Hey guys, girls, and anybody who may not identify as either. We've had a rough few days. Which is understating things by a lot, but I really don't want to get into an itemized list of how bad it's been.

So, I'm tossing up an introduction and meeting log so we have a way to get our minds off of it for a little while, and so we can get to know each other better. I know Grif usually handles this sort of thing, but it's been a while since he did, and it seemed like a good idea.

For anyone who hasn't done this before, just toss in your name, codename powers, a couple things you want us to know about you, and anything else you wanna talk about.

I'm Barry Allen, the Flash, and I have superspeed. I'm also a CSI, and I really like pepperoni, olive, and jalapeño pizza.

This is a free for all mingle post! Barry 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 No Insanity Clause and Silent Horizon.))

I am Sariatu. You may call me this. I am a sword master.

[ a pause ]

Also I'm Kubo's mother.

[whyarewehere]

I heard you're also a monkey? Confirm or deny?

[meanmonkey]

I can turn into a monkey, yes.

[whyarewehere]

Kinda lost the superpower lottery there, didn't you?

[meanmonkey]

Thankfully, I have little need for further superpowers. My skill with a sword is more than up to the task.

I'm glad you're here.

Which probably sounds kind of weird without context, but Kubo and I were talking about our parents awhile back, and I'm just glad you two get to be a family again.

[ She smiles faintly ]

It doesn't sound weird. Kubo is a wonderful boy, I'm not surprised other people want him to be happy.

I'm glad I'm here, too.

Oh, hey, cool. You raised a good kid.

[meanmonkey]

I did. I'm very proud of him.

[rushing_by]

Did you teach him how to use the shamisen, or did he pick that up somewhere else?

[meanmonkey]

I taught him. When he was little, I was the one who'd tell stories like that. [ she smiles faintly at the memory, though it's a little sad. She stopped because she'd forgotten how to play as well as she had before. At least by then Kubo had learned well. ]

He found me a new one, for Valor's day. We've been playing together a lot.
