[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?

I had the same problem... that's why I train almost everyday. Control can be hard to learn, but if you work hard it'll come quickly.

video

[iamtetsuo]

Does it go away if you do that?

video

[huntergames]

For me it did. I only get small headaches if I use the power for too long since I'm still adjusting.

video

[iamtetsuo]

Guess that's something...

video

[huntergames]

Give it a shot! You'll never know unless you try.

video

[iamtetsuo]

I've been working on it.

[So far no luck on the pain scale.]

video

[huntergames]

It might pay off sooner than you realize.

[ But if not... ]

Um, maybe there's an imPort doctor I can ask? If you need some kind of medication for the headaches.

video

[iamtetsuo]

...You can ask. I'm not going to talk to them.

[Hey you know that's not half a bad idea if he's got a go-between...]

video

[huntergames]

Why not?

video

[iamtetsuo]

I don't want to.

video

[huntergames]

[ She gets the sense she shouldn't push the topic. ]

... alright. That is fair.

I'll only ask someone if you ever want me to.

video

[iamtetsuo]

[He's almost expecting to have to fight the topic - the fact he doesn't is a welcome surprise. Enough that sure, he'll see if he can get anything out of this.

Shrug.]

I'll try medicine or whatever. I just don't want to deal with doctors to get it.

video

[huntergames]

You can only get medicine from doctors, though...

video

[iamtetsuo]

You can get it from drug stores, too!

[Now he's just being stubborn. Nothing over the counter's going to make a dent in what he's got and he knows that by now]

video

[huntergames]

Not all... b-but like I said! If maybe you need... help somehow, I'll try!

video

[iamtetsuo]

I just need something that'll take the pain away... That's it.
