[video] HEY, SIROCCO, GET YOUR JUSTICEBUTTS IN GEAR ALREADY

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Okay, so. I just remembered some more stuff and...I think I was a--a superhero back home! Or, uh, something like that.

Wow, this sounds ridiculous.

I mean...I don't know what else you'd call flying around beating up bad guys with green energy beams. [Danny shifts, his gaze moving to the corner of the room off-screen. He fidgets and looks significantly more awkward than a supposed superhero ought to be.] Not like that makes it any less weird. Dead people beating up bad guys is always going to be weird.

So! Uh...does anyone else come from a place where superheroes aren't totally fictional, or is it just me?

((OOC: 1% on fighting mooks and bad guys throughout Reign Storm, as well as public perception of him afterwards. 3.5% remaining, 4.5% total memory regain.

Hey, how about that? Sounds like there's a lot of us around, then! I know I come from a place with superheros.

So that's what all that power was about, huh? Not too shabby! Great line of work.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Oh--really? Is it just you and me, or...are there even more people too?

You think? It sounds like it'd be really dangerous. Although I guess that doesn't matter much when you're already dead, huh...?

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

Seems like it! Or at least some folks who would be with the right equipment. We could get a real band together at this rate. No television crew, mind, but who needs it?

Hey, the danger pays off in the lives saved. Trust me, it's a damned rewarding business.

...Another one?

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Another...superhero?

[Audio]

[anteaterbeater.livejournal.com]

Yeah. My roommate told me he's one, too.

[has-a-blog.livejournal.com]

Dude you can't be much older than I am. You're, like, a nick toons super hero wannabe at best.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Uh, well, I don't actually know how old I am, since I'm, uh, a ghost, and all...

But this...costume-thing I'm wearing looks pretty superhero-y, right? I mean, it's got a logo and everything.

[has-a-blog.livejournal.com]

Okay the skin tights are a pretty telling sign, I have to admit.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

...A superhero.

You.

Really.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Uh...

Yeah?

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

[Jr. shakes his head, chuckling.]

Damn. I must be some kind of star space pirate or something, then.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

Just how can a ghost be a superhero?

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Uh...by beating up any bad guys who show up? At least, that's how I remember doing it.

[sealed-rose.livejournal.com]

That is not what I meant. What I am trying to ask is how is it that a ghost is a good guy? It is almost counter-intuitive to what someone would think of for a superhero.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

You think that seems weird? I would think being a superhero would be quite fascinating. I've read some graphic novels from the library that were very interesting!

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Well, sure, fascinating, but that doesn't mean it's not weird too.

[deathly-origami.livejournal.com]

Well, perhaps, but... I'm sure that some people fantasize and daydream about being able to experience such things... otherwise, I don't think there would be graphic novels created about them!

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

I come from just such a world, myself.

In fact, I work with the organization that is responsible for directing the Heroes' efforts and coordinating them with other local law enforcement. As a judge and as curator for Hero TV, I ensure that all their actions fall within the law.

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

So...the superheroes where you're from are like, a weirdly costumed, superpowered section of the police?

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

Yes, you could say that. It's a fair enough description.

I'm working on setting up a similar arrangement with the city here. I've had some success, if you'd be interested in becoming involved. I believe they'll be allowing us the use of a building to serve as a headquarters.

I'M WORKING ON IT OK???

[canthandleacape]

Would you expect superheroes to be fictional?

WELL, WORK HARDER!

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Uh...yeah?

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a little young for a superhero?

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Hey, wasn't Spider-Man, like, sixteen?

...That, and I, uh. Don't actually know how old I am.
