I don't exactly meet the minimum qualifications anymore.

[selfimmolation]

There's qualifications?

[ imagine having to be qualified to do something instead of just taking a sailboat out and hoping for the best ]

[foreverphantom]

Yeah, generally people want to make sure you're qualified to be driving the rocket that costs more than the combined net worth of several countries.

[selfimmolation]

Sailing in space is sounding less and less like the sea now. [ i need you to understand ace does not know this but a man did go to the moon using a regular ass ship in one piece. anyway ] So what qualifications do you lack? Can't you just... train for those?

[foreverphantom]

[ help, one piece

anyway danny just sighs ]

You can't train things like your heart rate or your body temperature.

[selfimmolation]

... Your body temperature is wrong?

[foreverphantom]

Yes.

[ beat. ]

...I think. I haven't checked since...a while ago. But it's probably still wrong.

[selfimmolation]

[ ... touches danny's forehead like he can tell ]

[foreverphantom]

[ okay well danny will pull away from the touch when he does this, but for the moment that ace does make contact with his forehead he feels...

like a totally normal temperature!!! ]

[selfimmolation]

Sorry, my bad. [ sometimes you are used to everyone you meet having no sense of personal space ] But your temperature seems normal to me?

[foreverphantom]

It...does?

[ feels his own forehead. he has no idea how to gauge his own temperature like this.

so he presses two fingers down on his wrist for a moment, and then under his jawline. ]

...huh. Oh, that's weird.

[selfimmolation]

Huh, hey, maybe it got fixed and you can be an astronaut now!

[ that is not how that works. ]

[foreverphantom]

I think it's just a side effect of whatever this place is doing to mess with our powers.

[selfimmolation]

Ugh, I keep forgetting about that.

[foreverphantom]

Lucky you. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

[selfimmolation]

What happened to yours? Mine's... I don't know, partway working.

[foreverphantom]

Mine too. Emphasis on "partway."

[selfimmolation]

And yours usually make your heartbeat slower?

[foreverphantom]

It's...a side effect.

[selfimmolation]

Makes sense. My body heat got way higher after I got mine.

[foreverphantom]

Has it lowered since coming here?

[selfimmolation]

No, but I'm still mostly fire.

[foreverphantom]

[




goes to poke him right in his shirtless chest. IS HE??? ]

[selfimmolation]

[ no it is solid muscle right now. enjoy ... that? ]

If I turn into fire now, I'd burn you. [ don't use your HAND? ]

[foreverphantom]

[ waves his hand dismissively ]

I could pass through it anyway, it wouldn't hurt me.

But alright, sure. Hands off. [ he holds both his hands up as proof that they are not touching Ace ] Let's see it now.
