Display Name: Superman
Profile Photo: Here.

[ there's still snow melting on jon's shoulders and in his curls as he lifts a hand in greeting, a small, slightly uncertain smile on his face. evidently he's done the superman thing and either speedran the introduction to this new dimension, or else after the alliance brought the newbies to the diadem, he'd instead gone back out to help in the blizzard for a while longer. both options are equally likely. ]

Hi. [ for a moment, he looks every inch the worried seventeen-year-old he really is, but then his expression smooths, smile firming into friendly confidence. ] For those that don't know me, at home, I'm called Superman. I don't usually operate at the behest of a particular organization, but.. this isn't my dimension, I guess. [ he's probably still not signing up for a guild, considering he didn't even join the league, but.. you know. never say never. ]

Anyway, I still have a lot to pick up, since I'm a pretty new arrival, but I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself, since I'm aware that an unexpected blue-and-red blur in the sky could be kind of alarming if you don't know what it is.

[ his other purpose with this is to check in with anyone else at home, but he doesn't want to call them out if they're in hiding. ]

.. Also, I've done a little reading about the guilds here, and I'd love to hear your opinions about them, whether you're a native inhabitant of this dimension or not. Thanks!

Central? Isn't that like... really fucking far away?

[ No offense, the guy is cute, but she doesn't want to spend hours in an awkward flying piggyback as he transports her across state lines.

She also would feel bad about bailing halfway through this mess. ]

I'm almost done this street. How about you help me wrap that up, then we can talk escape plans.

[exponentially]

The Alliance is teleporting people out-- [ he turns, trying to take in the area, and points in a direction. ] --that way. [ he is really fast, but safely carrying someone moving that fast can be tricky, so. you know. better safe than sorry. ]

Fair enough. [ he hefts his sign with a quick, earnest smile. ] Explode away. Let's get this wrapped up. [ and check on the people trapped in buildings while they're at it. a lot of them probably just want to get home. ]

...Oh.

[ Yeah, teleporters make more sense. Even if Lana isn't 100% on how much to trust these Alliance people. ]

Alright, cool. Get ready to shovel!

[ She holds her hands in front of her and focuses her blast into a targeted point, trying to clear a path down the street and towards the door of a building on the corner. There are people visible in the windows, waiting to be rescued. ]

[exponentially]

[ he does his best to help direct the blast with the sign and quick little bursts of his heat vision, mostly keeping any debris from hitting windows, cars, or buildings, and catching and redirecting the snow. quickly, it's piled up onto the curb with the rest of it.

once it gets closer to the door at the end of the street, he plants the sign down in front of the windows to protect them, holding it steady and giving her a thumbs up. ]

Last couple of yards!

[ Okay... This isn't turning out too bad, she thinks. Not a horrible first time clearing snow, as a one woman superheroine plow service. She takes a deep breath, nods, and aims one last blast at the remaining snow drift, scattering and melting it, and finally clearing the door.

Relieved cheering comes from inside, and people start pouring out of the building, into the street. ]
