Interested! a spin-off Titanium Lad would be cool for my tastes.
Then Monday I'm up at the ass crack of dawn and then on a plane.

May the weather/transit be in your favor!
JJ


The last thing JJ remembered was sprinting to safety. Now a lump of dissary was he as he lay crumbled on the ground. His brow half-bleeding, his wrists sore from stalling his fall, and his wits more scrambled than an egg. what the fuuuu... he internally muttered through clenched teeth before realizing people were speaking. Speaking! He was at a delinquency program, and something had happened. It all came back to him as he sat straight up in a flushed rush. Beads of sweat started at his nape, real danger and its consequences always brought a rise out of him. He hadn't managed to reply to Henry's, or Tony's check-in through his grog. Hell, he was still staring at his extremities and doing a quick one-two to make sure he still functioned as intended. But as others around him also woke and spoke, he too felt words building to bubble out.

The electric tumble frazzled his hair, and there was an exploded lighter in his chest pocket. Well, what was left of a pocket. His head rang like a bell too. That brought his mind toward the more socially primal questions. His new tribe had just faced their first adversity, might need to check on the rest of the jungle. He caught something from his fellows near the main group, "At lea... Sky. How....you feeling?"

"His poor hair." mumbled the misfit as humor started its way back into his psyche. "We're alive... but we'll be okay." Henry answered through JJ's concussed state. "...don't think any of us ...painting, especially her." That sobered up his joking pretty quickly, as he internally ran the roladex of the group for names and faces. Prince and his skate friend seemed whole, "Anyone notice how he was spasming?" he even mentioned through JJ's haze, which had shut out Tony's talk. Oh right, they had an overseer. So did Henry and his fab mate, but how was his new buddy? "Hey Ax. Aksel? You good dude?" he fumbled and staggered upright trying to spot a familiar face in this uncertainty as he looked up at the sky like it might just fall on them. Again.

How is everyone doing? Checkin in
Stoke the fire, watch it burn 🔥

But forreal, JJ is a goof at heart if you havnt noticed, didn't want the atypical angry pyro. The group at large might squabble but thats ok, I see ties forming.
Yeah. Then I'll do another Tony post telling everyone to go home early today and have Henry invite everyone to the bar to drink this off end properly introduce themselves.


It's gonna take a few Capt's n cokes to fix this manic panic
JJ


“Have you met her yet?” Aksel said quietly, before continuing.
“She seems like she’s on her own, too...”

"Mate, arn't we all. Arn't we all." JJ drifted off as he heard a squabble from some of the fellow delinquents. That shift quickly lead into their new overlords return, which made JJ shrink in disfavor. Much like Prince the sudden authority made him balk in silence. Granted, when you've been told off most of your years you tend to let it ride its course until you can manage a response, and he was just about to rattle off a zinger to maybe keep the mood chipper when nature's own icebreaker took out Tony's car. Another chunk fell from the heavens and splashed him adding to the disarray. Then the dumpster exploded likewise near them. Shouts of a storm and curses ablaze flowed freely, especially from JJ as this was not part of his plan. He took a gander of the situation and his feral instinct to run almost took over.

When Tony told them to move he did so quickly cussing the whole way.
"What in the fuck? Like really, fuckin boosting rides got me paintin' benches and now this shite!" rattled off the young man as he heard the argumentive fellow tell them to follow their car-less master now. JJ snorted at the absurdity of this new turn of events and nervously giggled, to his new friend, "Maybe we're not on our own, but we will be if we stay here!"

The soft smirk he gave Aksel as he sprinted towards seemingly safety was the last thing he could remember as blinding white took over.
