[ So here's Jesse and Collette, grinning stupidly at the camera and looking like they've got a plan up their sleeves. Jesse's the first to speak, rubbing his hands together excitedly: ]

Okay, so like... I heard there's superheroes here. Like real, bona fide superheroes. Costumes and everything. And, like, where I come from, you know, we don’t really got superheroes except in stories. So we were thinking it'd be real cool...

[ Collette glances at Jesse, then to the camera. She blurts out something that surely will never ever cause immense embarrassment once she learns the extent of the super heroes she's been around (discounting Barnaby and Kotetsu, who are weird anyway): ]

... If we could meet a few of you in person, and maybe even get an autograph!

guys i only play superheroes this is the post of my dreams

[crystalia]

What constitutes a real, bona fide superhero, exactly?

welcome to our arms B) as we laugh hideously

[whatsupcroc]

Hmm, good question! Probably anyone who calls themselves one and has at least three people who agree and aren't all related to them. Or in love with them.

( She glances over to Jesse. )

What does qualify as a superhero?

[ricin]

Uh, well... If you got a costume? And a superpower? Or - or like kickass tech. And... like a superhero name?

[crystalia]

Oh, so we are on the same page, then. You never know--superhero could've meant something else entirely in your stories.

But I don't have anyone other than relatives around to verify it, at the moment.

[ricin]

Well - like we don't really need verifying. Unless you wanna show us your powers. Like... if you wanna.

[whatsupcroc]

He totally wants to see you use your powers. Plus the relative thing is for back home! I'm sure everyone's got at least someone who thinks they're super=special, that's all I meant by that.

[crystalia]

Oh, is that all? _{( She's grinning, now. Her lips quirk, briefly, and she snaps her fingers, once. When she does, a small ball of fire lights just above her hand. She uses wind more often, but the fire's flashier. People like the fire. )}

[tweaker]

Oh my godddd.

[He presses his hands to his mouth and just... stares. Wide-eyed.]

[whatsupcroc]

( Collette breaks into a big grin. )

Yes! Fire! Just like magic! I bet you're great for camping.

[crystalia]

_{( She tunnels her lips and blows out, now, and the gust of wind that accompanies that action snuffs out the flame before she settles back to reply. )}

I've never actually been. Camping, that is. But I suppose it'd be useful for that.

[ricin]

Forget camping, yo. That shit is useful like day-to-day. I bet you don't even need a microwave, huh?

[whatsupcroc]

Can you use all the elements?

[crystalia]

No, I don't really need one. But they are convenient.

_{( Since, you know, she's not going to roast her food over an open flame. )}

The main four people think of, yes. Not the chemical elements, but the classical ones.

[tweaker]

Which one's your favorite?

[whatsupcroc]

( Okay sorry she's just gotta ask... with a bit of a grin: )

Awh, no Heart? We're never going to see Captain Planet, are we?

( Trying not to laugh trying very hard not to laugh )

[crystalia]

Well, it doesn't really work like that, it's more different ones correspond to different moods and--

_{( She cuts off, then looks with raised brows at Collette. )}

Captain Planet? Is that some rank between Captain America and Captain Universe?

[whatsupcroc]

Please tell me there's General Specific somewhere out there.

[crystalia]

I'm afraid not.

[whatsupcroc]

Drats! There go my hopes and dreams.

( Or not, judging by how she grins. )

[crystalia]

I'm sure you'll recover.

[whatsupcroc]

I've been noted to have a pretty great ability to bounce back, it's true.
