sooo what kind of powers do you guys have? were you born with them or get them in some freak incident or what?

[He pauses as he types out the text, considering if he should be honest about his intentions or not. It's not like he had any sinister plans or anything. It's just a matter of being private. But he doesn't want to sound too weird or shady. This sounds shady doesn't it??

He types and deletes a bunch of times, unhappy with most of the reasons he tries to give for asking the question. This one makes him sound too weak, this one makes him sound too ignorant, this one just makes him sound stupid. Eventually he settles for...well, nothing. He just gives up and hits send.]

You have powers? I've met some people here who do, too. What are yours?

[ they seem to work differently in every universe, though, and so he won't jump to conclusions. ]

My brother and I started learning when we were young. I think I was 7? It's hard to remember. My father studied it, so we did, too.

[ good thing this is text. the reasons for the Elrics picking up alchemy aren't the happiest, and it would show on Ed's face for sure. ]

[imanapexpredator]

yeah. i kind of got them not too long ago. i can move things with my mind and fly and stuff.

7? that's kind of early. you must be really good by now then

[forfeits]

I don't know, there's always more to learn, but I feel pretty good about it. But move things with your mind? Did that just happen one day? I guess you can't really train yourself for that, can you?

[imanapexpredator]

i mean i can train myself for it now but yeah, it's not something you can just...learn. i got it from some glowing rick in a cave.

[forfeits]

You got powers from a rock? That's pretty weird. I guess it's not so bad -- pretty useful powers to have!

[imanapexpredator]

i have no idea what's up with that. but it is pretty useful yeah. i've gotten to where i can move pretty much anything.

[forfeits]

That's really amazing. I'd love to see it in action, sometime! I can show you alchemy, too.

[imanapexpredator]

[How does he deal with this? People being cool towards him thing?? What does he even say????]

yeah that sounds cool. i'd like to actually see alchemy sometime

[forfeits]

Awesome! We're going to try to see if people can learn it, too. Alchemy here would be pretty useful!

[imanapexpredator]

is there someone else here who knows alchemy?

[Because he said "we".]

[forfeits]

Yeah, my brother does! We both learned it at the same time.
