One Gigawatt - [Action / Voice]

[Action - Locked to Bolin]

For what seemed like moments ago, Static watched as his mother vanished into darkness. A barrier constructed of space of time kept him from reaching her. And there'd been nothing he could do. Everything went dark and then there was nothing.

Until now. There was grass, the sounds of chirping birds and the sun getting in his eyes. Immediately Virgil sat up in a panic and looked around frantically.

"Mom!?"

But as far as he could tell, there was nothing. Worse than that, he realized he was in nothing but a pair of white pants that he had way more sense than to ever pick up for himself. And he was in a forest, which didn't bode well. Okay, so you're Virgil right now. In the middle of nowhere. Possibly in Medieval times if Timezone messed things up.

"Oh man. Not good."

Warily, he began to explore.

[Action - Afternoon]

So he was stuck in a place called Luceti. The first thing he did, once he got a chance to be by himself, was circle back to the clothing store and assemble his Static outfit. He found his metal disc at the item shop not long after. So once he felt confident with his much weaker powers, he took off towards the barrier. After about fifteen minutes of pumping it with electricity and getting nowhere, he decided it would be a bad idea to drain himself completely and be forced to walk all the way back to the town. So he returned to town, found a convenient power outlet to draw power from at the Tea Shop, and finally decided to do something about the journal. The question was... introduce himself as Static or as Virgil Hawkins?

Well, the answer was obvious.

So hey, Static here. If you haven’t heard of me, I’m a superhero from Dakota City. But really, has anyone heard of me? No, it’s not in North or South Dakota. I get that a lot. So I guess you could kinda say I’m new here. But I was kind of wondering about how to deal with the superhero thing. There's others here, right? The secret identity thing is pretty important, after all. But it's probably gonna be hard keeping it secret in a small town like this. Unless I just wear the mask all the time. I could probably do that if I have to.

Man, I just wish the Justice League was here. Batman would have already found a way out of this place by now.

I guess I wouldn't be a very good cheerleader, huh?

[Bugger.]

Of course, of course! It must've been...much more better than it sounds! Because Batman is good.

[No he's not, he's a berk.]

And...........noble.

[Wanker.]

[Bulla laughs.]

Well, yeah, I'm not exactly praising the Malnosso. I can think of a few people who are worse than them, but it's not a long list, I've got to admit.

Something like that.

[Yes, because that's totally the same thing.]

What, you mean in that they only infrequently bugger up important things?

Sure thing.

[Maybe sooner than he thinks, since, you know, he's a Robin. But that's beside the point.]

It kind of does, doesn't it? Guess that makes me the wizard in the party.

What, now facial hair is required to cast spells?

noitatnacni: (is that an order?)

Re: [voice]

[personal profile] noitatnacni 2013-05-17 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Along with all the women wizards in those books, right?

Oh, forgive me for not using the gender-appropriate label.

For the record? Beards, mustaches, goatees, sideburns or any other sort of facial hair aren't actually required to use magic.
noitatnacni: (are you being serious?)

[personal profile] noitatnacni 2013-05-17 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
I think I've done pretty well without them, actually.
noitatnacni: (i don't mind)

Then I guess we'll all have to suffer for my girlish looks.

It really does. The Robins here are very cool. [Even if one of them is likely linefacing at his lack of a filter as he speaks.] But it sounds like you're a different kind of a secret-hero.
