WHAT Last chance for timefuck except not really
WHERE Wherever
WHEN Day 127, whenever

[So, you've been messing around with time.]

[Okay, we've actually been doing that, yeah. Quiet Mounds is still a bit unpredictable, with the seasons and the clocks a little haywire. Today, there's another little pulse of magic. Maybe some of you find yourself back to normal? Or maybe more people are suddenly the wrong age or timeline. Maybe Deadpool shows up. I don't know.]

[Last post for deage/age-up/etc event, though obviously you can continue to backthread or play at your leisure after this.]

Something like that, yeah. He's a guy like me, except he gets smashy smashy when he's mad.

[mistruths]

...He looks nothing like you, though.

[ pause. and then he looks horrified, slapping a hand over his mouth ]

I-I didn't mean any offense, I'm terribly sorry!

[made_up_names]

[ Aww. Peter can't help but laugh at that apology, sorry Loki. ]

Nah, it's totally true. I'm nowhere near as strong as he is.

[mistruths]

You're also not green. Is he...a giant?

[made_up_names]

Nope, he's a human. But he has like ... that alternate form inside him. That can bust out at any time.

[mistruths]

I didn't know humans could do that.

[made_up_names]

He's pretty special. Definitely the only one I've ever heard of.

[mistruths]

[ he's so confused ]

[made_up_names]

It's like - look, some Midgardians are really special. There's not many of us, but we're strong, or fast, or we stick to things, or all kinds of stuff.

[mistruths]

That sounds messy.

[made_up_names]

Nah, it's not messy at all. I can show you.

[mistruths]

Are you a Midgardian that sticks to things?

[ appraises him ]

You don't look sticky, though.

[made_up_names]

[ looks like a normal dude ]

That's 'cause sticking to things and being sticky are different. Here, I'll show you.

[ There's a convenient tree nearby, so he just kind of. Walks up the side of the trunk and onto the underside of a branch. ]

[mistruths]

[ :O!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[made_up_names]

See? I stick to things.

[ He does a casual little backflip and lands on his feet. ]

[mistruths]

That's amazing!

[made_up_names]

Right? I'm pretty proud of it. I'm the only Midgardian I know who can do it.

[mistruths]

Are all Midgardians so different?

[made_up_names]

Nah, there's just a couple of us like this.

[mistruths]

But how do you know?

[made_up_names]

'cause that's how many superheroes there are? Normal Midgardians aren't like that.

[mistruths]

[ scrunches his nose ]

What's a "superhero"?

[made_up_names]

Someone who uses their power for good.

[mistruths]

That seems oddly specific.

[made_up_names]

Well it's right in the name. Power and heroics.
