Around
[On a fine Friday morning, Slugger stands at the top of his driveway overlooking the perfect yard and perfect street in this perfect 1950s "utopia", and knows that this reality was born of someone else's delusional madness. He yawns. Well, better find some way to kill the time. Not looking back at the house on Anderson Lane, he rolls down the driveway on golden rollerblades and into the street, carrying his warped baseball bat at his side. Some of the drones, recognizing him as their paperboy, smile and wave at him as he passes. He either ignores them or waves back in a ridiculous parody of cheer. He's pretty sure he's killed a few of them at least a dozen times.

Today, Slugger decides he may as well try and find a place in Mayfield he's never been to before and grace it with his deplorable presence. One may spot him skating aimlessly around downtown Mayfield for a short time until he seems to hit on a more specific destination...]


Jacques' Roller Rink 
[The worn, wooden floors make for a relatively smooth skating surface. Slugger can be seen skating forwards, backwards, and sideways on the rink with surprising dexterity. He can also be seen swerving in front of drones and causing "accidents" in the rink. For his amusement, he's made a game of seeing how many people he can trip and knock over at a time. Clearly, he's a menace to society.]

[Charles may have a point. It's no fun if the head is just sitting there all day. He raises his bat.]

We could play ball with it.

I haven't a bat of my own, is there a spare I might borrow from you? If not, I'll borrow one from a drone. [it'd be a two-in-one deal, even! baseball bat and a free snack, good plan.]

Steal one.

[It's what he would do.]

...Is the one who killed you powerful?

[encored]

I haven't a need to steal, borrowing is good enough. [even if it will likely never be returned, but that's totally not the same as stealing!]

I can't speak for his full strength or how well he would fare if all powers were restored, I can only say that he wouldn't be much of a match at all with only one regain. I'm considering waiting a while longer so it would be a fight worth my time.
