[ACTION]

[So Barnaby recently decided that since he's got himself a roommate, he should probably learn how to cook. He bought recipe books the other day, though for some reason, he's attracted to the fried rice recipes (as well as beef stroganoff and cabbage rolls), and just yesterday got the needed ingredients.

...so far, his attempt at cooking is not going so well, judging from the fact that there's a bit of wreckage in the kitchen. Like, say, a hole in the wall, and a broken jar.

And the perpetrator is already standing up, trying to get his bearings as he's glowing blue and adding up the cost in his head and wondering just how he's going to be able to pay for this. That, and he needs to find a way to keep this new power of his in check.]

[AUDIO]

[After the blue glow fades and he's sure he can't accidentally wreck something, he picks up the PDA and addresses the network.]

I have a question. Say you, ah, remembered that you have a particularly powerful ability at the wrong moment, and you activated your power by accident. What would you do if you accidentally destroyed part of your wall in the process?

I think you're only option is to unleash a shitstorm of sheer, uncut panic and get a good freakout going.

Or get some spackle or something.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

...besides panicking, anyway. [He's already panicking internally, anyway.]

What if it's a rather large hole that can't be easily fixed?

[has-a-blog.livejournal.com]

Of course this totally has nothing to do with that loud crash from earlier.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

Somewhat. In my defense, it was an accident.

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

*Well THIS is familiar. On the other hand, everybody who witnessed HIS mishap is gone... so... Haw.*

You say you trashed a wall? Gotta be careful about these power activations, man, you never know what you're gonna bust. So what kinda power you got?

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[...maybe he should've filtered it away from him. This is really embarrassing by itself already.]

Apparently, I can boost my natural attributes by a hundred for five minutes.

[Sound familiar?]

[thekoistiger.livejournal.com]

*Well that's pretty -- hang on a second.*

Wait, what?!

[hystaria.livejournal.com]

Paying for the repairs would be ideal.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

That's something I'm planning on doing, as soon as I raise enough money for it.

[hystaria.livejournal.com]

So it was your doing, after all. What's this "particularly powerful ability" that you recalled?

[For some reason, Danny feels as though this has been a recurring problem in his life. He doesn't remember any of it, but something tells him that his ghost powers have caused him many a destroyed property, and he winces internally, sympathetic.]

Say sorry and try fixing it. I mean...there isn't much else you can do from there.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

True. Thank you for the advice.

In the meantime, what would you recommend for covering up a large hole in the wall?

[totallynotaspaz.livejournal.com]

Uhhh...I dunno. I haven't really had to cover up holes in walls. Maybe bricks? That's what the walls are made of, right?

[action]

[empireofmymind.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

[Oh, great, the last person he wants to see right now. The kitchen is a mess, really, besides the rather conspicuous hole there's a broken jar and fried rice all over the place. This is so embarrassing.

But hey, someone needs to pick up the shreds of his dignity, so he nods, taking care not to move so much for fear of repeating what happened again.]

I'm fine. I just remembered something at the wrong time.

[empireofmymind.livejournal.com]

Is remembering - always that violent?

[Audio]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

...I think you ought to talk to Kotetsu about that.

[Audio]

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

I have.

[It didn't go well.]

[Audio]

[wontdieifkilled.livejournal.com]

Did he mention that he did the same thing?

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

I would see about repairs as soon as possible, then I would embark upon an intensive training regimen until my power was fully under control.

[Not that he had to do that. Certainly not.]

I hope you're unharmed.

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the advice. And yes, I'm unharmed, though I can't say the same for the kitchen.

[And his fried rice...]

[a-civil-service.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome, Mr. Brooks. That is a shame, but kitchen fixtures are easily replaced.

[A pause.]

Do you remember much about your power, or just the simple fact of it?

[canthandleacape]

Exactly how theoretical is this?

[bishonenbunny.livejournal.com]

Not very.

[canthandleacape]

[Booster laughs. He thought that was the case, but he wasn't expecting the honesty.]

I hope it wasn't a very important wall, then! As for what I'd do, I'd look into a way to put that power to good use.

[This is a hint, Barnaby, are you catching that this is a hint? It's pretty hinty.]
