[Dick gives a half smile and a little wave to the camera. To those who know him well, he looks a little flustered. But this has been a weird week]

Hey, everyone. Dick Grayson, here, I'm a new guy. And I've got a question. Is there any way to practice or tamp down a power that’s… kind of passive?

[There’s a light growling sound, Dick turns and raises a hand.]

Just a minute! [He looks back at the camera.] This is just getting a little--

[Before he can finish his sentence, there’s another growl and a blur of sandy colored fur tackles Dick. A very large blur of sandy colored fur. It is, in fact, a lion. But he’s not trying to hurt Dick. He’s just licking his face and looking very happy with himself. Dick laughs and rubs the lion’s face, then looks upside-down at the camera.]

This is the second time Chewie’s escaped from the zoo and followed me home. I’m pretty sure the neighbors are gonna start complaining soon. So, any thoughts?

[Sorry residents of Nonah #004, this is happening in your living room.]

I'm not worried about getting him back. It's keeping it from happening again that worries me.

But yeah, that would help a lot. What've you got?

[hatestrashcans]

Quite a bit. Ones that might be useful:

Gorilla, Osprey, Wolf, Dolphin, Owl, Skunk, Irish Setter, Llama, Horse, Parrot, Rhino, Polar Bear, Chimp, Squirrel, Poodle, Cheetah, Beaver, German Shepard, Duck, Eagle.

[adultwonder]

Gorilla might work. It's specifically circus animals, and we had one in the circus where I grew up. [He smiles a little wistfully.] Her name was Peaches.

[hatestrashcans]

Works great for me. Gorilla's the morph I'm most familiar with, so I can definitely tell you what you're doing to it.

Though I will punch you if you call me Peaches. Fair warning.

[adultwonder]

Not if my powers are working on you. [Dick grins.] But good to know.

[hatestrashcans]

Never said I'd punch you as a gorilla.
