[She turns to watch the people walking past them, not reacting like she was thinking about which superhero she would want to randomly come into effect] I’m not sure, I just want something that I can actually use. If I get something that means I have to stand in the background the whole time I’ll be pissed.

[alecxmasters]

It's a superpower, yeah? I bet it'll be cool no matter what you get.

[blythe-harwell]

She fiddles with a machine as she speaks. ”I laughed because it is so bad that it’s funny. Sort of funny, at least. It’s embarrassing.”

[alecxmasters]

'So bad that it's funny' and 'embarrassing' sum up my entire sense of humour, honey bee. You love it.

[keaghancayne1]

"No, I just said nothing’s happened."

[alecxmasters]

Oh, right. Are you going to the meeting on Monday?

[stayoutofthisprincess]

[keaghancayne1]

"Hm. So that’s really it? You haven’t moved something by accident with your mind or anything?"

[alecxmasters]

No, I wish. Why? Have you?

[blythe-harwell]

She can’t help but laugh as she hears the punch line. “Oh my god. That is terrible.”

[alecxmasters]

You laughed, so it can't be that bad.

[estelle-sandoval]

"I’ll remember that."

[alecxmasters]

I will too, so it works out well for the both of us.

[melissa-skinner]

[Melissa follows him to the side, crossing her arms over her chest] No, I’ve just had some soreness and a bit of pain in my hands and fingers, but other then that I haven’t had any pins and needles.  [She let out a sigh] It’s only about twelve hours since the injection so it might still be mild effects, but I have no idea.

[alecxmasters]

It must be different for each person. [He shrugs, pushing his hands into his pockets. Glancing at the people walking past he grins, leaning forward slightly and lowering his voice.] What do you want to be able to do?

[keaghancayne1]

"No. Do yours?"

[alecxmasters]

On and off, yeah. It's more uncomfortable than anything.

"Well, assuming we won’t be meeting regularly outside of our group, you don’t really need a name for me, now do you?"

[alecxmasters]

I'll stick with boss lady then.

[blythe-harwell]

"To tune out your awful jokes?" She laughs as she walks backward to the drink making counter, allowing a different worker to take over the cash desk. "I don’t know. Why do bees hum?”

[alecxmasters]

[he moves to the side so the next person in line can order.] Ouch, Bee, that hurt. [he pauses for effect before he delivers the punch line, tapping a drum roll on the counter.] Because they don't know the words!

[estelle-sandoval]

"I might."

[alecxmasters]

I'm gonna take that as a yes. [he walks over to get his drink when his name is called, returning to her once he has it.] So what am I supposed to call you? 

[melissa-skinner]

[Melissa pressed her lips together into a tight line as she looked at him] Somehow that just makes everything worse.  [her eyebrows furrowed at his question, stopping in her tracks and turning to face him fully] What? No, I haven’t, my arms just a bit sore.  What about you?

[alecxmasters]

[Alec stops as well, moving closer to the edge of the sidewalk so people can still get past.] Tingly. [he wiggles his fingers.] And pins and needles, but that might not have to do with it.

[keaghancayne1]

He looks at the cup. “Jesus Christ, go get a sleeve, then.”

[alecxmasters]

Nah, it's fine. [he pulls his sleeve over the palm of his left hand, passing the cup there.] Do your arms hurt?

[blythe-harwell]

She gives him the best exasperated look that she can muster with the people in line all staring. ”Look, I’ll just remake it. You don’t need to cause such a fuss.”

[alecxmasters]

Yeah, alright. [he stands up straighter, still watching her.] Hey, Blythey, why do bees hum?
