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.

Even if it were your fault, none could complain, as it ended in an advantage.

[They had been speaking about finding the ocean, after all.]

No precarious journey through foreign territory either. Yay, you.

[His tone might be dry sarcasm, but he is genuinely pleased to have access to the ocean now. After all, it is a wealth of resources.]

Life of the party guy, indeed.

[He can't help but be amused.]

And I imagine we'll be able to, should we manage to keep a few of them. It's already getting colder, so warmer clothes for winter would be beneficial for all of us.

Watching Tommy run is an amazing thing. Katara's never seen him let loose like this in the time they've been here, and it's truly a sight to behold. Even though he moves too quickly for her to follow him with her eyes, the overall effect is still impressive from where she stands on the mint-covered dune that leads down to the water.

When he's finally settled in on the sand, Katara jogs down the hill and out across the beach, leaning over him to block his view of the sky.

"Hey, you! That was amazing!" she says, a wide grin on her face. "And... you're glowing! Is that normal?"

Bucky's been exploring the beach, just like pretty much everyone else. He hasn't made it into the caves yet - although when he does, he might be in for some interesting side effects of his own, given the shield on his back.

But for now, he's kinda looking at Tommy with so much skepticism on his face. And maybe even the tiniest tinge of worry. "Are you... supposed to do that?"

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

Bucky snorts, but he chucks his chin at... well. Tommy.

"The whole Fourth of July display. It ain't Steve's birthday yet, far as I can tell."

"He is a nerd," Bucky agrees, with a bit of a smile. It is one of the more enjoyably ironic things about Steve.

"Well, I can't vouch for your sanity, but you are a light show. What happened?"

I thought you said the whole mintpocalypse thing wasn't your idea...

Steve is out on the beach trying to get some of those lobsters for food testing when he sees...well. A glowing kid on the sand. Amused, Steve walks a step or two closer and watches Tommy trace his name in the air. Okay. That's pretty cool, even he has to admit.

"Should I be looking around for radioactive spiders or are you just battery-powered, now?"

"Huh," is what Bucky says to that, eyeing said caves - or, at least, the entrance to what he assumes are said caves, not far away. He gestures, asking, "That cave?"

And then, "Does it hurt?"
