Third floor common room [morning]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Cade hadn't noticed anything was different yet today, which was why he'd gone through his normal Saturday morning routine: thinking about jogging (deciding not to), shower, then into the common room for a box of Cocoa Puffs in front of whatever was on the television at the time.

It was a thrilling life Cade led here. He was (weirdly, for him) more interested in hearing about your day today.

And then leveraging that information to his own benefit, naturally. How Peter Wiggin of him...

This morning had started with Jessica going out on a little training run across the rooftops. That training run ended when Jessica discovered that her webbing was gone and she crashed into the ground. With that, she put away her slightly turn costume and made her way to a common room.

She felt like drowning her lost power in homemade pancakes, so she was going to go ahead and make them.

As she walked into the common room and saw all of the weird stuff happening, it dawned on her that she had no idea how to make pancakes.

"Good morning, everyone. Is... something a little different in here today?" Topher was flying, what the hell.

"Jessica, look!"

Olive was like, right up in your space now, Jessica. She'd been across the room a second ago.

AMAZING, RIGHT?

"So you're saying yes. Yes there is something a little different in here today," Jessica noted after she jumped back, feeling a little startled.

"Look how fast I am!" Olive said.

More 'manic' than 'fast' at the moment. Someone was a little excitable about finally having powers.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I'm looking!" Jessica said. "Now all you need is a goofy costume and you'd fit in well in my world."

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

"Would I really?" Olive asked happily. "I'm so fast! I mean, usually I can move kinda fast if I wanna, but this is like, crazy-fast!"

"Yeah, this is a bit of an upgrade there," Jessica said. "You seem to be enjoying yourself. But fair warning, superspeed usually comes with a super metabolism. I could make some food to give you a good start on having enough energy to run around all day."

"People are a little weirder than normal today," Cade agreed.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm getting that impression," Jessica said as she made her way to the kitchen. "What with the superspeed and the flying and the whatnot. You have anything crazy superpowers going on, or are you just your normal kind of weird?"

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Just my normal self, I think," Cade replied. "You?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Ditto," Jessica fibbed. "Well, unless you count the fact that I'm hungry and came to this floor to make pancakes instead of staying on my own. Want any?"

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Cade replied. "Are you a good cook?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I haven't poisoned anyone yet," Jessica said, although that was mostly because she didn't cook for many people... ever. "And I doubt today will be the first time."

"It's probably the island," Sparkle offered, from where he was sitting on the counter, casually holding a pop tart over the stove element with his bare hand, mostly because he also had some toast on the go in the toaster, and this just seemed like the way to be. "And I will be choked if this is gone by like Monday, because it's freaking awesome. I'm fireproof!"

He didn't know who Jessica was, no, aside from occasionally seeing her around. But that wasn't going to stop him from gloating at her about it.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"How on earth did you even figure that one out?" Jessica asked. Because it needed to be asked.

[myownface]

"I'm a smoker," Sparkle replied, sounding... probably way too proud of himself over that fact. "And a bit of a pyro and I got bored."

Fingers in the lighter flame? Fingers in the lighter flame.

"Am I seriously the only one who plays with fire around here? I mean, really?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Wow, that kind of worked out perfectly for you," Jessica said. "If I got that, I would never notice."

"...Please don't get so bored that you burn the building down. All my stuff is here."

[myownface]

"Hey, all my stuff is here, too, you know. And I'm kind of fond of it."

His tin whistle and his yellow socks and his stash of booze. Sparkle really didn't have much to lose, but he wasn't in any hurry to light it all on fire.

"I was thinking maybe a bonfire out on the beach or something. Then I can play around in it all I want, at least until I get bored of it or the tide puts it out. How about you? Did you get anything good?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I got the joy of watching a bunch of people have fun with their shiny new powers," Jessica said. "Which isn't a power in and of itself, but it's still kind of super in its own way."

"No, it's a perfectly normal day here," Tony replied. Because he had his snark on this morning.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Don't tell me you've got some wacky and new power, too," Jessica said. "Because if you can astral project, I'm declaring the day too crazy and going back to sleep."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Not that I know of?" How would he know? How I shot web?!

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Okay, good. So at least I'm not stuck on Normal Island with just Cade," Jessica said. Which was funny because both she and Cade were hiding powers. FUNNY!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"...thanks." HIS BRAIN WAS HIS SUPERPOWER, OKAY? HIS BRAIN.

AND SCIENCE.

BRAINS DIDN'T COUNT. "You're welcome," Jessica said. "For the record, there's going to be pancakes, if you want any. They won't give you powers, but they're pretty good."
