@everyone (un:mayor hotdog)

[ that's right, frank is reprising his old title. more for recognition than because he wants to assert any sort of authority. he just has something Important to ask everyone. he looks nervous, but it's no more than usual, if you know him. if you don't, here he is. a hobo dad with a bone to pick. he doesn't make eye contact with the feed, but one will notice him signing one-handed as he goes, like it's automatic and he doesn't even realize he's doing it. it brings that leather bracelet he always wears into focus, woven in the celtic knot for 'leader' if anyone were familiar with such things. ]

I've been here about six months now, yeah, and... I've, I've seen a lot of weird shit. [ he quirks the tiniest, lopsided smile. ] That's not really limited to this place though.

Anyway, when I came here, me and a couple other people noticed we had superpowers. Stuff we could do we couldn't before, and I never really thought there was a pattern, 'cause a lot of people say they don't have powers or if they do they've never manifested. And sometimes we get temporary stuff, like all this fire and ice shit... Well.

[ he has to clear his throat - this is already so much more than he usually says at one time. he snaps his fingers to bring out the pyrokinesis he's been honing, a lively flame dancing over his fingers. but then he's shrugging and picking back up the sign as he speaks again. if you know any type of sign language you'll recognize a few words, but that it's different from the one you're familiar with. ]

Two things: I think the abilities might be related to the colors we get. Three red scrubs I know can all do the same thing. But that's not really scientific without a bigger sampling, okay, I know, so I was thinkin'... If anyone wants to try and force 'em out, I might've figured that out too. I've seen it happen when people are in danger or really stressed out, so if we can simulate that, we can probably see if there's any merit to this theory.

If you already know what this place gave you, you could tell me what you can do and what color your watch is. I'll go first: I'm a teal scrubs and I can sense imminent danger. And if you don't know yours and this sounds like something you wanna do, I'm at House Six like usual.

Uh. Yeah, that's it. Hotdog out.

//IC EDIT AFTER THE FACT://

In light of guests I have staying for the Winter season, I'll take my meetings at South Village Fountain Park. We can head out from there if anyone wants to do something stupid.

I am NOT volunteering to attack/scare/whatever you and your friends. You guys can do that to each other and let me know what happens.

OK now that's really it back to whatever the fuck you were doing

Are you saying I woke up with magic that I do not yet know how to control? I do not feel threatened by the possibility of demons or possession, I always assumed that would be involved.

Perhaps-

I am in violet and would wish to know what it is they've put itno me, as I am quite marvelous as myself, yes, but hardly magical.
ombranera: (so if we must speak seriously...)

How is this thing tested? I am not one easily startled, if that was the plan.
ombranera: (What can I say?)

[personal profile] ombranera 2018-12-19 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Shall we go find something large and toothy and poke it with a stick?

[ Should he sound so excited at the idea? He shouldn't. But he does. ]

You are my kind of ambitious, ser.
ombranera: (It cannot truly be so bad as all that)

[personal profile] ombranera 2018-12-19 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
For you? I will be.
ombranera: (and whistled for a baboon!)

[personal profile] ombranera 2018-12-19 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I shall see you there.
ombranera: (I know the feeling my friend)

[personal profile] ombranera 2018-12-19 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
I tend to do the same, being the only elf in the village.
ombranera: (Not a bad look for you!)

[personal profile] ombranera 2018-12-19 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
That I was. Your daughter is delightfully charming.
ombranera: (So an elf and a dwarf walk to a bar)

[personal profile] ombranera 2018-12-19 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
She is.

[ Charming, delightful, and kind. Quite kind. ]

I was happy to have an excuse to show off my sewing skills. She was quite pleased with her gift.
ombranera: (Not a bad look for you!)

If you wish I can show you a few more stitches, truly the work is in the draping. If I had a form to work off of that would simplify matters but we make do.

If you really want to win me over you'd make the bust, waist, and hips adjustable.

I am terribly cold, constantly. Mittens would be delightful.

[personal profile] ombranera 2018-12-19 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
I would never.
