thelegion | An Important Question [post Time Ripples]

[ Are you tired of random kids popping up with not clear explanation? Too bad here's another one: small, red headed, freckly and currently about 10 feet up in the air. Because flight ring. ]

Hey, these rings are super cool, but where can I get a skateboard? Those still exist in the future, right? Do you guys have hover boards? Or like rocket powered skateboards? That would be way, way cooler.

[ Pause for slight altitude adjustment while the nameless kid drifts aimlessly through a doorway.]

This place is really huge, though. How do you guys even get anywhere when you're in a hurry? They said I'm supposed to have superpowers, but I've tried teleporting and shit and nothing's different. How do you tell if you have powers?

[ These aimless questions could probably carry on for a while, but luckily for everyone, she gets distracted by something in the hall she's drifting down and ends the transmition without much further ado. ]

[ooc: deeply belated header change, cuz i don't know how things like dates work. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

They didn't give you any idea of what powers you might have before you left the hospital?

Some people are a little too excitable to stick around for that. Not that I blame them, but it's not exactly easy on the rest of us.

[ This is just a solid 30 seconds of wet fart noises. ]

Incontinent on top of everything else. Wonderful.

Takes one to know one.

Excitable as in genuinely excited or as in terrified?

Probably safest to say 'A little of both'.

Has there been a lot of people like that?

Not that I've noticed. But most people don't tend to charge out of the hospital first thing, so who knows how many I missed?

[He makes a small noncommittal noise.]

That sounds as if it would be a bigger problem for the hospital staff then it would be for us. I have to imagine they have quite a few...interesting stories.

[Let's just skip the fact that he wasn't exactly the best patient himself the first time around.]

Sure. I can't fly or lift heavy shit or run faster or go through stuff, either.

That's all the doctors told you? Or was that just what you've figured out on your own?

Both? They said a lot of shit, all they really had to say was it was okay for me to leave cuz I wasn't gonna blow up or anything. Figured I could figure it out later.

Heh, well if you're not going to blow up I suppose that means you can scratch spontaneous combustion off the list of powers, too.

[He seems to realize that might have been a bad joke as soon as it left his mouth, as he awkwardly clears his throat before pretending like it didn't happen.]

Have you managed to find the gym or simulation room yet? Those might be helpful for testing potential abilities. Or at the very lease, any that may be combat-centric.

[ Jesse doesn't even notice the awkwardness, she just snorts. ]

That would be the shittiest power ever.

Nah, I haven't looked yet. I've been trying to find a skateboard and maybe a map since I just got here.

[ #priorities ]

[And that just encourages him.]

Pft, yeah. I suspect it would be something of a one and done unless it was combined with invulnerability or some very good healing abilities.

I'm afraid I can't help much with the skateboard. There may be a map function on your Omnicom, though.

What if it was just parts of you that blew up, like everytime you farted your butt blows up. Gross.

[ AH THE COMEDY STYLINGS OF A 13 TOTALLY 14 YEAR OLD.

And a brief pause while Jesse messes with her Omnicom ]

Shit, when they said this place was a world, they weren't fucking around.

[He makes a disgusted noise despite obvious amusement that he's failing to hide.]

Aw, come on. Though...I guess that could at least make it more useful. Still disgusting, though. Grife.

Yeah, the names pretty literal. Getting used to it isn't quite as daunting as it might seem at first, though.

[Said the speedster who can walk through walls.]

[ She's a comedy genius, Thad, accept it. ]

Gotta get used to it first, though. They should put in trains or something so people can get from their rooms to the cafeteria in less than a week.

[He'd genuinely never thought about that before. How did none speedsters get around Legion World so easily?]

I'm...kind of surprised that they haven't, actually. Though, I suppose most people fly wherever they need to go here, which must take less time than walking.

Flying is pretty sweet.

[ Sez the girl who is absolutely still aimlessly floating down corridors. ]

I bet there's awesome tricks and shit you can do with flying, like if you had rollerblades or something.

I suppose so. Honestly, I kind of prefer to keep my feet on the ground.

Admittedly it is something of a short person's best friend, though. [There's a slight pause before he adds;] Speaking from experience, not trying to imply anything.

[He doesn't even have to climb on things to get to high shelves anymore. That was definitely a bonus.]

Keeping your feet on the ground is boring though.

Maybe, but speedsters aren't as useful when they can't get traction.

Have you had much experience with flying before being brought here?

Oh yeah, I guess you gotta have your feet on the ground to run.

Nah, just on my deck. Nobody's got powers where I'm from.
