Hey, this is Freezeframe. Tempest gave us each access to the blog so we can keep in touch better, and record stories of our own. It's translating this for you, my english isn't really this good. I wanted to tell you about something that happened to me this morning.

I was at the bazaar, I'd agreed to meet Shockwave f0r some shopping, and I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see a figure in a large hood, their face obscured. 'You are Freezeframe?'

'I..how do you know that name?'

'You are Freezeframe?'

'Who are you? I don't know what you're on about.'

'You are Freezeframe. You are mine.'
'I...I really don't know what you're talking about?'
He went to grab me. I ran. I had the advantage, I've been dodging through crowded bazaars for years, but he merely threw people out of his way.
I ducked under a huge basket being carried by two women, down a side street hidden by a carpet, and knocked a snake barrel over as I shot past. The charmer yelled, but I didn't care. I had arrived at a stall selling old dvd's and some videos. Videos. I thought of the shop VHS had as a base. Even now, it was like they were sending me guidance and inspiration. I saw a poster by the stall, advertising an old spy film, with a smartly dressed man holding a gun. I pressed my hand against the poster. 'Come on, Dragon told you it can be done, you've worked on this, you can do it. Concentrate.'
The gun began to press out of the poster. Soon it was solid, and in my hand.
That was more draining than I thought it would be. I was about to stagger off, when I heard a quiet, carrying voice. 'You think that will protect you?'
There he was. Impossibly, he was in front of me. The crowded street paid us no attention. Everyone has their own problems. I was alone. I fired. As the bullet entered his hood, he laughed. A paper image of a bullet fluttered to the ground. 'You cannot stop me. You are mine.'

I ran again. 'Allah! If you are there, protect me!'
He was catching up. I suddenly had an idea. I turned to him and yelled 'Freeze!' thrusting a palm at him and throwing the full force of my power at him. He faltered. Then he sped up. He began to blur as he ran for me, and I quickly withdrew my power. It wasn't working. I eventually escaped by using it to freeze everyone else, making a wall of people that he couldn't move. My concentration slipped, and with my power at full the gun went off in my pocket. THAT bullet was real enough, just missed my leg, and tore a hole in my jeans.

I got back here, and did this. I would call the others for help, but checking my pocket I found the gun and half the remains of my mobile. The rest had fallen out of the hole. This place doesn't have one, and I can't go back outside. This is my only hope. Please, friends, save me!
What was that? A noise at the door! Sounds like it's burst open! I can hear him coming, he is nearly here! I must try to escape. Please VHS, protec

100!

100 posts! Wow, I can't believe it! It saddens me to think of everyone apart when we've got something to celebrate, however small. I wish we could all be together, but we're much safer apart.

Ragnarok's really missing VHS. He loved being part of a group of supers, and for such a short time! He asked about how the rest of VHS got powers, and was really interested about synthetic abilities. I can't stop this nagging feeling that he's going to go off and make his own or something. I just hope he stays safe. If he gets found out, then splitting up will have been for nothing.

I'm sure you've all seen on the news about that man that held those hostages at the bank with radiation. With that and more reports about Claire the medical marvel, the government is searching harder than ever for evolved humans. Some, like the bank robber, are relishing being out in the open, because people know about them. Others, like us, are hiding in plain sight, some have gone underground, and then there are those poor souls who don't even know they have abilities, and will manifest either publicly, and be caught instantly, or risk alienating scared friends or relatives. I'll do what I can, but it's a dark time for the human race.

Not alone?

I think there's another evolved human in some of my lectures. Maybe I'm not the only one that decided to hide in public? I don't know what it is about him, but he gives off this sort of slight buzz that I get from the others, but not from non-ability people. He gives off the feel of ability.
Worth investigating?

Oh, and Diffy's becoming troublesome. He swore when we let him stay that he wasn't going to give us away. He gets one chance. Just one.

Security risk.

In hindsight, maybe signing up for a course in computers when trying to hide my abilities wasn't the best idea......

Don't use TP, don't use TP, don't use TP, don't use TP, don't use TP..............wait, my phone's doing stuff......is it posting this? Did I just.....?
Damn!

