and the roller coasters don't have brakes
Who: Shaun Mason and YOU
Where: All over the Mansion
When: During the powerswap event
Rating: Shaun is always at least PG-13. Just in general.
Summary: It's powerswaps. You can't expect him to just... not, right? Of course you can't.
The Story:
Shaun is a professional idiot, and usually that means doing something really dumb that he's actually very well prepared for, so it's only half as dumb as it seems, but sometimes… Sometimes it's doing something actually dumb, and this is one of those times. You can't just tell him "All you have to do is put this disk in your head and you'll get superpowers" and expect him to not take advantage of it, right? Right?
Of course you can't.
And as a person who really enjoyed superhero stories and cool stunts as a kid… and as an adult… He feels like he's pretty much obligated to take advantage.
a. the power every kid ever has always wanted
[There was no chance that when he found a disk labeled "flight" he wasn't going to take advantage. If he had been born in a slightly earlier time, Shaun would absolutely have been the kind of kid to tie some fabric around his neck and jump off a roof in a flight attempt, but he wasn't. So he'll have to take the opportunity to try it as an adult. He has a red cape tied around his neck and he's standing on the roof of the Mansion.
He calls down to someone far below him.]
Hey George! Check this out!
b. i'll be back in a you-know-what
[Here in Wonderland, Shaun has met people with super speed, and his best glitter-friend has definitely saved his ass once or twice with her own super speed, but this is his first opportunity to experiment with it himself.
And it is awesome.
He's doing laps around the mansion in seconds, and the rest of the world seems unbelievably slow to him. Is this what it's like for Jesse all the time? Because some of this is really cool, but how can she stand to slow down for a conversation with people?]
c. suddenly, from the shadows…
[A ninja! Normally, Shaun has no trouble throwing a punch, and holding his own in a fight, but this is a completely new level. Flipping, punching, kicking and generally being a lot more badass than usual, combined with the other powers he's tried, this by far Shaun's favorite event. He doesn't think he's had this much fun in months, so he's taking his ninja skills to the training arena and being the most badass possible to… a bunch of training dummies.]
d. Choose your own adventure!
[If you can think of a power that sounds fun (and physical!), Shaun is probably experimenting with it. Go wild!]

SHAUN PHILIP MASON YOU GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT! AND NOT BY JUMPING!
no subject
[That is good, sound advice, and when does he ever listen to good, sound advice?]
no subject
[More's the pity, honestly. If it were a power, Shaun would have had to remove it to put his flight disc in. Georgia mutters angry curses under her breath as she rifles through her pockets. She didn't want to put a stupid power disc in her head, but she's savvy enough to know that she might need to, and in this case, that meant loading her bag up with ones that looked particularly useful. Just in case.]
no subject
[And he jumps. It turns out that flying is a lot like throwing yourself at the ground and missing, but that doesn't mean he actually has any control over what happens after that.
Cue wild loops and crazy zigzags while Shaun just has no idea what he's doing.]
no subject
[Too late. She grumbles and shoves a disk marked gravity control into her own head.]
He just had to fucking jump off the fucking building.
[She holds up her hands and aims carefully at Shaun.
It's for the best that she misses. The tree branch she catches instead goes slamming into the ground so hard it creates a small crater.]

b.
[Mostly, he wants to get away from the hubbub and panic of people swapping powers like baseball cards, stumbling over his feet in his effort to make it to the garden and into the open air.]
[His relief lasts about as long as it takes for a blur to pass him with a rush of wind, ruffling his clothes and his hair, and sending him reeling back in shock.]
no subject
Much smarter.
It takes Shaun two more laps to register almost knocking him over, and he eventually skids to a stop in front of him.]
Heysorryareyouokay?

[He's not just moving fast - he's talking fast too.]
Wh - are you high?

[Pause. Shit. Slow down. Everyone else is slow. He needs to slow down to keep pace.]
No. I don't think so. This is fucking wild, man.

But of course, here's Shaun in the training area. Being a ninja. Rocket takes one look at him, sighs, and says, succinctly:]
You're an idiot.
no subject
Even if Shaun is being an idiot.
He stops and drops back to the ground, grinning at Rocket.]
Yeah, maybe, but this is awesome.
no subject
[Because clearly that's the other shoe of this event. Seriously, PUTTING RANDOM COMPUTER DISCS IN YOUR BRAIN IS A BAD IDEA. DID ANYONE CHECK THOSE FOR MALWARE?]
no subject
Or, I'm going to enjoy trying out some really cool shit for a while, filming it, and then being sad forever that I can't take the video back home to show off on my blog. Which is actually the real tragedy here.

But then he zooms by again. And again. And again-- Oh geez. How is she ever going to fully step out of the door when she runs the risk of someone running into her at hyperspeed. ]
Hey, are you even watching where you're going? [ She has no idea if he can even hear her with how fast he's passing by. ]
no subject
He gives her an apologetic grin.]
Sorry. Got a little excited.

Don't tell me you're just sticking whichever random disc you can find into your head.

d, with NINJA POWERS
Maybe it's because she's hyperaware, but as she makes her way through the halls, she feels like someone is watching her, but every time she looks, she doesn't see anyone. It's making her cranky and frustrated and on edge.
Which is why, when she turns a corner and someone jumps out at her with a yell, suddenly in her space, she reacts without thinking, throwing a punch and... immediately freezing when she realizes who she just suckerpunched.]
Ohmygod, Shaun, what the hell?!
no subject
I guess I deserved that...
[His tone is very dubious. He's not sure he deserved that at all.]
no subject
What are you doing? I'm sorry. But what the hell??
no subject
I was practicing my new ultimate ninja powers. It was supposed to be funny. This suddenly feels extremely not funny.

b! For Reasons
But science...For now, though. NO. So much no. She'll just stick to practicing and eating her body weight in food to keep her energy up. And brewing more speedster booze.
It's when she catches the tell-tale lightning of another speedster that her attention is piqued. Who the hell found a disc with speedster powers. So she takes off in pursuit - and not going to lie, it's not hard to catch them.
Him.]
Holy shit. SHAUN?
[Okay this is kind of great. Her best glitter friend is a speedster for a little while]
Excellent reasons
Jessie! This. Is. Awesome.
Re: Excellent reasons
Yeah it is. It really is.
[She is GRINNING SO HARD. Turns out she's missed having other speedsters around. And it's SHAUN, so it's even better.]
