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

[whyarewehere]

[ 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.
If there's anything I can do to improve your dumb Grif-assisted minglepost experience, feel free to ping me at zitasaurusrex.)))

There are three levels of dick, Danny: Not, kind of, and total.

It's not a nuanced system.

[ordinarily]

I mean, I'm totally fine with using "total" here.

You kind of deserve it when you make yourself an evil dictator. Also a jerk.

[whyarewehere]

Well it doesn't make him a great guy, but there was tragic backstory shit in there.

[ Like it was a TV show. Right. ]

So I would kick his ass again, yeah. [ Grif says that like he really helped with the Superman end of the fight, look what he'll take credit for assisting! ]

Just finer points of the dickery assessment scale. We might need a new one for superdickery.

[ordinarily]

You work on that. Just make sure the end of that scale includes Bad Timeline Superman somewhere.

[ A pause. ]

... Oh, right. You wanted superpowers, right?

[whyarewehere]

Sure thing, Danny, I'll put it on the top of my to-do list.

[ The joke is Grif has never maintained a to-do list ever in his life. ]

Yeah. C'mon, share with the class.

[ And the natural order is restored. ]

For the record? It's kind of weird to do this on command for a bunch of people I don't know.

[ Which is his way of saying that he's super embarrassed right now and really doesn't wanna be on camera, but...

Poof. Invisible. ]

Anyway, I'm Danny. Codename's Ghost Boy. And yeah, I know it's bad, but I'm sticking to it.

[ And he's back to being visible, although now he's translucent. ]

I can turn invisible and intangible. Also I can possess people, apparently. Didn't think that one actually worked, but hey.

[whyarewehere]

We still need to workshop you a new code name one of these days, dude.

[ Grif and Grif priorities. ]

[ordinarily]

I'll stick to my completely terrible codename, thank you very much.

Besides, it makes it funnier when I beat someone.

[whyarewehere]

Whateeeeever helps you sleep at night while going by Ghost Boy.

[ordinarily]

No but think about it.

Which is worse? Going by Ghost Boy, or getting beat by someone going by Ghost Boy?

[whyarewehere]

I'm not sure that works out, Danny. Just mathematically. We might have to get Brainy on this shit to really know.

[ordinarily]

I stand by my claim that my bad codename actually makes my wins even better.

[whyarewehere]

And I stand by that changing that it's still a bad codename.

I'm glad we understand each other.

Re: video

[gonebyebye]

Interesting. Any differences between your and Jericho's possession ability?

[ordinarily]

Um... well, I can walk into people, and just kind of wear their bodies like a suit? Not sure if that's how his works, but uh... yeah.
