revoltndevelopment | Issue # 001 - SUDDENLY! A Wild Thing Appears! [Action]

Falling dreams are normal. You lock up with a start in your bed whenever you hit the ground, blink up at the ceiling before rolling over and going back to bed. Or you wake up mid fall, hit the carpet, groan, then climb back in to fall asleep again. Or try to. They're universal. If you can fall or fly or know of the concept- you can have a falling dream.

Ben Grimm has flying dreams, most often. Not the ones where you sail along in the middle of nowhere in nothing but your pajamas- flight dreams of controls and cockpits and the thrill of the test. Pushing a carefully crafted machine to the limit and then some. Twisting mid air and hitting the highest peak before plummeting down with all the weight of gravity wrapping around his gut and giving it a solid yank. That's his kind of falling dream.

Normally when he has them, he wakes up when he hits the ground.

Waking up mid fall is odd.

Waking up literally mid-air?

A revolt'n development.

He can't see or hear past the rush of wind, can't really get a good look at the ground beyond an impression of trees, houses, water way out over to the side. No sign of Reed, Sue, or Johnny. Nowhere soft to land either.

"Aw $%#@%!"

The landing's rough. He's had rougher, but he thinks he skips a few times. Barrels through a few trees. Clips a building, glances off a roof somewhere. Lands in...he has no idea. But the wall shears open like tissue paper and he finally rumbles to a stop, swearing in a low, gravely voice.

"...hate when that happens."

[ooc: Break time if you like, Ben can land anywhere and everywhere- in your home, in front of your place of business, in the fountain. Find him wherever you want! Break time!]

So long as they're try'n to get out and not try'n t'pick us all apart for a science project? I dunno. Got no complaints.

I can barely stand going to medical. Unwilling science experiments nowhere on my list of things to experience.

'least you go back t'normal after awhile, yeah?

I would hope so, yeah. If everything went well.

Y'say'n sometimes it don't always go well? Can't imagine that work'n out in th'long run. People here 'nuf t'make that an issue.

Yea. Not...to burst your bubble, but we had a run-in with people from another enclosure, Kin'Cora. There were permanent experiments there.

The amnesia was bad enough and that was only a few days. No lingering effects but... it probably shook a lot of people.

...now that's downright unsettl'n. Who's to say that can't happen here?

[No one, not really. It leaves a foul taste in his mouth beyond what he's already had to swallow with being stuck here.]

Unfortunately? Nobody.

Got the cute little barcodes to prove it.

I wanna know how the'#%& they got mine t'stick. I don't mark up easy. As in at all.

Sandblaster?

High power laser cutter?

Sandblasters tickle. Laser cutters kinda itch.

Well, its how we got that spraypaint off your back...

Graffiti?

[It makes him chuckle softly.]

Someth'n like that. Wasn't like I sat still and invited it.

As I recall, you fell asleep on a bench in Central Park. The Yancy-Street Gang took that as an invitation.

[Clint will just be here, trying to stifle his laughter at that.]

...awright maybe that was a bad idea, but c'mon. That was juvenile even f'them!

...its the Yancy Street Gang.

It could've been worse. They could've had a chisel.

Would've broken the chisel. I ain't made of pebbles son.

He's really not. It could've been a jackhammer though, Ben.

Well, I didn't know. Never tried to sarve my name into anything that can hit me back.
