apparently my powers changed.

is there any way to test one's invulnerability that isn't terrible and frightening with the potential to end horribly?

please don't offer to take a literal stab at me. my heart can't take it.

INVULNERABILITY TO WHAT?
ALSO, WATCH OUT WHEN YOU GET BACK. BRENDAN IS ON THE WAR PATH.
SOMEONE STOLE THE RABBITS.

CROBAT HASN'T COME BACK YET SO I'M HOPING ITS FOLLOWING UP ON SOMETHING.
NO OFFENCE, BRO, BUT I'M NOT GONNA PUNCH YOU OR ANYTHING.
I COULD LET YOU TEST IT ON MUK, THOUGH.
IT COULD MAKE CONTACT STING REAL BAD AND SLOWLY AMP IT UP OR DOWN.

if this ends like it sounds like it's going to, hit me up for healing.

[hunksmash]

i'm really hoping that i'm not going to need it and i'm going to actively avoid needing it but yeah. so noted.

hi. i'm hunk.

i can't think of a way to test invulnerability that isn't going to, you know. hurt you. or i'd offer to help more.

hi, hunk the invincible. magnus.

Everything has the potential to end horribly.

[hunksmash]

yeeeeeeeah. good point. i guess.

i'm just trying to curb that as much as possible.

Be careful where you do your testing then. You don't want to get the attention of the jerks that are vandalizing everything in case they want to do more than graffiti.

Perhaps it would be useful to start off small and slowly build up to more powerful things. That way you can keep track of how well you are taking the smaller things and when it is starting to test your limits.

[hunksmash]

definitely a good plan!

it's just, you know. picking and choosing how to attack yourself never feels very promising. even on a small scale.

[snarkbot]

Paintball, perhaps? Paintballs have been known to cause bruising but humans often play it regardless.

[lasersounds]

Dude! Hunk! Welcome back buddy!


...You know we could always have Blue tackle you. She's probably missed you too, though she has been acting weird.

[hunksmash]

weird? like weird how?

do you want me to look her over?

[lasersounds]

I don't know just...weird. Since Allura came back.

Might be a good idea to do some maintenance, right?

I don't know how much help this might be, but we can see if your invulnerability extends to heat. See if you react to hot coffee? Iced lattes? That kind of thing?

[hunksmash]

oh. that's a really good idea! thanks!

everything's felt normal in that respect so far, but i haven't been pushing it or paying attention or anything.

[eloquentness]

No problem!

I figure it's a harmless way to see if heat bothers you. Worst-case scenario, I know a guy who can heal burns.

[SORRY SHE HASN'T MASTERED TEXT YET--]

Couldn't you just wait and see if stubbing your toe hurts or not?

[hunksmash]

[ IT'S ALL GOOD. He'll talk! ]

I guess so, but if you just do something incidentally, it might not be noticeable at all. Besides, that wouldn't really be pushing any limits.

I might wimp out and go that route, though. Innocuous injuries and paintball. It sounds way better than some of the other potential options.

I can help! That's actually a power of my people, in theory, if we're exposed to an element for long enough. First, you want to pick something. Second, stay hydrated. Third, have a buddy so if you pass out, you'll be okay. Oh! And always poke magma with something not attached to you before you start to dig into it.

[ What... is going on here? Hunk just squints at the screen for a few seconds. ]

Uh... Okay. This is a situation in which I recognize all the works you said, but the sentences-- I don't really get what you're talking about.

[juniberries]

Hunk! You've returned! [she looks so relieved, as do the mice which hop up immediately on her shoulders at the sound of Hunk's name.] I was getting worried.

[hunksmash]

[ Allura and the mice get a little wave. Hi, guys! ]

Present and accounted for! Sorry to worry you. I got no control over where and when I go.

[juniberries]

[the mice wave back!!

Allura, meanwhile, gives a wry smile.]

I completely understand.

So you went back to our universe?
