[001 | video]

[causational]

[The video shakes a little bit as Eddie sets the phone up on the table in front of him, trying to get it stable and recording evenly. Pulling his hands back, he lifts them both, takes a deep breath, then lets it go, sitting heavily in the seat so he can look directly at the camera.]

Okay, there we go.

[Eddie looks more than a little harried, stressed out - his top button is undone and his tie is a little loose. But he puts his hands down on the desk, flat, very carefully, worrying his lower lip with his teeth.]

It has been a rough few days, so I'm sorry if I'm a little...weird.

[He shifts his hands against the table, fingers twitching a little, and somehow the slight vibration knocks over a bottle of soda visible in the corner of the recording. The bottle lands on its side, and the cap pops off, soda spraying across the surface of the table. Eddie jumps back in his chair, knocks the table leg, and hisses a noise of pain as his knee collides with wood.

The phone topples over, face down in the soda.]

Dammit! How the hell did that even happen?

[A few moments of quiet, aside from Eddie cursing under his breath, and the phone is picked up - the video's blocked as he wipes off the phone with what appears to be a piece of paper towel. When the recording resumes, he's holding it in his hand and looking more irritated than harried, the whole feed streaked with sticky soda residue. He shakes his head and sighs heavily.]

There has to be someone out there with tips on how to get control of this stupid ability. Or preferably, to just turn it off.

[Glancing over his shoulder, he steps back a little and the feed skews as he stumbles over the soda bottle and topples over backward.]

Owww...what the-

[The feed flicks off.]

[OOC: Responses will come after he's sorted himself out and turned the feed back on.]

Comments

video; private

[hsalf]

[All that comes is a loud couple dramatic hand claps.]

Smooth Eddie, very smooth!

[causational]

[The reply isn't for a good 10 minutes, in the living room now, camera cleaned of soda and Eddie in a fresh shirt. He looks more than a little irritated.]

Ha ha. Very funny.

action

[pobrecisco]

[ Cisco doesn't even have his comm feed on, he's working on something in the garage, but he hears the commotion even out there and sticks his head in the door from the kitchen to the garage. ]


Eeeeverything okay in here?

[causational]

[Eddie's still drenched in soda when Cisco pops his head in from the garage, shaking liquid off his hands and looking more than a little irritated. Poking his head around the corner to look at Cisco, he shakes his head.]

Yeah, mostly. I just made a mess in my room. Do we have a mop?

video | id reads "karen starr"

[boobwindow]

[ Thawne? ]

You might not want to forget warm water and soap. That's how you get ants.

[causational]

[The response doesn't come for around 15 minutes, at which point he flicks it back on - now he's in the living room of a Heropa residence, and wearing a clean Henley instead of his old shirt.

Still looks disgruntled, though.]

Yeah, I'm gonna scrub that room from top to bottom. That has never happened to me before.

[heliophilic]

New abilities?

(OOC: Midnighter actually has the ability to see other people's powers, so if you're interested in Eddie getting a straight answer on how to control his abilities M a permissions post.)

permanent video;

[causational]

[He replies about 15 minutes after the initial post, with the camera cleaned off and wearing a fresh Henley in place of his previous outfit. Still a little harried though.

He offers a slight smile.]

Yeah. I was a normal guy before I got here.

[OOC: Thank you! Permissions post filled!]

VIDEO.

[jyuced]

[ Rough sounds about right, given what a mess this guy seems like; sure, he might just be really clumsy, but he sure seems stressed out, too. Poor guy... ]

Hey, hee--eeeey, what kind of ability is it? Maybe I can help! Or maybe you need to do something else for a while, something fun!

permanent video.

[causational]

[The reply comes about 15 minutes late, and when it comes, he's wearing a clean Henley shirt and the camera is fully wiped off. This reply makes him offer a bright little smile, head tilting slightly.]

What kind of something fun?

video;

[ringen]

[ And here is a woman of a petite stature, who had (and continues to have, truth be told) her own problems with newfound super strength upon arrival a few months ago. ]

Looks like you're having a run with a bit of bad luck there, hm? What sort of power is that?

private video;

[causational]

[The reply's about 15 minutes later, and by the time he responds, he's changed into a clean Henley, wiped off his camera properly, and is turning the feed private. He totally didn't mind airing his abilities until a certain enemy from home showed up to tease him about the post. Now he just wants to hide.]

Well, you said it. Luck. Apparently right now it's only bad luck.

voice;

[slightlyoffchilt]

It seems that sometimes there's something of a learning curve.

permavideo;

[causational]

Right?

[He shakes his head.]

