[VIDEO] Hey, little guy!

[supercub]

[Daniel is battling with the settings of the video.]

How's thing work? Hello? HELLO?

[He is getting bored already.]

Psh, whatever.

[Something rustles nearby, it's a Piglet-Squirrel coming out of a bush.]

What's that? Awww, you're so cute! Come here, little guy! Pspsps. Come here.

[The Piglet-Squirrel hesitates and Daniel decides to lift it with telekinesis.]

There, there [Obviously, the animal does not enjoy being lifted like that and bites him as soon as it gets within range.] OW! What the fuck?!

[ Ash doesn't pay enough attention to the network so it's only be chance that he happens to be crossing by with Pikachu when he sees the other boy. ]

Hey! What are you doing [ Ash demands as he moves over. ]

Pika!? [ Pikachu agrees angrily, now on all fours and in a battle ready stance. ]

You can't treat it like that!

Re: In Person

[supercub]

Woah. Hi.

[He didn't drop the Piglet-Squirrel upon being bitten, so he eases it slowly to the ground. He lets it go, though he wanted to look at it more closely. Bummer.]

Don't worry, my power doesn't hurt. I would have not lifted it if it did, of course!

[He then looks at Pikachu trying to figure out what animal he is.]

Is that your rabbit? Looks cool!

In Person

[ashwantstobattle]

Doesn't matter if you didn't hurt it-you still scared it. [ Ash points out. ]

Pi? Pikachu pika. Pikachu! [ Whatever Pikachu said, he sounds highly offended. ]

Why does everyone think he's a rabbit? Pikachu's a lightening mouse.

Pika. [ Pikachu nods sagely in agreement. ]

Re: In Person

[supercub]

Because of the ears? I guess.

[Daniel blinks in slight confusion.]

Chill out, dude, I let it go.

[ashwantstobattle]

The ears?

Pika? [ Pikachu reaches up and flattens his ears a moment before letting them spring back up. ]

...I guess they kinda look a little like Buneary's ears but not really... [ He says thoughtfully. ]

[ Piglet-Squirrel safe and free to live its piglet-squirrel life, Pikachu turns and moves back over to Ash, climbing back up to his shoulder with ease. ]

Anyways, I'm Ash - this is my partner Pikachu.

Pikachu!

[supercub]

Hi, Pikachu!

[He waves at him with his hand, he's not making the same mistake twice. Then extends a hand to Ash.]

I'm Daniel. So, what's the deal with this place?

[ashwantstobattle]

Nice ta meetcha, Daniel. [ Ash says with enthusiasm as he takes the other boy's hand to shake. ]

I'm not really sure-I've heard the People that originally lived here need our help with something but I have no idea what that is. [ He admits sheepishly. ]

Pikachu and I have been here a little over two and half months and this place is nothin' like back home.

[supercub]

Help? Is there like a space war on something? That'd be cool! Though maybe kinda fucked up. But hey, at least I don't have to hide my power! Right?

[ashwantstobattle]

I don't know about any wars. [ Ash shakes his head, deciding not to comment on the language choices this kid that looks to be about the same age as him is using. ]

Did you have to hide your powers before?

[supercub]

[Daniel has most definitely earned the right to swear. If you have stolen things and killed a cop, a puma, and maybe your brother and his friends, saying fuck is not so heavy anymore.]

Yeah...It didn't go so well. It activates on its own when I'm upset.

[ashwantstobattle]

[ Ash is still sure no one close to his age should he using those words but he's never killed anyone. Just seen someone get killed. ]

Why'd you have to hide it?

[supercub]

It's not a thing in my world, you only see it in comics and cartoons. And I already got troubles with the police, I don't wanna be studied in a lab or something.

[He grimaces.]

But it's useful. It saved my ass a few times.

[ashwantstobattle]

[ How exactly is it this other kid already has trouble with the police. Ash has once or twice gotten in trouble with Officer Jenny but usually he's able to clear his name. ]

People wouldn't do that to you, would they? You still have rights just like everyone else.

Pikapika. [ Pikachu nods in agreement, watching the new kid closely. ]

[supercub]

Yeah, uhh, many people are not big on rights. Also I'm in like, Special Trouble.

[Meaning he fucked up beyond what's currently scientifically explainable so far.]

[ashwantstobattle]

[ Pikachu and Ash look at one another and exchange looks, neither really knowing what that 'special trouble' could be. ]

I don't really know what that means, but you won't have to worry about that here. Lots of people here have special abilities so you should be safe.

[supercub]

Awesome. Do you think I could help with something? I like to do my part!

[ashwantstobattle]

Sure! There's always something someone can do to help.

[ Ash says enthusiastically. What that would be though.. he has no idea. However, there's always someone that needs help. ]

[supercub]

Cool. I'm sure anyone would rather not heavy stuff by hand.

[Video]

[small_compromise]

[It's not the first time she's seen someone lift something by invisible means, but she can't say she agrees with its application here.

She stifles a giggle when the little creature proves that point.]

I'm sure it didn't like that.

Re: [Video]

[supercub]

Yeah...Looks like it! Fuck, it hurts.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley winces at this scene.]

Oh, ouch. Are you okay?

[And what were you thinking?!]

[supercub]

Yeah, I'm okay... Unless, do these things give you rabies? I knew. My brother always told me I'd end up having rabies some day.

[Which was probably simple big brother talk, but it's not that unrealistic when talking about Daniel.]

[crystalmaster]

... You know, that's a good question. I haven't heard of any of the things here giving rabies, but I'm not sure how in-depth it's been explored.

[He's a little concerned now.]

[supercub]

Man, this sucks. Guess there's only one way to find out.

[crystalmaster]

I'm sure you'll be fine. But you should probably see the doc to be safe.

[supercub]

Yeah...But hey, at least my powers work here. That's gotta be useful! Do you guys need to build something? I can do the lifting.

[crystalmaster]

How much weight can you lift?

[supercub]

Uhhh, last time I lifted a giant redwood tree. It wasn't all of it, just the stump, but it was kinda heavy.

[Also whenever he is so upset he accidentally causes explosions he can probably move heavier stuff, but let's stick with the intentional power activation here.]

[crystalmaster]

... Well, that's pretty cool. Yeah, that should be useful.
