Oops, Did I Do That?
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.

Caves
When he did find it, he had the difficulty of light-based vision conflicting with an infrared vision since Tommy was glowing brightly but not giving off a matching level of heat. Thrawn had to stop and rub his eyes with one hand since he was getting a headache.
"Is there a reason you are glowing so brightly?"
no subject
"Yeah, I'm a Christmas tree."
Okay, that might be a bit too defensive. The kid moves to cross his arms over his chest, leaving an afterimage of the motion in minty green light.
no subject
"I mean no offense. But I have not seen you glow before, so I ask."
no subject
"I didn't notice until you told me, to be honest. Did it have to be this terrible color?
no subject
"Then this is a new development?"
Tommy had said that this was a hereditary trait but that didn't necessarily mean he had displayed it before.
no subject
"Yeah, B's the one that glows at will. Normally people only see light when I move when I'm in my uniform and people catch the light flashing off the silver in my costume."
no subject
"Producing light without producing heat would be very useful. Is there any way to produce light outside your body?"
Having light that was not produced by the power plant would reduce their dependence on it and allow for someone to use the light a mobile capacity.
no subject
"I don't know. This is really fucking new. And his glowing is magic and lightning."
no subject
"Lightening is still a form of electricity. Do not discount your ability, yet."
If Tommy needed time to work out how to use his power, then that was alright. Thrawn is just tucking this fact away for a possible future plan.
no subject
"I expect it's, like, something strange and new and temporary."
