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!

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

[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. :(

[olsensandwich.livejournal.com]

And you're no Mary-Kate.

Seriously, what is UP with all the half-pints? Did I get dropped into a super-powered episode of the OC?

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

I think it's doesn't just mean mutants, Cloud9. I think it's like a...generic buzzword. You know, one that's a bit more "PC" than -- oh let's here -- freaks.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

Straight up, Cloudy.

What you can do. Ins and outs.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

Uh, well I can manipulate these vapors. And I can fly. And sometimes choke people.

Plus I have really good aim.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

If this is the OC, then Camp Hammond was America's Next Top Model.

I know I'm not pretty. You don't have to rub it in.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

Ohhh. I guess I'm just used to people saying mutates, since there's barely any real mutants left.



So, are you really in charge now, Teddy?

[olsensandwich.livejournal.com]

Someone give me a call when it's America's Next Zombie Uprising, because I am bored to manly tears. One can only watch Stargate reruns for so long.

[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.]

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

Z-Zombies?

I know this guy who can turn into a zombie. :(

[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...

[olsensandwich.livejournal.com]

Why the hell not? Beats sitting around eating Funyuns all day waiting on Iron-Butt to give me a job.


On that note, Twenty bucks says you're reading this gunk, Tonyboy. You know I ain't doing any superheroing without a little financial compensation.

[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.

[olsensandwich.livejournal.com]

Explode? Depends on what pocket gets hit first. Some stuff is more explodey than others.

Unless it was the face...Last time I got hit in the face by a semi it wasn't so bad. Tingly, even.


Though why are you even asking me? Don't kids read comic books anymore?

I've got me a swank little healing factor that keeps me goin'. Not to mention my witty commentary that gets rave reviews from friend and foe alike.


You are a liar NOBODY beats Tetris. Unless you know Russian secrets. I suspect you.

[heavymetalclaws.livejournal.com]

You really gotta ask?

[seyfertsalvage.livejournal.com]

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]

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]

Some of these folks seem to come from places were mutants don't even exist. So I think Stark was trying to come up with a nice shiny catch-all phrase to mean "my new playthings".




"In charge" is really kind of a misnomer here, Cloudy. I'm more sort of in the vicinity close to the front of the line? Or something? I tried to tell them it was a bad idea.

[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?

[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?
