[video] from Kotetsu's comm

[wild_roar]

[well, he had to do it sooner or later. At the moment he's outside, looks like Central Park where all the cool kids hang out]

So, uh. I guess everybody's pretty certain that some of us on a certain bus that didn't go to Hell and didn't hear voices ended up getting our powers switched around. If that's the case, I just wanted to touch base with everyone who remembers seeing me, there, make sure you're all okay. I, uh...I'm not sure whose power I ended up with, but I managed to fling most of my furniture across the room last night without touching it, so I'm guessing it's some kind of telekinesis.

Oh! Oh, right. I'm, uh...I'm Kotetsu. Kotetsu Kaburagi. I'm new here. I only know a couple of people right now but I seem to be part of this Import community, now, so...hi! I'm just a guy like most of you, nothing to see here. I was at work when I got teleported onto that bus, so.

Uh, if the kid I lent my coat to still has it? I kinda need it back. That's my only good suit coat.

[wisecracked]

...Go figure it'd be the first person I talk to on the damn bus that ends up with my faeing powers!

[wild_roar]

Oh, hi Kenzi!

Is that so? You're a telekinetic? Well - normally, I mean.

[wisecracked]

[She sighs and slides a hand down her face.] Only in this place.

[wild_roar]

...oh. Well then. Uh, is there anything special about yours I should be aware of before I rearrange the furniture again?

[wisecracked]

[She shrugs.] I don't know. TK really seems to be one of those powers that varies from person to person.

[wild_roar]

Hm. Yeah, I suppose you're right about that. I think maybe I'll be better off if I just lay low and don't try to mess with it.

This is going to get fixed, right? This isn't...permanent?

[soulbonder]

I don't recall which one belongs to you. Many people threw coats on me that day. [... grouchy]

[wild_roar]

Oh, there you are. It's a brown coat...patches on the elbows.

How are you doing, kid?

[soulbonder]

How very useful! Unfortunately, the other coat I was given that day looks exactly like that. [he has never, ever heard the saying about biting hands.

his curt tone changes and reveals that he's just exhausted. kids are weird that way.]

I am doing much better.

[wild_roar]

Unfortunately? What does that mean? [nooo not my coat]

Well, that's good. I was a little worried at the time.

[soulbonder]

I live in the MAC, [ROOM NUMBER].

If you want your coat, come here and figure out which one belongs to you. [huff]

[wild_roar]

Oh, good! I can run upstairs and find you then. That'll be easy.

Just how may coats did you manage to collect all at once?

[acrossyourpath]

Power scrambles sound like fun. You should enjoy it while it lasts.

voice

[wild_roar]

[...does he recognize that voice? It sounds very vaguely familiar]

I don't know about that. I wasn't really planning on redecorating my apartment but now I kind of have to, thanks to this.

voice

[acrossyourpath]

That's a bad thing? Now you get to go shopping.

voice

[wild_roar]

Well, I...yeah, you know, I could! Spruce the place up a little. They don't really give you a lot to go with when you first get here.

voice

[acrossyourpath]

They don't, and those apartments just beg for a more personal touch. Maybe a new coat of paint.

voice

[wild_roar]

...that would hide the scratches pretty well.

I'm sorry, but have we met? I just get this weird feeling like I've heard your voice before. Wait, you were on the bus too, weren't you?

[aliveandticking]

Oh, telekinesis is fun! You can use it to fly, if you're careful.

[wild_roar]

Oh, A... [wait wait no stop he's not supposed to reveal himself] ....ah, I mean, what? You can? I hadn't even really thought of that...

[aliveandticking]

[ he does realise he looks exactly the same just without a dinky mask on right ]

If you can move things, that means you can move yourself! Probably.

[wild_roar]

[nope, he has a blind spot called sheer dumbassery that makes him believe no one will recognize him without the mask. Yep.]

Probably, huh?

Well, I'm outside right now, so I guess I could give it a try while I have the chance. If it ends up permanent I might have to actually use it.

[aliveandticking]

[ she will be polite and considerate of his lack of brain ]

That's the spirit! Just make sure you move your whole body, and not just a hat or something!

[wild_roar]

I wouldn't want to do that and lose my hat.

[there's a sudden clunk off-screen: he got overenthused but before he could even try to lift his hat or himself, the garbage bin five feet away went flying. Oops]
