[glaciers]

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?]

wait
what do you mean apparently

[undergrowl]

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]

That's what my "memories" are telling me.

[glaciers]

In training to be an actual superhero. I think.

Maybe you turn into a wolf.

[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]

Why have you thought about *my* superhero identity.

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

[undergrowl]

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

[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.

[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!

[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.

[secare]

( uhhhhhhhhhhhhh. )

i feel like that
warrants some more explanation

[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.

[glaciers]

Alternate me can make fire from his left side and ice from his right.

The ice is excessive.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[glaciers]

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

What would you pick instead?

[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

[secare]

"alternate"
that's so weird to hear

you remember using fire and ice?
can you do it here?


. . . .

is that why the hair?
red fire on left and white ice on right, yea?

[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.

[undergrowl]

That

You're right, that's weird.

[glaciers]

I don't know what else to call the visions of myself that I've been "remembering".

Yes. I set my arm on fire and it didn't hurt.
No. Not yet.

...
I guess so? Ice was more blue than white. I guess it'd be grey here.

[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.