Operation: in plain sight

I'll catch you up on how I escaped the fates tests, and what some of the others had to do, a bit later. Right now, all that you need to know is we're all safe.

We're initiating our emergency plan, 'Hide in plain sight'. Hiding hasn't gone so well, and it hasn't exactly kept us trouble free, so now we're trying a different way of vanishing: Getting on with our lives. I, Tempest Eastriver, officially disband VHS. Ragnarok's got year of college left, Pete's got a couple, Don, the girls, and tingle are all off to Universities up and down the country, Cleone's got a posh flat and a high paying job, the penfriends have all flown home, Blast is posing as Cecil's big sister and has got them a flat in London, Centaur has become human, against his wishes, (He's not good on two legs). He's bought himself a walking stick, and gone travelling. Tildy's gone back home too. Dragon has, what he calls 'gone to another plain' to keep an eye on everyone. Poor guy, he looks older than ever. He doesn't have immortality, just extended life through a variety of abilities. I worry about how much longer he has.

Which just leaves Playwrite, Diffy, and me.
We're all staying in the area. Playwrite's got a job, and I'm off to the local Uni. It's the one I was planning to go to anyway, before events took over, so now seems like a good time.

Diffy? Well, we can't send him back to school, not after all this. Me and Playwrite are looking after him.

So that's it. Life goes on. We'll keep in touch, but VHS is gone. Our best chance of survival at the moment is apart. Goodbye team, hello coursework.

But don't think this is the end. It's just the start of something new. Over and out.

iPhone: Beaming my thoughts to your screen.

So many colours! How long have I been wandering around this stupid maze of neon insanity? A while ago, I had no choice but to grab onto a blue orb while standing on a blue platform. I fell miles, and only a nearby yellow ball shooting past and a burst of air manipulation gave me a safe landing. Another second and I'd have gone straight through, and been swallowed by a whirling vortex below me.

I want to just stop, but I have to keep going, I have to get through this, for my friends. I need to find them, escape, and we can beat the fates once and for all. I will not be beaten!!!















Urgh. You can have my colour manipulation, fine, just let me out? I can't bear this place anymore!!!!



Worth a try.

Wandering

I hope this has enough reception to get through, I'm TP'ing it so it should have a boost.
I've lost track of how long I've been wandering through this 'pyramid', but it's been too long. I haven't felt, hungry, or thirsty, or sleepy, it seems the Fates want to keep me alive long enough to test me. The man at the beginning kept pushing towards the door, going on about how I had to choose three to take in with me, and how it was going to be tough. Well, the second part was right. I haven't got three anythings with me, so I'm completely alone, except for Hana, and she's not exactly useful fighting if need be. This feels really familiar, but from years ago, before villians took up all my time, back in the simpler days....
No, it's gone. I can't remember where this is from.
Having only TP at the moment, I've been careful to avoid any hazard I can, seeing as my phone is the only thing around I can actually use my ability on.
I think I know which power this place is holding though. The first maze I was in, it was raining. Then I found a sort of blue disk on the floor, and that took me to a different one, where it was really bright and sunny. I've had floors with snow, thunderstorm, wind, and hail. That floor hurt.
I can hardly see anything, only a little bit around me, and I keep seeing shadows pass by round corners, or just outside my clear range of vision. I keep hearing voices, in the distance, and they're all yelling things like 'Flamethrower!', or 'Thunderbolt!' and one time, I heard someone yell 'Explosion!' which was followed by a huge boom and the whole maze shaking. Clearly there are other people here with powers, fighting. If I had all my abilities, I might try to make contact, calm them down, form a group to team up and escape, but they sound far to dangerous to try and alm in my current condition. Anyway, they seem to be doing ok.
Oh yeah, there was a really weird thing that happened about three mazes ago. I was trying to get round a corner without being seen, and I heard a yell behind me. I ran, but a girl screamed 'After him!' and then a deep-throated sort of noise, that sounded like 'Reeeeeeeeee' started up. I ended up in a dead end, and turned to see something advancing in the shadows. It was still making the strange noise. Hana vanished in a wave of static, so I held out a hand and called 'Go away! I am in no condition to fight!'
Amazingly, it backed away, and actually said 'Goooone' as it backed off, to show it understood. Hana reappeared, and I bolted.

