6th Run: List [Wondrous Bolt Message] [main message open but replies switched to private by default]

[selfmadespeedster]

[Cloudsdale and Ponyville's local speedster masked hero appears on the scrolls with a message for all. There is a wall behind him but it is blank.]

This is the Wondrous Bolt. I'm a masked hero who has been fighting crime in Cloudsdale for the past year.

After witnessing the events during Calice's last appearance I have one thing to say: we need to work together if we're going to stand a chance.

I can't say how powerful Calice is or if it is possible to fight her head on, but I do know that I'm not the only one here who wants to protect those who can't protect themselves. I know a few ponies are attempting to work together but let's be honest with ourselves, that last confrontation was overall sloppy. If we can get more organized, if we can work together as a larger team making the most of each individual's abilities, then I believe it will open up more opportunities for us to collect information on Calice. I also know that if we work together, we'll do a lot better keeping others safe.

Calice doesn't like it when ponies cooperate. She thinks friendship, even team cooperation, are useless. Let's prove her wrong. Let's make the best team we can. Enough trying to take Calice down alone or stroking egos. [Oh how hard that lesson had hit him in the past at home.]

To start, I'm reaching out to you all now for a role call. I'm creating a list we can all access with our abilities and whatever name you would like to go by. -It's up to you if you want to share your ID. Think of adding yourself to this list as an agreement to give this team idea a chance.

This invitation is extended to all. You don't have to be a masked hero like myself. You don't even have to be a fighter- we need all kinds of talents. There is more to saving the day than throwing punches.

[He looks a little sheepish or even pained as he adds a last message.]
Lastly, Magical Girls, I know you're out there. I know I'm a guy in a mask and maybe it's not cool to let me into the group, but please consider joining. This effort is for the greater good. We can't limit our allies to those of one kind of title or power any more.
[Okay, maybe he's been a little peeved knowing that the magical girls have been keeping all the other hero-types and would-be-helpers out of the loop.]

[ooc: tl;dr This is a call upon others to all work together and make an effort to become an organized force against Calice for the next fight/to support the information gathering effort. A new page for the list (see tab "List for Team") has been added to our group's spreadsheet. If your character wants to join the effort, add their info to the list. Super powers are not required. Just a willingness to help.]

Anti-hero or whatever you like to be called, as long as you're on our side and willing to play nice with the rest of the group, you're in.

Tell me more about that V-watch and its speed powers.

[superstylishsquid]

Can't guarantee I'll be too great at taking orders, but I've been getting better at playing well with others.

The V-watch is a transformation item that only works for people chosen to inherit it. Its powers are...well, pretty much what it says on the tin. Slow slows things down, makes landings easier and gives you more time to process things. Good for messing up an enemy's aim, too, since you don't slow down quite as much, and it amplifies the force of an attack.

Mach speed lets me move a lot faster than I normally could, fast enough to create tornadoes if I didn't have a much less dizzying method of doing that. Pretty much what people think when they hear super speed, really.

[selfmadespeedster]

Huh. So Mach speed gives you super speed abilities, while Slow makes your perception of things faster? Or does it actually literally slow other stuff down?

[In both cases one would move faster than everything else. He had to ask again to make sure he understood the difference.]

[superstylishsquid]

It actually slows things down. If I used it while somepony was falling, it'd keep them from ending up a pancake even if I didn't catch them.

[selfmadespeedster]

Okay I get it now! I wonder if you could give me a boost with that in battle. You know- I all ready have super speed but I'm still not as fast as my mentor back home.

Can you use both modes at once or only one at a time?
