@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

sorry man i don't make the rules.

i think that's exactly what it means.

[clouded_heart]

Hang on.

Does this mean that if I stay around Matt, I can stop his stupid ass from getting hurt *just be being there*?

[oorah]

pretty much.

[clouded_heart]

Dammit. I said I wouldn't move in with him and Elektra, but this might change things...

[oorah]

they asked you to move in? that's sweet.

[clouded_heart]

No. *Matt* asked me to move in within ten minutes of talking to him because he felt like he should. I told him to talk to Elektra and let Elektra and I actually meet each other and have a proper conversation before he thinks about asking me for real.

[oorah]

OK that sounds like him. for what it's worth el is great.

[clouded_heart]

Speaking and acting before thinking? Yeah, that's Matt, about two thousand percent.

I don't know her. I just know the state Matt was in in college when she was around and then left him and I know who Matt is when he's with her back home. I'm trying not to judge or let that affect getting to actually know her, because we're all adults now and we're all in this together and the one thing I do know is that we have something in common. I know we both love Matt, so that's somewhere to start.

[oorah]

you haven't even met her yet and matt offered you to move in? classic tbh.

that's a good place to start man. she does love him, you know. more than anything.

[clouded_heart]

I know she does. Matt's easy to love. My family all adore him.

[oorah]

speak for yourself

[clouded_heart]

I am. He's also really easy to get mad at.

[oorah]

that one i'm on board with

[clouded_heart]

No one gets you quite as mad as those you care about.

It's okay, Frank, your secret affection for Matt is safe with me.

[oorah]

[ it's honestly not that secret but s i g h s. ]

you do remember i shot him in the head once

[clouded_heart]

There are days we all feel that way about him.

[oorah]

yeah well already told you i wouldn't mind having you as a neighbor

[ if not in so many words. he likes being able to keep an eye on his core group and foggy and steadily becoming a part of that number. ]

[clouded_heart]

I'm not moving in with Matt and Elektra.

[oorah]

[ the inn is still close enough to his house that it shouldn't totally matter. and he knows karen will take care of foggy even if he isn't watching over him personally. still. ]

probably for the best if you like seeing red with his clothes on

[clouded_heart]

Do not want to know more about their sex life than I already do. And living with them, I would learn more than I ever wanted to and then some.

[oorah]

can't deny that. they make me miss silent town

[ an exaggeration, but he's a fan of doing that for effect in general. ]

[clouded_heart]

Aaaand we're already into TMI, Frank.

[oorah]

sorry. i'm sure they're great roommates.

[clouded_heart]

Please stop. Please.

[oorah]

fine. you win.

you're doing OK tho? with karen?
