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.]

Oh. Ok.

Does that mean you weren't born being able to do all that?

[imanapexpredator]

yeah. i've only been able to do it for like a month. maybe a little less.

there was this glowing crystal rock. it gave me nosebleeds and also powers, to make a long story short.

[Well it wasn't that long to begin with.]

[heart_breaking]

sounds pretty fantastic. did you bring the rock with you?

[imanapexpredator]

it's too big. it also was caved in so i never saw it again.

[heart_breaking]

I'm guessing it was a special glowing rock, or that wouldn't be a problem. There's plenty of glowing ones back in my world.

[imanapexpredator]

yeah. i've never seen one like it before

do they do anything besides glow? have you ever touched one?

[heart_breaking]

They don't. Touch makes them brighter, sometimes, but nothing else.

[imanapexpredator]

oh, damn.

so you never answered the question. i mean you did but it was obviously full of crap.

[heart_breaking]

Which question do you mean?

[imanapexpredator]

powers.

[If sighs could be heard through text this would be a loud one.]

[heart_breaking]

oh. no, I don't have any.

[imanapexpredator]

why did you answer, out of curiosity?

1/2

[heart_breaking]

Why not? I thought it was funny.

2/2

[heart_breaking]

Can you tell me more about that glowing crystal rock? Have you ever heard of it giving people healing powers?

[imanapexpredator]

[He might have found it funny any other time. But today he just found it frustrating.]

not really. powers and stuff isn't really a thing people expect to be real where i come from. like if you said you had healing powers or something you'd either be looked at like you were crazy or be worshiped by actual crazies.

there could be some stories of people getting powers and stuff from weird glowing rocks but i never heard any of them

[heart_breaking]

Ive heard a story. Its probably how people get powers normally. You're worlds being slow.

[imanapexpredator]

i know. i kinda figured after talking to a few people here that my world is really slow and lame.

[He's not going to deny that.]

what's the story you heard?

[heart_breaking]

Someone got a rock. It gave them magic healing powers that they say aren't actually magic.

[imanapexpredator]

why are they saying it's not magic?

[heart_breaking]

I don't know. Magic healing sounds just as magical as magic flying, to me.

[imanapexpredator]

i guess. i don't all of this stuff is really really new to me.

[heart_breaking]

Me too, sort of.

I got here a month ago.

[imanapexpredator]

longer than me, at least. i've only been here a few days.

[heart_breaking]

My condolences.

[...]

I mean that seriously. This place sucks.

[imanapexpredator]

really? i mean, kidnapping aside i don't really mind it.

[It's better than home. So much better.]

what sucks about it?
