002 // calling all cars.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Okay. So, that was a little more than mildly unpleasant. Let's just chalk it up to growing pains.

Since people are talking about all this stuff anyway, and certain folks are part curiosity kills the cat and part OCD consolidation of information for their own benefit, I've just got to ask.


Hey all you, displaced "metahumans" -- this boy's curious. What can you do?



[OOC :: Context for those just arriving or those who have been sideswiped by last night's fighting! After Blue Beetle and Speed wrangled an attempt to get people organized, M stepped up to the plate as far as running the show, which Hulkling first gave them a hard time about quasi-jokingly. Things, however, quickly escalated between both Hulkling and Trauma, versus M -- with poor Blue Beetle caught in the crossfire -- which lead to this exchange, the "stepping down" of M as wanting to be organizer/leader, and the subsequent "volunteering" of Hulkling to try to run the show -- to which Hulkling has been O__o about.

This is an attempt by Hulkling to figure out, more or less, what people are working with power-wise, in the hopes of being able to come up with a plan that'll allow for the quick but hopefully not-tipping-off-Tony-Stark dissemination of information about an eventual meeting. He's trying to be nonchalant about it -- whether he fails or succeeds is up to you -- but then again Hulkling's never really been good with subtle.]

Calling all cars? Why do you want cars? The cars here are dumb, they don't even move on their own. None of them will talk to Waspinator!

Waspinator still has his wings, so he should still be a flier. Waspinator hasn't tried yet though, because Waspinator doesn't have boosters anymore and those were important. Waspinator does not want to fall off of building! Squishy body is more fragile than Waspinator is used to!

Uh no offense but I think I'm not the only one whose mind might have been... changed. Do you realize that you're speaking in third person? You might have had your temporal lobes damaged.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

You. Talk to cars? okay so that's new

So once upon a time you used to be able to talk to cars and had boosters and things -- what like, Iron Man? A metal suit?

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

What can we do, or what can we uh, legally do?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Straight up, Cloudy.

What you can do. Ins and outs.

[olsensandwich.livejournal.com]

Meta-human? Is this a new buzzword? What happened to the muties? I am totally a mutant I have an X-man costume.


You know what the question oughta be, green jeans? What can't I do?

Because in that case, I'd have to say I'm pretty much incapable at being unamazing. It's probably my Axe effect. I'm also no good at singing like Barry White--I'm more of a Liza Minelli.

Also I can't beat Tetris, because nobody can, and I'm still just a strikingly awesome, mutated human!

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

But I'm not a mutant. :(

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

I don't know about the whole metahuman business, really. It's the little black dress of superhero talk around these parts -- I hear it's all the rage.

Okay, other than not bring unawesome, if I hit you with a Mac truck, is it going to hurt? Leave a bruise? Will you explode? Come on, dude. Work with me.

Dude. I beat Tetris. Great I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day, way to go, Pool. But maybe that's just my superpower.

[seyfertsalvage.livejournal.com]

Well I'm not metahuman so I'm really not sure why I was brought here. I'm pretty good with tools and can fix just about anything... well that's about it.

That said my head hasn't stopped hurting since I arrived here. M said I might have been "changed." Any idea what that means?

[OOC: Juston is very gifted mechanic and programmer. Since being teleported to the city his natural gifts have been enhanced to crazy super-genius levels (think Forge from the X-Men or Mr. Fantastic) but well he doesn't know this yet. Partially because as a side-effect he's having some terrible migraines. Just thought I'd keep everyone up to score.]

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, if you weren't a metahuman then, what M thinks might be the case is you are one now. You haven't, like, been experiencing any strange happenings, dude, have you? I mean beyond the headaches. No strange voices, no accidentally putting your hand through a door, or levitating -- anything like that?

[scarabsuited]

Everything's set. Whenever you guys are ready. But be fast.

[scarabsuited]

As fast as one can be trying to find an unmarked locale...

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Okay, dude, small problem.

How do we find you? I mean it's not like--


Oh wait, duh. Nevermind.

[heavymetalclaws.livejournal.com]

You really gotta ask?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Dude. Not you.



Dork.

FREAKAZOID'S POWER CAN BE BEST SUMMED UP AS

[mr-freak-2-u.livejournal.com]

I AM THE INTERNET. lulz.

And I got your good old super strenght and speed basics. The perfect superhero for any job. ;D

Um, metahuman?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

I think. I read that on a t-shirt once in Chinatown....

DUDE WAS THAT YOU?


Ah, oldies but goodies, huh? Do you like, hulk-out or anything like that?

Listen, dude, I don't know. Iron Man said and people keep throwing it around, like it's some shiny new catch-phrase.

[phallboy.livejournal.com]

You could ask Speed.

Oooor, you could come find me at the coffee shop. You can do it. Come on, now.

[immortalitea.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Can I just send you a reference sheet? I'm sure my old teammates will speak well of m-

Ah. You know what? We probably won't have any of them in this world. thankfully

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on, just a little hint. Other than pack heavy artillery and wear orange kick-ass shirts, what else have you got in your life?

[its-maaaaaagic.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm a Homo Magi, which means I can cast miscellaneous magic spells by saying words backwards. I can fly and I also have some telepathy.

My magic relies heavily on me speaking which can be a bit of an issue sometimes. While I'm not as powerful as, say, the Phantom Shadow, I'm very versatile.


If you don't mind me asking, Mr. Green, you wouldn't happen to be from Mars, would you? (You remind me of someone I know, is all...)

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Ah, magic. I like magic -- then again, kind of totally biased, though -- I think that's pretty sweet. My boyfriend's a bit of magic too, though he doesn't really identify as a magician -- he's a witch. He does have to speak, most of the time, in order to get a spell to work though -- but strictly through positive reinforcement, so it's about the concept, rather than the actual words.

Ah, so you know Phantom Shadow? I was curious if, well, you could tell me what his deal is. He was able to like "read my energy" or something and totally knew what was going on with me even though I hadn't said a peep yet. IT WAS AWESOME.

Well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't totally out of this world, so to speak, but no, not Martian, I'm afraid. I come from someplace else, but we're still green. when we feel like it.

[thepun-isher.livejournal.com]

Sooo, if I were to duct tape your mouth shut, you couldn't do a think?

[wristcutting.livejournal.com]

I can kill.

[its-maaaaaagic.livejournal.com]

What a very succinct response.

[thepun-isher.livejournal.com]

Lurking. I'm very, very good at lurking.

Instant long distant travel along laylines (teleportation, or whatever you call it nowadays), shapeshifting, throwing your voice, breathing fire; the basics. All the stuff a good necromancer magician should be able to do.

I have more cards up my sleeve, but a magician never tells.

I was there yesterday in the lab, doing what I do best. Missed your power in all the hub-bub.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Lurking, huh? Like, invisible? Or walk through shadows sort of thing? Or?

Things like teleportation -- can you do it with a passenger, so to speak? Or no?

Ah, my power? I'm not nearly as impressive as you, guy -- what was your name again? -- I'm pretty much your average super strong, really hard to hurt super. oh and also a shapeshifer
