8. Laptop. Video.

[Good evening, Network! The face of one Karl Aurion pops up on screen, said face not being seen at all today since both the high school and the police station got a call about him being sick today. It isn't too hard to see why that call got made.

Though no sign of sickness is visible, he does look... odd. His red hair is now an odd, if slightly unnatural shade of red, his face is void of any former signs of his age, the visible portion of his shirtless torso (none of his shirts really fit well anymore whoops) looks like it belongs to a dedicated body builder and, most notably, his once green eyes are now a vibrant shade of red.]


Is anyone here aware of an optometrist who would not ask questions about someone possessing an unnatural eye color or at least know of a location where I can obtain cheap colored contacts until I can locate one myself? Being seen in public, at the station in particular, with this eye color would draw suspicion and is something I'd rather avoid if at all possible.

[The hair can get explained via bad dye job and good clothes can cover up the muscles but the eyes? Yeah, not so easy. And yes he is only just now making a post about this despite waking up like this cause reasons. Ah, and just as Karl is about end the connection, he remembers something else he'd been meaning to say.]

Also, some time ago, Sophie proposed the idea about those of us in possession of enhanced strength forming a club of sorts to help the other deal with the ability and minimize the inevitable property damage. Though I presently lack the time to search for a suitable location to hold this sort of meeting and organize it, should there be any interest, I can attempt to figure something out in the upcoming weeks.

OUTRAGEOUS! You got the same thing that I did, only without the OUTRAGEOUS SUPER SUIT!

[So, post whatever-the-hell happened yesterday with some fake her running around, Melissa had wound up staying over at Karl's. Her alarm starts going off, and after she rolls over to shut the damn thing off, she gets a look at the sleeping man next her. And something is... different. Very different.

Melissa, not being one to keep her hands to herself, reaches out and pokes at Karl's now very present abs (which are hard as fuck), before nudging him a bit.]

Karl.

...uh.

[Excuse him for a moment, this is a little confusing. He is seeing his chemistry teacher shirtless and utterly ripped. How has his life come to this. How is this what he deals with now, why is this happening.

He is having an existential crisis over here.]


I-I just started telling people my natural eye color was because of colored contacts. Uh, the weird glowing green eye color, I mean, not the blue.

Pulse?

[Yeah, she's kind of used to it. But she has a feeling he'll want to see thing. The bright, bright red of his hair catches her eye too, and she runs a hand through it to see if it's as real as he looks.]

You might want to look in a mirror.

[Kara doesn't quite realize she's actually met this guy before, so beyond the eye color which he'd pointed out in the post she doesn't really notice anything off. she is, however, very keen on the second thing he's talked about]

I would be very grateful to be included in any plans for such a club! Although I am afraid that I cannot offer any possible locations.

[he knows hair and eye color change are fairly common echos. But... this feels really weird for some reason.]

That's going to be interesting to explain...

But then you just get some OUTRAGEOUS SHADES! And you can be like that one song, you know, wearing your sunglasses at night and stuff!

Not anymore you don't. [oh jesus christ and he has red eyes too.] I'm serious. Or at least just look at your goddamn stomach.

[And, just to bring some attention to it, she'll put her hands back on his abs and poke at them again. Feels different than normal, doesn't it?]

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO...but he can't look away. My god. He didn't know abs that sculpted could exist in real life, he always thought they were just CGI.]

...good point. Uhhh, hang on--

[He spends a few moments opening a new tab to go look something up.]

Okay, so, uh. I just found the site I ordered colored contacts on months ago. I think they're pretty good, I just couldn't use them because my eyes still glowed even with them on. But if yours don't, they should be okay, I think.

[He squints at the screen, focusing very intently on his face and NOT THE ABS. ANYTHING BUT THAT.]

They...they don't, do they?

[it's unsurprising - even with her hair hidden like it had been during the battle, Kara's accent and speech mannerisms are unfortunately distinctive]

I would appreciate that very much! At the very least I would be happy to provide the snacks or something similar, if that would be of any help.

Can you just get colored contacts online? [because yeah. explaining things doesn't sound good.]

You can order contacts online without havin' a prescription, I think. It's kind of shady, but hey.

I've had heterochromia even before all of this started. I used to wear contacts before I decided to just run with it, which was right before I started getting pulses. I can give you the number of mine if you want...?

[Have a collection of links that have been shared across the network previously, yo.]

If you decide to go for circle contacts try not to wear them too long or they'll really screw up your eyes.

That's RIGHT! You've already got that going for you!

And why CAN'T you wear sunglasses while teaching? What if you've gotta turn off the lights to show the kids a movie or something? THEN WHAT? You can't just say you have a TERRIBLY RARE EYE CONDITION? You got your pupils dilated and IT STUCK?
