[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!)

Reach for the stars, Grif. Reach for the stars.

[whyarewehere]

the remote's closer, hal. did you ever think of that?

[ringslinging]

What, you haven't figured out how to use the Speed Force to change channels hands-free yet?

[whyarewehere]

dude the more you talk about the speed force the more i'm sure you're thinking of star wars and just very confused.

[ringslinging]

No, you don't strike me as Jedi material.

[whyarewehere]

now i think you're finally starting to understand me about this hard work thing! i'm so glad we could have this talk.

[ringslinging]

I was thinking more like the "look, sir, droids" guy.

[whyarewehere]

you're making a joke, but that's actually a pretty accurate summary of being on red team.

hot weather.
robots being dicks.
rampant incompetence.
ah, home.

[ringslinging]

Do you guys ever manage to hit anything when you shoot?

[whyarewehere]

i mean, sometimes? it depends on who it is and how much you care that day. and whether or not you brought ammo. that's kind of a recurring problem at red base.

[ Grif casually avoids mentioning that he's the one in charge of bringing the ammo. ]

[ringslinging]

There's probably something horribly ironic about me commenting on anyone else's lack of professionalism.

[whyarewehere]

they don't pay me enough for professionalism.
i'll stop sleeping through staff meetings when it stops working out great for me.

[ringslinging]

At least you get paid.

[whyarewehere]

have you guys tried unionizing?

[ringslinging]

The Guardians almost fired me my first week for saying something was a bad idea. Imagine how well a union would go over.

[whyarewehere]

you'd think being a super hero gives you great job security. i mean, if you're out of the picture who's gonna stop dr. terrible from stealing pluto?

[ringslinging]

The robot army worked out pretty horribly last time. I don't want to give them ideas.

[whyarewehere]

ugh. robot armies.

[ringslinging]

Has there ever been a universe where a robot army worked out well? Now I'm curious.

[whyarewehere]

this is a unique opportunity. if there is, we might actually get to hear about it!

so far, i'm just feeling so vindicated that robots are dicks everywhere else too.
