[If you're awake, you might notice a buzz of static from your communicator, followed shortly by a ringing laugh and everyone's favourite flanged lady.]
I've often heard that the ability to adapt to a new situation is key. You have changed, I have changed, just like you... I think I'll treat myself to a bit of a belated birthday present, if you don't mind! Let's see how the pieces deal with a few adjustments.
[If you weren't awake before, you are now. Every affected character experiences an electric shock, strong enough to jolt them out of whatever they might be doing. Those still wearing their communicators will get it stronger, enough to really hurt. Those with very obvious powers (those who have more trouble looking human) might even black out for a second. When the jolts stop, nothing feels different. There's no blatant shift in how you feel, no glaring mistakes with the way the world works. You feel the same as always.]
[Until you try to use your power, that is. It might be right away, it might be tomorrow morning, it might be in a few days. But rest assured, that's not going to work the way you think.]
Oh, this should be interesting.
[OOC; Initial reactions may go here, especially to the audio - but chances of getting a response are low. Go ahead and panic at each other, if you want!]

That can't be right. It works on figurative--
Come again?
[ voice ]
What works on figurative?
I didn't know your ability could cause electrical interference.

[Sssstatic buzzing. He is not turning on video.]

[ Oh dude, Tony's cool with that. :( ]

[Pause.]
Question. Are there any stores still open that sell heavy-duty rubber gloves?
[ voice ]
Try Wal*Mart.

[zzzbbzzzttt.]
Perhaps Target has some.

[Small zapboom. Edward yelps and there's scrambling and cursing and stomping and sizzling.
He turns off the communicator.
Three minutes later, it's back on.]
I'm shocked. Er--no, no, not shocked. Appalled. Just appalled.

Perhaps. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing to cross-reference our power changes. You are somewhat of a decent technological fellow, or so I hear.
