I guess I'm a couple days late checking in. I was a bit... indisposed. [Hungover, indisposed... same thing.] I'm alive and in one piece, obviously. Don't think my cover was blown, either. How about the rest of you? Kids? Look, a lot of shit's going down, and it's not much, but there's some space in my apartment if someone needs to lay low for a bit.

Someone I know. No offense, but I'd rather not have a complete stranger with who-knows-what powers sleeping on my couch.

Oh. And for anyone who was taking bets... [She holds up a green, glowing hand - glowing right through the gloves, actually] These babies are blasters.

So I might be a ghost.

Alien.

Thing.

[vetala]

Oh. Just an alien ghost thing then?

[greenisthenewblack]

Depends on who you ask.

Why, do you have something else to add to the list?

[vetala]

Nope. Do you have anything else to go off of other than what you're showing?

[greenisthenewblack]

My powers pinged echoes from Danny and Gerry. I haven't had any myself, so... your guess is as good as mine.

[centurian]

You're always welcome to stay with me.

[ AND REALLY HASTILY ADDED... ]

I've got an extra room.

private;

[greenisthenewblack]

Aw, you're a sweetheart, Gerry.

But I'm fine. Sounds like some of the kids aren't, though. And for the moment, I've still got a job.

private;

[centurian]

What can I say, I try my best. ;)

Honestly, I don't think that you're in any danger. I've been stuck in debriefing the past few days trying to ID people, and nothing with either of us has been coming up yet.

[!!!

that is. actually quite a familiar ability, and Kara's interest is clear in her expression]

Do they cause pain to you if not immediately thrown, by any chance?

video;

[greenisthenewblack]

Familiar, huh?

Nah, I don't throw them, exactly. [Well, not yet. She hasn't gotten that echo back, exactly.] I either just glow, like this, or it's this full-on energy blast thing. That, uh, isn't exactly indoor-friendly, or I'd demonstrate. I don't get an in-between setting.

[chernobolt]

I see. I ask because -

[it'd be easier to just show her, wouldn't it? Kara holds up a hand and focuses on the feelings that carried her through the Wise Snake battle; with a distinctive noise a starbolt flickers into life, forming a sphere around her hand.

she dismisses it almost as quickly as she summons it, the wince of pain making it obvious that whatever these things are they do not play nice with the human body]

And I do not know if I am simply using them improperly or something more difficult to remedy. They seem to be exclusively projectiles, however, so I am fortunate in that regard.

[she's having enough problems tearing doors off hinges accidentally, she doesn't need 'only mega destruction' lasers to add onto that]

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

That's strangely specific. "Ghost alien thing." Do other pulses you've received support that?

[Audio]

[greenisthenewblack]

More like other people have recognized my abilities... not sure what I believe, honestly, but there's... a lot of evidence, I have to admit.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

I guess that's lucky. It's more information than a lot of people get.

I haven't seen your number before.

[dragon_blossom]

Well on the one hand, hand blasters are fucking awesome, and I'll keep you in mind if I need to crash.

...on the other hand if you're a ghost alien, I don't think that'll work.

audio

[greenisthenewblack]

Why, you got something about ghost aliens? Or alien ghosts?

audio

[dragon_blossom]

I have something against both, individually. If you're both at once that's a problem.

[ghostly_heiress]

Ghost alien thing?

[Written]

[greenisthenewblack]

Long story.

Or maybe not. Glowing green blaster powers are apparently a ghost-slash-alien-slash-who-knows-what thing, according to a couple friends.

Re: [Written]

[ghostly_heiress]

Oh.

Well.

I suppose that would explain a few things.

[That certainly warrants comment, but firstly without context saying that one was late checking in due to being "insidposed" after what went on isn't completely settling.

Anthony's sloppy and thus wholly unsuccessful keeping himself out of the frame this time but alas.]

-- You weren't hurt, right... [Clears his throat.] - right, ma'am?

[Not smooth, but mild. Quick. Well-intentioned.]

[Video]

[greenisthenewblack]

[Sheila can't stop herself from recoiling a bit.] A-anthony!

Uh. No. Not hurt.

[She's also utterly failing at not staring.]

Is that, um... an echo, then? You're not hurt, are you?

[Those sure doesn't look like... injuries, exactly.]

[He freezes up visibly at that first reaction.

And - what he incoherently suspects starts sinking in at her questions.]

... -- Ermm.

Am I - am I onscreen - ? [Sheepishly-cracking last syllable.]

- I -- [Mumbling and babbling along - ] -- sorry, Mr. Go, that was an accident - umm - [Jerking nod.] - this is - this is why I stopped coming to school -- ...! -- Actually; no, I'm -- nothing, uhh.

[It is a blatant lie to say that nothing happened during the attack - ]

I'm fine. -- It's all - "pulsed" - yes.

[Also not one-hundred percent true, but generally, yes.]
