[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!)

you're not the only one. we've got a few people like that. one guy even does the energy blasts thing.

me? my world was just lame and nobody could do anything cool.

[headinjuries]

Are you talking about Rich? Because yeah, we kinda got it from the same place.

[whyarewehere]

nah i'm talking about the one guy with the worst super hero name ever. spiky black hair. lots of muscles.

i forgot rich's power wasn't just being aggressively nice to people.

[headinjuries]

Haven't met that guy, what's the worst superhero name and can it really be that much worse than Squirrel Girl?

[whyarewehere]

wait, is there really someone here who picked squirrel girl?

[ It's just silly enough to get him to spring the effort for italics. ]

[headinjuries]

Not here, I mean. She's from back home.

But I guess with how many capes are around it's getting a lot harder to pick a good one that nobody's used before.

[whyarewehere]

what's yours then?
i'm doubletime, because i'm fast and the army sucks. but everybody's just sticking with grif and honestly i'm okay with that. the codename thing is kind of nerdy.

[headinjuries]

Look, I know it's not really a thing here, but codenames are kind of important everywhere else.

But I'm pretty sure this girl in my class figured out that I'm Nova and now trying to look her in the eye is incredibly awkward.

[whyarewehere]

you should go with it, dude! chicks dig super heroes i'm pretty sure that's a thing.

[headinjuries]

Nobody's supposed to know about it!

[whyarewehere]

see i never got that about the super hero thing. why is that such a big deal anyway? i mean sure the bad guys will do bad things closer to where you live, but isn't kicking their asses already in the job description?

[headinjuries]

Some crazy assassin chick who works for Thanos took my family hostage once? So, yeah, it's a problem.

[whyarewehere]

you won though, right?

[headinjuries]

Yeah. She didn't think I'd fight dirty, but if she wanted me to fight fair she shouldn't have called my mom a cow.

[iamresponding]

You think I'm nice? D'awwww.

(No take-backs.)

[whyarewehere]

oh get me a barf bag, superman.

[iamresponding]

You think I'm niiiiiiice.

[whyarewehere]

that doesn't mean i don't think you're annoying. nice people are that!

[iamresponding]

Yeah but the fact you assess people in your head as whether or not they're nice means it's a value judgment you actually pay attention to. And you think I'm it.

[He's got you on this one.]

[whyarewehere]

you're never gonna let this go, are you?

[iamresponding]

nope

[whyarewehere]

be careful supes, being a petty jackass will get you off the nice list!

[iamresponding]

You are such all talk. All talk all the time.

[whyarewehere]

i talk a lot, what's your point? is this some nice guy version of trying to tell me to shut up?

[iamresponding]

This is the nice guy version of saying you're all talk about how you hate everyone but deep down inside you get squishy over people being nice to you and trying to be friends.
