Am getting shocked by every available metal surface in the office. All day long and repeatedly.

What the hell, static electricity. Why are you out to get me?

This better, like, give me super powers or something.

Okay, that sucks, but it's a little bit funny XD;;;;

Would your superpower be mighty static cling? Or would you shoot tiny shocks out of your hands?

Oh! Oh! You could control clothing! Everyone would have socks sticking to their shirts and pants! The horror!

:D I'm getting flashes of "Office Space" and you going to down on your desk with a dead fish.

It would! Think of the scandal you could cause! Or! You could play matchmaker at laundrymats. How did that person's underwear get onto my jeans!? I don't know, but hey! A number~ My days of washing laundry alone are over! Thank you random static cling!


....


I think I'm losing my mind, Sheepy. o_O

*pats* It's okay, it's Friday. You get to go home and rest.

(I can't see myself doing that, if only because I'd probably put my efforts less towards matchmaking and more towards evil. Or at least annoyance.)

Friday! Glorious Friday! That most amazing of days! *nances around in it*

(See, I"m also thinking your costume would do the 'wooosh transformation' thing, but with the power of static cling and random bits of fabric! What do you think?)

Fantastic.

And clearly your rival is a nudist. They hate you and all the clothing you stand for!

There's a brief interlude where you date each other unknowingly for a while (a la 60's silver age crack or the Catwoman movie*), but it comes crashing to a halt when you spot his mole!




*Seriously, she's my girlfriend, I've slept with her and I'm a detective. Who is that half naked chick with a whip? o_O

Is my rival the same as Personal Space Man's?

... I'm glad I never saw that movie.

No. That's the Hugginator. Never lets go and with a grip like a vice on steriods.

Me too! Only heard about it, but even that's enough.

The question is, what sort of superpowers are you expecting to get? I mean, what if summoning static electricity IS your super power?

It may be worth considering. :|b

I would TOTALLY want that superpower. I could use it on annoyingly stupid people - you know, the type that you wouldn't want to wish actual harm on? But it'd be awesome if you could seriously irritate them? XD

Ooooooo, good point. And static electricity is so mundane, no one would ever even suspect you!

--unless. You know. What's actually happening here is that someone ELSE has that superpower and is using it on you. GASP! What a twist!

If this were a movie, it would turn out to be the really innocuous, you-forget-this-person-is-even-there type, who is slowly attempting to hone their powers so that someday! SOMEDAY! they might! take over! THE WORLD!

Or at least your office.

It's either that or you're subconsciously doing it to yourself.

It would be an instant blockbuster smash hit! Everyone would be so fascinated by the twist -- and they'd rewatch the movie over and over to see if they can pick up foreshadowing! Was there something wrong with your dialogue with coworker Y on Monday? Was it the strange dream you had Wednesday! Or was it your identical twin who died at birth but was still there, lurking in your subcons--

Wait.

8Db?

That means it'll definitely succeed as a cult hit! You'd be rich and semi-famous! 8D

Hey -- people have become more famous for less!

As soon as it's artistic, things like that become "meaningful." :|b

So what you're saying is, we'd have to shoot the movie in black and white, and have a bunch of artistic shots of me bemoaning my spark-ridden life. XD

on the upside you are not alone in your super power, I'm pretty sure the coppy machine was out to get me.

Ooh, vengeful office machines. Nasty, those.

(But what would your super power be? Would you team up against the copy machine with the copy machine's mortal enemy? Like, the water cooler?)
