{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?

[nowi_wins]

Wow! That's really impressive.

I don't have any big plans like that myself...

[She's just been waiting for awesome powers to suddenly show up.]

[clawkind]

They'll come to you eventually; they're probably just waiting for the right time to show up.

[not everyone can have as many reaffirming experiences as her, after all. Nyah's doubly sure that people living in a place like Locke wouldn't.]

[nowi_wins]

That's what I keep telling myself. But I wonder if I should try to be more, um...

[She chews on a strawberry while she searches for a proper word.]

...proactive about it.

[Yeah, proactive works.]

[clawkind]

That always helps. The more experiences you have, the more options you'll start thinking about.

[nowi_wins]

Well, different experiences are something I'm good at! At my last school I probably tried out almost every club they had.

[clawkind]

Did you stick with any of them?

[nowi_wins]

Um.... not really? I mean, they were fun and all, I just...

[Have a short attention span?]

...wanted try out new stuff?

[clawkind]

[she sucks on her spoon contemplatively for a moment before digging into the remaining sundae again]

I don't know if it really counts as trying out if you're only there for a little while.

[nowi_wins]

How long do you have to do something before it counts?

[clawkind]

It depends on what the something is.

[nowi_wins]

Oh...

Well, how do you tell? Which things take longer than others, I mean?

[clawkind]

Besides the obvious stuff, you just have to feel it out. There's no one answer for a big question like that.

[nowi_wins]

Well.... maybe when when school starts up again I'll just join one thing and do that all year.

[clawkind]

That's a good place to start. Persistence is a really good quality to have for pretty much everything.

[nowi_wins]

I still kinda feel like I'll get bored, but I'll do my best to stick it out.

[clawkind]

If you're getting bored, you're either not trying hard enough or it's just not the hobby for you. Still, it'll be a good way for you to learn how to pick that stuff out later.
