[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.)))

It's a little more complicated than that. To briefly summarize, my right hand can negate the supernatural. This makes checking it kind of difficult to do under normal circumstances.

ignore the beard up there, was on autopilot and forgot I had more than one 'A' icon now

[kingtyrantranger]

So why not find someone with a 'supernatural' power and test it with them?

[fantasykiller]

I don't really know anyone here who would be willing to let me try.

[notwithoutafight]

Obviously you haven't tried asking the right people.

[fantasykiller]

Are you volunteering?

[notwithoutafight]

You bet. [ Cockiness, thy name is Videl. ]

[fantasykiller]

[Touma looks at her suspiciously.]

Are you planning on throwing dangerous stuff at me like lightening bolts? Because I would prefer testing Imagine Breaker on something that won't potentially send me to the hospital if possible.

[notwithoutafight]

I don't need lightning bolts to send someone to the hospital. [ She says with a laugh. ] Besides, I don't have any powers like that. I have an ability called Kinetic Energy Absorption that makes it so the more I get hit, the harder I can hit in return. I can also turn my skin into metal. [ She fiddles with a knob on her watch and suddenly her peach skin is replaced with glistening grey metal. ]

[fantasykiller]

That's not reassuring in the slightest! You're not one of those violent, hot-bloodied women, are you?

[notwithoutafight]

I'm only violent with criminals and costumed idiots that keep too many secrets.

[fantasykiller]

I guess with that kind of criteria, I have nothing to worry about.

[Hopefully.]

Alright, let's do this. Where do you want to meet up?
