[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. )))

[This is not as planned, and yet somehow not a surprise. It really is like dealing with a tiny girl Caboose. With an ostensibly higher IQ.]

You know, I've heard that when people have more than one power, the people in charge let them know.

[He's heard. Because he totally doesn't have a second power that he's not telling anyone about. Nope.]

So if they only told you about the hamster ball, then you probably only have the hamster ball.

Well, I didn't really pay that much attention during that part...

[ She sort of started screaming for her pet pig and didn't let them tell her much of anything. ]

So I might have a bunch of powers I don't know about yet!

How about we just focus on the hamster ball? And once you can control that really well, we look for any other powers you might or might not have.

Okaaay... But if there's a life or death situation and the chair has all the answers, it's gonna be on your shoulders!

If there's a life or death situation, I'll take care of it.

[Who has two thumbs and is still extremely averse to putting children in combat? This guy.]

[ No one can keep this one and her brother away from combat. It's pretty much their destiny or something at this point. ]

Okay, don't neglect your training! Next time I see you, I want you to be holding long deep conversations with chairs over candlelight dinner! Go go go go!

[That doesn't mean he has to like it.]

Yes ma'am.

[If she's anything like Caboose, she'll have forgotten about this by the next time they talk.]
