[Try as she might, Sookie can't figure out how to do this anonymously, so at the very least she won't show her face. It's too damn embarrassing.]

thanks!

is there a specific power you want to fake? or do you just want to make it look like you have a power--any power--that you don't have?

[wordaday]

the second one. i don't really care what it is, honestly.

[notsheepish]

Ive never really thought about it but i guess if youre just trying to convince someone you have a power you dont, youd better come up with one nobody could ask you to show them?

Like um

Being able to see the future in your dreams but not always being able to remember it?

Or making coffee taste sweeter but only for yourself

[wordaday]

i really like the last one, but would anyone believe me? im worried they'll just keep pushing if i say it was something little and kind of dumb

[snoobs]

Why?

[wordaday]

because the producer of my show is after me nonstop to reveal my power on camera and that just really doesn't need to happen.

[After reading through the other responses.]

Tell your producer to fuck off and leave you alone.

Re: text;

[wordaday]

i did, but he just keeps coming. i guess it's super important everyone know what i can do, which is just invasive if you ask me

I suggest you make up something utterly boring, darling. You could pretend that you have a supernatural ability to sense the presence of tax dodgers!

Re: text

[wordaday]

i could probably do that.

[Well, y'know, she can. If they're thinking about taxes at the moment.]

text - I'm sorry I'm so sorry

I know some tricks with kegels. I can teach you how to shoot a ping pong ball at least two feet up in the air. Most dudes are dumb enough to think it's a superpower.

I can also make it look like my thumb popped off. Totally unrelated to the kegels thing, but it works on little kids and most monkeys.

1/2 OH MY GOD

[wordaday]

[Okay so she's not quite sure what kegels are, but she's got a suspicion so hold on while she looks that up reeeeal quiiiick.....]

2/2

[wordaday]

[YEAH. YEP. THAT'S WHAT SHE THOUGHT.]

sorry, looking to fool a grown man and not get naked. big change from the usual, right?

[nastygram]

r u still a no on big ass scandal???

[wordaday]

[Oh hey anonymous jerk, nice to see you again.

"See".]

STILL A NOPE

[vorbarra]

Faking that you have them or faking that you don't?

[wordaday]

faking something i don't have!

[ text ]

[ghoulking]

Why would you need such a thing?

Re: [ text ]

[wordaday]

so I can tide some pretty big assholes over

[classification]

Tell them your power is not having tolerance for nosy questions.

[pushtheboundaries]

That seems more of a weakness. A power would be the ability to not answer a nosy question.

what if you are really really talented at something

and just say, that's it. that's my power.

i mean when my dad was here, his power was sharpshooting and he didn't even need that. he was already a good enough shot.

Re: text

[wordaday]

that's actually a really great idea. i'm not good at a lot, but i've got a few things

THANK YOU

VIDEO.

[arsiento]

Just make something up that's too dangerous to use. Ain't no one gonna wanna be held responsible for you killing someone by mistake, y'know?

[Holy crap. Sook is really thankful that she's decided on text right about now, because the reels back just a bit seeing Chato's...everything. Wow. W O W. That definitely puts Chow's yakuza tattoos to shame.

Y'know. For certain values of shame]

i think that would just make it all more interesing

[Jesus Christ, Sookie.]

This really the best way you thought to go about this?

Re: voice;

[wordaday]

[Don't you look at her in that tone of voice.]

Well, I don't know many people here to ask, do I?

[morethan084]

Why would you want to fake powers?

[wordaday]

to get my producer off my back

[gearshifting]

[Richie on the other hand is definitely being anonymous when he responds.]

There's plenty of ways. Technology is amazing like that. Or you could just lie and say that your powers only work on a blue moon. A real blue moon. Won't be another one of those for a couple years.

[akito]

Here's one: the ability to quit jobs with dumbass bosses.

And if that doesn't work just go with learning a card trick or something. Or throw someone else under the bus to draw attention away from yourself.
