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.

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

[dendarii]

It's embarrassing. And cruelly ironic.

is this your way of saying you're disappointed

[ There is a delay. He probably is literally reading, immediately. ]

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.

[bosewicht]

i guess as long as you can control it, you can move on from there. not everyone will have that luxury.

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.

[dendarii]

Ah ... well. I've gotten better. It helps having a few safety nets. And a few people who can undo it if worse comes to worst.

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.]

[bosewicht]

trusted people, i imagine. you could say i'm new in town.
this document says the Porter gives us our powers. do you believe that?

[bosewicht]

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?

[dendarii]

Very much so. I'm quite grateful for their presence.

And that's an absolute fact. I had nothing before coming here..

[historiology]

Others have been here longer and might know more. But I remember when I first got here they had these seminars for a few days. Each time I went, it seemed to affect my resonance. I couldn't see or hear Mikleo, my seraph friend, as well as I usually can. I think they just take away all of our powers? I only know of them from that one time myself so far though.

if there's a way to get rid of all of them, it wouldn't be that hard to make it take away just one or something? or, i'd figure anyway. but yeah. one of them.

[Which he is decidedly not going to specify or go into details about. Partly because there is only so much he himself knows and because it's dangerous if any of the vampires might show up here. Or certain (most) of the military.]

[nastygram]

most people are deluding themselves
surprise surprise

and/or they didn't actually get shit on w/ these

[hostage]

You asked if there was any way to shut it off and there is

Not that it's a good idea cuz then you're pretty much helpless

Actually most of us do everything we can to keep our powers from getting nulled

The reason we have them is because Fate wants us to

And if you stick around a while you'll see why

[bosewicht]

i mean that in comparison to active government conspiracy. something with agency that, in your case, has a sense of the cruel and ironic.

[bosewicht]

i did say that. i wasn't trying to be ungrateful, i'm just looking for help.

Fate wants?

[bosewicht]

they put 'hero' on our arm. maybe some people took it at face value. i don't know.

[bosewicht]

so it was hidden? they tricked you into proximity?

i don't know how it works. if we're altered on a genetic level, if it has something to do with the nanites, if it's something else entirely.
