[001 | video]

[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.]

Smooth Eddie, very smooth!

Oh, don't be mad at me because you're so clumsy. [Though apparently some power is involved?] Is that your power by the way? Thought you had coordination going for you at least.

[ 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?

[ Thawne? ]

You might not want to forget warm water and soap. That's how you get ants.
hsalf: e.t. (what if every bad thing that happened)

[personal profile] hsalf 2016-01-14 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Boo.

Tell me Eddie. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

[Nevermind that Eddie already knows Eobard's powers...]
hsalf: icons by me; credit if taking (wanted to meet a cool ancestor)

[personal profile] hsalf 2016-01-14 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. [A pause and then a sigh.] No. I can't lie to you Eddie.

C'mon don't be so cagey about it. It's not like I can do something to your powers if you tell me about them.

[ The view of her place gives away the fact she isn't living in one of the government houses or apartments. She's content in her apartment in De Chima, honestly. ]

You're suggesting your powers made the bottle do that?
hsalf: h.w. (let me give you a hand)

[personal profile] hsalf 2016-01-14 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He snickers smally at Eddie's expression and then the fall of it.]

I appreciate your over-estimation of my capabilities. Truly. But you have nothing to fear. It's not like...I would really do anything to you.

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.)
boobwindow: (ehhh)

[personal profile] boobwindow 2016-01-14 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, [ she waves a hand ] friend of mine can now talk to bugs or something.

It's like a random draw when it comes to the Porter.

[ 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!
pobrecisco: (I will never say the word procrastinate)

[personal profile] pobrecisco 2016-01-14 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... No? Maybe. Hang on.

[ He disappears back out into the garage. There's some rustling sounds, then a huge crash. Cisco returns after a moment with a mop in hand and chaos of a tipped over utility closet behind him. ]

Yes. Apparently.

[His expression drops and exasperation seeps in again.]

If you don't want to tell me, then so be it. I'll just take the challenge of finding it out myself. Should be fun.

[He smiles laxly, yet cat-like, because now he's too damn curious about what it could be. Eddie is taking too much effort to hide it, so it must be good.]
How are you enjoying your time so far? You live in Heropa #13, right? I wonder if you took my old shoebox room.

["Shoebox" being normal size because Eobard's standards are ridiculously high.]

[ 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?
boobwindow: (omnomnom)

perma that

[personal profile] boobwindow 2016-01-14 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's odd... she wonders what about his powers he wants to keeps secret, but so far it doesn't sound like much. ]

Could be you're over thinking it?
