[Sam's a little more used to the devices now, so when the video starts, his face is a normal distance away from this time. He waves and gives an awkward kind of half smile, rubbing at the back of his neck.]

Hey. I'm Sam. I just got here a couple weeks ago. You've probably seen me around. I deliver for SuperWaiters. Uh, what else.

I'm from Earth? America, but maybe a different America from yours. From the East Coast, mostly. I was a delivery person there, too, so I traveled a lot.

[There are some small, sleepy noises in the background and Sam murmurs Oh she's up before swinging the camera around to show a pod with a baby in it, carefully nestled into the crate with blankets]


That's Lou. She's my little girl. She uh, she's a preemie. The pod helps her.

Anyway. [He clears his throat and brings the camera back to him, waving again] I'll probably see you around town.

Comments

[greatdeliverer]

Not really, actually. They just look how they look. I stopped minding them a while ago.

What about you? You said you had some medical knowledge I know, but I don't count that as a super power.

[iseegoblins]

That's cool that it doesn't hurt.

I got the knowledge because of my powers, so I guess it kinda counts. [ She looks just a bit awkward and rubs the back of her her neck. ] The shortest explanation is that I'm telekinetic and telepathic.

[greatdeliverer]

Telepathic, huh? That's gotta be useful. Or -- terrifying, depending on whose mind you look into.

[iseegoblins]

Bit of both. When it first manifested I couldn't control it at all. I just...constantly heard everything from everyone all around me. That was pretty terrifying. Now, I can mostly control it, but it also means I don't get many birthday surprises.

[greatdeliverer]

At least you can control it, now. I know people who can control their DOOMs, do amazing things with them. But I'm not that high level.

[iseegoblins]

Sometimes I have a problem with it and some other aspects. It's a lot easier now though. [ She shrugs a bit sheepishly. ] If you ever want some help trying to learn more about your abilities, maybe I could help? I kinda worked for a school that did that.

[greatdeliverer]

[He shoots her some awkward finger guns] That'd be great, actually. We could meet up some time. Talk about -- being mutants.

[iseegoblins]

[ She laughs. ] I'd like that. As long as you don't do that again.

[greatdeliverer]

[Sam laughs a little and flashes her a peace sign] That better?

[iseegoblins]

[ she holds her fingers together in a pinching motion ] Little bit. But I can live with it.
