[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.)))

Is it weird working with Danny, considering you guys are Ghost Boy and Ghostbuster?

[ Grif has had a shower thought about that one. ]

[gonebyebye]

I don't see why it would be. It's not like he's actually a ghost. Even if he was, my team tries to leave spirits that aren't harming anyone in peace. It'd be a bit awkard if we'd made it our mission in life to catch every ghost, considering my girlfriend is currently one.

[whyarewehere]

...Well that's not the first time I've heard of that.

[ Grif still doesn't get that the people he thought were ghosts were just AI's. ]

How does that even...

You know what nevermind, I don't want to know.

[gonebyebye]

I swear, it's not as weird as it sounds.

[It's still pretty weird though.]

Jenny and I were dating before she passed on, and due to the circumstances of her death she's powerful enough to pass as fully human, right down to tangibility.

[whyarewehere]

Okay because otherwise...

That would...

...I'm just going to stop talking.

[gonebyebye]

Fair enough.

Any questions not related to my personal life?

[whyarewehere]

Yeah, no. I think I'm good for now.

[ordinarily]

You'd be surprised how many ghost hunters I know that literally do not understand the concept of 'leave ghosts alone'.

[ Red Huntress. Guys in White. Literally anyone that shows up in Amity Park, honestly. ]

[gonebyebye]

If we didn't know how to be diplomatic about this sort of thing, we would've been dead years ago. There's been a lot of incidents we've only managed to handle because ghosts that want to help know we won't try to catch them on sight.

[ordinarily]

Man, it's almost like there are both good and bad ghosts or something!

[ Does he sound bitter? Nah, he doesn't sound bitter. You're hearing things. ]

[gonebyebye]

No need to yell at me about that. I happen to agree entirely.

You sound a little bitter though. Understandable, really. Want to talk about it?

[ordinarily]

Sorry. It's a sore spot.

There's lots of ghost hunters back home, except most of them are stupid and just think all ghosts are bad, no matter what. Because, you know. That's totally fair.

[gonebyebye]

Assumptions. There's an old saying for that, although it probably doesn't translate into Interlac.

The Firehouse is always open if you do want to talk, by the way. Not just about this, but anything. If nothing else I'd like to pick your brain about that Ghost Zone of yours, see how it compares to any of the dimensions I've been to.

[ordinarily]

Oh, uh... yeah. Sure.

I mean, it's basically just a green void with floating purple doors, but I don't mind talking about it?

[gonebyebye]

Sounds a little like the Gozerian dimensions. Any floating landmasses or Escher-like constructs?

[ordinarily]

Lots of 'em.

Like, I'm not kidding, half the stuff in the Ghost Zone is literally just chunks of land floating in there.
