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.]

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?

[heart_breaking]

Everything. just give it time. youll figure it out soon.

[imanapexpredator]

i don't know, it can't be any worse than where i was before. i mean im not stupid i know it's probably not perfect or anything and its shady as hell but still

[heart_breaking]

what was wrong with the place you came from?

[imanapexpredator]

the people

[heart_breaking]

There probably no better here than they were their.

[imanapexpredator]

maybe not better but. i don't know, different. in a good way.

[heart_breaking]

For you, maybe.

[imanapexpredator]

well they haven't really bothered me yet. that's all that really matters to me.

[heart_breaking]

I got skewered. just give it a few more days.
