[ It has taken Lan Wangji a while to figure out how to use his communicator, and he only really started the attempt once he decided it might be of use to him. So he hasn’t been paying attention to the network, much. Forgive him. Now, though, he has questions that he cannot divine the answers to himself.

He needs a basis of knowledge here that he just doesn’t have.

He doesn’t know how to lock this from Wei Wuxian so he... just hopes the man doesn’t see it. ]

Questions:

Inner power - cultivated or gifted?

If cultivated: remains the same from home?

If given: boon or bane?

If granted a curse, is cure to be found?



Further questions:

How long imprisoned without dungeon or whip? Freedom only through chance - any hope of choice?

Availability of lotus seeds?

Best wine?

[video, because he never rolls any other way]

[jadus]

There is no cure, only treatment: total power nullification. The government retains exclusive control of this. If you desire a cure, you must petition them.

There is no choice.

[He includes a link to a seed supplier.]

text, because otherwise you won't get more than two words out of him at a time.

[secondjade]

[ There's a pause in the reply as Wangji can't help but study the mask a moment. ]

Nullification?

Full suppression of abilities - rendered mundane?

[ He clinks the link, and then: ]

Store?

[jadus]

Yes. They provide no other way. Others may provide temporary solutions, but they also come at a cost.

You are unfamiliar with these things?

[secondjade]

Unacceptable.

Focused treatment required.


Unfamiliar with device, communication method.

Physical location?

[pullsheavendown]

Is this like a survey?

-Kind of both?
-The stuff I could already do is the same but there's some extra now
-Boon

I don't know about the rest of that stuff sorry

[secondjade]

All answers welcome.

Extra?

[pullsheavendown]

I can make ice cream now. Like just with my hands, not a machine or ingredients or anything.
And the new paperwork said something about stuff I can do with my heart but I don't really understand it.

[aayyy it's that guy.]

That's the most I've ever seen you say.

For a given value of "Say."

I was born with my abilities and they followed me here, as far as I can tell. I never liked them anyway, but it'd be even worse if they were changed too much. In a place like this, being close to 'normal' is a hindrance more than anything, isn't it?

But some of it doesn't seem to work much outside of this city. So annoying.

[secondjade]

[ He's not even going to comment to how much he speaks, because, well, you're just point the obvious out there, Miu. ]

Normal unnecessary. More curious to gained powers. Unnatural.

Limited to Jeopardy?

[blackwaterchild]

I haven't noticed if there's anything added, but I haven't really tried either.

Yeah. One of the things I can do is see and talk to spirits, but when I travel outside Jeopardy it's like everything goes dead silent.

No pun intended.

It was weird and really uncomfortable.

[Odd. Kylo frowns, scrolling through the visible responses. Then:]

Are you using the communicator's direct link.

[secondjade]

Script raised on screen, input through device.

More direct method possible?

[photophobic]

[Odder still.]

Yes. You have the ability to access the Network with your mind.

Inner power - Both, I would say. I've worked very hard to perfect my technology and I've had enhancements happen here.

It's been very much a boon.

If you're talking about being imprisoned in this world as a whole, then you do have a lot of choice here. Think of it as a new life.

[secondjade]

Technology?

Best suited to life as was.

Prison regardless of form or shape. Purpose stolen, new not desired.

[mysterioisthetruth]

I'm going to assume you're not very well versed in the modern era.

Unfortunately, you're going to have to adapt to life here since none of us can leave voluntarily. Which - obviously - you already got with with all this talk of a prison.

I'm going to assume by "cultivated" you mean did we have our powers before arriving here? Or that we have them naturally.

I wasn't born with my powers, but the ones I was given back home have remained the same here. Plus an extra power that I didn't have before. They've been mostly a boon, though the circumstances were a bit of a bane.

As far as I know, there's no way to change the powers the Porter have you, you just have to practice and learn to control them. There's also no way to go back home willingly. You just have to wait until the Porter is done with you.

My favorite kind of wine they have here is Rosé. It's sort of halfway between red and white.

[secondjade]

Cultivated within one's self.

Inner power, grown naturally.

Powers given twice? Once before, once again?

Rosé. Gratitude.

[usaf]

I have an inner power, but it wasn't grown naturally. I got it by accident.

[prophesiedone]

Gifted and I guess I would call it more of a boon? My visions are the only part that I sometimes wish I didn't have.

[He hasn't been cursed, but he has helped others who have been. Cures don't seem likely.]

Are you thinking of the cities as prisons?

I'm not sure about lotus seeds, but I can help you with the wine.

[secondjade]

Visions?


Not cities. World.

Gratitude.

[prophesiedone]

I have had them since I can remember. The Force shares insight with a select few in my galaxy.

I can see that.

The first bottle will be on me.
