[Video: early morning]

[greenisthenewblack]

[Sheila's in a bathrobe, looking rather more disheveled and irate than... most people on the network have seen her before. If they've seen her at all. This is, after all, her first video.]

[She'd be more concerned about her appearance if both hands weren't, y'know. Glowing. Glowing green, in fact, with a few black flecks. She gives a deep, exasperated sigh.]

Great. Now I glow.

Other people blast things, or get cyborg implants, or super-strength.

I fucking glow.

[Well, here's Rakka, still in her pajamas and sporting some major bed head.]

Glowing? That sounds kind of...

[Blink blink]

M-miss Go?!

Re: [Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

Rakka?

...well, can't say I'm surprised. Seems like half my students are part of this little club.

[No image discernible as a person coming through - only a view of a ceiling - but perhaps the voice will be recognizable!]

-- Could it - it could - be a sign of something else -- couldn't it - ? [From a low spot and tight-wired.]

Hi Anthony. [Yup, knows that voice all right.]

Suppose it could be, but I don't have any clue what that'd be. Didn't get any memories with this, so all I know is it's annoying.

[dragon_blossom]

That'll raise some questions at school.

[ Or prevent her from going at all... ]

Re: voice

[greenisthenewblack]

I can turn it off. [Sort of.]

[dorkytracksuit]

it's okay. i glow too.

[greenisthenewblack]

Well.

At least I'm not the only one.

The other person I know who glows at least gets superpowers along with it.

[epimethean]

Pretty sure you're not--you're not alone, there. Got a case of bioluminescence myself, actually, just, uh. Not hands. Eyes. About a month ago.

[greenisthenewblack]

And it hasn't turned into anything useful yet? Damn.

[It wouldn't be so bad if they did something.]

Video

[shut_up_idiot]

Wow... that's... something. [ Pardon him, he's usually more eloquent but, well, she glows. ] I guess I should be grateful all I've got to deal with so far is contacts.

Did they just start glowing all of a sudden or has it been coming on a bit more gradually?

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

I woke up this morning doing this.

[She concentrates a moment, and the glow fades some.]

I can sort of make it go away, but it keeps coming back.

[ GIGGLESNORT. ]

Sorry. That is ... very amusing.

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

At least it's not a second heart.

[voice]

[seishindairingun]

Can you touch anything, at least?

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

Yep. Just glows. Doesn't seem to do anything else.

[gogoghostpowers]

[Danny's glowed for a long time now, but certainly not in THAT way. He stares at the hands in confusion for a few seconds before getting that punchy feeling of an echo again and then suddenly understands exactly what he's looking at.

He's pointing at her hands on the video when he makes his own response.]

That--that--I know exactly what that green stuff is!

[video]

[greenisthenewblack]

You do?

[Of course it'd be Danny who recognized one of her echos. Of course.]

Well, don't just stand there gawking. Out with it.

voice;

[comparative_insanity]

Ah... Oh dear.

[You can practically hear him wince in sympathy.]

At least you haven't demolished your kitchen yet? ["Yet" possibly being an operative word considering the whole plasma powers thing.]

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

Don't think I'll be demolishing anything. They glow. That's it.

[As far as she knows, anyway. The actually plasma blast part hasn't come back yet.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[...when did his history teacher get a number and how did he miss this]]

Give it time, it'll go away.

Don't touch anything. Just incase~

[greenisthenewblack]

You, too?

I really should start keeping a list. You've seen this kind of glow before, then?

[vetala]

Welcome to the club.

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

Yeah. Because my echos weren't useless enough before. Now they have to be useless and inconvenient.

[plushaeusrumpified]

[When he turns on the video, Shego will be able to hear the first few verses of 'Diamonds' by Rihanna, to which he's singing along.]

Shine bright like a diamond...

Shine bright like a diamond-

Alright I'm bored. Anyway you'd be more like an emerald anyway, huh? Come on though, how could you complain about that? You're like a walking nightlight now. That's pretty damn cool.

[greenisthenewblack]

Brody...

Just stop talking. You're not doing yourself any favors.

[centurian]

[ Okay, of all the things he was expecting when he saw this, an echo-pulse wasn't one of them.

And, it didn't happen to be just any echo pulse. No, it was one of a very ill-tempered (and very MALE) alien throwing stuff around with his green... glowy powers.

Powers that really unfortunately resembled Sheila's. ]

Um... Sheils... That's some... glowing.

[ What else do you say when your ex-girlfriend may or may not have formerly been a man in your "past life". ]

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

I kinda noticed that, Gerry. Got any more clever observations for me?

video;

[eras]

[ Oh nooooo. ]

Do you, um, know what triggered that...?

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

Not exactly. Though I have my... suspicions.

[Have a raised eyebrow.]

...neither of us knew this would happen, though, so I'll let you off easy.

[idealofhope]

[He stares for a second, as if pondering.

...still pondering...]

...

[He smacks his hands together.] Got it. Find a dubstep club and get paid to be a strobe light.

[Nailed it.]

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

[That earns him a long, unamused stare.]

How about no.

video;

[somesayinfire]

Oh my god, I knew you were a numbers club person!

[well, she had a guess. well, she was just kind of hoping.]

Don't worry, Sheila, I got a pretty terrible draw of powers too. Besides, green's a good color for you.

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

Man, it really is half the city that's in on this, isn't it? And the other half's trying to kill us. What gave me away?

Have to agree about the colors. Waaay better than blue. [Which she'd been afraid of, given her echo-memories.]
