no subject
Basically it sucked.
[ "Basically it sucked" is most of history according to Grif. ]
no subject
...Earth has colonies where you're from?
[Yes, that's the part that jumped out at her. After the fight she just came from, her sense of scale has been skewed just a bit.]
What year is it?
no subject
[ Grif shrugs again. ]
I'm mid-twenty-sixth century. We've kinda started to figure out that time is weird here and doesn't mean a whole lot in different worlds, though?
no subject
[Wait.]
...Not the war part. The you're-from-the-future part.
[Everything is defined with respect to her personally. Obviously.]
no subject
I know, right? It's pretty great, except for the aliens and the space army part.
I think this place is better just because it's so much further in the future. It could really do with fewer horrible disasters, though.
no subject
[You get pretty blase about horrible disasters when you're from comics.]
That's why there are heroes. Handy, right?
no subject
[ Somebody doesn't look good in them at all and knows it. ]
no subject
[For instance, her family prefers to wear nothing on their legs at all!]
no subject
[ Truly a public service. ]
