Oops, Did I Do That?

[doubled_speed]

WHO: Tommy Shepherd, OTA
WHERE: Network, Caves, Beach
WHAT: Tommy reacting to mintpocalypse, exploring a cave, and being TOO energetic
WHEN: Friday Oct 15th and Saturday Oct 16th
WARNINGS: n/a


Network - Friday Morning
this is so absolutely and completely not my fault at all so anyone who says so is an absolute liar


Network - Saturday Morning
okay but serious when am I getting my reward for a creative way of finding the beach?


Caves

So, hey, this was a thing. Tommy hadn't meant to, yanno, cover the whole damn place in mint. None of the species were supposed to be that bad, right? Not the earth ones. Maybe it was something about this world. What he knew is that he felt like shit on Friday morning. And then a lot more relaxed as he woke and found his way along the path on Saturday, a blur of motion and a whoop of joy as he found the ocean. Of course he took the moment to take credit before starting to explore. Not in the waves, not at all. No, Tommy instead heads along the shore until he finds a cave.

Tommy never would have considered his power related to energy, which is a mistake. If he had, he might have thought twice when he was using his phone as a light and it was SO bright. Then again, he wouldn't have put two and two together anyway. Just mused how it was interesting that the tunnel kept getting brighter rather than darker the further in he went. And if he had a sense of time like that of a normal human, he'd definitely have noticed how weird it was that the tunnel was passing by so quickly. As it was, Tommy was rushing through the caves at a break-neck pace, his hair shining with a soft white glow, and in the air behind him there was a lingering after image of white-green light. A pale mint trailing after him. Amusing, right?

So Tommy darts around, building up a charge, and not realizing that he might not be alone.


Beach

His body is screaming with energy, and there is so much that Tommy wants to do. He's well fed and he feels like he can take on the world. Probably can actually. He's got energy here, too much energy. Which means only one thing. Time for some damn FUN. He moves quickly, a burst of pale-mint colored light racing over the water, over the waves. And, when he realizes that there's a serious trail of light following him, Tommy's soon drawing patterns all over the waves, enjoying the way the light lingers and the shapes follow after him. His fingers trace his name in the air like the residual light of a sparkler, and his laughter follows him easily.

Then there he is, back on the shore, sparks dancing off his feet and hitting the sand, not that he notices. Instead he's busy chasing after the lobster-like creatures. Could probably eat those, right?

And when it's all done the young man, hair shining with an undeniable pale white light, eyes glowing green, stretched out on the sand and considering the sky. Nice. New thought, more time in the cave, because he's been feeling amazing ever since he went there.

Whenever somebody says they're not to blame with that much conviction, they're probably to blame.

[doubled_speed]

totally didn't do anything, vanilla scruffy

[reconstitution]

what the hell is a vanilla scruffy

[doubled_speed]

it's like cap scruffy, but original flavor
thus you

[reconstitution]

okay sure

[doubled_speed]

don't ask for what you can't handle knowing

[reconstitution]

modern kids are so weird

[doubled_speed]

now now
I'm just really good at it

[reconstitution]

at being weird?
yeah, that checks out.

[doubled_speed]

at being not lame like you old people

[reconstitution]

careful, this old guy still has the ability to make people disappear.

Or release something into your ventilation system.

[doubled_speed]

you'd have to catch me for the first
and the second would REALLY put you on the bad side of a few dangerous people here
do you really want vision after you?

[reconstitution]

that would be a threat, but vision and I go way back.

[doubled_speed]

yeah but he'd do that 'I'm very disappointed in you' voice if you hurt me
but if you're not afraid of that, then I'll talk to billy
he controls electricity
and he doesn't really like people trying to kill his family

[reconstitution]

who said anything about killing? damn
I don't do that anymore.
living in an alternate space reality for three years tends to do that to a person. even one as fucked up as I am.

[doubled_speed]

you just suggested contaminating my air supply

[reconstitution]

with space rats, maybe. those fuckers are annoying as hell.

[doubled_speed]

yeah that's a pathetic threat scruffy
I'm a speedster
I can catch them and put them in your hair

[reconstitution]

as opposed to contaminating your air supply, I'd fucking say so.
Can't say I've run into a speedster before this, and I've seen pretty much everything

yeah they'd get lost in there for sure.

[doubled_speed]

and that's another reason why you're vanilla scruffy
you haven't seen something like me
I'm too awesome to be duplicated

[reconstitution]

my world had their hands full trying to perfect super soldiers and robots n shit.

[doubled_speed]

yeah we had that too

[reconstitution]

my condolences, really. what a shitshow.
you guys have that Thanos bullshit, too?

[doubled_speed]

yeah but that was before i was born
and also sorta not?
I'm complicated

[reconstitution]

join the club, kid.
