Augh - Superpowers Virus

[pikapikapikarin]

You know everything's gone wrong today when we have both a bodyswitching incident back home, as well as, well...

[She moves her camera over and she's clearly broadcasting from sunny California as she's inside one of the theme parks that dot that coastline.] Super speed. Is this another virus, community? I didn't think we'd get another one so soon after the tiny wing thing.

I've only managed to sit down now since taking more than five steps will shoot me across landscapes. I'm also looking for a bookshelf to get back home. So far there's only fake bookshelves here.

A virus is giving everyone abilities they never had before.

[pikapikapikarin]

Oh dear. This'll make things difficult. I can barely control the speed.

[makewayforroze]

It would be best if you moved as little as possible.

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah heh. Probably! I wouldn't want to go shooting over my house again.

[makewayforroze]

Did you make it back home yet?

[quicktoreward]

You're looking for a bookshelf.

[pikapikapikarin]

Yes, so I can get home. I can use it to open a magic doorway.

[quicktoreward]

I've heard reading is power but that's...

[pikapikapikarin]

Ah well, it opens a doorway to a magic library. All the worlds' stories are there as well. And with that, I can get home and sit down before I accidentally zoom across the sea again.

[winterkicker]

Man, I agree with you. I thought I was lucky after missing that last one but...

[pikapikapikarin]

It just seems odd but I remember reading there's usually two viruses a month or so...

[winterkicker]

Jeeze. All I wanted was to eat something in peace but no the stupid community decided I should I have frost breath or something.

[pikapikapikarin]

Oh dear. I'm surprised you can eat at all. Are you able to eat or drink anything at all?

[second_star]

What, you being chased? What are ya running so fast?

[pikapikapikarin]

Oh no, I'm not being chased. It's just that somehow I managed to get super speed, and now I'm able to run for long distances across seas and everything!

It's stopping that's hard. I haven't been able to take more than 5-10 steps before the speed suddenly kicking in.

[second_star]

That's probably a sign to take the day off, you know.

[pikapikapikarin]

It probably is. Once I get home I'll just pop in a DVD and watch some television.

Provided I can get back in time for supper.

[selfished]

What, isn't super speed supposed to be pretty awesome? You'll never have to sit around to travel again, so you'll avoid being bored!

[pikapikapikarin]

It's hard to control though. I'm trying to get back home and I keep overshooting it.

[selfished]

.. How can it be hard to control? Isn't it supposed to be your power? So you should be able to control it!

[pikapikapikarin]

It comes in fits and spurts. If I take about 10-15 steps anywhere I break out into a super speed run. And then I find it hard to stop it.

[ms_potts]

Oh no, are you okay?

[Pepper blinks]

Wait... Are you in California?

[pikapikapikarin]

I'm fine, just unable to control my super speed. And yes I'm in California. I managed to zip right across the pacific ocean.

[ms_potts]

Super speed, huh? I've got three of me at the moment.

I live in California, actually.

[pikapikapikarin]

Three of you? That must be interesting!

And California really? That sounds wonderful. I wonder if we're in the same place. I could come visit...
