[Voicemail] a_relative_hero January 7 2011, 03:26:06 UTC

Uh hey. I'm Houston. Firestar said it was okay to call you? [A pause.]
Anyway, she said you were a speedster and I was wondering if maybe I could get some tips on superspeed stuff or running or whatever. I didn't have any powers before I got here and I got these powers that are kinda like superspeed but not exactly and yeah. Could we maybe talk some time? I can be reached at [phone number]. And thanks in advance.

[ring riiiiing...]

[The call's answered and there's the sound of some fumbling with the phone.]
Hello?

Re: [CALL BACK] oncemercurial January 7 2011, 04:27:36 UTC

Angelica gave you my number?

Re: [CALL BACK] a_relative_hero January 7 2011, 04:29:03 UTC

If she's Firestar and you're Quicksilver then yes.

Re: [CALL BACK] oncemercurial January 7 2011, 04:31:08 UTC

Indeed.

What can I do for you?

Re: [CALL BACK] a_relative_hero January 7 2011, 04:34:00 UTC

Well umm, like I said in the message I left, I'm looking for some tips and pointers on super speed stuff. Having powers at all is new to me so I was hoping someone with more experience would have advice or something like that.

Re: [CALL BACK] oncemercurial January 7 2011, 04:36:20 UTC

I find the idea of not having abilities more troubling, personally.

What, specifically, is upsetting you?

Re: [CALL BACK] a_relative_hero January 7 2011, 04:41:03 UTC

Yeah, I grew up with no powers but both my brothers, my little sister, and out next door neighbor had powers. It was kinda annoying.

Well, nothing's really upsetting me. I've mostly got these powers under control but there are still times when it just turns on on its own. And I was hoping I could learn more about using my powers effectively in general.

Re: [CALL BACK] oncemercurial January 7 2011, 04:53:34 UTC

Both my sister and I had powers, though they differed.

My variety of super speed isn't something that can be exactly turned off. Through a great deal of patience, I can communicate and function with the rest of society. If you are experiencing irritation or impatience, I'm afraid that is simply a natural aspect of these powers. It never goes away, exactly.

Re: [CALL BACK] a_relative_hero January 7 2011, 05:06:53 UTC

Everyone around me had different powers too. There was electrokinesis, super invisibility, power mimicry, and super pheromones.

I'm not entirely sure my powers are the same kind of speed as other speedsters but I'm not sure what else to call it when everything else seems so super slow.

Re: [CALL BACK] oncemercurial January 7 2011, 05:29:34 UTC

As I said, that feeling doesn't go away. Depending on how fast you function on average, the world will seem unbearable at times.

Re: [CALL BACK] a_relative_hero January 7 2011, 05:42:55 UTC

Oh. Well that's a pain.
Are there any other problems for speedsters?

Re: [CALL BACK] oncemercurial January 7 2011, 06:08:23 UTC

You might find that you age more quickly.

It's avoidable. I can't explain how I do it, however, I've managed to all but stop aging.

Re: [CALL BACK] a_relative_hero January 7 2011, 06:17:50 UTC

Aging more quickly. Oh man. That's...that's not good.

Re: [CALL BACK] oncemercurial January 7 2011, 06:35:34 UTC

It can be rather depressing. As I said, it's avoidable.
