[video] Show Me Your Moves

[The camera bobs and judders as someone sets it up, catching flashes of a scruffy, unkempt face and pale arms and the sky for a moment.]

Okay so I've been thinking, we've got super powers here, right?

[The picture steadies pointing out at what appears to be a beach, but is more likely to just be a simulated section of beach on the Legion World. It falls over, and Grif swears as he rights it again.]

...Anyway. By super powers I mean amazing things you couldn't do before, because otherwise you're just from some world where you can do cool stuff most of us can't and that's not superpowers, that's just life being unfair to the rest of us.

[Satisfied that the comm is stable, Grif steps out in front of it as he continues.]

So, I want to see what you guys can do. And because I am all about being fair, I'm going first.

[He swings his arms a little, takes a couple breaths, then bolts to the waterline. He's nothing but a speed blur followed by a trail of thrashed sand. He stops at the surf and charges back just as quickly. At the end he's doubled over in front of the camera, hands on his knees, huffing and wheezing.]

Whoo!

[He laughs as he catches his breath, which makes it somewhat harder, and is grinning despite how much that tiny display of super speed seems to have taken out of him. In good shape, this guy is not.]

It's like... it feels like everything's normal speed to me when I do it and everything's all slowed down. It's crazy shit, man.

[Grif plunks down heavily in the sand and picks up the comm again, still visibly panting.]

So. That's me. Show me what you got.

((OOC: Feel free to threadhop each other and talk about powers if you like! Grif is encouraging sharing.))

[Toothless hears that particular comment, and glares into the screen. Then, briefly, his eyes widens in recognition of something behind Grif, and bounds off.]

Wait, where are you-

[There's a splash off screen, as Toothless jumps into the seawater surrounding Hiccup's habitat.]

No clue what that was about...oh. OHHHH.

{It's difficult, but Hiccup spots what Toothless did. Behind Grif, in the distance, there seems to be cliffs rising out of the water.]

Yeah, ah, question. Does this coastline look familiar to you?

[The view on Grif's end changes from a messy haired dragonrider, to a distant view of a Hawaiian coast. With a black figure, bobbing in and out of the water, quickly moving towards it.]
wherenoonegoes: (Toothless unimpressed)

[Grif didn't actually have to run. The dragon hadn't been coming after him personally. Just his beach. His nice, clean beach. That Toothless, upon making land, promptly took a dump on, before turning around and heading back to the sea stacks.]
wherenoonegoes: (Hiccup silly me)

[The dragon in question plods back into view, looking oh so proud of himself.]

Didn't anyone ever tell you not to insult a dragon if you don't know how they're going to react?
