[It's time to play the 'who's awake at 1 AM' game! If you're not, Tetsuo's talking softly enough that it might not wake you. If you want to see or answer this later in the day when normal people are awake, feel free, but please specify.]

Everybody's got powers, right? That's why they want us to stick around...

[You can just hear how much he likes that prospect. He all but spits those last two words out like it's a curse.]

So anyway, I'm curious.

How many of you have 'side effects' from them? Anybody know? I know there's gotta be more than one... but it's not all of you, is it?

I - nnghh. I wanna know why that is... why's it only some people?

[excitababble]

[ Ahhh, so that's it. ]

Have you gone to see anyone about it? They've got to have some sort of specialist here that deals with super humans.

[iamtetsuo]

No! I'm done with 'specialists' or doctors or whatever they call it. They only make shit worse!

[excitababble]

Woah woah hey. Don't panic. It was just a suggestion.

[iamtetsuo]

Well, don't suggest it!

[Your face is panicking]

[excitababble]

It's not like I can take back the suggestion, but if it bothers you that much then I won't do it again.

[iamtetsuo]

Good.

[#awkward]

[excitababble]

[ So awkward, enough so that he'll wait a good half a minute before typing out a new reply. ]

So what is it?

[iamtetsuo]

What? The side effects?

[excitababble]

Mm, they have to be something serious if you've seen professionals about them before.

[iamtetsuo]

Tgh. I didn't have any of these problems then.

[excitababble]

They gave you the side effects?

[ If he's got side effects from his powers, they probably gave him those too... but Kangmo's not gonna make any comments along those lines. ]

[iamtetsuo]

[Tetsuo's pretty sure that's the case, but he wasn't able to do most of what he can now back there. It's a question]

I was there for ...

[Almost dying in a motorcycle accident.]

... something else. They did something.

[excitababble]

You don't remember what it was?

[iamtetsuo]

I remember them doing it.

[excitababble]

But not what IT was?

[iamtetsuo]

What's it to you, anyway?!

[translation: not a clue]

[excitababble]

Journalistic curiosity.

[ Or just being naturally nosy. ]

[iamtetsuo]

Well, I don't know, so stop asking! That satisfy your 'curiosity'?

[You know that moment when you didn't really mean to admit something but do anyway?]

[excitababble]

Not really, but it did answer my question.
