[ this is Mary Jane Watson. it's pretty lateish at night and she's laying on a bed in a tanktop and sweats, hair pulled back. there's a book open before her and she's tapping a pencil against her bottom lip when she speaks up. ]

Hi, everyone. It's -- uh -- it's MJ again and I promise I won't start screaming or freaking out over this. I just have a question.

Like, I understand the major gist of this place, right? The Darkness and the Core, the big Two and so on, but... can you guys talk to me about your powers? The ones you have or the ones that were given to you. [ she pauses, twirling her pencil around her fingers ]

Just anything about them. I'm curious.

[ there's a beat, as she considers saying more and then: ]

Well, thanks.

I don't know; some people's powers could just be... not having powers or something.

Okay, yeah, that's a really stupid idea. I know.

[bigandbad]

I get that you're nervous, kiddo, but look at the whole thing this way - I've yet to meet a newcomer who's developed a power they couldn't deal with.

Oh, I guess that's a little better then. I mean, hopefully I'll never have to find out.

Unless they're something cool.

[bigandbad]

What would be "cool"?

[jackpots]

I don't know -- flying, I guess?

[bigandbad]

Then maybe you'll get flying. Don't worry so much.
