{OOC: No tag order, respond and/or bring up new topics as you like. Making your own threads to talk amongst yourselves is perfectly fine.}

[Nora has pushed several tables in the ice cream parlor together and is sitting down enjoying a sundae. She has with her a list of super powers and a small stack of comic books. She waits until everyone else has gotten their tasty frozen treats before standing up like this was some kind of board meeting.]

Okay! Now we're ready to get started!

[It was important for everyone to get their ice cream first.]

I think we should begin with a classic. Super speed! Anyone remember being faster than a speeding bullet or able to outrun trains or something?

Comments

[charcoalfeather]

[Adjusting your cap for the hundredth time, while still trying to keep your ice cream from falling, was difficult to stay the least. Rakka had learned quickly though, and it showed.]

Uh, super speed? No, I don't think so.

[nowi_wins]

[She thinks about it.]

Yeah, me neither.

[But then a thought occurs to her.]

Hey, but you have that bird, right? Following you around? Maybe past you could talk to animals!

[charcoalfeather]

[Said bird was actually in a tree close to here, watching the winged girl, not that Rakka knew that.]

Talk to animals?

[She had to think about that.]

That sounds possible...

[nowi_wins]

Yeah! Do you think past you had any other animals that followed her?

[charcoalfeather]

Any others...

[Her mind wanders away for a moment, her eyes looking up, watching the clouds float by.

And, soon enough, she returns.]

Wait! I remember something!

[notspecial]

[Evan's fidgeting in his seat a little bit. His mom asked him to run an errand at the last minute, and while he wants to stay as long as he can he can't say no to her...ugh.

The ice cream is cool though. Mm, pistachio.]

Nah. How about flight, or shapeshifting?

[nowi_wins]

Ooh, those are good ones. Flying would be awesome!


But do you mean shapeshifting into other people or animals? Or like, objects, I guess....

[But becoming objects would sort of be a lame super power in her estimation.]

[notspecial]

Either one! Then you'd be a master of disguise.

[nowi_wins]

And like, the perfect spy! That would be so cool!

[originaloddcouple]

[Both Dians seem to be enjoying their own ice cream, Isaac with a lemon sorbet and Miria with a rainbow sorbet.]

Ooooh, super speed sound nice!

I don't remember anything like that though...

[nowi_wins]

Oh... Well, that's okay.

[She's getting the idea that maybe it isn't this easy to get echoes. But at least they have ice cream.]

But, now that I think about it, you guys have been at this longer than me. Do you have any cool powers yet? Or do you remember any from your past selves?

[originaloddcouple]

[They take a couple more thoughtful tastes.]

Well, you already know about the whole Alcatraz-criminal thing...

We're both kind of immortal now! So there's that!

[nowi_wins]

[She almost chokes on her ice cream.]

Holy crap! Are you serious?!? That's amazing!!


[Immortality. Talk about a lucky draw.]

[moarnomsplz]

[Never one to say no to food, especially sweets, Alex has a large sundae. Evan mentions shape-shifting, and Alex thinks for a little while about what he can suggest.]

Soo, super strength?

I don't have that. But other-me was an alien!

[He knows it's not exactly a power, but he's still hoping to find someone who remembers the same things he does.]

[nowi_wins]

No way! An alien?

[Omg why is everyone so cool?!?]

What planet was he from?

[moarnomsplz]

Yeah! His real bod-ee is this, like, centaur thing-ing. I can shape-shift into it.

And I dunno, no, the name of his planet. It was a long way from Earth.

[He takes a big bite of whipped cream and tries to look thoughtful as he swallows it.]

I got this deal with sound-zuh from a pulse, but I hope I don't give it to enn, anyone.

[nowi_wins]

Deal with sounds?

[It takes her a minute to realize what he means]

Oh! I thought it was, like, a speech impediment! But it just came from an echo? Like an alien accent?

[What is tact?]

[clawkind]

[Nyah's been mostly silent throughout the round table discussion, in part because she really doesn't care too much about pulses, and in part because she's slowly working her way through a pretty respectably sized sundae with every conceivable topping piled on. mmmm, sweets.

at some point she looks away from her monstrous dessert to comment, deciding to steer the conversation onto something she could get hyped about]

Let's talk about psychic powers instead.

[nowi_wins]

You mean like telepathy and telekinesis and that kind of stuff?

[She takes a bite of her strawberry sundae thoughtfully.]

I don't remember anything like that. Was past you psychic?

[clawkind]

More like precognition, but that stuff's ok too.

[she shrugs a little]

If she was I don't remember it yet, but I'm psychic in this lifetime so it wouldn't surprise me too much.

[nowi_wins]

You're psychic?


[omg so cool!!]


Do you tell fortunes?

[gobybessie]

[ Well ... Here he is. Might as well bring something up. ]

I'm an alien too, although not the same kind. Aside from two hearts and, apparently, some kind of ability to escape death, I don't know what makes me different.

Anyone remember time travel?

[nowi_wins]

....What was the second heart for? Does alien blood need to be pumped super fast?

[gobybessie]

I have yet to work that out, but perhaps. Although it seems I still have human blood.

[nowi_wins]

... How do you know?

[She's wondering now what alien blood would look like. Probably green. Alien stuff is usually green or gray.]
