[when the feed clicks on, Wrench shifts to one side and then the other in it, as if he's looking at himself in a mirror -- and all things considered, he may very well be. either way, though, he stops after a beat, and addresses his adoring public in earnest, the mask jumping back and forth between (>_-) and just a flat out (-_-)]

Sooooooooo, I may have made a terrible life decision. I don't feel any different, but uh ... you know that floor in the lighthouse with the creepy warning about wishes and making them? Yeah.

[yeah, he really went there. for the next 24 hours he's a cheap knock off of Peter Petrelli from Heroes]

Anyone wanna come help me figure out what my maybe-probably new super powers are?

What if I want average dude clothes?

[he absolutely doesn't, but he's kind of desperate for this whole super powers wish to amount to something]

[joker_wild]

[Akira tilts his head - and "powers down" back to his normal clothes.]

I think you would have to change?

You could change into average clothes and then see if you could call the spirit of rebellion to change your clothes back to those?

[That seems like a lot of work to end up right back where he is, but Akira is getting the idea that Wrench isn't so much worried about that kind of thing.]

[in_theworks]

Wanna help me find something boring?

[because, no, it's definitely not about the amount of work this may or may not end up taking]

[joker_wild]

[Akira lets out an amused huff - but nods.]

Sure. Someone probably has something you can borrow.

[Considering the company he normally keeps, he's honestly not worried about how ridiculous this is.]

[in_theworks]

Okay, c'mmon. We are absolutely fucking doing this.

[and then he'll just lead the way to -- probably the lighthouse. there's probably something there, right?]

[joker_wild]

[That's probably their best option, really, considering that's where everyone is - and where all their supplies are. It's not like they're not going to give the clothing back after they do this, anyway.]

[Akira follows him back to the lighthouse, heading for where he knows most of the supplies are being kept.]

I think there were some extra clothes in here.

[in_theworks]

[they head in and Wrench moves for a nearby crate, intent on starting his search there. it's not long before he comes up with a plain linen pair of pants and a matching shirt, and he holds them up for Akira to see]

Hey, look. Potato Sac Chic.

[joker_wild]

[Akira's expression says he agrees with Wrench's assessment of the clothing.]

That's definitely different from what you're wearing.

[It's much less pointy, for one.]

[in_theworks]

Okay, cool.

[that decided, he's just going to strip, minus the mask, apparently shameless as far as the rest of his body is concerned. he changes into the shirt and pants he found and -- well, despite the fact that it probably won't last long, he still makes a face (>_-)]

Man, I'm super glad I don't have to wear this shit regularly.

[a beat]

But anyway.

Ready?
