i know some people came here with these powers from their home world.
but some of us didn't. some of us were normal, until we weren't. and i know i can't be the only one who is afraid of what we were given.

why do we have these powers?
to make us useful? to keep us in line?

and is there any way we can shut it off?

I've made peace with the one of mine that I hate. Only thing to be done about it given it isn' actively dangerous.

[bosewicht]

if it's not actively dangerous, why do you hate it?

[dendarii]

It's embarrassing. And cruelly ironic.

between weaponized solutions utilized by governing powers and a vague reference to technology beyond my comprehension, i'm not seeing what i need.
but thank you.

among other things. most people don't seem to mind.

There were those things the soviets used that seemed to affect our powers. I don't know much about them though, if anyone else might have some that work. I guess I didn't think on some powers being dangerous, scaring people. Is that why you're asking? I'm sure there's probably something to help with that.

it is why i'm asking, so i hope so. i don't know what else to do.
you experienced the nullification devices for yourself? can you tell me more about how they worked, what they did?

Mine are the same as back home. Though one of them is. Probably kind of complicated. I guess I wouldn't mind dealing with that one if I could, somehow. Without affecting the first 'power'. As far as I know, at least back home, there isn't a way to negate it.

[The affects of the seraph experiment. There might be some other way to deal with it here, or even back home that he is yet unaware of so far though.]

i hadn't thought about it like that, finding a way to isolate individual powers for nullification. i guess i'd be happy to get rid of all of them if i could, at least temporarily.
is the one you want to 'deal' with dangerous?

you're missing the point.
i don't want to hurt anyone.

[hasitsthorns]

You aren't the only one who is afraid.
My power is an extension of something I already do at home but it's... still a little tricky figuring it out.
But I get it. I don't wanna' hurt anyone with it or anything, which is totally possible and freaks me out.

But a lot of people here are really nice and are willing to help if you need it.

we're all in it together, right?
i just expect people either have their shit together or are more excited about being powerful than they are afraid.

Maybe we're their test subjects. Giving us abilities to see what we'd do with them.

Just a guess.

text. anonymous.

[bosewicht]

maybe.
but i can give them a prediction for the outcome: a smoking crater.

Not any way I've heard of. I do recall someone on the network expressing interest in finding ways to suppress unwanted or dangerous powers a while back, but I'm unsure if they found a solution.

it doesn't sound like anyone knows for sure. was this recent?

text

[aglonby]

i think they are meant to help but also they are meant for war. and it is a matter of learning them rather than shutting them off

i don't think they would give people abilities to keep us in line that seems counter productive.

text. anonymous.

[bosewicht]

from my angle it doesn't feel like help, that's all.
did you have to learn?

[aojona]

Do you mean afraid of the power in general, or are you specifically afraid of your own?

text. anonymous.

[bosewicht]

the latter. i'm sure there's room for the former, eventually.
