[ Tonight, the video feed shows Gaby tossing a roughly palm-sized object up into the air and catching it repetitively; for those who venture to look more closely it's a door knob. For those who venture to look even more closely, there is a nearly-unhinged door somewhere in the background. Sorry, Heropa 006. ]

I'm curious. Now, I'm sure this question has been posed many times before, but I'd still like to know. How many of you already had powers before you were brought to this place? And how many of you were--for lack of a better term--completely ordinary beforehand? And how did you adjust to your newfound powers, if at all?

You see, I've been here for quite some time now, but still find it a little difficult to compensate for this--hm, unnatural strength? [ she doesn't want to call it super strength ] That I've been given. I assumed I would get used to it over time, but perhaps there's something more to it than just that.

[ She sighs, and stops tossing the thing up and down, now holding the broken-off doorknob up to be seen. ]

In other news, there doesn't happen to be anyone here with the power to fix doors very quickly, does there? I can certainly fix it myself, but I'm afraid I might make things worse instead.

[ Gaby does her best to follow, but unfortunately she doesn't know anything about programming, being from the early 60's. She knows very little of it from having lived here for a few months now, but the specifics of it continue to elude her. The gist of what he says she can at least understand based on context and such, and she nods along. ]

Interesting. I have to admit that I'm unfamiliar with programming, but I think I've got the main idea. Would you mind giving an example of that power at work? It could be a hypothetical one.

Well since this is a video feed, it's not terribly difficult to give a visual demonstration.

[Hermann looks around and then behind himself and gestures to the coffee table in the living room with the butt of his cane. After a few moments, it vanishes entirely in a blink of tiny white numbers, and then returns in the same way about half a minute later, rotated 90 degrees and colored blue.]

A very basic application, I adjusted its position and color property.

[ Gaby looks thoroughly impressed, and gives another nod. ]

Very impressive. I hope you weren't too terribly attached to that coffee table, though it sounds like you could very easily return it to its previous state, correct? You mentioned something about a "return point."
