[video] Checking In
[ It’s that time again, gang! Grif’s broadcasting from scenic his room. You can tell it’s Grif’s room because it is an absolute disaster area. There’s all kinds of empty containers strewn everywhere, a pizza box, his other uniform (it’s rumpled and in serious need of a wash), and scattered bits of an orange suit of armor. Of note to those who’ve born witness to this appalling scene before, the far wall has a shiny little plaque on it. That’s new.
All of this is visible in the frame because Grif’s slouching back in his chair with the comm propped up on his desk. He’s a scruffy, somewhat flabby guy swiveling his chair lazily to and fro with one leg while eating… something as he talks. With his mouth full. Because Grif. ]
Alright guys, it’s come to my attention, as the one who tries to keep track of this shit around here, that we have new people. And when we have new people, that means we have new superpowers to figure out how they work.
[ Because clearly, clearly Grif is the only member of the team to take an interest in others and what they can bring to the table. It’s not that he’s nosy and just wants to know if anyone has eye lasers yet. He just gives and gives for this group, he swears.
Grif deigns to swallow before he continues. ]
So: New people. Lay it on me. Who are you, and can you do anything awesome? If it’s not awesome, make it sound awesome, cause that’s what I’m here for.
I’ll start for you:
[ He thumbpoints at his chest, getting space twinkie crumbs everywhere because he’s using that hand. ]
I’m Grif, Doubletime if you want to be that nerd who uses my code name, and I’m pretty much the fastest thing on this ship. Which is awesome.
[ He pauses for a moment, then adds, ]
…And the rest of you should probably come say hi? Tell them stuff? And tell me about the mission because I was stuck back here babysitting the ship and I mean... I took a lot of good naps, but...
[ He shrugs. Then he finishes off the space twinkie, balls up the wrapper, and throws it over his shoulder where it lands on top of the orange helmet. He is not even remotely concerned by this. ]
((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but if you want to have a character jump into a thread with anyone you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after the end of Lantern Plot, so characters who've been away on that are able to tag in too. )))

I'm not new. I think the Time Trapper just lost me for a little while.

[ Scruffy and somewhat flabby guy, meet scruffier and somewhat flabbier guy. He looks distinctly uncomfortable; he thought he'd have a little more time to get settled after near-suffocation and dimension jumping and apparently???? getting superpowers????? but this is fine, he's fine, it's good to make nice with everyone. ]
Hey out there, I'm Mister Universe! ...That's uh, not a superhero name or anything, I'm not... doing that stuff really... Just call me Greg. I have, uh, the power to fix stuff? I think? I didn't really get what they were talking about very well.

[Well, this sucks. OK...deep breath, get out of ramble-mode.]
Anyway, I'm Paladin, but my friends call me Pidge. I've got some stealth powers I guess, but my real strength is computer programing.

Jack Frost, both regular name and codename because why not? Anyway, pretty obviously I've got ice powers. I think they've been downgraded since coming on the ship though. Also, yes, I'm that Jack Frost. The real one. Not the weird creepy cartoon...thing.
[Probably because there's no moon and he's not going to talk about that. He rests his staff on his shoulder, clearly walking about because the teen can never sit still so he's probably anywhere on the ship right now.]
I think I missed the mission though, came in too late or something. Hope it well though.

[There's more than one thing to consider here. For one, Grif is talking like he's been here for a while. On the one hand, it doesn't sense; on the other hand, given when and where they are and the name of the entity that dragged them here, Wash is fully prepared to accept some form of time travel bullshit at play here. For another, it sounds like a mission just ended, and that's something he should catch up on, if only to be better prepared for the next one when it comes up.]
[But most importantly - the one thing Wash can't get over:]
You got super speed. You got super speed.
[Cosmic. Fucking. Joke.]

[He's trying to tell Grif about the mission because Grif asked about the mission so he's going to tell him about the mission. They said he could have his comm back and that means he can use it to tell people things because that's what the comms are for.]
[They told him to sleep but he can't sleep, won't sleep. He feels like his head has to be upright for the yellow to leak out. Yeah that's it.]
It got in...plllacesss.
[He draws the word out into something unnecessarily long. And slurred.]

[But he's not taking his armor off. Not yet.]
My name is Washington - Wash for short, I guess - codename Freelancer. [He has a codename for his codename what is his life.] They told me I have a healing factor, but I haven't exactly tested the theory. [He's just going to keep the power nullification bit to himself until he has a better handle on the situation and his new team.]
[Speaking of which:]
Does anyone have a full debrief of the mission that I missed? I'd like to know what I'm getting into.

Wait just a minute. Everyone else got wrapped up in that whole "rainbow ring" mess or whatever and you just hung out on the ship?

Apparently I can go invisible, which is useful. I also have my biotic rifle, which means in addition to sniping bad guys to hurt them, I can snipe good guys to heal them.
All at over three kilometers using just a scope, while firing right handed using my left eye. I wasn't called the world's greatest sniper back home for nothing.
[She seemed quite proud about that.]

[ Yes, this is now Grif's name. Granted, he's just humoring Grif for the most part, but it's fun to say. ]
Greetings, friends, and welcome to the Legion! I am Reinhardt Wilhelm, but you may call me Crusader! [ And he says that name with added emphasis, as if he was letting out a war cry. Yes, he's having fun with this. ] Unfortunately, I have no extraordinary powers like everyone else. But I have my Crusader armor with me-- [ Clank, clank! ] --which is more that enough for the fights ahead!
[ A pause. Did he forget something? ]
--Oh, yes, the mission! It went well, my friend! The road was a bit bumpy, but we all made it out safe, in the end!
