trans_9 | For the Techies

Most girls, when given the option, would rather go shopping for clothes. Even before she gained her powers, Cassie hadn't been much of a fan of that. Now that she could grow and shrink (sometimes involuntarily) it was just a bad idea. And until she could find any unstable molecules clothing was affordable (which would be never), it just wasn't going to happen. Well, she did buy a cute dress for the very rare occasion she might need one, and to wear if she went out later, but that was it.

But there was one thing she loved shopping for.

High tech, gadgets, the works. It was like candy. Currently she was ~~lusting after~~ staring at a set of magnetic bucky balls and was considering if there was enough tech on Stacy to justify buying it just to fool around with. She was all ready looking at some of the other gadgets with ideas on how to cannibalize them into parts.

But those bucky balls were awfully tempting. ~~And come on, we all know Cassie likes her metal balls.~~

[This sucker is open to anyone who wants to go gadget shopping, you don't have to tag Cassie (although it'd be nice) if you don't want. I figured some people would want to send their characters over here anyway.]

"Well, I bought a cheap dress. I can grown and shrink and sometimes I lose control of those powers. The plantsuit at least changes with me but I've gone through a lot of clothes. I might as well throw money away." She shrugged, and regarded the bucky balls again. "Well, I could..."

Oh, she's got powers! Jamie looks a bit impressed for a moment, and then what Cassie mentioned about the fact that she doesn't always have control sinks in.

"How did ye manage before coming to Stacy?" he asks, not realizing how it might sound. He doesn't mean it in a rude way - sometimes he just jumps right in with questions without thinking it through first. He realizes it after a moment, though and grimaces.

"That was rude of me, wasn't it? I'm sorry."

He'll just study the Bucky Balls as well, although it's more out of a need to have something to focus on so he doesn't say anything else that might be misconstrued.

"No, it's fine. First I wore my costume under my clothes and then Stark paid for my clothes to be made out of unstable molecules. I've gotten a lot better controlling my powers but it only takes one time to ruin them."

"Unstable molly...molecules." Jamie stumbles over the word just a little, as it's not one he usually uses. Or has much of a grasp on what it means, if he were to be honest. However, he's able to pick up enough context from the rest of her words to get a little bit of an idea. At least, in the very broad 'it's some sort of special clothing' sort of way. So he's not completely faking it when he says, "Oh, aye. Those."

His gaze flicks back and forth between the toy and Cassie. "Do ye like being able to change size like that, aside from the wee problem with the clothes?"

Cassie smirked. "Yeah. I wouldn't have exposed myself to pym particles otherwise. I wanted these powers."

Well, that one Jamie has no clue about. He looks rather confused for a moment before asking, "Pym particles? What are those?"

Cassie shook her head, smiling. "Ah, right. You wouldn't know. Pym particles are what allow me to change size. Normally they do this as a one time only thing but I was exposed enough times I can do it at will."

Jamie's not even embarrassed that he's been caught at not knowing something. "Oh, so ye gave yourself the powers, then. I just thought that the people like you just had them already, aye?"

After a moment, he adds, "I've not really talked with many...och, what did Zoe call ye...super-heroes before."
