Hey, how many of you have super speed? I wanna run an experiment.

...Or make a club! We could call ourselves the uhhhh, the Sprinters. Or the Bolts. Oooh, I like that.


Come to think of it, are there any support groups for people with powers they might not even want? Or do we have an "every man is an island" thing going on concerning crappy powers from gods who are jerks and like to see people suffer? I'm just curious, I'm not trying to be disrespectful or anything. [he is unabashedly going for disrespect]

You know, I think you're one of the few people in the city who still has that power.

We had a group that helped people develop their powers before, but with everything that's happened, it's been...hectic.

[runningstart]

I've got no problem with being unique, but seriously? Everybody else in my house has strength? [he might go knocking on doors]

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Something like that. [There's a bit of a grin on his face now.]

I'd offer to help you figure yours out, but speed should be easy enough. [Merlin tilts his head.] I still could if you wanted just wanted someone around to talk to about this.

[Video]

[runningstart]

Uhhh no. No thank you. I've got all my ducks in a row. Was kinda asking more on someone else's behalf.

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

Someone else? [For a friend, Merlin’s guessing.] What power have they got, then?

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

I've not met many with super speed, sir.

But there are quite a few people who will help you, if you need.

[Video]

[runningstart]

Nah, it's a super speed experiment. Thanks though.

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

Oh... alright. Well, best of luck with it then, sir.

[goldensprout]

I had a name idea, but I couldn't get it out of my mouth fast enough.

[ Long awkward pause. ]

Okay okay, even I know that was a terrible joke.

[Video]

[runningstart]

That was a terrible joke but you get a free pass. Congratulations!

Oh hey, there's gonna be a bonfire ummm soon. You should come with.

[Video]

[goldensprout]

I guess that means I used up my free pass, huh.

[ She laughs a little. ]

Rusty said something about a bonfire. [ She pauses. ] Does that mean... you're going?

[Video]

[runningstart]

Babe, I am more than just going. I'm providing. I'm gonna bring marshmallows and chocolate and graham crackers and we're all going to eat roughly three metric tons of s'mores.

[Video]

[goldensprout]

I was already planning on coming, but now that I know you're coming and there will be smores I'm pretty sure that's the icing on the cake

[Video]

[runningstart]

'Zel, do you realize that you're putting the moves on me right now? Because you are. And you got game.

[Video]

[goldensprout]

[ Que her cheeks turning very pink. ]

I-I um I just--!

[Video]

[runningstart]

Whoa hey, don't get me wrong; I'm totally cool with it. Just uh, just wanted to make sure you knew.

[Video]

[goldensprout]

I didn't realize I had any kind of moves or anything. You're just fun to hang out with, you know?

[Video]

[runningstart]

[that's ok wally is a FLIRT and also sixteen so he thinks every single 'i like hanging with you' is game]

Thank you, thank you, I think I'm fun to hang out with too. You also, I guess, especially when you're doing that hair-ninja stuff and hanging upside-down from a three story window.

[Video]

[goldensprout]

If you're impressed just from that, then I have a lot to show off.

[Video]

[runningstart]

That sounded vaguely threatening but I am so, so cool with it.

[Video]

[goldensprout]

I'm just saying my long hair might be weird, but it's pretty useful.

[ She gives him a big grin. ]

Anyway,... I'll definitely be there at the fire thing.

[intelligently]

What power would you have instead?

[runningstart]

...what?

Oh. No, I don't hate my power. Well I mean it could be better, but I don't hate it. No I was just...y'know, curious and stuff.

[intelligently]

You don't have to hate it to prefer another power.

[runningstart]

I don't even know all the other power party favors being handed out. Like, I know there's shadow stuff, and growing stuff, and some other stuff but like...what's better than speed?

I'm pretty sure I got the best power is all I'm saying.

[intelligently]

Well I've never met anyone with it. Is it just running fast?

[brainsqueeze]

I think that most of this is unwanted.

[runningstart]

Okay yes but I wasn't going to go that deep into it. Also: sarcasm. I do think the gods suck.

permatext.

[brainsqueeze]

They do. I don't think there's a support group.
