[video] un: jbenjamin | booze + P O W E R S
[ the video features jack from a distance (who even knows how - maybe this thing works with the security cameras) as he rummages through some boxes and crates in the storage vault, chatting as he works. ]
This community survival, jobs assignment thing is cute and all, but we're forgetting a direly necessary aspect of all civilized society across eras and dimensions:
[ a beat, and jack sucks in a deep breath, before looking into the camera. ]
The time-honored tradition of getting shitfaced on intoxicants to avoid facing the doomed reality we're all chained to.
[ c h e e r f u l .
anywho, back to spelunking for more supplies. ]
That understood, I'm taking volunteers for this vital project.
Despite the droid army's literal buzzkilling, I have a few buckets, a lot of piping, and not a single clue what to do with any of it to make alcohol happen.
[ as you can see at his feet: a couple buckets, much piping. there appears to be another useful tub looking thing in the crate he's reaching for now, that's a little too high up for him. ]
So if anyon— oh come on, you hunk of space trash. [ jack is about half a foot too short to be able to reach this crate and it's really starting to get obnoxious. that is, until the crate rockets off the edge of what it's sitting on, smacking jack directly in the face, and sending him toppling backwards onto his ass. sitting up straight with a jolt, he's squinting down at where the tub inside rolled, some 5 or so yards away, stretches out a hand, aaaand...
zoom, right into his palm. ballin. ]
Uhm. Powers are back?
[[ ooc; powers are not back, but I did just buy jack's canon powers back, and if you guys have AC points you can count up, as long as you post them into your AC thread, you can go ahead and spend them on the rewards page. the TDM threads can be used for bonus AC as well. ]]

[ the trade was an opportunity, and a strategy to keep himself safe in a number of ways. a lot of details he hasn't shared with more than maybe a single person. ]
Something that probably wasn't an equivalent exchange. Not my soul and not my first born.

Someone already called dibs hahaaaa badumtish.Pretty clearly something he doesn't seem willing to state. ]no subject
[ there was probably some research out there, someone who had tried to find a commonality between the people with the x gene and the people without. ]
How long you had these powers?
