Mr. Despair posted:that said drat, I've seen drunk physics majors who have never bowled before at least be able to hit the pins, it's not that hard! Well there's your problem. Of course physics majors can bowl. Annie's been cheating on her physics homework for so long, she doesn't understand things like collisions, friction, etc.

Mr. Despair posted:these people are monsters, and there's no way she's getting double strikes in street shoes (although her form looks good, so maybe Janet just has really, really rad bowling boots). I would guess Janet's super archer powers extend to bowling. She could probably bowl a perfect game in heels.

Can someone recap me on all the kids supposed powers are? These are the kids from the weird paranormal dorm, right? Or am I confusing this scenario with Surma's.

Malpais Legate posted:Can someone recap me on all the kids supposed powers are? These are the kids from the weird paranormal dorm, right? Or am I confusing this scenario with Surma's. Annie & Co. are all in Queslett, which has calmed down a lot, and everyone there has some sort of special gift. We don't know what all of them are. Annie is the Human Torch, Janet is Green Arrow, Paz is Dr. Doolittle, Jack is techno-whiz/Literal Spider Man, Kat is robo-goddess, and that's about all we know for now.

FronzelNeekburm posted:Surma and Anja were originally placed in Chester, the weirdo superpowers house. Later, they were moved to Queslett, which used to be the hardcore anti-messing-around-with-powers house. We don't know if their gifts extend to the supernatural, but we do know Margo is a bit of an artist and John is a musician. We don't know much about them besides that, and given that we knew Paz liked animals long before we knew she could talk to them, I wouldn't be surprised if they did have super art powers. Also, Smitty is in the same house, but Parley is not. I can't remember if that's only because Parley is older and the house system changes at some point.

SynthOrange posted:When the first time I went bowling in forever a year or so ago, I discovered that the lanes are oiled. Ask me how. Hah, I did this as a kid too. One of the balls had gotten stuck in the return down the far end, so I figured I'd help everyone out and go bring it back

speaking as a former bowling alley mechanic, that oil is the bane of my existence. It's needed to get the balls to run properly down the lane and strike the pins the way bowlers expect them to after a throw. It makes hooks possible. However, it also gums up literally everything else about those machines, coats the balls and transfers to every surface they touch. And if a bowler steps on the lane and tracks the oil back onto the approach, then I gotta go out there with a can of aerosol mineral spirits and spray and scrub the oil away before the wood swells. Oiling the lanes is a HUGE hassle, even with the mostly-fully-automatic machine, and I could literally go on for days about the crotchety old league bowlers and their disdain for my work. I'm really glad I don't work in a bowling alley anymore.

The reference to using the ball as your hand to push them over makes me think we're about to see attempted ethereal cheating. Which goes awry when fire Annie instead makes the pins explode.
