<Major repression. Major. He just doesn't know how to handle bad things. None of them do, really.>

<As long as plot dictates, of course. I'd have thought you of all people would've known that.>

<I dunno. It may be a sense of protection in that he didn't want me doing to anyone in my universe what he'd inevitably do in his? Maybe he's just angry at himself and I was the closest available 'mirror', so to speak.
Guess I'll never know; I'm certainly not asking him again.>

NAME: ALAN RICKTERSVINKSONTERNIKBIK
GENDER: MALE
AGE: 34 AND PROUD
APPEARANCE: HE'S A CHUBBY GUY WITH STRAWBERRY BLONDE HAIR, A VERY SCRAGGLY BEARD, AND THREE PAIRS OF SUNGLASSES. HE'S WEARING A TRENCH COAT, OVERALLS, AND A PATCHWORK T-SHIRT MADE UP OF MULTIPLE OTHER T-SHIRTS. HE SMELLS VERY BAD.
POWER: THIS MAGNIFICENT MAN CAN FIRE A STREAM OF ANY HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES THAT HE CONCENTRATES ON OUT OF HIS HANDS, AS WELL AS KNOWING HOW TO USE THOSE ITEMS FOR JUST ABOUT ANY PURPOSE.
HOW HE GOT THIS POWER: HE SOMEHOW GOT STUCK IN A DVD STORE FILLED WITH ONLY SELF HELP DVDS FOR 7 YEARS. BY THE TIME HE GOT OUT, HE'D WATCHED SO MANY HE HAD SUPERPOWERS SOMEHOW.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE IS VERY UNFIT. TO PUT IT BLUNTLY, HE'S FAT AND LAZY AND ARROGANT. ALSO A MANCHILD WHO OCCASIONALLY EMOTIONALLY BREAKS DOWN AND STARTS CRYING FOR NO REASON AT ALL. HE EASES HIS TEARS WITH ICE CREAM, EXACERBATING HIS FATNESS IN THE PROCESS.

>Probably.

And it escapes me how Darnos still even goes to this school when even the Headmistress has probably figured out he's not a kid and at the best of times, willing to do that for shits and giggles.<

<She knew who I was the moment I walked in the door. I used to go there, after all. She knows I won't actually kill anybody, however, or at least no students, and they need the manpower against the shadow things coming up from the core. They also know that I've no intention of giving them any service beyond a single job as payment for the teaching at the Academy, but that's another issue. After a little while longer, I'll be strong enough to leave the Academy for good and start playing in the sandbox I call the world once more.
I just have to learn how to soulswap in case my body gets killed. I may be biologically immortal now, but it pays to have insurance.>

<Would be a good chance to test out your magic... come to think of it, if you can accelerate entropy at such a rate where heat-death occurs, have you considered using that same magic to rapidly reverse it? So tat the quantity of usable energy increases so that there's supercooled matter right next to superheated matter? That seems like something that could be rather spectacular...>

<Know what? When I get back from this holiday I'll try that out.>

<Nah. Right now I feel very primal. I just want to cast off the veneer of civility I adopt around the students for their own sake and just ... hunt.>

<Yeah, I'd almost pity them if I was capable.>

We were also technically priests.
