[ Tonight, the video feed shows Gaby tossing a roughly palm-sized object up into the air and catching it repetitively; for those who venture to look more closely it's a door knob. For those who venture to look even more closely, there is a nearly-unhinged door somewhere in the background. Sorry, Heropa 006. ]

I'm curious. Now, I'm sure this question has been posed many times before, but I'd still like to know. How many of you already had powers before you were brought to this place? And how many of you were--for lack of a better term--completely ordinary beforehand? And how did you adjust to your newfound powers, if at all?

You see, I've been here for quite some time now, but still find it a little difficult to compensate for this--hm, unnatural strength? [ she doesn't want to call it super strength ] That I've been given. I assumed I would get used to it over time, but perhaps there's something more to it than just that.

[ She sighs, and stops tossing the thing up and down, now holding the broken-off doorknob up to be seen. ]

In other news, there doesn't happen to be anyone here with the power to fix doors very quickly, does there? I can certainly fix it myself, but I'm afraid I might make things worse instead.

None taken. I bet hand bones break easier than doorknobs, anyway.

[ That earns a chuckle, sandpapery and sedate. ]

Then I guess I'm going to have to hold you to that. I have nothing but spare time. if you care to practice breaking things with company.

[ Or 'surveillance', but that's less friendly. More lies: he has a job, if a sorry excuse for one. ]

Gabriel Gray.

[ In this world, it's a good enough name as any, and even happens to be real. Not to mention serendipitous. There's a subtle smile in his tone when he notes, mild mannered; ]

I resisted shortform nicknaming, personally.
