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!]
neversurrender: (look at the mess you've made)

[Another mention of Sue. He's definitely a teammate of hers then.

That last part makes him pause, partially surprised. Is it really that obvious?]


Uh...yeah, sure. I don't believe I caught your name Mr...?

[He accepts his hand in a solid handshake.]

Likewise, Ben.

I believe we have a mutual friend here.

No, not him.

Sue Richards.

I'm not sure. She was here when I arrived, and that was about three months ago.
neversurrender: (looking to the future)

I take it this is a normal situation for you?

Not in so many words. She mentioned there are a lot of superhero teams in your world.

[Frankly he'd been much more curious about his alternate universe self.]

Then almost nothing should surprise you here. Although I doubt you're past experiences have been anything like this.
neversurrender: (don't sneak up behind me)

I think magic confuses everyone when it's involved. Everyone who isn't a magic-user anyways.
