[ The camera comes on, showing a kid wearing some kind of strange battle armor. Definitely young, too young to be part of the Legion. But the muscles and mess of spiky black hair probably give away who this is. ]

Um... I know I'm used to time travel and everything, but... I'd like to stop changing ages now.

It's really weird.

[ Grif is in one of Legion World's lounges. There's a space future pool table behind him, set up for a game. ]

Hey Legion, how's it going?

[ Wait. No. He holds up a hand. ]

Rhetorical question, don't answer that, it's not what I'm here for. What I'm here to talk to you about today is superpowers.

[ He's found his stride, and taken an almost public-service-announcement tone. ]

Do you have strange new abilities since coming to space? Were you just extra cool before the rest of us and nothing changed? Cause I definitely want to know what you guys got in the Time Trapper lottery and please make it look as awesome as possible.

[ He grins a little. Superpowers are the best. ]

For those of you who are new, which is most of who I'm talking to here? I'm Grif. Doubletime if you want to go all codename on me but... Grif. Really. Sometimes I look like this:

[ He scoops a space-age looking helmet painted bright orange off the floor, presumably, then drops it again with a thunk. It's armor, he's not gonna break it, right? ]

And me? I got this.

[ Grif disappears in an orange blur and suddenly, the pool table clears itself in a flurry of indistinct motion. He comes back down from super speed and casually leans the cue against it. ~~If anyone bothers to slow that down, it was an absolutely disgraceful display and he cheated at least six times.~~ Grif is super smug. ]

So yeah. I kind of got the best power already? Sorry.

[ Oh right, there was something else he wanted. ]

And everybody else? Uh. Anything new that's cool? ...Or just tell me how the last mission went for you. I got to go into the past and wrestle Batman and stuff. He's kind of a dick, honestly.

((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but this also an invitation to threadjack. If you want to have a character jump into a thread somewhere with anyone else you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after Gods Among Us / To Have And To Hold / The Other Mother and before Time Ripples, so it is slightly backdated to give characters a chance to meet the regular versions of each other before the nonsense begins.

[ A very angry looking Videl turns on the feed, looking younger (and angrier) than she has for awhile. Gone is the attractive bob haircut, replaced with the unruly short 'do that makes her look like she has permanent bed head. ]

Okay, you know what? I've had it up to here-- [ Videl makes a measurement motion with her hand extending above her head. ] --with this universe and its time travel junk.

I remember being older here and talking to everyone and going on missions and stuff, but it's more like deja vuu, or like an out of body experience. I remember telling everybody I was married and had a kid, too. Except I don't remember any of that actually happening. [ She huffs impatiently. ] Apparently, I sort of... "blipped"-- [ She makes finger quotes. ] --home for a sec and then reappeared like ten years older. And I remember the whole "being back" part, just not the "being home" part.

[ Her frown deepens. ] I don't think anybody has any idea what's wrong with me. I went to Dr. Gym'll and he said I'm definitely 18 and I've definitely never had a kid before, so either I lied to everybody for months or he has no idea what he's talking about.

[ An exasperated sigh. ]

I just want to find that Time Trapper guy so I can punch his stupid face in.

(ooc; Videl is permanently aged down to a teenager again. She’s lost all her memories of being an adult except for what occurred here in Legion. )

fourstars

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

[ The feed comes on to show Gohan's face. Looking younger than he did before, although that absolutely shouldn't distract from his completely bewildered expression. ]

Y-You know, I'm pretty used to a lot of things... but having memories of being older that are still somehow in the past?! That might actually be a first for me, believe it or not!

(ooc: using the time ripple event to age him back down to being a teenager, but i'm having the time trapper give him his legion memories back. tl;dr: he's eighteen again, permanently, but remembers being older. oh, and uh, pretend this is after the plots, obviously.)

unrecovered

[Wash looks a bit better than he did a week ago; turns out a successful mission and a plan for the future really do help.]

We've all seen the Legionnaire Legacies, and I'm pretty sure we're all tired of them. Well, Mirage is a genius, and she had an idea: we'll make fake ones. Use our Anywhere Machine to pull real footage, create fake footage to supplement it, write our own narratives, and broadcast them. It'll discredit the press, and it might keep them off our backs, because there's no reason to broadcast someone's past if it's already been done by someone else.

So. Who's in?

deafleppard

You guys weren't kidding.

Time travel's a hell of a thing.

[ooc note: Gwen's been updated to her most current canon point!]

zippity

How's it so many of you are runnin' about and not bringin' back any stories with you? Some of us could use it you know! Instead of havin' 'em all dumped out when they drop those spots on the news, anyway.

[Ahem.

