[ There is a naked, brightly glowing blue man standing a short distance away from where his comm device is holding steady in the air. He’s hardly bothered by the fact that he’s naked... nor does he look as if he’s bothered by, well, much of anything. ]
It has become clear to me that, while I am entirely capable of moving my own matter both through time and space, I have been moved into a plane that has hindered this ability. I have found that i’m unable to manipulate my own particles to the extent that I have become accustomed to. It seems that this is not true in all instances, however. [ His tone indicates a shrug might go here, but he doesn’t move an inch. ] I was not able to foresee this event, likely a cause of whatever is altering my intrinsic field.
[ Jon almost sighs, almost looks dejected, but mostly looks nothing too terribly different. ]
While I am aware that this is possible, I have yet to understand exactly how it’s occurring. Once I have, however, I intend to stop it. I have begun research in the science department for this reason only. [ Still as blase as ever. ]
I am curious, however, as to how this plane affects the atoms of others. It can only serve to further advance my own research if I understand how other particles have proven to react in such a place. [ He tips his head slightly, curiously, and then proceeds to wait for his answers. ]

You're not the only one who's had their abilities tampered with. I think most of us are feeling a little restricted.

What restrictions have you encountered?
oops encrypted 80%, the whole thing, raven's hiding shhh
The biggest difference is the control I have over my shapeshifting, which is sort of my main.. ability. It's harder to hold a form that isn't my own for more than a few hours at a time here, while at home I could stay hidden for days.

What are you capable of shapeshifting into?

[ but really that's not as interesting as- ]
You're a teleporter-? And you have foresight. That means you can see the future, right?

I can only see my own future, my own past- simultaneously. Time has become nothing but a concept. Though I am capable of viewing the lives of those that come into my own, my own is the clearest.

[ then again, she knows by now that not everyone calls those with abilities 'mutants', so she's quick to correct herself ]
Not that I'm assuming you're a mutant. Unless your abilities are genetic? And your blue form, too. Is it all connected?

[ he's never heard that term before, and considering most of the men he knows to be superhero's have no inhuman powers, the idea is oddly foreign. and yet still intriguing. especially since he finds no relation to most of the men he was once categorized alongside of. ]
My abilities developed after an accident in a facility I once worked in. My intrinsic field was removed, yet I was able to reassemble myself over a short span of time. I have since been able to control all matter on an atomic level.

Oh, um. I'd say sorry about the accident, but I'd say it worked out pretty okay.
By mutant I mean.. well, literally mutants. From my world, people with abilities can do what we do because of a genetic mutation. My brother calls it an X-gene. Apparently it's a step forward in human evolution.

Though I am familiar with a man who claims to be the smartest man in the world, he possess no inhuman abilities.

Are you considered to be something of a celebrity? Or are you feared as much as you are appreciated?
encrypted 80%
Oh, gosh, no. We're all in hiding, for the most part. It was only very recently that we finally came out as public, and the Navy... tried to bomb the island we were on. It's a long story. But, they fear us. They blame us for the threat of World War III, even though we were the ones that stopped it.

It is 1985, on my Earth, though for me, 1962 is just as real. Just as present.
