[text] Self Improvement

[whyarewehere]

[ Grif, uncharacteristically, has left a text post instead of filming himself with the camera out of focus or too close to his face or with a thumb over the lens. Weird. At least the complete lack of capitalization isn't surprising.]

so how is everyone's training crap going?

just curious. no reason.

by the way, you know that thing the flash can do where he uses his speed powers to go through walls? total bullshit.

ps: some of you are new, and i want to know what your deal is. do we have anyone who shoots eye lasers yet? that would be awesome.

(OOC: This is dated to after the mission. Preemptively declaring I do not mind if you threadhop each other to talk about training or w/e as long as the other player involved is cool with it!)

Let me guess: You tried to run through a wall?

[whyarewehere]

i did not.

[wherenoonegoes]

So you'd be willing to turn the video on and show me how not broken your nose is, then.

[ringslinging]

Speaking as someone who's friends with the Flash:

Not bullshit, you're probably doing it wrong.

[whyarewehere]

you're the green lantern. you do the green lantern thing. i'm not expecting you to be an expert on the speed power thing. trust me when i call bullshit on this.

[ringslinging]

You're right. I'm the Green Lantern.

The one that hangs out with the Flash, fights crime with the Flash, gets drunk with the Flash, and has been bailed out of some tight spots by the Flash, yes, going through walls.

you know, you should keep trying. practice makes perfect, right?

[Or he just likes the idea of Grif running into consecutive walls. Repeatedly.]

[whyarewehere]

what is with you guys and assuming i go around running into walls???
i just looked at this from the theory!

[thethinzooline]

if you're looking for the specific reason why people would assume you'd run face first into a wall, the reason is everyone thinks you're not that bright.

[headinjuries]

New, energy blasts, not from my eyes sorry maybe next time.

[whyarewehere]

alright, question 2: is this new for you or nah?

[headinjuries]

Nah, I did it back home too.

[deafleppard]

sure, just go ahead and ruin everyone's day.

[whyarewehere]

i am not ruining it. i am improving it. by being in it.

[deafleppard]

how do you figure?

[pinball_wizard]

I'd been wondering what caused the minor internal impact the system registered.

[whyarewehere]

it wasn't me! i'm talking theoretically!

[ Which is to say it was definitely him. ]

[pinball_wizard]

Grif, I built this ship. Do you really think I can't find out if it was you?

[the_civilian]

How did running on water go for you?

[whyarewehere]

pretty good! it's easier if it's flat. which the ocean never is, so that's going to suck one of these days, but i can do that!

[the_civilian]

That just means you have to practice more.

And maybe, eventually, you can take that wall.

[the_fuzz]

Grif, are you okay? Do you need any help getting to the medical deck?

[Grif's reply to Judy is a little slower than the rest. He's not used to people asking him if he's okay. He debates with himself for a moment whether to keep fighting about it.]

i'm fine, i'm already there.

[Thanking her for asking would be too much to expect from him. The lack of a sarcastic barb is, for Grif, enough.]

For future reference, if you ever do find that you have the Flash's ability to pass through solid objects, you don't actually have run into them to make it work.

Though, if you feel like continuing to practice in that manner by all means, please do.

[ That's not amusement you hear in his voice Grif. He's totally just trying to help. Like the good samaritan he is now. ]

[whyarewehere]

it's impossible and i've established that as a scientific fact.
but if it was, i would totally be doing it at a zillion miles an hour.