Tracer is broadcasting from the monitor room, where she's clearly been serving out her duties with as much patience as she can muster (read: not a lot). Even with all of the activity, Tracer can't deal with the tedium. She's rigged up a way to continuously spin herself in a chair while she spends time dispatching Legionnaires as is expected of her. Even with that, she's incredibly restless, and has herself perched in the window, lounging on the sill in a manner that probably would be considered unsafe if she weren't capable of rewinding time around her.

Overwatch's systems were mostly automated. When a warning went out, the Strike Team left -- and that was the end of it. This dispatching nonsense makes her thankful that it never got quite as large, but also makes her nostalgic.

That's not the only thing, but. Well, its a big part of it. And while she's trying to think of a way to bring up that first thing without outing herself, she can be seen tapping her fingers nervously on the big glowing machine on her chest.]

...speakin' of stories. How many of you lot got families back where you came from? Maybe a better half...

[She pauses here -- not too long though. Don't want to be suspicious.]

...do you think they're still lookin' for you? It's been a tick, hasn't it?

marryonette

-A new face has appeared! At least new to almost everyone of the Legionnaires save for one. And boy does she have a ten mile wide smile. She's practically bounding in her seat as she starts to record the video. Fortunately for her, these devices aren't impenetrably high tech. Hell, compared to spellphones, they're downright antiquated by being an actual physical object. Still, those blue eyes of her (what was with the odd rings in her irises?) were shining with what could only be described as wonder.-

"To the Legion of Superheroes I make this solemn pledge: To use my powers for good. To fight for justice and protect the innocent. To aid my fellow Legionnaires in times of peril and to keep their secrets safe.

I choose a new name to honor the heroes of the past. I am Miss Guns-n-Roses!"

It all sounds so romantic! The life of a super hero! I can hardly believe it! If there are three jobs every girl wants in life, they are being a queen, being a rock star, and being a super hero, and while I've come really close to two of those, this third one is right at my doorstep! I'm already here, even!

Who knows, in between rescuing cute alien animals and saving innocent people from danger and evil, I might even finally find MR. Guns-n-roses! -She's starting to talk faster, like really fast...- Can you imagine? If I were the wife of a super hero, with both of us being super heroes, we'd become the ultimate power couple! The literal ultimate power couple! Our honeymoon would be on a distant planet with the most gorgeous of sunsets over a glowing ocean, but be interrupted by a sudden attack from a dastardly, scheming villain! He'd cackle, -She deepens her voice throwing her head back and turning her hands upwards with fingers hooked- "MWA HA HA HA! I FINALLY HAVE YOU, MR AND MRS GUNS-N-ROSES! PREPARE TO SUFFER!"

But our love is too strong for them! In a long, blistering battle, we destroy the evil with the marvelous full strength of love between husband and wife! A bond unbreakable by the most terrorizing villains of the galaxy! We'll stand as a testament to love, and when the dust settles, we'll hold each other closely! Mr. Guns-n-Roses will say to me -Another deep voice, and a bad British accent, apparently?- "Darling, I don't just fight for the galaxy, I fight for you, and nothing can take you away from me~"

-... Her nose is bleeding. A lot. Oh god.- So perfect...

A-anyways, hello! -She quickly grabs a tissue to dab up that rush of blood.- I'm actually Elphelt Valentine! It's nice to meet you all, and I hope we can all work together for a better tomorrow~!

[Miku keeps her eyes down. Behind her is her quarters, looking as inviting and comfortable (and ridiculously pink) as can be.] I wanted to ask a question. My older brother was a folklorist, and he used to tell me all sorts of old folktales while also writing about new, urban legends.

[She fiddles with the comb that keeps her bun in place.] A lot of the ones I know are... they're a bit messy. But, I thought there are so many other people here, I wouldn't mind hearing an urban legend or two from you? If you'd like to, of course.

I'll share mine, but... like I said a lot of them are, ah... a bit scary.

((TW For creepy things and stories that sometimes have gore and murder in them))

[cw: Dipper's canon is supernatural/horror, so this LL contains everything from zombies (including eye gore), to petrified thrones of human agony, to implications of suicide, to tooth gore, to blood...waterfalls. If you have a specific horror squick you want to try to avoid, but want to read, PM me (Korel) and I'll let you know if it's in here.]

[The Legion World staff maintains a feed of all Legion-related media so Legionnaires can be kept abreast of any reporting that's done on them. Two women appear on the screen, sitting at a desk, their appearances altered by glam filters so that one is all pink hair and skin and sparkles, and the other is all in blues. They look pretty flashy and tacky but this is the future. Reporters don't exist anymore; they're "personalities" now.]

Shellee: I'm Shellee Star! [That would be the pink one. ]

Tammee: And I'm Tammee Tim! [That would be the blue one.]

