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.

Yeah. Stupid question. War is... [Well. War.] What about the experiments? Are we talking Island of Dr. Moreau or more like Weird Science?
action;
I think they can be sort of...anything. I've only been through one, and for that I thought I was a movie star. Other people thought they were pregnant. I got off lucky, but it still sucked.

[He scans the restaurant as he heads inside. It looks normal at least. Like a restaurant you might find at home. Only fancier than anywhere he'd normally go. McDonalds it isn't.]

Just don't hate me when I tell you 'I told you so'.
