[OOC] A Gift and a Curse

[Gisk]

@Gisk Question! Does Rhys corrade things with bare skin or like...if he wore gloves that wouldn't happen? Should he start wandering the world in a plastic bubble?

@Ellion

Well, the plastic bubble would break down. It would need to be leather :P

I've thought about it. I feel like just putting on leather or wool gloves is too easy, but I also don't want him to be completely destructive.

I think we're gonna say bare skin. There has to be some way for him to act in normal society.

[Ellion]

@GiskLol, noted. I kinda wanna make him a meathead now, just so he can slam his face into @Polyphemus Miles' car and just be like "Ya Rich boi. I broke your car. With my face!"

[Gisk]

As much as I like that scene, I think I could see him using his power against Miles' car in a more nonchalant way.

I'm thinking of having Audrey try to pull Maren outside(she's very concerned about the sky event), what do you think? She'll accidentally heal her, and will also probably make note of how hot she is.

@Gisk

Okie dokie. Yay! Marzo getting all the ladies.

[Gisk]

"Hey hot stuff ;P"

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Gisk Alright, I'll edit it then.

I just kind of wanted a little bit of drama.

[Gisk]

Eh, leave the words, because I'm already working with them. Just keep it in mind.

[Ellion]

@GiskIs Maren still hot enough to burn even though it is night? I thought she was just going to feel fairly warm. Night and all?

[Gisk]

Well her hottest is hot enough to light paper and dry leaves on fire. Paper ignites at about 480F. You can burn skin at about 176F, which is only about 80 degrees hotter than a normal human's body temperature(ha, "only"), and is about 300 less than her established high. So I think a waking range of 180-480(depending on the time of day) is reasonable.

Of course, I'm noting that I only mentioned her as being "impossible for others to touch during a certain part of the day," where this scale makes her impossible to touch basically all of the day. I think I'll scale it down a bit, but I'll let her burn Audrey just this once, to demonstrate her power.

Let's say she's ranging from 130(probably uncomfortably hot to touch for extended periods) to that same 480. And when she's asleep, she's closer to someone who just has a fever.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Gisk So what's the verdict on Jasmine? Are you still thinking of a power for her, or are we going with @NightmareInd's suggestion?

[Gisk]

Yeah, I think so. I like the other idea, but I think it's got a similar theme to the one I gave Rhys, so hyper sensitive hearing is a nice new departure.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

@Gisk That's fine with me. I'll move her to the tab, then come up with a post.

I don't think there's a lot of potential in stumbling into Miles, so I was thinking of starting a scene on the beach itself.

[Ellion]

Surprise under bed bag of cheetos makes everything better. Thought you ought to know :3.

Not that I am vengeful in anyway...but you know what else is made of metal? Aud's motorcycle!

[Gisk]

Careful now, or I might give you even worse powers. :P

[Ellion]

Careful now, or I might give you even worse powers. :P

@Gisk

Nope, you can't take it back now, your previous state of self has spoken. DEATH TO THE CyCLE!!!!!!!

Now they can both be homeless together. Like the best homeless buddies

[Gisk]

She's already a little homeless, but maybe she'll live on his boat with him.

[Ellion]

@GiskEveryone but Maren! Party on the wooden houseboat! Woot woot!

[Gisk]

Maren can swim nearby, or stand in a bucket of water or something.

[Gisk]

And we need to build the boat first, anyway.

I hope he figures his powers out before he goes home and sinks his dad's ship.

[Ellion]

@Gisk....I wasn't going to have him drown his dad out of the gate.... that would be....bad....
