Bitterwoman Campfire, Wednesday Evening

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer had been feeling a bit more at ease with her whole transformation on Sunday. After all, it was supposed to happen, according to Mr. Deadpool.

Okay, she hadn't quite gone to talk to the principal about it yet. But... she was doing fine.

That was, until she burned her fingers roasting a marshmallow. She got so angry that... Pow! She felt her jeans tear, her shirt suddenly became way too snug, and... yep. She was big and green again.

She sighed.

[ooc: Very open! Feel free to say your character was already at the campfire when Jen burned her fingers, if you like.]

Ino had been just absently walking, vaguely on the way to her cabin (vaguely), when she'd noticed Sis, contemplated walking on by, and then--Sis went green.

'WTF' was way too mild. Ino stared. "...Sis?"

Uh.

[Heading home soonishly, but couldn't resist pinging now.]

Jennifer nodded. "Yeah, it's me, Ino." She sighed again. But at least her fingers didn't hurt.

[intraspective]

"Well," she said, blinking again. "So that's what radio meant 'bout you going green?"

Er.

"Why?" Ino asked. "And, uh, you sure that's healthy?"

Even surprised, Ino wasn't great at keeping her mouth shut.

Jennifer was doing her best to remain Zen about it.

"Well, I have it on good authority that this is something of a normal thing, for me."

[intraspective]

"Whose authority?" Ino asked, coming closer and looking at her with interest. "'Cause that's going to be way hard on your clothes, geez. What triggers it? 'Less you just felt like it?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Right now it seems... if I get too angry," Jennifer said. "And... Vice-Principal Deadpool. Apparently he knows another version of me."

[intraspective]

Er.

"...over a campfire?"

Hello pot, meet kettle.

"I burned myself," Jennifer said. "It was really... dumb."

[intraspective]

"Are you hurt?" Ino asked promptly. "And what do you mean this is supposed to happen?"

Ellie was sitting in her alcove when she thought she heard sounds of distress outside. She went out to investigate, right away noticing the big green...person? For a moment, she considered fleeing in terror until she got a closer look.

"Jen?" she asked a bit warily. "Is that you?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer nodded. "It's me, Ellie," she said. "Just... bigger and greener. But it's me."

[awesomebigsis.livejournal.com]

Ellie couldn't help feeling really confused right now. "What happened?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I kinda... turn into this sort of She-Hulk thing, when I get angry," Jennifer said. "It's a new development."

And one she wasn't too comfortable with, yet.

This felt vaguely familiar to Ellie, like it was something out of one of Chuck's comic books. Only this was real. "So is this...like a super power or something?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"That's exactly it," Jennifer said. "Only I don't have much control over how it happens, right now."

[awesomebigsis.livejournal.com]

"Please let me know if I can do anything to help," Ellie said sympathetically.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Know anyone who knows gamma radiation really well?" Jennifer asked.

Green students (who weren't small and frog-shaped, anyway) were something Turtle would like to think she'd have noticed, so when she went out to do some hopeful campfire socialization, it was going to take her a moment. But a closer look...

"...Holy crap, Jennifer? Or just someone who looks like her with a serious spinach steroid overdose?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer made a face.

"Why does everyone make the spinach joke?" she asked.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Because it's easy and obvious?" Turtle offered with a shrug. "But, seriously, why are you green? Fandom thing? There was this one time where rain turned everyone different colors; I wound up being pink. But, hey, green's my favorite color, so I don't think it's bad at all."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I'm a bit more than green," Jennifer said. "I mean, I kinda... Big, too. Or at least, bigger. It's a... superhero thing, apparently."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

There was a slight pause, before Turtle's eyes widened slightly.

"Ooooooh," she said, "really?"

You'd think after almost four years here, she'd stop being impressed with superpowers, but noooo. Probably because she realized that, after four years here, she totally was never going to get any herself, really.

"I think my cousin accidentally passed on his powers, sort of," Jennifer said. "I haven't been able to talk to him about it."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"You can do that?" Turtle asked, eyebrows lifting even more, because if that were the case, maybe she should just hang out with more people who had superpowers in the off chance....

Turtle plopped down next to Jennifer with a great big smile. "That is so, so cool! Is it just being big and green, or is there more to it, too?"

"Well, apparently he gave me an emergency transfusion, this past weekend," Jennifer said. "I went home and before I could really do anything, I got shot by someone. I still don't even know who or why."

She popped the marshmallow she was roasting into her mouth.

"I kinda only get to be big and green part time. And it's... kinda ruining my wardrobe."
