[video] With Great Power Comes Great Irresponsibility

[whyarewehere]

[ 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. )))

I'm gonna let you take the wheel on that one. I kinda told them to fuck off.

[ ...Not that he's not going to go crawling back for the attention. He just doesn't know that about himself yet. ]

[headinjuries]

What, like I want to talk to those people?

[ Dad jokes...dad jokes everywheeeeeeere ]

[sir_vancelot]

It is WAY too much to hope that you guys will just leave this alone, isn't it?

[headinjuries]

Hey, I just said I'm not gonna go post about it. That anon meme needs to be flushed down the toilet.

[whyarewehere]

Vance, have we done anything to ever give you any faith in us?

[sir_vancelot]

I have plenty of faith in Sam.

But you have a valid point.

[whyarewehere]

I knew we understood each other.

[whyarewehere]

Do we know anyone who doesn't hate them too much to go back?

[headinjuries]

Uh. Good question. Who didn't get much crap...

Maybe Hal? I mean, they were talking about him and tentacle-aliens, but I'm pretty sure that's all true stuff anyway, right?

[whyarewehere]

We could ask him.

Hey @GreenLantern can you do us a favor?

[ringslinging]

Maybe. But first you have to give me a good reason why I like you more than Vance to do this for you.

[whyarewehere]

It's me. I'm fun!

[ He is shocked and hurt that this is a contest. ]

[ringslinging]

That all you've got?

[kingtyrantranger]

Justice Prime sounds too cool to be some kind of 'ship name'. Unless it's a starship.

Nova Tights is more ridiculous.

[ringslinging]

See, now that is a compelling argument.

[sir_vancelot]

I hate you all so much right now.

[ringslinging]

Hey, we wouldn't do this to people we don't like. We'd just punch them in the face.

...okay, at least, I would just punch them in the face.

[whyarewehere]

That's why we like you.
