Hi, City! How's it going? Crazy, you say? Yeah. Well, good to see you're not quitting your dayjob, I guess. If crazy is your dayjob, and by now, it probably is...

Guess what? It's list-time! For the sake of our collective sanity. Yay!

Who's experienced power loss/gain in the past, like, 24 hours? And what kind of power is/was it? We got some

I picked up some fella's super speed, says his sister. I think I got a message from the guy that's got my electricity, but I couldn't get his location outta him yet. He, uh, didn't sound so hot.

[owwmyspine]

Check on superspeed--do you know the guy's name? Or his ID number? I could probably cough up a location tracing his comm.

Or, you know...maybe just do a trace on recent electrical surges in-city...

[shockheadedpete]

His stuff was encrypted.

I dunno how to trace that stuff without my powers.

[owwmyspine]

Dang. Okay. Hopefully he sees this? So then someone can go help him out.

Oh yeah--duh moment: your name? For the list.

[shockheadedpete]

Pete Cheney. Yeah, he needs my equipment or he's likely to fry, uh, everything.

[owwmyspine]

Everything-everything? Or everything connected to an outlet-everything?

[shockheadedpete]

Uh.

...

It...sorta depends what his mood's like.

[owwmyspine]

Crap.

[shockheadedpete]

I don't mean to make it sound dangerous, 'cause it ain't. It's just...it don't turn off.

[owwmyspine]

Oh--well. For a second, I was thinking we were dealing with somebody who could be mass-zapping people downtown? Because I don't know how cool I am with that, to be honest.

[shockheadedpete]

He.

Uh.

He could be. I s'pose. If he got real mad about...anythin'.

[owwmyspine]

Here's hoping the guy doesn't take the expressway downtown during rush-hour, then. Crap.

[shockheadedpete]

If it helps any: without my equipment he won't have much luck aimin'.

...

I don't s'pose that helps any at all.

[owwmyspine]

Not entirely? I'll leave a notice and hope the guy gets back in contact with you about that equipment thing.

Better mark myself up there for gaining an ulcer...

[shockheadedpete]

Yeah.

Heh. You can mark me down for having lost near on twenty-five pounds if you'd like, but that ain't any kinda power, and I don't think anybody else is gonna be pickin' it up.

Weight-loss testamonies are for tv, dude, not my List of Powers and Things that Will Hopfully Make Sense.
