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!]
choosetruth: (they almost all knows how to read)

[George cups her hands around her mouth and shouts up to the roof.]

SHAUN PHILIP MASON YOU GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT! AND NOT BY JUMPING!
choosetruth: (ain't it a fine life!)

[personal profile] choosetruth 2018-07-03 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
YOU'RE A FUCKING LIAR, AND IGNORING SOUND ADVICE IS NOT A SUPERPOWER.

[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.]

SHAUN DON'T YOU FUCKING--

[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.]

[There is no way in hell that Tim is sticking anything in his head, labeled or no. He'd been relieved to discover that his own dock was, at least, mercifully empty - not that he'd call any of the baggage in his head a power.]

[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.]
postictal: (sounds fake)

[personal profile] postictal 2018-07-03 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Jesus christ, dude. [That's about all Tim manages in the span of the time it takes for him to register what the fuck just happened. He blinks several times in quick succession, as though trying to ward away a budding headache, to little avail.]

[He's not just moving fast - he's talking fast too.]

[Rocket doesn't particularly care for this event. His only real powers are his own augmentations and he'd rather not augment those or have them taken from him, so he's mostly been avoiding everyone.

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.
beatupgrass: (✘ i want to be alive. or a cowboy.)

You're gonna get a computer virus in your brain, and I'm gonna laugh and then Georgia is gonna punch you, and then I'm gonna laugh more.

[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?]

[ There's a lot of shenanigans going on with these powers around the mansion, so Ange isn't even really all that surprised when someone suddenly zooms by her, too fast for her to even see who it is. She doesn't even bat an eyelash.

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. ]
entreats: (we're going for a drive)

[personal profile] entreats 2018-07-06 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At least the 'excited' part of what he's saying clues her in on why he was running around so wildly in circles. Not that it makes her look any more forgiving about this.. ]

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

[personal profile] cisskabob 2018-07-04 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cissie is minding her own business, going about her day with a little bit of extra caution and awareness. She does not want to stick any ridiculous CDs into her head, and she can't say she wants anyone to decide to try poking her in the forehead and taking her abilities. She knows she doesn't have superpowers, but she isn't so humble that she doesn't know that all of her skills and training and her aim, in particular, are a little out of the ordinary. She can't say she'd even mind if someone wanted to try having really good aim, but she doesn't want to borrow whatever their powers are in the process.

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?!
cisskabob: (whaaa)

[personal profile] cisskabob 2018-07-09 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Cissie continues to stare at him, hands over her mouth for another moment before she drops them.]

What are you doing? I'm sorry. But what the hell??

b! For Reasons

[personal profile] quickgenius 2018-07-13 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Jesse is avoiding the HELL out of the discs. Because it just seems like asking for trouble. Even if she IS curious. REALLY curious. But no. Bad idea. 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]
quickgenius: (Default)

Re: Excellent reasons

[personal profile] quickgenius 2018-07-21 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[And what's more he doesn't HAVE to slow down. She keeps pace with him easily and with them both being speedsters they can converse the same way they usually do.]

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.]
