[ The image that resolves is one of a young man wearing a blue domino mask. His smile is friendly and warm as he lifts a hand in a wave hello.

It's just also largely covered by a thick black beard. (He has at least trimmed it, but it's going nowhere anytime soon.]

Hi, everyone.

We all know we're probably heading into a new mission soon, and at this point we've spent a lot of time working together and learning about each other. I know we'd all like to be able to plan ahead, but without knowing what the mission will be until it comes, the only way to get started is to figure out what kind of assets and abilities we have available.

If you're willing, check in and let everyone know what skills, talents, powers, or other abilities you have.

No one has to participate. But if we all can get a better idea of what we can do, we can try to plan ahead, form teams between people with complementary abilities.

I'll start: hi, I'm Nightwing, and while I'm a normal powerless human, I can offer hand to hand combat, acrobatic, and detective skills, and — uh —

[ He looks over his shoulder, at something or someone off-camera. ]

Hi, Robin. Care to introduce yourself and your abilities to the nice people?

[ Oh. Oh, she knew this was public but- Ah! Ah??? ]

I- Yeah! I mean, sure, that's.

Sorry, I'm not used to people being... interested to know more, I guess? Most people are, like, afraid of us which- Is why I haven't really. Told anyone, what I am. Until now.

[She can't help a small chuckle.]

Well, I'm not. Afraid, I mean. I have really high standards for scary...which is both fortunate and unfortunate, now I think about it.

[But she holds up one hand.]

So it took even more courage than I thought...look, really, you don't have to tell me anything if you don't want to, I swear. I think of you as...a friend, if you're ok with that.

[She's a bit red, since she's bad at this sort of thing, to her mind.]

And you've been pretty great, and that's all I need to know. But I'm happy to learn more about a good person.

[hasitsthorns]

[ There's that word again: friend. It's strange and surreal, but not unwelcome. Friends. Why is she always surprised? ]

Of course, I am! I mean, I just- I never want to assume anything, is all? So I tend to think other people don't consider me a friend until they say so, like. Now! So.

Thanks. I do appreciate it, really. Maybe not on here, but- I can show you me sometime. Like, me without the human glamour.

[She nods.]

Lotta rules and steps to figure out with the whole people thing, right?

[Said with a slight smile.]

Happy to share in return, to balance things out. Though it sounds like my abilities will be kinda dull by comparison. But I'd be honoured. Really.

[hasitsthorns]

I've had about fifty years now or so to get used to being a 'person,' but- Yeah. Always learning new things.

I'd be happy to know though whatever you got going on too if you wanna' share.

Want to transition into a thread of them meeting and sharing, or...?

[once_reborn]

[She nods.]

Sure, I do. Makes sense, too, so you know what you've got in terms of backup. Whenever you'd like.

maybe they can meet up after the mission!!!

[hasitsthorns]

Y-yeah! Maybe we can make a time of it? Just hang and talk and- All that.

[once_reborn]

[She nods, slowly.]

You got it. Whenever you're up to it, no rush.