I mean, that's normal, right?

video;

[garrick]

Oh hey uh -

[Jay's about to start pointing as the carnage unfolds and he can't help but wince, oh so casually rubbing the back of his head like he intended to do so all along.]

That isn't normal.

permavideo;

[causational]

[Eddie's response comes about 15 minutes later, and with a clean camera. Also a clean shirt.

And oh, it's the other guy that lives in their place. Eddie hasn't really properly met him yet.]

Hey! Yeah. It's really not normal. I'm usually a pretty coordinated guy.

voice;

[aviate]

So is this superstrength, superspeed or unfamiliar body?

permavideo; private

[causational]

[The reply comes about 15 minutes after the initial post, and Eddie's changed into a clean Henley, as well as wiping the camera off properly. He's also privated the feed because, while he was totally cool sharing before, suddenly a certain creep from home has changed his mind, at least for now.]

None of the above. It's some kind of probability thing.

[ video ]

[enucleation]

Still getting a hang of things, hm?

[ permavideo ]

[causational]

[The response is about 15 minutes late, and he's changed into a clean shirt and wiped off the camera properly.

He still looks stressed, but he offers a sheepish little smile.]

That obvious, huh?

text; comm tag is "Tadashi"

[tadeadshi]

[Well. He is all about helping and this is up his alley.]

If you don't mind my asking, what ability is it? I may can help.

permavideo; private

[causational]

[The response comes about 15 minutes later - he's changed into something more casual, the camera is cleaned, and he's made the feed private. Thanks to a certain creep from home, his decision not to hide his ability is on temporary hold.]

Probability manipulation, they called it? But I can't turn it off and it's wreaking total havoc. My roommate is already suffering the consequences.

video;

[textualhealing]

I am so glad you recorded that for us, thanks. [Hooray for seeing the humiliation of others.]

permavideo;

[causational]

[He responds about 15 minutes later, changed into a clean Henley, with a clean camera, and a brow raised.]

Ha ha, very funny.

[He rolls his eyes, but he's smiling a little.]

You're welcome. So, are you just here to laugh at me?

[Voice]

[tactile_telekinesis]

[He'd chuckled and he'd cringed. This show was...unfortunate.]

Damn, did you get the power to be ultra clumsy in a spectacular way? Because that was some display. 4 outta 10 on the fall though. Coulda used some work.

[permavideo]

[causational]

[It was unfortunate. By the time he responds, 15 minutes later, he's had to change his shirt, clean his phone camera, and get settled again.]

Come on, only 4 out of 10? I thought it was better than that.

LATE VIDEO

[foreshadower]

Well, I am rather good with powers, but...

Are you vibrating?

How risque --

Or are you just jumpy?

permavideo; private; and not late at all

[causational]

[The response is 15 minutes late, and by the time he gets back to his phone, he's changed into something more casual and cleaned up a little. And the feed is private thanks to a certain other Thawne being a creep.]

Ris-

[He shakes his head.]

I am not vibrating. I just...spilled something, that's all.

[An exhalation.]

Probability manipulation. I guess I'm just really unlucky.

[airshow]

I didn't know flailing all over the place counted as a power!

[causational]

Hey, come on. That wasn't flailing, it was just a moment of poor coordination.

video; id is bart allen (sorry)

[moded]

[Look, when a name shows up on the comm with Thawne anywhere in it, you know this kid's going to be drawn to it like a moth to flame.

Which is probably why Bart looks way too excited to just be answering a simple plea for help.]

What kind of power do you have? I mean you got your files right there's usually at least something in there about how things work!

[Someone give this kid a cookie, he didn't just blurt out asking this guy if he knows Meloni!]

permavideo; also private; and that is so okay

[causational]

[Bart Allen? What's up with that?

And what's up with how excited this kid is?]

Yeah, I got them. Um. Probability manipulation. Does that make sense to you?

video.

[tardily]

[ You know who heard the coffee cup fall and Cisco's adventure? This guy. You know who's now slightly concerned about what will happen if he even moves from his spot? This guy. ]

I'm a little worried something spilled between those two loud noises and I'm going to slip in it if I go to the kitchen. [ A beat. ] And I already did that this morning.

video. my turn to be late.

[causational]

[Sorry Barry. He'll be helping to clean all of this up. Including Cisco's paint can.]

I think Jay lost his coffee cup and Cisco's storage unit fell over in the garage. Staying put might be smart.

[A sigh.]

Someone gave me a tip on trying to get around it, though. Something about finding my happy place?

[orions_shadow]

Jeez. What a clutz.

Heheh. You're sure it has to do with the power you got or atmre you just that clumsy?
