Alright, I think I've got this shadow thing worked out.

[Isaac mutters into the video, as he absentmindedly flexes his fingers, casting shadow puppets on the wall. After a few moments, the shadow of his hand peels from where it sits, becoming a separate entity entirely.

He flexes his fingers, and the tangible shadow of his hand flexes as well- except the dark 'fingers' begin to file down to sharp, pointed claws. Useful, even if the shadow is trembling, as if he's still having difficulty keeping it whole.]

Now I wanna see what it can do to someone else. [And Isaac grins back toward the camera, dropping his hand and letting the shadow dissipate into nothing.] Anyone wanna go at it? Powers on powers. No holding back.

I'll be at the arena in fifteen.

Not bad.

[video]

[freezerburned]

Not much else to do but practice around here.

[video]

[hollowchild]

[she shrugs and nods]

If you want to test yourself, I'll spar you, but we aren't exactly on even ground.

[video]

[freezerburned]

You've been at it longer than me.

[He quirks an eyebrow though.]

But I'm pretty sure I've got a physical advantage on you.

[swedge]

Congrats. [A smile.]

Can't really say the powers-spar would be fair, but I could see what a boost would do to it. If you wanna try working with that.

[freezerburned]

...might be interesting. Have you boosted anyone before?

[swedge]

I have. Kinda the only thing I could do in the last battle.

[robb]

[ Robb's been carded with the power of damage drain and he honestly hasn't had the faintest idea as to how to use it. ]

I should find myself a novice as to these powers, the gods have bestowed. If you have no qualms, I would not object to learning.

( VIDEO )

[freezerburned]

Yeah, no worries.

[Why does everyone he meet here talk like they're from a medieval movie, geeze.]

Come on down, we'll go a few rounds.

[robb]

[ robb is part of asgard's renfaire sad2say. ]

I shall make my way to the arena. What is your name, ser?

[empowers]

Not all powers are active like that. Some are more passive. But what's the point of shadows on a wall? How is that useful?

video.

[freezerburned]

The point is that they can come off of the wall.

[Obviously. Isaac shrugs, but his smile is a little cruel.]

And wrap around your throat, if I wanted them to.

video.

[empowers]

That's terrible. [ Wow scary kid. District One much? ]

[action]

[daddyissues]

[there's someone walking into the arena, down to the front seats, and sitting there]

Shadow control, huh?

[action]

[freezerburned]

[Isaac turns to look at the new arrival, quirking an eyebrow up. He doesn't recognize him, but that's hardly new around here.]

Seems to be. What about you?

Re: [action]

[daddyissues]

[there are an awful lot of faces, knowing them all would be difficult]

Same.

[mccallmemaybe]

[ The shadow hand? Creepy but impressive. Isaac asking people to fight him? Dumb as hell in Scott's opinion. ]

You're asking strangers who could possibly be psychotic not to hold back using their power on you?

[ He thought you were smarter than this, Isaac. ]

video;

[freezerburned]

[He shrugs.]

Worried? I can hold my own. Besides, it's not like some people have crazy powers or anything- it all looks pretty equal, from what I've seen.

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

Did you forget we don't have super healing here? You could get seriously hurt. [ And the fact that Isaac is acting cocky means he probably will get hurt. ]

[video]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Why does the house full of psychos get the most active attacking powers?

[So this is the werewolf. Well, the one who can't figure out whether to shit or wind his watch when it comes to accepting his identity. Pyro likes the attitude, he has to say, despite his disparaging remark - it's just not his style to offer genuine compliments.]

All I can do is heal faster than anyone who's offered so far. And no, I won't just let you fuck me up for practice, regen or no regen.

[video]

[freezerburned]

Please. The only psycho thing about this is the fact that people treat me like I'm some kind of homicidal maniac for wanting to cut loose a little.

[Isaac just has to shrug. He's completely innocent in all of this, see.]

[video]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Yeah, I don't see why. Last time I cut loose a little, no one gave a shit once everything was over.

[It's the first time he's admitted to the fire in public, albeit obliquely. He may get more literal if asked, though, since apparently everyone gives no fucks.]

[tradingsecrets]

Wow, you're doing pretty good.

[Says the one that hasn't explored using his powers seriously.]

You really like to up the stakes, don't you?

Video

[freezerburned]

More like I'm just bored, with nothing better to do.

[He shrugs.]

Still having trouble with it.

[tradingsecrets]

Well, if I understood how to use my powers better I'd help, but I really haven't messed with them.
