ive never actually been outside new york before so im wondering
what do people even do for fun in michigan?
stand at the bank of lake huron and yell insults at canada?

ive done some searching and this universe doesn't even have jupiter jim!! which obviously makes it inferior to my own universe
u guys are missing some prime cinema

[He won't even start on the lack of Lou Jitsu movies because that's his dad and thinking about it bums him out.]

less important question: does anyone else who fell through the weird sky hole have powers that aren't working right?
asking for a friend

In my case I have one power that is not working completely as expected. I do not believe I can adequately describe it's... strangeness. It works almost entirely as it has in the past with the exception of when it does not.

[faceguy]

ok but is there any kind of pattern to it? any cause you can think of? because mine's been all over the place

[greatairplane]

Mine had an external 'anchor' that did not arrive with me. It had to find a new one.

[faceguy]

[Wait that actually sounds relevant to his whole problem.]

was the anchor an object? how'd u find a new one?

[greatairplane]

I didn't pick either anchor. My power determined what it would be on its own.

No idea on the whole fun thing. I showed up here last month an apparently Christmas is a very important thing here in America that makes stuff different than normal.

And no powers that aren't working right here. Just got some now. Well, got one now anyway. I can make clothes out of nothing... that don't seem to last more than a day no matter what I try.

[She almost wrote "got a new one now", but fortunately her brain is actually working and she's texting so she could you know, not blow her secret identity.]

[faceguy]

what so your power can think for itself?

[faceguy]

yeah it's a one day holiday that lasts from the end of october to the start of january

that power sounds like it would be great for makeover montages!

[greatairplane]

Unfortunately, yes.

[fluttersinoceanswind]

Really? That's ridiculous!

And probably! Haven't really tried to give someone a makeover here yet, but it's totally doable. And probably necessary. Some people show up here with wings and other limbs they didn't have before!

It's also really good for trying out clothes ideas before you try to make them the normal way.

[faceguy]

weird but ok
mine can't but I do think its messed up because I lost a sword
guess its not the same, though

[faceguy]

americans never do anything halfway. you'll get used to it

yeah random mutation is pretty bad for the wardrobe. I saw it a lot back home too. some of my bad guys were fashion disasters

[greatairplane]

Your power relies on the use of a specific sword or a sword in general?

[faceguy]

a
specific one?
kinda?
in theory I should be able to make a new one but so far no dice

[greatairplane]

Is your power to make a sword?

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

ok, first off, if you do yell at canada from across lake huron, be prepared because canadians will yell back, especially if you diss hockey

second, I'm gonna need some more information on this jupiter jim dude because he sounds AMAZING

[pinball_wizard]

Mine aren't. But it's kind of hard to mess up turning into a giant rubber ball.

[While he may not know the exact meaning of "asking for a friend," he can recognize a punt when he sees one. That last bit seems like the important one, so that's what he goes for.]

what happened to your friend?

[faceguy]

no

[...]

sometimes?
its complicated

[faceguy]

whats the worst they can do, apologize at me?

[Ok but finally someone is asking him the REAL questions.]

jupiter jim IS amazing
he flies around the galaxy in his spaceship the SS Starbolt working toward interplanetary peace
mostly by beating up lots of vicious aliens with cool weaponry
theres movies, comics, and of course a non-denominational holiday special

[faceguy]

what so your like a human bouncy ball? my little brother would love that

[faceguy]

[It absolutely is, though it's not as stubborn of a punt as Leo usually makes. Still, if someone is going to not call him out on it he'll take it.]

powers on the fritz. they don't work like theyre supposed to.
either a them problem or a this dimension problem and they're hoping for the second one

[Because if it's a him problem then that sucks.]

[ holy shit it's a turtle. it's a teenage mutant ninja turtle!! ]

I mean. We have the Fast and the Furious franchise.

[effiomsfavorite]

[Well, he's talking. It's a start.]

okay

how are they supposed to work? how are they working now?

or I guess how are they not working now

[faceguy]

teleportation and portals
sometimes they end up a few feet from where theyre trying to go
or it just gives up halfway
or doesn't work at all

its unpredictable is what im saying