Shellee: Welcome to another installment of Legion Watch: Legionnaire Legacies. In this episode, we're focusing on one of the youngest Legionnaires, a teenager who has inspired controversy with his actions in Murderworld, and has caused many to be intrigued about his possible origins. Tonight, we'll focus on a Legionnaire whose motivations are as mysterious as his callsign: Dipper Pines, aka Captain Mystery!

Hey, everybody! We're all from different worlds, so I was thinkin' - who's the strongest person where you come from?

Back home, I'm pretty sure the strongest person around is Whis. He's a... [Goku pauses, trying to think of how to describe him.] ...Come to think of it, I dunno what he is! Anyway, he's really strong - he can knock out the God of Destruction in one hit, and even travel through time on his own!

But there might be someone even stronger out there! [While part of his reason for asking is to hear about other worlds, it's mostly selfish - he wants to hear about the strongest people throughout the universes.] Doesn't matter who or what it is - I wanna hear all about it!

unrecovered

[He's been thinking about teaching this game to Legion World at large; he figures that other Freelancers will pick up on what he's going for and everyone will figure it out from there.]

Five weird things the press or fans have said to you. Go.

[When Brainy turns his omnicom on, he's clearly still in his bed in Medbay. One of the little hover devices is nearby, dangling multiple IV bags that are attached to a cuff on the wrist he's not holding the omnicom with. His hand seems fixed up a little but is still heavily bandaged. The swelling on his face is gone and while he still has some visible darker green bruising, it's clearly healing well.]

[For a moment, he opens his mouth as if he's going to speak. Stops. Opens it again. Stops. Then the train of thought finally leaves the station.]

Fun fact: Coluan neurobiology is quite complicated. Our neurochemicals loathe any competition; how dare those zeta-opioid receptor agonists presume to tell them what to do? Even when they're specifically formulated for my species, it takes very high doses of conventional pain killers to affect the average Coluan's mental state.

[A pause.]

Apropos of nothing, has anyone else noticed the walls of the outpost moving lately?

[He reaches out his hand towards a wall, just sort of vaguely flailing, as if he expects it to be closer than it is.]

iamresponding

[Rich hasn't been very vocal lately. After Murderworld, especially after running into those bugs, he retreated into himself a little bit. It wasn't full moping, just thoughtfulness, and he needed some quiet time.]

[But he's got to speak up on this. He's got a perspective most don't and maybe that can help.]

Kid Q already got the lecture out of the way, so I'm not gonna do that. That isn't what this is.

In that last mission, some of us had disagreements about lethal force, and we had to sideline them because of the urgency of the situation, but it's something we still need to talk about, because those disagreements aren't going to go away.

Now, I occupy a unique position on this. I've been a meta-powered cop, a superhero, and a soldier. I've been to war. I've led an army in a war against omnicidal space bugs, and you can be damn sure I didn't have my soldiers hold back.

I didn't hold back either. I've killed more than my fair share of sentients, and when it came down to facing the intergalactic despot that ordered his army to slaughter billions, I pulled his guts out through his throat. And you know what, if given the chance to do it again, I'd do it ten thousand times over.

My point here is I get it. I've seen that side of things well enough to understand sometimes that's what it takes. The problem here is this is not warfare that we're facing. Right now, we're law enforcement. We have a mandate from this universe's government to follow their laws, and a responsibility to the public to follow their morals -- and they value life here -- and having also allied myself with some ugly customers for the sake of the common good, I know that even terrible people can sometimes find purpose and redeem themselves, so this universe valuing life enough to give at least some criminals a chance to reform ain't exactly entirely misplaced.

But whether any of us agree with that principle or not, the public trusts us to follow a certain standard and we ultimately serve them. When it comes to police work, there's levels of force. With a team of over thirty metapowered individuals, we're a small army. I don't know if any of you noticed, but even with non-lethal force we cleaned their clocks the other day, with no casualties, most of the villains detained, no civilians harmed, and minimal serious injuries.

Having that kind of power and the kind of numbers we have changes the entire ballgame, because it changes the nature of the conflicts we face. It means that villains can go to greater extremes -- extremes that in other situations would require fatal force to stop -- and we're powerful enough that we can handle those extremes. When you're a superhero, controlling battlefield conditions and preventing casualties is a lot easier than it would be without the metapowers.

I guess what I'm trying to do here is bridge the gap and try to help people understand why all this is the way it is.

So, that last mission was something, wasn't it? Yeah. For those who don't know me, hi. I'm Jason. Nice to meet you.

Anyway. I know everyone's busy with, well. That last mission and stuff. [He's good enough not to say "WE ARE PLOTTING THE OVERTHROW OF THE UP" at least.] But I've got our next camping trip lined up. I think you'll find it cool.

