hey, so, full disclosure: this is super weird for me. i've never done this before. like, classically when i tell people bad stuff happens so i sorta don't tell anyone, but uh, here goes:

so i've got... superpowers. it feels like?? that's not that big a deal around here. some people are like 9 ft tall and can do magic (???) and have full robotic wings so it's just nbd but also for me it kinda is a big deal so it's a little scary to be upfront about this but i super duper did just liveblog my spider wall-crawling to the entire team during the last mission pandora's box is way open so yeah i have superpowers

( and apparently he's no better at trying to send brain messages, RIP friendos, his brain is just Like This )

but anyway, uh... since there are a lot of us, maybe if you wanna, we can... share??? nothing more than you are comfortable with, obviously, and trust me if you wanna hang back and stay quiet i get it. back home, i can't share this stuff. it gets people hurt. i was just thinking here, maybe... and since there's a ton of you like me or not even like me but different too, i don't know. maybe it'd be good for us to know who can do what? what we're all capable of? things we should look out for?

i guess i should go first. i, uh... can crawl on walls. everybody saw that (SIDEBAR that is my bad for that shaky camera work if i gave you motion sickness i am so so so sorry). i'm pretty strong too. and maybe be careful trying to touch me or throw things at me bc my senses make me react if it seems like a threat and i'm not super good at turning it off. i'm trying though. i have webslingers too, for flyin around?? so that's cool

uh... that's it? ama? i'll try and answer... or you can tell me anything, if you wanna talk shop. if you wanna keep things dl, private works. trust that i get it, this feels so viscerally uncomfortable, like those went to school in ur underwear dreams, only i really did it, holy snickerdoodle, i really hope this does not blow up in my face

okay so like is this some kinda therapy group chat?

it's cool if it is

i'm just wondering if the vibe is more informational session or if we're supposed to be sharing our stories

[ ... nnnot sure he's ready for the sharing part yet, you see. ]

also hi

new guy here

[webdesigned]

hi new guy
it isn't a support group just like... team building?? ig??? nobody has to say anything they don't want to. share all u want. or don't. i'm not your boss

i just sort of liveblogged my superpowers to the whole team and uh sort of hard to pretend not to have them at that point? i guess i could try but, maybe i don't need to. i hope not.

[karaoqi]

okay cool

think i'm gonna just hang back and listen for a bit then

but hey, since you're fielding questions: there a reason you liveblogged your powers to the whole team?

[ So far Shang-chi's getting a 'show-off'-y vibe from this guy, which lol ]

or was this a butt-dial kinda situation?

[webdesigned]

it was a buttdial kinda situation. braindial? lol

anyway. brain messaging is great until it's not. trying to think straight in a high stakes situation, i guess i thought a little too broad is all.

[karaoqi]

yeah i can kinda see how that would backfire a little

get the whole 'exploit myself by accident' thing going

they definitely don't have this kinda tech back home

not yet anyway

[webdesigned]

there's some really experimental brain transplant and microchip stuff back home for me, but nothing on this level

definitely not shared between multiple people. and definitely not with a convenient earpiece format. maybe too convenient. everyone else makes sharing thoughts seem easy, i'm really not used to it

[karaoqi]

some people have an easier time sharing in general

maybe too easy

[ Looking directly at you, Social Media Influencers. ]

probably makes for a pretty smooth transition into this kind of tech though

even in high stakes situations

or maybe especially

[webdesigned]

yeah, i guess it would? easy sharers and/or tech savvy people
to be fair i would say i am tech savvy just my brain was maybe not focused enough while kovacs was threatening a magical lady to just stick to one line of communication

[karaoqi]

yeah you kinda lost me there for a bit

magical lady?

kovacs, that's the buff guy right?

[ They did a little bit of training the other day, but. You know. He just wants to make sure this isn't some other Kovacs. ]

[webdesigned]

oh yeah. last mission. magical gangster lady using the orb to rule an entire steampunk city

but "the buff guy" feels about right on kovacs. smokes like a chimney swears like a sailor buff guy? that's the one
