first wind; video

[agains]

[ The video feed is shaky, as the holder of the bracelet is currently floating in the sky. Faintly, over the sound of a jetpack, he yells: ]

Hello, fellow Moonblessed! My name is Sky High, and I am called Sky High! Should anyone require assistance launching their lanterns from the highest place, or require help getting up high enough, I will be waiting by the hill to help out.

[A person with the capability of flight. Interesting. Whether manufactured or supernatural, her previous clash with a flying opponent left her feeling as if her performance was beyond unacceptable. She doesn't need help with those foolish lanterns, but she has no reservations responding to see if he's receptive to potential stabbings. Sorry, Keith.]

Would I be correct in assuming that you hold some measure of aerial combat capabilities?

[Video]

[agains]

Toh! [ He forms a gust of wind between his hands and lets it loose. ] You would be correct, and you would be right! However, I only use these abilities to fight injustice.

[Winter gives her head a small shake.]

Your intentions are not being called into question. To be direct, I am unsatisfied with my performance against a foe who was also able to fly as you do. I would test myself against one who holds a high degree of skill.

Are you amenable to such an arrangement?

[Video]

[agains]

So long as you do not mind that I remain in costume and keep my identity concealed, I would be honored to have a practice match against such a dedicated opponent. Are there other wind-users here to be wary of, and to steer clear of?

What kind of name is Sky High?

[Not even the weirdest name she's ever heard, but alright.]

video

[agains]

It is a Hero's name, of course, and the name I go by! My comrades include Wild Tiger, Barnaby Brooks Junior, Blue Rose, Rock Bison, Fire Emblem, Dragon Kid, and Origami Cyclone. [ He thinks for a moment. ] And that is to speak nothing of the second league Heroes who have been joining our show.

[pidgeypidge]

You know what? Why not? I've probably heard stranger names.

[When one's best friend is named Hunk, it seems a little silly to be overly judgmental about this kind of thing. And now that she's thinking about it, she's still not even sure if that's a nickname or not.]

[agains]

You find something strange about any of these names? Our sponsors say they tested well among audiences.

[pidgeypidge]

Maybe not strange, but they sound more like fictional characters than actual names? [There's a pause, and then:]

Your sponsors?

[agains]

[ He twists and turns, trying to show off the various parts of his suit -- UStream written on his chest and the Tamashii Nations logo near his wrists in particular. ]

Heroes in my world uphold the law with support from businesses and corporations. We must maintain that fictional identity in order to hide our true faces from the public. You have never heard of HeroTV?

[witchwithoutacause]

Oh yeah?

[ Well heck with you, there's ANOTHER video with someone flying, without the sound of any machinery. ]

I bet I can give 'em a more comfortable ride.

[agains]

[ If only you could see him squinting at the video through his helmet. As it is, he brings his bracelet closer to his face, as if that will somehow enhance the image and tell him how she's flying. ]

Another aerial ace! How splendid!

[witchwithoutacause]

[ She's keeping the angle a little obscured for that very reason. ]

I guess there's a few of us around here, huh?

video

[agains]

You are the first I've met. If there are more, I should love to get acquainted. [ He looks around, clueless but cautious. ] I am a NEXT; I possess the power to manipulate wind. Are you the same?

video

[witchwithoutacause]

I'm sure you'll find someone else sooner or later.

[ There's like, a guy who flies on his sword or something? ]

Can't say I know what a NEXT is. I'm a witch.

audio.

[penpoint]

So you have a superpower, then?

audio.

[agains]

Wind manipulation, and the power to manipulate wind!

[ and the power of reiteration, too ]

audio.

[penpoint]

[ See...now he's going to mess with him a little. ]

So, you can manipulate wind, then?

audio.

[agains]

[ He sounds genuinely worried that this other guy may have gotten the wrong idea because he's... just... (shakes head) ]

Yes, had I not made that clear? Wind manipulation is the power I possess.

audio.

[penpoint]

Interesting. Were you born with your Wind Manipulation, or was it given to you by otherwise questionable means?

[piercedyourheart]

Isn't it a little dangerous to talk while driving?

audio;

[agains]

Thank you for your concern, and thank you again, but I can speak as I steer.

audio;

[piercedyourheart]

So your superpowers include flying and being a competent driver. Nice.

audio;

[agains]

On the contrary, miss! I can only float unless I am using this jetpack to propel myself further.

audio;

[piercedyourheart]

Hm...then your jetpack enhances the powers you already have?
