[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. )))

[ His tone drops just a little. He's been screwing around, but two vs one is starting to feel a bit personal here. ]

[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?

I never did anything to you.

In all honesty, right before coming here I spent most of the last seven years posing as a bounty hunter. The kind of people you had to cozy up to in those circles weren't exactly what you could consider sensitive in any way, and their sense of humor was fairly...uncouth.
I suppose I'm just not really used to conversing with people whose sensibilities could be considered "normal" anymore.
[She gives a half shrug.]
Not really an excuse, just context. Make of it what you will.
no subject
I'm not sensitive, I just don't know you, okay?
Look. Just... give me a bit, alright? I promise I'll be making fun of you in no time, I just need to gather some material first, alright?
[ So basically he's admitting that he's been completely outgunned in teasing for once. ]

C'mon dude, she doesn't need the help.
