Day 10ish

[shiro2hero]

(It's high time I did this.)

[Oh no, someone is gearing up for one of Those Speeches. Because one of their new arrivals ticked off a box in his head, and Sam's asking for training helped.]

[And he's tired of walking on eggshells.]

(I don't know how many of you were there when I found out what my Symbiote does. I sort of wish I hadn't. But. I can't change that.)

[Yeah apparently it made him the Space Hulk. And it took at least two people to keep him from ripping someone's face off.]

(What I can do is control it. I just need to know where to start.)

(So I'm taking a lead from Sam Wilson. Asking if anyone is willing to help. I... don't think I can promise no one will get hurt, but if we're careful, maybe it'll just be me.)

[And he can live with that.]

Comments

[shiro2hero]

(Basically.)

['Trouble' is as good a name for it as any.]

(I'll take that. It's a step forward, regardless of how small.)

[doublesmall]

(I can't promise any help with that part, but if you're worried about hurting people while you work on it? Might be able to give you a hand there, provided we're talking physical damage and not 'kill people with your mind'.)

[shiro2hero]

(Physical, yeah.)

(How would you do it?)

[doublesmall]

(Gravity manipulation. It's a lot harder to go after someone if you're stuck to the ground, yeah?)

[A little amusement ripples across, there.]

(Not exactly a conventional kind of restraint, but I find it works pretty well.)

[shiro2hero]

(As in, completely turning off the gravity in an area?)

[Oh, he's interested already.]

(It's definitely worth a shot.)

[doublesmall]

(More like turning off the gravity on an individual, or turning it way up- changing its direction too, if I want to.

I just have to be touching whatever I want to affect.)

[shiro2hero]

(That's really convenient. And useful.)

[Some people get all the luck.]

(Touching... I'm not sure if that'd be safe.)

[doublesmall]

(That's why I'd enable it before you actually activate anything. Keeps you from doing much harm when you do, yeah?

But I'm pretty good at not getting my ass kicked by now. If I had to get a hand on you afterward, I'm sure I could manage.)

[shiro2hero]

(Good idea, all around.)

(... and I believe you. But I'm also concerned this would activate part of my... arsenal nothing else has been able to manage, yet.)

[doublesmall]

(There's only one way to find out, isn't there.

If it happens, we'll deal with it-- but I've got a lot of experience staying alive, trust me. Don't worry too much.)

[shiro2hero]

(If you see anything glowing purple... move your hands.)

[Because he doesn't want to know what his arm could do to flesh. At all.]

[There's nothing to say to the last part, because 'don't worry too much' sounds like being told to sprout a second head or something.]
