Can't go wrong with a good burger.

[god i have so many threads where people are getting food and now i'm rEALLY HUNGRY]

It's nice to be eating things that aren't out of vending machines now.

[becomemod]

[Tempting Britt with food]

The vending machines weren't that bad, were they?

[Will can jump in line with White Tiger if he wants. Nobody will question White Tiger if they let someone cut in line.]

[stunwhistle]

Hey, I like junk food as much as the next guy, but I am also a medic. The nutritional value - or lack thereof - of that stuff was going to cause some problems if that was all we were eating for too long.

[becomemod]

...we lived on that stuff for a few weeks while this part of town was being rebuilt...

[stunwhistle]

[oh, he looks worried now]

That's not good... eating stuff like that for too long can cause fatigue because you're not getting the fuel your body really needs to keep functioning. Especially when you guys were also doing hero work on top if it, that's bound to be really rough.

Good news is, with things being rebuilt and more food available, it shouldn't be a permanent problem.

[becomemod]

It's probably fine. Most of us are under 30. Younger people bounce back quickly right?

[stunwhistle]

Well, you're not wrong about that.

...sounds like most of you are pretty young to have all this hero stuff on your shoulders.

[SAYS THE 16 YEAR OLD]

[becomemod]

Ah, well. It is what it is. And most of us are adults, albeit young adults.

[stunwhistle]

[he shrugs]

Fair enough. Disasters don't really wait for people to be the right age to deal with them. They just happen, and you either rise to the occasion or you don't.

[becomemod]

It sounds like you're used to that kind of thing.

[stunwhistle]

Yeah, well... [he shrugs] That's just how it is, I guess.

[becomemod]

That's how it is where I'm from too. Growing up with a power in a world full of normal people can be a little isolating.

[stunwhistle]

[okay, atsushi.]

...no kidding. It gets easier once you meet other people who are like you, though.

[becomemod]

[Who's to say]

Oh? Is it like that for you too?

[stunwhistle]

[he nods]

Yep, sure is.

[becomemod]

I take it you have powers back in your world, then?

[stunwhistle]

Yeah. It's actually kinda strange to be able to do less here than I could back home?

[becomemod]

Oh? What kind of powers did you have there?

[stunwhistle]

Well, I did have healing. It just didn't really have as many restrictions on it? ...and I could glow in the dark. [...] And fire off light like a laser.

[out of his stomach. a literal care bear.]

...I also recently found out I had some control over like, illnesses and stuff?

[becomemod]

What fascinating utility. How do you get all of that from one power?

[stunwhistle]

It's not one power, exactly. It all comes from my dad. He's got power over all those things and more - and his kids inherit parts of it.

Most of my skill lies with healing, though.

[becomemod]

Your dad? Who is he?

[They are assuming he is someone famous and powerful.]

Healing is a very useful skill though, so it's a welcome one to have. You might be called on frequently here, small accidents happen all the time.

[stunwhistle]

Apollo.

[it's always interesting to see who does and doesn't recognize the name, tbh]

Yeah, that makes sense. I'd rather not see people get hurt, but... at least if something happens there'll be something I can do.

[becomemod]

[They do recognize the name, and are interested when they hear it.]

So you're a demigod?

[stunwhistle]

That's right.

[he would be much more secretive about this if "demigod powers" wasn't right there on his profile]
