@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 sure about that, Francis? I don't recall volunteering.

You tell me. How did it feel to almost be taken out by a blind man with a flaming chair leg? That is truly special.
blacksky: (and you'll be my valentine)

Matthew and I will always be here to knock you on your ass. That's why you're the luckiest man in the village.

And yes it's fantastic to be special. Thank you for asking.
blacksky: (I wear it like a crown)

We absolutely are so don't ever take us for granted. We'd hate to start bullying some other man who looks better with a beard.
blacksky: (like me)

[personal profile] blacksky 2018-12-21 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I like it on principle. It covers a lot of your face which makes you more attractive. The problem is the length, Francis. No woman is ever going to enjoy that.

Besides, doesn't she love you for who you are or some other sentimental nonsense?
blacksky: (And I'm nothing like you)

Don't all men want to impress women on some level? You can impress me by trimming it just a little in case you were wondering.

Maybe it goes over better with teenagers. They do love their fads.
blacksky: (No colors anymore)

[personal profile] blacksky 2018-12-22 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
You adore me. That's why you're trimming it.
blacksky: (I feel so alone on the Friday nights)

[personal profile] blacksky 2018-12-23 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Dangerous question, Francis. Fortunately, I'm content... for now.
blacksky: (Cause I was filled with poison)

[personal profile] blacksky 2018-12-28 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
You always know just what to say. Goodbye for now, Francis. Let me know if you need help terrorizing the willing.
