1. mistpouffer
(n.) a mysterious sound heard over the
ocean in quiet, foggy weather

A classic spooky adventure setup!

2. meraki
(n.) the soul, creativity, or love put into
something; the essence of yourself that is
put into your work

Possibly something based around psychometry used on a piece of artwork. Or, I have been toying with the concept of one of J'onn's forms being a musician. He's also a beautiful singer and dancer in a weird alien way. Maybe someone witnesses it.

an all-nighter

He literally never stops working. Someone do some work with him.

Capture by a supervillain? Transported back in time? A symbolic, psychic dungeon?

Uitwaaaien

[avatar_state]

There were times to step away, and for her - that involved airbending. It had always been the hardest for her to master; the last skill she had achieved on her journey to becoming the Avatar. She had started out so brash and eager; the subtlety involved had been difficult, frustrating. It was only in crisis that she'd found it.

Now, when she needed to clear her head, she turned to the winds. Standing on the sandy ground, she took a stance, her hands moving gracefully in front of her, forming the air currents around her, stirring up the sand into patterns, raising it like tendrils into the air.

And when she moved forward she stepped onto updrafts of air, lifting herself up high before coming slowly back down, with a smile.

One day. One day she'd figure out flight. For now, steps would do. She was so absorbed in her practice that she didn't notice the others' approach...

paraprosexia; hope this is alright, lmk if I need to change anything??

[multihero]

( Link was too distracted to have any real good sense of how he came to be where he was. Honestly, it was as if he had paraglided off Mount Hylia and missed his mark by several thousand miles, and possibly centuries? However, as soon as he was an hour, two, three -a day?- into his journey, he found himself constantly renewed with interest to nearly everything. He lost focus in reaching a high enough place to get a good vantage point. Even if it was dark, getting some elevation could potentially reveal any distant light. How could he keep on tact if he was constantly being bombarded with overwhelming environmental stimuli that called for his immediate attention?

Smells, noises, even a change of wind pushed Link down a path which he was disregarding as soon as he conquered three feet down it. He was lost and too distracted to care about it. The bewilderment barely surfaced the insatiable landscape which excited Link more than anything.

It was as if he'd been imprisoned for so long he'd forgotten everything else before his descent from Mount Hylia. From the very simple things such as his very own weight on his feet and the way tree bark felt beneath his fingertips, to more complicated things such as the endeavor in recollecting smells. Despite the familiarity of smells, it was as if Link was experiencing them for the first time. His mind was in constant movement, as was his body, raptured by the senses and guided down a path that would lead him to yet another unfamiliar setting.

Without any hesitation, Link ascended to the new environment. He brushed through the tall, dry grass of an open field, down to where he saw a large complex of uneven buildings. He did not recognize it as a factory (although, even if he paused to try and recognize it, he may not have been able to conclude that much), as his mind raced past acknowledgment and quickly into movement. He simply saw and went toward the door to explore through sight, touch, smell, taste, or whatever would satisfy his curiosity. He even dared hope for a treasure he could pocket. )
