[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. )))

[ Yep. That's what she got from the video. She's pretty excited about the idea too. ]
I'll show you my super power if you tell me where to get them! Just don't tell Dipper!
[ Since this power demonstration will absolutely take place inside Dipper's "no-fun zone" in their quarters when it happens. ]

[They're twins. That look like twins. He's going to razz anyone and everyone that questions if they're related.]
In the movie we filmed, there's this great scene where it looks like I backflip off a truck onto a motor cycle and you can't even tell it's her instead of me. It was really good editing.
no subject
[ Not doing the backflip yourself, whatever! MAN UP, DIP DOP. ]

[ She points at her screen almost accusingly. This might be one of the boys Dipper sort of mentioned then refused to elaborate on. ]
I mean... That's me!
[ She does her best "charming" laugh, which is actually really loud and lasts way longer than it should. ]

So, you've got all the embarrassing dirt on him, right?
[ A beat. ]
Kidding, kidding. Hi, I'm Sam.

[ She's stepping backward and miming a baseball player. ]
Oh oh! I'm gonna catch it! Where is it?! BLAM!
[ She stumbles backward over a kitchen chair. ]
HOME RUN.

But how's the batter gonna hit it if he can't see it?

By the way I'm Hiccup. I'm a friend of your brother. And the big scaly lizard behind me is Toothless.

Like a real, live dragon! Remember how I spent the summer before last reading the entire [25-book. It was 25 books.] 'Dragon-wranglers of the Mountains of Earth, Ice, and Flames' series instead of going outside?
He has one! For real!
And he owes me a dragon-ride, actually.

HI TOOTHLESS! Why is he Toothless? Does he breathe fire? Does he like being petted and wearing sweaters?

What would you do with invisible baseballs?

Nah, what happened is Grif moved his arm so fast that the wind knocked it down.
Ultimate fakeout.
[The man that shows onscreen has a long scar down the right side of his face, but otherwise, he looks cheerful enough.]
no subject
[ This guy looks like he would know for some reason. ]
Super heroes need invisible stuff all the time, right?!
no subject
Now we just punch the aliens. Way easier to win.
[She absolutely won't get the joke but he's not giving up an opportunity to mock the Mets. Ever.]
Usually we need invisible jets, invisible spaceships, sometimes invisible uniforms for invisible people so the clothes go invisible the same time they do.

Dipper's talked about you a lot.

Dipper, that scamp. What did he say about me? Was it all good?
no subject
Pretty much, yeah. I'm Wash - it's good to meet you.
