So the weird memories are happening to everybody, right?

What kind of superpowers would you want? You don't have to explain it if you don't want. Superhero name too.

Apparently, mine are creating and controlling ice and fire.

My superhero name is Shouto.

[Which is obviously still his real name, but alternate him and actual him share the exact same naming sense.

Is that supposed to be comforting or not?]

So you're an actual superhero, in another life. Somehow the fact that your superhero name is apparently your name isn't that shocking to me.

[ . . . ]

I don't know what my powers would be. It's not something I've thought about before.

[glaciers]

In training to be an actual superhero. I think.

Maybe you turn into a wolf.

[undergrowl]

You think. As if these memory things aren't weird enough, on top of everything else.

I'd need some stupid stereotypical name if that's what it was.

[glaciers]

That's what the "memories" seem to imply.

The Wolf? Wolfman?

My superhero name is my real name. I don't think you should ask me.

[undergrowl]

Sure, why not. We were shrunk down and now we're missing colors.

My mom is French, so if this were a comic book or whatever it'd probably call me something along the lines of "loup-garou." It's French for werewolf.

Not what I'd pick, though.

[glaciers]

I feel like it's just going to get weirder.

What would you pick instead?

[undergrowl]

Probably, honestly.

Not something as stereotypical as that. Tropey. Whatever the term is.
I'm not as into heroes as you are, though, so I don't know.

[glaciers]

I'm not excited.

I love heroes, but I'm not good at names.
Fang?

[undergrowl]

Neither am I.

Obviously.
Fang's not bad, though. Simple and to the point.

[glaciers]

If I start setting myself on fire, this is probably why.

Simple and straightforward is good. It's easier to remember.

[secare]

that's ok
i've thought about it

it'd be super speed & strong constitution! brute force enemies down at high speeds.

maybe "the silver bullet!"

[glaciers]

You don't wear that much silver, do you?

Is that your hero costume? Silver spandex?

[undergrowl]

I guess I technically do now, since most of my wardrobe was blue and green. A lot of cool colors.

[glaciers]

I had a lot of neutral colors in mine before blue and green went missing. It matches with red hair.

And I guess white now too.

[undergrowl]

Cool colors work with my hair/eyes/complexion combination. Now I have to figure out something else.

White?

[glaciers]

My hair's red and white now. Split down the middle perfectly.

It's weird.

[undergrowl]

That

You're right, that's weird.

[glaciers]

I've just been wearing a wig for shoots and stuff.

At least I don't have a birdhead.

[undergrowl]

Why have you thought about *my* superhero identity.

I guess that's not a bad setup, though.

[secare]

why have you *not*?
i kind of figured that'd we would be part of like
A SUPER HERO LEAGUE
of badassery

right, right?
it fits!

you can take rough hits without flinching!
and basically outmove any enemy!

[undergrowl]

Baseball. [ that one word would be delivered in 1000% deadpan in person ]
A Super Hero League of Badassery would be good, though.

The not flinching is pretty appropriate, I'll give you that, especially since one of our last games of the season had a pitcher nearly hitting me with a ball to try and scare me and I didn't move.
Outmoving... I'm not the fastest player on the team, but it sort of works if you base it off my throw.

[secare]

of course of course

the fact that you're rationalising it means that you know it's good!
it suits you
pretty scary about that pitcher tho
but speed can be improved
and you can just keep scaring the shit outta everyone until then

[undergrowl]

Of course.

It's because it makes sense. You took a lot of traits and converted them into superpowers and it worked.
The pitcher was whatever - his pitch wasn't even in the strike zone, so it was a ball.
I guess my intimidation factor makes up where everything else is lacking.

[secare]

i'm feeling a sense of pride

correction: you're scary
and i'm proud of you
i hope to learn from you in that regard

[undergrowl]

Go ahead and feel it.

I'm not sure it's something you can learn generally.
I mean in general, not you specifically.
