An announcement and a rumor

Let me first say that I know Jim and the rest of Retrospec can see everything we write here, but if they're hinting at something with their "how to start a campfire" taunt, they'll soon know how good we all are at that.

This month, I received a power I previously saw in my visions - a sort of spirit that fights for me. From what I recall, I can manipulate fire with its aid, but I can also set things on fire with my mind apparently. It's unclear, but in the end, I am hoping to hone my skills well enough to actually start fires on my own.

If we are ever in need of a fire, know that I'm available. In fact, we should keep in mind what powers each of us have in case the time comes. Whatever Retrospec throws at us, we have to be prepared to fight back.

This isn't an invitation for requests to burn down the city. Any sort of power comes with the responsibility to wield it wisely, and I make the final decision.

And if I can start a fire, I can end it.


[He's not sure about that last part, but he's not going to admit it.]



P.S. I think Professor Suaveterre uses L'Oreal products for his hair. It's the only explanation that makes sense.

Does that mean you could put out fires you didn't start?

Seeing as you've put all this out here for our perusal already, I don't suppose you would mind providing details about exactly what this...fire manipulation entails? Setting fires with one's mind is an impressive talent, but I'm curious about this spirit of yours as well.

Fire manipulation? I hope you can able to control it very soon. I hate to see Jim's message about the fire coming true.

And by the way... EXCUSE ME?!

okay but what about people also learning how to use like, matches. or one of those metal things for fire starting, whatever they are?

not that it isn't freaking awesome you apparently control FIRE with a spirit (wth?! i love it, can't be a ghost, too cool) but that also is kind of a tall order for one guy to cover two hundred plus people's fire needs all at once

So wait, you actually have some spirit who can just show up out of nowhere and set crap on fire for you?

In real life and everything?
