And now I am goddamned starving to death. I blame YOU.
Also, @Jefe was in a band as a youth? I think that explains rather nicely some of his political opinions. #jealous #playmesomecure

Iām getting some serious Walter White vibes from Maurice.
Also, apparently the Boom Sickle counts as a shotgun? Just got, āget second winds with shotgunsā while using one.
Number 3 on the list of things most often said to Paulothead isā¦
Number 2: āI donāt usually like beer, but that stuff you made is the tits.ā
And Number 1 isā¦ (drumroll and fanfare)
āI think so Paulo, but how are we going to get culottes on an enraged, rabid badger?ā

Would it help to say I was a better arranger than composer? A control freak even as a youth 
I protest! Never jealous!
Envy is the word youāre looking for 
Ew. I mean shoegazers and mopetards. Not my scene.

UB40? T-Rex? Ian Durie and the Blockheads?

Yes yes and a late yes.
I donāt think there was much of Ian Dury in Canada at the time. No idea when I first heard them.
I was big into UB40 when I was 10? 12?
My sister was into all things that could possibly intersect with David Bowie, so T-Rex was in regular rotation when I was 6+ y/o.
I never got The Cure. Maybe it was because there were a ton of goths in high school (80ās) and Robert Smith seemed to be their poster boy. So it seemed another āimageā band.
Siouxsie and the Banshees though? They could tear it up.

Oh yeah, great band. BTW did you get the significance of UB40? It was the thing you had to fill out every 2 weeks to collect your UK equivalent of EI. A lot of bands (and students!) owed their careers to funding via UB40ā¦

I do remember that. Something like Unemployment Benefit form #40, right?

Yup. Thatās the one. Fun fact: in the 1980s something like 90% of all PhDās were funded in the final stages by UB40. What a generous and enlightened band!

If you could have any low key superpower, what would it be?

Invisibility.
So I can sneak into secret places and listen in on interesting conversations.

Perfect health?
Depends on how you define low key really.

You can aim higher than that. None of like the super high tier stuff like reality control, super/speed str or anything, at least without major limitations.
Just like something superhuman that makes your life easier. Iāll allow @tracer 's invisibility for instance, but with a ridiculous modifier like āas long as you can hold your breathā.
āTelekinesis but it only affects objects less than 5 pounds that are within 10 feet of you.ā
āTeleportation but only within 10 feet.ā
āFlying, but you move at normal speed just 4 feet over the groundā.
If you want to go the super low end round, any weird effect is nice. I read on tvtropes once about some weirdo show that had people with very low tier powers using them in stupid ways. Like one of them was named āKeepsiesā and their power was that no one could ever steal stuff from them. Ever. The god tier move there was when she told a villain to āstop breating her airā.
āStreet levelā powers are also legal, like luke cage/daredevil etc.

I meanā¦ Iād rate perfect health way better than that stuff? If youāre letting me pick something like shape shifting I might change my mind. Still, if youāre just looking for other thoughts then Iāve always had an odd appreciation for powers that tell you things. The ability to locate things, or information about the potential results of your actions. That type of thing struck me as easily abuse able.

Thatād be a great one, honestly - āIf you can think of any object youāve seen within a mile, you know exactly where it is.ā Great normal day to day utility.
The other is borderline divination magic. Iām thinking something like that DnD spell thatās kind of like an enchanted magic 8 ball - only gives āyes, no, or unclearā answers to questions.
Iād allow shape changing, again with a weird caveat. Something like āyou can only turn into objects or creatures you have seen smaller than a breadbasketā.

Yeah, no. Perfect health is way better than that kind of shape shifting.
As for the other two, yeah the second one is crazily powerful for such a thing. And I didnāt intend limits to the first. Itād still be useful even with limits that severe, but nowhere near as utterly insane.

Well you can come up with your own limiters 
Personally Iāve always been a big fan of the 5 pound telekinesis thing. Would make hangovers a cinch.
I like it. Seems like a quick way to get super pruny though.

Honestly, any kind of shape shifting that lets me do things like bootstrap myself into post-humanity is borderline auto-pick for me. Even within something like only being able to change within the limits of humanity, or with full understanding of the changes would probably be a pick. The second is kind of debatable, since itād ruin some of the healing potential due to poor understanding of certain issues. Iād have to think on that.
Edit: Somehow missed the āyouāve seenā limit to locating things you suggested above. With that itās not very practical. I could still use it, but Iād have to be trying. Thereās just not a lot of real call.
