Action 2 jaws5sonofjaws November 8 2011, 07:04:15 UTC

[Mart rushes to the park to see what all the explosions are about. Turns out awesomeness is ensuing.]

Holy shit, is that a laser gun?

boostedfailure November 8 2011, 11:15:04 UTC

Naw... Its an energy gauntlet. I'm not cool enough for laser guns. Those things chew up power like you wouldn't believe.

jaws5sonofjaws November 8 2011, 21:33:48 UTC

You don't say.

But you can still blow shit up with the gauntlet thing, right?

boostedfailure November 8 2011, 21:36:36 UTC

Oh hell yeah! What's the point if you can't blow shit up. I mean watch!

[He points, there is a flash of light, and where there was once a tree, it now rains toothpicks]

jaws5sonofjaws November 8 2011, 21:42:10 UTC

Awesome!

Hell, I wish I could do that.

boostedfailure November 8 2011, 21:43:14 UTC

Eh, blowing up trees gets boring after a while, that and you know, its all for the job.

jaws5sonofjaws November 8 2011, 21:44:57 UTC

And what kind of job are you talking about?

boostedfailure November 8 2011, 21:47:02 UTC

Back home I worked in the masked defenders of justice line of work.

jaws5sonofjaws November 8 2011, 21:55:19 UTC

Dude. That is so cool!

Was it before or after all super heroing became corporate backed?

Me and my buddy work as freelance back home.

boostedfailure November 8 2011, 21:59:10 UTC

You know... I thought I was the only corporate backed one of us back home. Huh, guess it caught on in other worlds. Back home I got a lot of grief for it.

jaws5sonofjaws November 9 2011, 00:03:55 UTC

Well, corporate or government.

Like there's a difference.

They passed a law that all Metas had to be licensed after the "Super War of '84"

Though me and my bud work independently like Private I's or Mercs.

boostedfailure November 9 2011, 00:29:54 UTC

Nope, back home just about everyone was private. You got made fun of if you worked for a corporation and the government didn't like dealing with metas.

jaws5sonofjaws November 9 2011, 00:39:22 UTC

Yeah, I never really understood how Metas worked on their own.

Like, how did they have the money for all the gear and know where crimes where and why the cops didn't have a problem with them?

boostedfailure November 9 2011, 01:03:28 UTC

Back home, generally they were scary enough to work on their own or banded together with a few rich masks.

jaws5sonofjaws November 9 2011, 01:09:13 UTC

Makes sense I guess.

So, what kind of stuff do you do Mr...?

boostedfailure November 9 2011, 01:10:47 UTC

Booster Gold!

You know, the usual stuff. Thump supervillians, fight off space aliens, impress the ladies.
