Well, that depends on the power. It takes a lot of careful control, and practice, to make them work properly, in my experience, no matter what the powers actually are.

[heavyhitter]

that sounds like it takes FOREVER u dont have a quick fix???

[selfequipped]

Honestly, it depends on the powers themselves. Some are more active than others. More specifics would really help, but I know why you wouldn't want to give them.

As it is, I know what it's like. A lot of us do. Powers are ... strange.

[heavyhitter]

[prepare for reeeeally slow text replies, Ana. he still needs more than a little practice before he's a competent grandpa typist.]

I'm afraid that my own experiences may not be very helpful, as one of my abilities was from home and another was a passive attribute.

The other one, however, I activated by focusing intently on making it manifest. After succeeding the first time it became much easier to call it forth again.

[heavyhitter]

whats the 3rd one
actually whats the 2nd one too
and the 1st while were at it

You can't be serious. You really don't waste time do you?

[heavyhitter]

[schrader]

Total assfuck of an accident, that's how I figured it out. What, they forget to hand out the 'Mutation for Dummies' book to you, too, or were they just charging extra?

[heavyhitter]

yeah i lost my copy real sad
what was ur assfuck accident?

[tbh he's half tempted to tell her the key to unlocking powers is stepping off a high building to shock your system, but it wouldn't really suit his image. SO.]

Wouldn't that depend on the sort of power you're trying to unlock? That's how I understand this sort of thing.

[Which he doesn't know anything about, no sir. Well, maybe a little.]

[heavyhitter]

yeah i guess shitting out cakes would get unlocked different than flying...

[shuckit]

near death experience

[heavyhitter]

[Hal has no valuables other than the giant lantern he keeps on a table in his room out in the open where anyone can see it. It's totally fine as long as none of them see him use it, right? His ring never leaves his finger so no worries there.]

I got your mess-- you're the new guy?

[WHO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WISE TO PUT A TEENAGER WITH THREE STRANGE MALE ADULTS.]

[heavyhitter]

[ well whoever it was, Ramir seems totally fine with it. She's just been poking through the fridge, but straightens at the sound of a voice. Oh, look, one of them's home. He looks... disappointingly normal. ]

Guilty as charged. [ She executes the world's laziest wave, comprised mostly of the hand holding a pilfered soda and two fingers. ] Which one're you?

power 1 just happens. power 2 I just sort of knew how to work it. power 3 was trial and error.

[heavyhitter]

'just happens' 'just sort of knew' ty very useful
what r the powers?

[infomodder]

[Freddie as a cop tho.]

Only one involves actually focusing on it for it to kick in.
The others are about being in the right environment.

[heavyhitter]

ok spill what r they

I asked about this on the network myself just the other week. I received suggestions ranging from 'think really hard about it' to 'stop thinking about it' to 'find somebody who has the same ability as you do' to 'do good deeds and be happy.'

So, my investigation has revealed that there is no one set way for powers to activate, and for the record: nothing has worked yet.

[heavyhitter]

what! link me
and hopefully u just suck at this it cant be THAT hard

Practice. And a lot of patience.

[The only reason he hadn't been out on rooftops figuring out this city was because those first few days? His voice kept going from low and growly to sounding like a twelve year old girl on helium. The joy of voice modulation.]

You're the new guy?

[He's heard you clomping around Ramir. He's just been too busy sharpening arrows in his room.]