It's underground again, sorry about that. But hear me out. Soola Noona. It was this mine, right? They were harvesting crystals for pies... piezo-whatever. Harvesting crystals to power machines. Put them under pressure and they generate electricity or something like that. [Barry would probably correct him.] Anyway, turns out that these crystals have some unique harmonics or something, they vibrate at soothing frequencies, so about three hundred years ago they shut down the mines, stimulated the crystal growth, and turned the entire mining rig into a vacation retreat.

They've got singing crystals to promote a calm environment, therapeutic hot springs, some untouched cave systems if you want to go spelunking, modern amenities, the works. I think we'll be able to chill out a little there. We can get to know the new people, the new people can learn some about us, and we can do some of the same team building stuff we did the last few times.

And Hiccup, before you ask, the place was designed so that cargo ships could dock to load up, so there's room for Toothless to stretch his wings.

relativityspeaking

I've got good news: Reinhardt and Brainy are both stable and safely tucked into healing pods. They're both expected to make full recoveries.

I figured I'd get that out there up front. The rest is going to get long, so it's split into parts.

[ooc: People can respond to the two parts of the briefing in the subthreads below.]

justice_from_above

[The video feed opens on a tattooed face with a serious expression. Fareeha is here for business; it hadn't taken her long to agree to the Legionnaire's Oath, given the dire situation and her own desire to help where she could.]

Fareeha Amari reporting in. I would appreciate an internal summary from the front lines, if anyone is willing and able. As well if anyone has any questions about my training or previous experience, please do not hesitate to ask.

Action - later

After hearing from America that Reinhardt was here and in the medical wing, she makes it a priority to go check in on him and announce her own arrival. Sadly, when she arrives, she'll not find him there - or likely to be anywhere.

Feel free to catch her anywhere between the living quarters and medical.

sir_vancelot

[Vance is kicked back in his room, a couple of data pads spread around him on his bed, with one floating into his hand as the video comes on. Because telekines show off like that.]

[The camera picks up what's on the pad for a moment before Vance turns it to look at it. It's just a list. Or, rather, the way he scrolls through it, probably a bunch of lists.]

One of the things that I've noticed is that we're getting a fair amount of overlap in powers. Enough that even the anons have been commenting on it. And I know that, for some people here, it's the first time that they've had powers. Or the powers that they normally have have changed.

While the native Legionnaires have done their best in offering training to everybody who wants it, I might be a good thing for some of us with more experience to offer ourselves as well. Nothing that anybody would ever be forced to do, but some mentoring of those newly empowered might not be out of place.

[He pauses, them grimaces.]

I mean. If anybody else wants to do it. I'm more than happy to offer my services to mentor any other telekines, for instance.

saltsweet

Okay, let me see if I’ve got this straight.

[ The feed opens on Videl with her usual judgmental expression, but she’s now sporting a significantly more stylish haircut than the last time anyone saw her. ]

It’s been ten years, and you guys still haven’t beaten Chronoblivion? What have you been doing all this time?

[ Further complaining is interrupted by a rustling noise next to her. Videl turns to look to her left and some indistinct mumbling can be heard off screen. ]

It hasn’t been ten years here? Well, how long has it been? [ More mumbling. Videl groans impatiently. ] You’re no help at all.

[ She returns her attention to the camera feed, running her fingers through her hair as she tries to call back memories she’s left untouched for years. It may not be evident by her appearance, but ten years have passed since Videl and Gohan disappeared from an off-world mission around Valor Day. ] I don’t see what the Time Trapper thinks he’s going accomplish by dragging us back now, after all this time. I haven’t been at the top of my game since before Pan was born and Gohan’s training is sporadic at best.

[ She heaves a sigh. Videl’s frustration is only surface-level though; deep down, she’s a flurry of excitement about the idea of reliving her glory days. ]

Anyone mind helping an old lady get up to speed? Last I remember, Gohan and I were on a mission on either Rimbor or Bgztl and it was getting close to Christmas. Or whatever they call Christmas here.

superscholar

--Oh, hey, it's working!

[ The footage clearly shows Gohan in his bedroom, the spiky black hair unmistakable. However, there are enough changes in his appearance to wonder if he'd done something different with himself lately. His hair stood straighter, he was wearing glasses, his clothing was less high school and more professional. But ultimately, what clinched it were his next words: ]

For a second there, I thought I forgot how to work this thing... anyway, hi guys, this is Gohan! How is everyone? I don't know how much time has passed here, but for me, it's been ten years since I was last here!

[ Suddenly, he pauses. Smile faltering, as a realization comes to mind. ]

Oh, um... is Chronoblivion still a threat? Or is this before that gets revealed? Oh man, I uh... I should've probably looked into that first...
