A reset world.

Just a short one for now I'm afraid, but I want to keep you up to date.

We're calling the whole 'circle of power that restored the world to it's previously un-buggered condition' thing the 'reset', because, well, that's basically what it was. The world is 97% how it was because HG took over, so only minor damage remains.

It has had some side effects though. The reset was really draining for all of us involved. I tried to take the brunt of the attack, but it means some of my abilities have been weakened. I can't fly us around by forcefield anymore. I can levitate myself a few inches off the ground with a forcefield, and make fairly long force ribbons that everyone can walk on, but proper flight is beyond me, for now anyway.

I don't know if it's because of the reset, or if Future me just stole it or what, but my black hole power seems to be gone too. My phasing also seems to be almost completely drained, if I really concentrate I can still just about manage it, but more than an arm and I feel really ill.

Healthbar's concentrated sunbeam has lost some strength, and her healing has slowed. I don't think she'll be able to resurrect anyone for a while. Everyone else is basically ok, just a little worn out.

That's about it for now, I'll update again soon.

Oh! Forgot to say, we've had a couple of ideas about the volcano of lost souls. Hopefully something will come up, because we have a plan. It's our duty. We owe them.

We're getting SOLAR back.

Silent Night (Again)

Hey, hope everyone had a good christmas and new year. Given the condition the world was in last year, I hope it was at least better than that one.

Anyway, we've had to adjust to our new 'status' as 'celebrities'. There was the inevitable kidnap attempt of family, with three thugs attempting to take Doolittle's family hostage. We'd been doing an interveiw at the same time, so we brought a camera along and televised the resulting battle. Within three minutes, one was a gibbering wreck, one was suffering burns and being mauled by a tiger, and one was, well, Blackmage sort of....accidentally turn him into a frog. He's still getting to grips with his power, but it was freaking cool. 'I trust this message is understood?'

Yeah, no trouble since then. :)

We recently had a spot of bother with a basic flaw of human nature. As a race, we have a tendency to panic when stuff we can't handle happens. HG, and our mass fixing of the world's  'injuries' fall into this category, so naturally, people started rioting.I suggested Broadcast and Jingle try a combined attack, as they both have abilities that can stir emotions, and, well, tis the season......

On the roof of the base, Broadcast and Jingle looked out at the city. Flurries of snow began to float gently down, and music filled the air. They clasped hands and began to sing.

'Silent night, do not fight,

 All be calm, all be bright,

 Round the world people have gone wild,

Calm your tempers, be tender and mild'

Rest and be at peace, 

Let this madness cease.'

The city ground to a halt as a calming blanket of snow covered it, and the beautiful, soothing melody rang out, sending everyone drifting off into the land of nod. I beamed it out across the radiowaves, and chaos up and down the counrty faded into quiet, restorative sleep.

Merry Christmas everyone.
