Who: Ben Grimm
Broadcast: Video Broadcast
Action: Bishop
When: June 4th

Awright, lets get this over with quick.

[ Ben's been loitering for a few days in the Marisva, getting his bearings, read'n up on what he could about this place, but some stuff you only get through good old fashioned talking face to face. Or face to camera. A huge, craggy, orange face fills the screen, all worn and weathered and animate like stone probably shouldn't be. There's a slow blink and a low sigh, the Thing rolling out his shoulders and settling in for a fun series of conversations. ]

Ben Grimm here of The Fantastic Four and Avengers ask'n for a headcount. Who all's here, who ain't, and which version of earth are ya from?

[ It ain't his first rodeo, it ain't even his tenth- it is his second in one of these weird 'crammed in a jaw and hope noth'n blows up' sortsa places though. Seems a bit nicer than Luceti. For one thing: Space! For another: he gets to pilot. ]

And can we skip the 'oh gosh gee you're all big and orange and rocky!' like I don't know. You're in space, you've gotta have seen stranger things than me by now.

I end up break'n most a'the things Stretch tries to make t'measure it. I can go toe t'toe with the Hulk and Thor, though. Probably won't get up t'much of that here. We're in space. It'd end bad.

I'm sure the Atroma would have reinforced the ships for you. They seem to be very good at countering our abilities. The ships are shielded so I cannot read minds even from this distance.

[revoltndevelopment]

Man, must be like gett'n one of your earbuds yanked out mid song and only hear'n half a tune.

[ He shakes his head. ]

I've gotten used to reining it in. People tend to be wary of telepathy and I rather not incite that kind of paranoia.

[revoltndevelopment]

Yeah, float'n around in a can in space innit somewhere you want people t'start getting twitchy.

[axiomed]

Exactly. Enclosed spaces and telepathy rarely make decent bedfellows.

[revoltndevelopment]

Could be worse. Not sure how just yet, but I'm pretty sure it could be.

[axiomed]

Yes, but that's why we don't say that, do we?

[ It's a cardinal rule. ]

[revoltndevelopment]

Nah. 'Could be worse' ain't the thing that gets ya. It nudges at probability and fate and whatnot but it ain't the thing that makes 'em sit up and go 'time to dump a bucket of mess on this @$$@#$.'

[axiomed]

Then what is the worst thing?
