thelegion | [video][mingle post] Show Me Your Moves: Redux

[ Grif is in one of Legion World's lounges. There's a space future pool table behind him, set up for a game. ]

Hey Legion, how's it going?

[ Wait. No. He holds up a hand. ]

Rhetorical question, don't answer that, it's not what I'm here for. What I'm here to talk to you about today is superpowers.

[ He's found his stride, and taken an almost public-service-announcement tone. ]

Do you have strange new abilities since coming to space? Were you just extra cool before the rest of us and nothing changed? Cause I definitely want to know what you guys got in the Time Trapper lottery and please make it look as awesome as possible.

[ He grins a little. Superpowers are the best. ]

For those of you who are new, which is most of who I'm talking to here? I'm Grif. Doubletime if you want to go all codename on me but... Grif. Really. Sometimes I look like this:

[ He scoops a space-age looking helmet painted bright orange off the floor, presumably, then drops it again with a thunk. It's armor, he's not gonna break it, right? ]

And me? I got this.

[ Grif disappears in an orange blur and suddenly, the pool table clears itself in a flurry of indistinct motion. He comes back down from super speed and casually leans the cue against it. ~~If anyone bothers to slow that down, it was an absolutely disgraceful display and he cheated at least six times.~~ Grif is super smug. ]

So yeah. I kind of got the best power already? Sorry.

[ Oh right, there was something else he wanted. ]

And everybody else? Uh. Anything new that's cool? ...Or just tell me how the last mission went for you. I got to go into the past and wrestle Batman and stuff. He's kind of a dick, honestly.

((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but this also an invitation to threadjack. If you want to have a character jump into a thread somewhere with anyone else you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after Gods Among Us / To Have And To Hold / The Other Mother and before Time Ripples, so it is slightly backdated to give characters a chance to meet the regular versions of each other before the nonsense begins.

[Damn that would be useful, pulling ammo and weapons as you need them out of your personal pocket dimension? Connie's almost a little jealous.]

Now that's handy. I wonder if you'd be able to make something you're unfamiliar with if someone described it to you well enough.

I don't see why not. If I can learn how to make it, then I reckon I can make a construct out of it.

What about trick items? Something say, that looks like your handgun by all accounts but fires something unexpected? I wonder how creative you can get with it.

[Depending on the situation a bait and switch like that could be extremely useful. Imagine disguising a flash bang as something as innocent as a rubber duck.]

[ Oh, you're a fun one. He likes you. ]

From what I can tell, my ability to make constructs relies on how well I know the inner workings of what I make. If you want a trick gun, I could theoretically make one, but I'd have to know how I can alter the gun first, to make the ammunition fit.

Basically, if I can't make it without my powers, then I can't make it. All my powers do is cut out the need for resources.
