02?. [Action/Text - Fourth Wall]
[Kimblee has just kind of accepted this sort of thing, regarding those odd weekends where, for some completely arbitrary reason, everything is beautiful and nothing hurts (assuming that no one happens to get in the way of the explosions he's usually laying down); however, this time around he hasn't seen Archer all weekend, he's been unbelievably agitated for some reason he can't work out, and about the only saving grace is that he seems to have awakened in the Lake of Rage area today.
He can't say he minds.
He's got his gloves off today, if anyone is in the immediate area through either intent or chance; surprisingly, he isn't transmuting...obviously, though what he's doing makes it rather clear that something's going on before too long - he's never been any sort of particular genius when it comes to chemistry, but he knows certain things when he sees them, and he's currently picking up rocks along the shore, appearing to assess them as he holds them before a flash of blue fires off and he throws the result into the water.
It's surprisingly easy to get a good transference going, to get sodium out of the rocks by the waterfront; of course, sodium in water is known to make one hell of a bang. Admittedly, it's not a very aesthetically pleasing bang, but he's working on it, okay.
Of course, there are some other signs in the area that his activities haven't been quite so docile (if blowing up the surface of a lake filled with terrifying sea serpents can be considered docile); there are some rather impressive swaths cut into the ground by what look like something ripping it all up from within. However, for the time being he seems pretty content to be bored, seeming to have calmed down from the earlier...fit that caused all that; he'll be having at the whole sodium thing for a while tonight.
Granted, for those not in the area, he'll be showing up over the device later - not via video, but via text, as per usual.]
I trust you've all been enjoying playing with your toys. Some of my most prized ones weren't returned to me this time around; I'm assuming this means they're still in the region somewhere.
I imagine I'll find them eventually.
However, for the time being I find that I really can't complain; the most relevant part of what I can do is functional again, and if I had to select between having my abilities with no enhancements and no abilities at all, choosing the latter to spite the former would be tantamount to solving the problem of a low doorway by cutting off my head.
Indulge me in my curiosity, however: were things like this weekend to be something controllable, something you could do at will, what would you bring here and what sort of abilities would you retain from you world - given power like this on a regular basis, what would you do with it?

I’d say so. One minute I’m minding my own business and the next here. Seems like I'm not the only one it's happened to.
[Coincidentally, Firefly’s only aware of one Commander and he’s definitely um,…interesting.]
Not that it's any of my business, but what kind of work did you do for this guy?
[Video]
Sometimes it was keeping an eye on those who needed an eye kept on them; other times it was providing weapons, in the form of things similar to those...ah, creatures you have there. We collaborated on a few things, as far as planning went.
Once in a while, however, he had me working on...I suppose you could call it demolition. I'm a soldier, you see; I specialize in explosives. I started out here with one of those things you're wiring up, actually, they make quite the satisfying noise when set off.
[Video]
Done a bit of that myself for the Commander I know. Done some surveillance too. Prefer the former though. Making things go boom’s a hobby of mine, but if Cobra Commander tells me to wait, then well, orders are orders. Being a soldier, I’m sure you know all about that.
Thanks for the tip though. I'll be sure to put that to good use.
[Video]
[Well, that certainly got his attention in short order.]
You're in luck, then; he's the one I've been employed by, of late - he's definitely here, though I can't say I know where he's gone, exactly.
[Probably best to not tell you that your fearless leader's had a habit of ending up in jail lately; not exactly the best for boosting morale.]
That said, however - what's your favored method? Regarding, ah..."making things go boom", as you put it.
[Video]
Sure he’ll turn up somewhere. Always does.
[As to his preferred method, well, if Kimblee’s working for the Commander, there’s really no harm done in showing him. He’ll pull a small sphere off his belt, hit a button on it, and show Kimblee one of the mechanical fireflies inside.]
Preferred method’s these. Not only do they make a hell of an explosion, but they get past any perimeter defenses easily. Guards are too busy looking for human intruders, never think to check the bugs.
[Video]
Today is not that day.
However, he does seem to realize that he's being a little simplistic about it and straightens it out quickly enough, promptly acting like that didn't just happen, thank you very much.]
That is fascinating - and you say you're able to get a decently sized explosion out of that?
[Huh.]
Consider me impressed.
[Video]
[Pointing back to the Electrode.]
Doesn’t pan out. Even if it does, might still set it up. But since I’ve answered your question, what’s your method of choice?
[Looking at Kimblee, he’s not really sure what to go with here. Doesn’t really look like a grenade guy to Firefly. C-4 maybe?]