Isn't that weird? eurgh, this mist is really annoying me, and slowly soaking everything. The sooner I get of this floor- Yes! The blue pad! If this is getting through, this is a live plot development people! Let's go!

Woah, these always feel weird, like that time Damian teleported us. I SO prefer flying. Man I miss my forcefields.

Aha! Right, where have I landed now? More sunlight, real sunlight, I'm outside! Wow, fresh air at last! There's a stepped slope behind me, really steep, of course, the pyramid! I must have reached the top? The sunlight gets too bright at the edges to see the view, damn! It would be good to know where I am.

Oh, hello. Hiker bloke is wandering over to me. How did he get to the top? I bet he didn't have to trek forever through dark mazes. Oh? He says I haven't quite finished? Aww! But I'm at the top? Quick, punch him from behind while he gestures at something. Oh, ok, apparently I have to go to the top of these steps, where something is waiting for me. It better me my power!

Up we go, ah, sunlight in my eyes! Silhouettes, four, three stationary, one bobbing up and down, small, and apparently sitting on a tiny cloud?

The three stationary ones, two look a bit like obelisks with limbs, and one looks rounder, with a thin waist.

Oh God. I've been a fool. It's so obvious. What would Ragnarok say if he could see me now?
I had a doctor who test, I should have been expecting more stuff dragged from my head. This is the battle pyramid from Pokémon. The three standings creatures are the Regi family, that you have to get past to win it, and the thing on a cloud with a head like the sun was a castform, no doubt there for it's connection to the weather. It, surely it's guarding my power.

Back in a moment, I hope. I need to focus.

Back. Sorry about all the garble that may have come through, stray TP stuff may have messed with my phone.

I stared at Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, and found a grin spreading over my face. The Fates should have been more careful. They had clearly just pulled a bunch of things from my mind and twisted them into weird worlds to try and torment me with, without paying close enough attention to each. I kept staring at Registeel. I only had TP back, but the Fates had just handed me a robot.

I gestured a hand at it, directing it to the other two. Frantically casting my mind back to when I last got a chance to play, I realized I had the type advantage in my favour. Steel was good against rock and ice. I scanned his memory for his attacks.
'Registeel! Metal Claw!'
Both metallic arms glowing, it slammed into the other Regi's, impaling one on each arm. Leaving them both on the ground, we approached Castform, who was in it's fire form. Fire against steel. Not good. it launched a jet of flame at Registeel, who reeled, arms pinwheeling, looking weak. I made it use superpower, a rock move. It was effective, but another jet of flame looked like the end for my side. I suddenly thought of Regirock. I made Registeel through it AT castform. A strong rock move if ever there was one.

With Castform unconscious, a small cloud drifted up from it. It was very small, had a little lightning bolt coming down from it at an angle, and was revolving as it rose into the air. I grabbed it, and felt a ripple through my body. A wind stirred up my cloak behind me, knowledge of atmospheric pressures and degrees of heat around me filled my head, and lightning flickered at my fingertips. The hiker bloke was just saying 'Congratulations! We have a new battle pyramid Champ-' when a large block of stone I was standing on fell, tumbling me into a square hole, and black enveloped me.

And now I'm falling. A loooooooooooooooong way, apparently. you're all caught up on events.
Hang on, faint light below. Green. Big gust of air, and, hurrah! Safe landing!

The floor, and three walls are green. The ceiling has closed up, and that's green too. Ahead of me there's a blue path, across blackness, with the odd point of light dotted around. It looks like space, but I can breath. On the blue path there's a little green ball of light, hovering in the air. There seems to be a ghostly platform past it, it should be red but it's transparent.
My cloak is now red.

Another ability already?

Lets just grab it and- oh, ok, my cloak has turned green, the room I was in has gone all transparent, and the red platform is now solid. I think I'm beginning to get the idea. I think I'm playing for my colour manipulation ability.

Anyway, this is getting long, and I think I might need to concentrate on this, so I'll talk to you later. If this gets through at all that is. Ah well, whatever happens, I'm going now. I hope this reaches the blog, and I'll update again soon!
