"It is!"

"I have this notion of starting it boring and black-on-white and then surprise everyone with 'suddenly interesting.'"

"You have to manage actual interestingness to pull that off, be warned."

"Well, yes, obviously, thus my being stumped. It may be that mine is too ambitious a goal to be achieved."

"Well, come up with a fallback if you aren't visited by the muse of half-hour presentations."

"There's a muse for half-hour presentations?"

"Maybe the epic poetry one retrained."

"Of course. I wonder if I could make a presentation about trigger events, and different types of powers, and conjure copies to demonstrate my points."

"I guess that would be informative."

"Not interesting?"

"Maybe too fact-sheet-y? I don't know exactly how you plan to present it."

"Hmm, well, the exciting part was supposed to be sort of a game of sorts, maybe start with a trigger story, and then have the kids suggest powers that that trigger could generate, with the appropriate drawbacks, and make a copy with those powers, and then maybe talk about the psychological aspect of it."

"Trigger stories aren't typically light fare."

"Nnnno, they aren't, but that's a bit of the point. It's, hmm, the kind of thing every cape goes through to get their powers, it's a way to understand why capes are the way they are a bit? Also to break a bit from the perpetual monotonous Be A Good Student, Don't Do Drugs, Don't Jaywalk talks these kids get."

"Yeah, I just mean, don't terrify the elementary schoolers."

"...I'll try? I mean, I triggered when I was seven, I may not have the best thermometer for that."

"Probably don't use your own example, then, make something up."

"Mmhm. I might go with a few examples, actually, for different kinds of powers."

"Sure."

"And I'll probably need to clear with Branding. It's not like the existence of trigger events is exactly a secret, but your average cape geek doesn't really know about it."

"Yeah. Which is weird. I mean, most people won't bring up theirs since it's personal but the phenomenon seems like it should be better known."

"It's... bad PR, perhaps, that literally every superpowered person also happens to have some form of horrible trauma in their past."

"Yeah, I guess. But a lot of people who don't have powers have been through shit too."

"They have, but they don't also happen to be able to," and they produce a handgun, floating in front of them, "at will. Or," and there's a Siberian lookalike, standing behind them.

"Mmhm."
