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.))

So how is the "control" thing working for you lately? Breakthroughs?

Last mission, I helped disarm one of the Smylex bombs by burning the gas as it came out of the nozzle. I mean, sure, the stream was about as big around as Master Chief's forearm, but I didn't blow up the bomb and therefore spread the gas everywhere, so I'm calling it progress!

[ Grif snorts. ]

Master Chief's forearms? Is that a new unit of measure around here?

[the_civilian]

I don't know, but I feel like people here are more likely to have considered the circumference of Master Chief's forearm than say, my thigh.

[whyarewehere]

...Yeah, okay, that's a good point.

[ Master Chief is just ridiculous. ]

Congratulations on your not-blowing-everything-up.

[ He kind of is. Tadashi's thigh probably is about as big around as Master Chief's forearm. ]

Thanks! I'm pretty pleased with myself. Fingers crossed I don't backslide.
