So I keep hearing things about people who don't have gifts or abilities already. That they end up developing them here. This is account of the Core, it's influence and such, yeah? And I'm assuming people who already had powers n' things don't get anything new when they come here?

Is it random or does it sort've come out like something that fits or ( Read more... )

[the feed turns on to show a teenaged girl with dark hair that's been mussed just a little bit, and just the littlest bit of dirt on her cheeks where she'd obviously wiped at tears. She's standing just outside of the Tower Apartments while she holds the device out to record. It's shaking just a little since she can't keep her hand still.I'm in ( Read more... )

[ It's a while after the sirens have gone off when a video feed is posted to the network. Claire has traces of mud in her hair from earlier muddy escapades in the baseball diamond when she arrived. For the most part, however, she seems very ... neutral. Not overly cheery but not about ready to break down into tears, either. She's not exactly ( Read more... )

[Jinx is awake. She has been for the past few days. It's still difficult for her to move much, so she's propped up on her hospital bed. Her hair is stringy and greasy, falling around her shoulders. Her face is pale, lacking any trace of makeup. For a moment, it looks like she's about to say something, but her shoulders drop, her lips purse, she ( Read more... )

You know, I've actually gotten to like this place ( Read more... )

[Tile. Linoleum tile, to be precise, but the camera moves quickly to show a chair and then, finally, Chuck, looking almost grotesque: his face is streaked with blood and ash. He's in the hallway of Skye Medical Center, looking exhausted and utterly beat. A few long seconds pass wherein he seems to be gathering himself, trying to find words. How can ( Read more... )

[When the video feed clicks on, Jinx is sitting, absolutely wide-eyed, in her favorite chair at S.S. Kahve. In the far corner of the screen, an employee can be seen cleaning up a puddle of spilled coffee. Well, less spilled, more like dropped without a single ounce of remorse. What can she say? The little metahuman is anxious, excited, and still ( Read more... )

[When the feed comes on it seems Syrena is at the docks, for they can be seen in the background. As it's early in the morning, just after sirens have sounded, the place is deserted. A few fishing boats can be seen in the distance, tied up at shore. As for the mermaid herself, she's settled herself on a bunch of rock not too far out from shore. Her ( Read more... )

I've had calls all morning about whether or not there will be some sort of police presence down by the diamond because of what happened to Himawari. The answer is yes, obviously, though I'm not sure what good it will do now. I'm sorry about what happened to her. It's not right and steps should have been taken to guarantee the safety of the greeters ( Read more... )

 [The video turns on to a view of Kate's face and a nondescript wall behind her. She looks decidedly calm about all this, as if it's just a common occurrence or something. Which it isn't but freaking out really never did anyone any good]

Well, I'd like to say this is the weirdest thing that's ever happened but it's really not. It's definitely in the ( Read more... )
