(the feed opens to wendy adjusting her comm on a table she's set up in a park not far from the lucky cat cafe in heropa. she's grinning when the feed opens, but there's a sense of mischief to it this time around, her chin propped up in her hand.) Sup, hero dudes. I'm Wendy, super strong teenager, normal stuff for around here. But lemme ask you guys something. Who's really using these powers for the right things? Such as...

(she rises from her seat at the table, pulling the comm back to show a sign on the table! one that reads in bright, vibrant marker:

HUMAN JUGGLER
MEANING I JUGGLE HUMANS
OH AND NON-HUMANS TOO

the camera pans back to her, the grin a little brighter on her face as she gives a thumbs up to the camera.) Yeah, I've never actually juggled people before. Or really tested out how strong I am. But no biggie, I'm sure it'll go fine.

(famous last words and she knows it, but she's a teenager, they're pro at bad ideas and she is no exception to this rule.) Oh, you guys probably want a demo or something, huh.

(so she very casually just picks up the table with one hand, raising it up and down like it weighs almost nothing at all.) If you wanna see more impressive feats of teenage strength, just drop by the park near the Lucky Cat Cafe in Heropa.

That sounds dangerous.

[ Audio ]

[hardcorduroy]

No way, dude, it's at least 70% safe. (wendy.)

[ Audio ]

[okamichild]

And what happens the rest of the time?

[ Audio ]

[hardcorduroy]

I see how fast my reflexes are! See, totally safe. (it's not, do not trust her.)

[hunksmash]

You trying to break into the street performance biz?

[hardcorduroy]

Hey, everyone's gotta have a side gig, right? And I haven't started charging people.

Yet.

[hunksmash]

You could do the hat thing.

You know, set it up nearby for impressed dollars and spare change.

[hardcorduroy]

Nah, that's way too cliche. First ride is free, after that, it's five bucks for anymore. (never let it be said that stan pines didn't teach wendy valuable life lessons.)

[iamtetsuo]

Big deal. I can lift a car.

[Audio]

[hardcorduroy]

Well, excuse me for not just picking up some rando's car instead. (u wanna fight, testuo.)

[Audio]

[iamtetsuo]

[When does he not want to fight]

Sure, you're excused. Bet you can't even do it...

[Audio]

[hardcorduroy]

I can, actually. But I'm pretty sure I'd get arrested for hurling cars in the air. Unless you're volunteering yours. (how u like them apples.)

[kryo]

[ Well, if anything she's feisty. He likes that in a person. ]

And how do you recruit volunteers for this particular show?

audio |

[hardcorduroy]

You come up and ask me to toss you in the air and I try to juggle you. (she clearly thought this out, after all, chances of injury are only like 30%.)

audio |

[kryo]

People do?

[ Amused. ]

I like a thrill as much as the next man, but that does not seem safe.

[hardcorduroy]

Or non people! (this is important!!! she has to be inclusive.)

Hey, c'mon dude, cut me a little slack. I haven't dropped anyone!

audio;

[homerunning]

Dude.


You never told me this--don't tell me you've been hiding your strongarm abilities this whole time....

audio;

[hardcorduroy]

What can I say, man, you never asked. (she's purely teasing, honestly, the subject of powers just never came up.) But, hey, now that you know... wanna be juggled?

audio;

[homerunning]

[Well you're not wrong, Wendy. There's a bit of a mischievous smile in return.]

Well I mean...anyone with strength as their superpower can juggle a human.

I've got something a little bigger in mind.

[starlinings]

Wendy-san...

[He's...amused. Enough that a smile cracks on his lips and he can't help but just beam at her over the feed.]


You can test it out on me.

video;

[hardcorduroy]

Dude, Gran, no, it's not a test. Think of it like... a carnival ride. (except the first ride is free and you can't get a lawsuit out of this because insurance isn't involved.)

Re: video;

[starlinings]

A carnival ride?

[Well, that's not something he expected. He's so used to powers being something you train for. But then again...star line was kind of like that.

He can't help but show a little smile.]

Am I tall enough?

[audio]

[felinefancy]

[Okay, well, she has to admit that this is actually kind of amusing. Better than most of the people who come on here to whine]

I just have one very important question: are you charging for this display?

[audio]

[hardcorduroy]

(wendy is far above whining unless it's actually a situation worth whining about.

like the taco stand running out of nachos.) First ride is free. After that, I'm thinking... maybe five bucks a pop.

[audio]

[felinefancy]

Smart. Nice way to build word of mouth without giving away too much for free. [Selina is of the opinion that if there's a chance to make money, you take it]

The super strength a new toy or were you born with it?
