( Carl's first text post, and he's already nervous. He didn't want to talk about it, especially to strangers, but he's not finding the answers he's been looking for. )

Can we get different powers if we don't like what we got arriving here?

Not on purpose. But sometimes when people port out, they come back with something different.

What powers did you get?

[112ounces]

So you can't pick and choose a power?

( He's not answering that second question, obviously. )

[bindsthedead]

Not to my knowledge. Although I've no complaints about my own.

text

[112ounces]

So its permanent until the Porter thing gives you a new one?

text

[bindsthedead]

Well, some people have learned magic here? But as far as I know there's no way to get rid of powers.

text

[112ounces]

Like magic tricks?

[deformer]

wow, you must have one lameass power if you're askin that.
lemme guess
you can fly but you have to turn your ears into huge dumbo ears

( More like he can bite people and have them turn into flesh eating undead. )

I wish.

[deformer]

yeah now that I think about it that sounds kinda cool
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
you can fly but only by propelling yourself with farts!

[112ounces]

Sure, let's go with that.

[deformer]

y'know if you're not gonna play along I'm not gonna keep entertaining you with my hilarious guesses
but uh to my knowledge, no, not really
I've never tried to change em but I've been ported in and out like four or five times and my powers have always been the exact same

[112ounces]

Sorry.

So it's random if it will ever be changed?

[deformer]

pretty much. sorry.
but hey maybe if you experiment you can find some cool way to use it?
or you could like
just learn mma or something
and just say your power is punching dudes really hard

[112ounces]

It's not a power I can use without hurting people.

But I guess I can make a pretend power.

[deformer]

oh. that kinda sucks.
does it at least do something cool like give them a boost or something if you do it?

[cannotrest]

I wish.

: text

[112ounces]

So nothing at all will change them?

[cannotrest]

Not on purpose, anyway.

[Ashley's eyeballing the other threads.]

The government has power nullifiers, but they don't just hand them out.

[112ounces]

How can I get one?

[cannotrest]

Ask around at the military bases, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

[goldtoxicity]

Don't think so.
In my experience, no matter what your gift is, its yours for life.

[112ounces]

( God, Carl hates this so much. He hates his power. )

Great.

text.

[goldtoxicity]

Sorry.
Is it something you can learn to control? Like, it sucks but it can be done.
And if it's not, then there are other ways to deal. Preventative measures and stuff.

[forcelight]

Doesnt seem like it
Are yours so bad?

[112ounces]

I don't like mine for personal reasons.

[forcelight]

I know someone. He has been ported out a few times and has had some power changes, but I think he said its random.

text »

[112ounces]

So if I leave and come back, there's a chance I might get a different power?

text »

[forcelight]

I can't really say for sure, but there is a chance.

text

[choosetruth]

You can always just not use them.

text

[112ounces]

I know but it's still something I don't like. There's always a chance that I have no choice but to use them, and that's what I hate it so much.

text

[choosetruth]

There's always a choice, kid. Even if it's a choice with no good options.
