[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.)))

Any rodents of unusual size?

How'd you guess?

[attached is a picture of something that looks like a cross between a beaver, a porcupine, and a crocodile, in tropical colors. The yellow and magenta of its quills is striking against the dim green of the forest. Kubo's face is in the corner of the picture, eye wide with surprise at the bucktoothed, fluorescent rodent.]

There were lots of these around the rivers. They weren't the only ones, just the ones that attacked us least.

[gonebyebye]

It's from a movie called the Princess Bride. Two of the main characters end up traveling through a swamp, where they have to face quicksand, giant rats, and jets of fire bursting out of the ground.

You'd probably like it, actually. It's a fairy tale-like movie, but the neat thing is they frame it as being story that's being told to a young boy by his grandfather.

[bachido]

That sounds like a good story. If it's a movie, maybe I can ask Wash to play it for all of us.

There weren't any jets of fire on Possuelo, though. Or if there were, I didn't see them.

There were lots of other amazing things, though! I'm telling one of the tales tomorrow. You should come and watch.

[unrecovered]

As you wish.

You know, I was just trying to figure out what to show for the next movie night.

Inconcievable!
